The alleged FC attacker wasn't even wearing FC colours… Probably one of the wannabe ultras in the Cove, they piss me off to no end. Standing on seats swearing at people who aren't singing loud enough... Sorry lads, I came to watch a football game as well.
Shouldn't be allowed to sit in the Cove unless you're wearing club colours.

What is it with followers of the round ball game, such a high ratio of absolute ?, . "heads. Here I was thinking that the game had grown up and about to take its place as a leading sport.
My son is nearly four and I was thinking of taking him to a game up the coast with his cousins, but will be putting it on the back burner for a while at the very least.

Surprise surprise an anti-football post from you in this thread. I guess you choose to ignore or miss out on reading the incidents in the other codes that don't get reported.
Over 100 people ejected every Melbourne Cup. Dozens of people every ODI. Don't get me started on AFL! I would comment on union but until they get a crowd, I cannot. Or are you forgetting the full cans of beer thrown at fellow league fans. I sure haven't! But no. Some of you believe violence only occurs at a football match and maybe in the Cross on a weekend. Wake-up to yourselves, it happens everywhere. It's a societal issue, not a sport-specific related one.
Ink, do yourself a favour and go to a game. See it for yourself.

Im not antif soccer, I will occasionally watch a game.
Your attitude is just like the official wanderers stance Peaches…deflecting blame, "its not our fault" ...typical pathetic response these days, no one takes responsibility for their actions these day, for an organization to take this stand is pathetic....its almost as tho they endorse the actions
You mention Melbourne Cup, AFL and League...this threads not about those events, besides,I dont see them marching in the streets with their identity hidden, antagonising the opposition - looking for trouble
\
\
Yeah, just like the Melbourne Cup. :unamused:
Your club has a fringe froot loop element .and while the WSW sweep their problem under the carpet, someone will one day get very seriously hurt or worse.....its on the cards
Why would I go when thats a possibilty?
Why do you go?
To stand and turn your back on the game and look at the bloke behind you...yeh right.

Full agreeance from me Ink….
Peaches I suggested to you around this time last year that this crap will compound and get worse every year. We had a couple of good arguments about it when you were under a different username.
You are right this is a societal problem but are ignorant to the fact that it is a soccer societal problem first and foremost. Why do you supporter groups have to march through the cities waving banners, chanting...all the while covering your faces? This isnt Australian behaviour, it is copy and pasted directly from the actions of supporter groups in Europe, South America etc....it is a soccer thing.
As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I have lived and worked in some of these places and have seen first hand the power of these mobs. I have witnessed respectable, professional people turn into drooling lunatics when they put on their club jerseys and march through the streets like they own them. Mob mentality is the scariest thing one will ever encounter as those within it automatically switch off their brain and behave as those aroung them are.
You proudly boast that you are a member of the RBB and describe it as a family. Well as I predicted mate, your family is growing and it is swelling in numbers due to the fact that its cousins are home from jail. Mark my words Peaches we who are commenting have seen it happen elsewhere, these supporter groups are havens for criminals, gang members and those who are totally antisocial.Have a look around you at your next game and seriously ask yourself how many people standing and chanting you would talk to if you werent wearing the same colours as them. I'll wager it will be fewer than last year and less again next.
You love your football side and thats great. However you have to respect the opinions of those who have greater experience in some things. I will give it 5 years and even you wont feel safe in this group as its members continue to fillup with psychopaths, and those looking for an avenue to deal out maximum punishment and violence to their fellow man...just because he is wearing a different shirt to you.
Just on your point of people being ejected from the Melbourne cup....sure there are drunks everywhere. But I cant remember the last time I saw superbly dressed Gai Waterhouse fans in their suits squaring off with Bart Cummings followers in the main streets of Melbourne, stabbing each other with the broken off stems of their champagne flutes....can you?

