On another note, they reckon Lily Allen was singing that song about George Bush.

Maybe it's not him after all :D

Yeah cause charging them $1000 was really going to make a difference, just a way to gouge the supporter base not to actually change their behavior.

I might be in the minority but any supporter from any club that just yells out crap about players deserves to be told to shut up. I dont care if they are wearing black and white or red black and white. Seriously just watch the game and try following your own side instead of worrying about the other friggin side.

They attract a higher class of idiot in their cheersquad now...

...anyways, storm in a teacup. A few days ago it was some ugg inviting Chappy to jump his missus, now it's some brainless oxygen thief yelling out distasteful comments...so what? There are idiots in every supporter base, and most of us want to give 'em a slap, doesn't mean we're entitled to.

Agree with this, but that is not the point here...

It's about Eddie being the self appointed Moral Police and making an example of a Saints supporter, unfarily, and not being held accountable for his mistakes and arrogance....

Let alone the hypocrisy...

I dont give a stuff about Eddie. He is a friggin president of another club. I am just stating how I feel. As far as Eddie is concerned he can do what he likes.

Incorrectly label an opposition supporter a racist, and have it splashed on front page media??...

He made himself a hero at a strangers expense, who could have been you or me...

And I know you will reply it couldnt ever be you, as you dont direct anything at oppostion players, but I'm sure at some stage a friend or family member of yours would have given a bit of lip to an opposition player at a game... Would you appreciate them being labelled recist for such an offence??

I have yelled out at plenty of opposition players as have my mates but nothing personal so you are right, it wouldnt be me. Eddie said it had racial overtones or could have ended up racist. He never said the guy said a racist remark. Anyway the guy hasnt been picked up by the media so i dont think it would worry him. If Eddie makes a fool of himself why would I care. He isnt our president. I wish he was though.

Oh, so Ed said it has racial overtones...
"He got a get out of jail free card" referring to not having a free kick called against him.
"Kick him whilst his down Sam, you know he'd do it to you."

Seems to me Ed was the one with racism on his mind...

The way I read what I saw during that game was this scenario:

Some bloke giving it to Eddie. Him saying "mate we've won 1 premiership, this year it'll be two!" Eddies media monkeys have then said "we can turn this into something more than you looking like you were having a hissy-fit with a spectator (because at that stage the Saints were giving the Pies a run for their money, and Eddie was looking pi$$ed)

That's my conspiracy theory, and I'm sticking with it! :P

I reckon no one really saw Ricky Nixons fall coming either.

Things usually catch up with people like Ed.

Always does.

I saw the bloke up close during draft week when the big wigs came up.

Full of piss, picking fights at the Royal Pines, throwing his (substantial) weight around, behaving like an absolute goose simply because a) he feels he can without consequence and b) because my three year old is more mature.

I hear the word flog thrown about on here a fair bit. IMO that word should be reserved for one bloke and one bloke alone - Fat Ed.

Came across on TV as a bit of a tool. Not a good look for the President of the “World's Greatest Sporting Clubâ€

Which AFL Club is affiliated with Port Melbourne?
Who was the bloke who actually racially vilified Majak Daw?
Why is nobody in the media identifying that idiot?
Why are the media spending so much time on Eddie's justification over this?

Are they all maybe linked?

I know the person pretty well and he is not a brainless oxygen thief. Yes his comments weren't great but he genuinly believes the krakour should not be playing football. He handled himself well. Never swore. never left his seat and pretty much politely pointed out to eddie that he was a hypocrute while eddie was going absolutely nuts.

What krakour did is not only a blight on football but a blight on society. He bashed a guy. the guy got a way and then he chased him down bashed him again and proceeded to kick him to within an inch of his life. Is this the sort of person we want our kids looking up to. Is this the sort of person that should be referred to as an inspirtation.

Eddie calling him a racist is a disgrace as he had no interest in krakour's race. Just in the fact that he is a disgraceful human being

Krak turned things around magnificently after serving time (productively) for his sin.

Your mate needs to pick a better target.

Swan's thuggery for instance. You know, the incident for which he refused to pay his damages bill.

Now there's a farkin peckerhead who deserves a whack...

Pretty sure he has turned around his life as well. Everyone deserves a second chance and maybe even three but after that it is a bit much. I certainly wouldnt be thinking either of them shoudnt play footy again. We would be a sad society if we just banned people from sport because of one stupid act.

Did he really turn it things around.
Thats pretty good of him.
How do you reck the bloke who was the victim feels about that.

Do we remember Luke Adams last year the kid who got bashed at hungry jacks

We were all told by the AFL this was a disgrace and that we should feel sorry for him

Seems to me apparently we should just feel sorry for footballers because there life is so tough