I don't know about Gai Waterhouse Stryker , but I reckon thousands of football fans were prepared to chase down Tom Waterhouse with some broken stubbies any given moment

There is mob mentality…..... and theres club support/enjoying a sporting contest.
Two very different things.
The former category attracts many that are not interested in the latter category

My username used to be my actual name so I changed it to this my nickname.
You Stryker make fair valid points. There is a minor percentage who are trouble-makers. A lot of the fans are young man and to think that we could have such a large percentage of young man and always make the right decision, we'd be leaving in a dreamland. Though to paint a whole supporter group with the same brush we do with the minor percentage is extremely unfair. The club is slowly weeding them out though away matches are not scrutinized so closely so that's probably why there was an incident or two.
You mentioned whether I would talk to these blokes if they weren't wearing the same colours as I? Well last night I spent New Years with 2 guys I haven't met before who went down to Melbourne last weekend and they were great guys. Easy to talk to, we all had a shout or three and discussed football, New Years resolutions, etc.
They filled me in on the situation which literally got thrusted upon them when the small number of victory fans turned up at the pub they were at. Crap was being hurled not too far from the families so of course the guys reacted. A few of the people who reacted were the fathers and brothers of the families that usually sit in the stands. It was a shame that it occurred but I'm glad they acted in the way they did as there were numerous young families who had to move out of harms way extremely quickly. Security let them out and then locked the doors behind them so no one could get in and police turned up 15 minutes later. This was all caused by a few stupid victory fans. It was not organised beforehand or anything. The victory club are having issues with their fan base and I can see why. Previously the RBB were sympathetic towards the active victory support group but that has probably changed now.
I'm not silly and realise organised groups like this are targets for crime gangs. I know of a few people who are very close to the core and believe that they would never let the situation get out of hand to that point. They were mates at school and they're still quite respectable people who make smart options. Some are now primary school teachers and lawyers in the making. They are this generations leaders and are people we can trust. I suspect there are some followers who have a criminal past or are commuting crimes. But guess what, having a sporting team you support is not a criminal act so it would be naive to think there aren't tigers fans (or any club for that matter) who aren't involved in the same activities. Criminals can support sporting sides too.
Ink; there is nothing wrong with marching and chanting through the streets in an organised manner. The police assist with traffic and we self-police with them the actions of the march. It's about being proud for the club and the area we come from. If you've seen a march, you would see over a thousand smiles. It's not a dangerous act with commuters fearing for their safety. They always seem to be on their smartphones taking photos and videos. There aren't affected too much from their daily lives and we continue through to the ground. It's a great part of match day.
It's like some people believe us (RBB, Wanderers supporters) to be a different breed of person. I don't think I've met any of you at a Tigers game, but I 100% know if I were to talk to youse for a while then introduce myself, you would be surprised of my maturity, my intelligence and easy going nature. We active Wanderers fans are no different to anyone else. We just enjoy chanting and singing as the side we love performs on the field. For one minute we turn around and chant and that is symbolizing that we're all united and no matter what's happened on the field, we'll stay united and continue to chant and support.
I don't cover my face and I'm not ashamed nor hide that I'm a member of the RBB. There are times I've put the scarf on my face though as flare smoke taste crap. I don't like them as I struggle to see a game afterwards and the aftertaste is crap too. Some people do cover their faces and while they can continue to do so, they'll probably do just that. The police and the Hatomato are making profiles of pretty much every Wanderers fans recording everything at the pub, the game and the march. There are profiles on children who aren't even in high school. That's just plain ridiculous and I wouldn't believe it unless our liaison didn't tell us. A couple of guys got added on Facebook by some strange profiles a couple of weeks ago and they believe it's undercover police officers. They said they were regulars and wanted to be in the group and stuff like that. It was all a bit weird until they realised it happened to a few of them and they put the dots together. They're paranoid and whether they have something to hide, I don't know. I don't like the fact they have a profile on me but accept that they do and hope it won't be used against me in anyway.
Today we have a game and I'm about to head to the pub and kickoff prematch drinks. Hopefully we get the win and start 2014 off in style. :slight_smile:
I think I covered most of it. It's hard on roarfeed haha

Because there's no mandate on this forum that says we can't discuss this, that's why it's in the general thread. I'm sure you've actively contributed to a non-league related topic before.
