Maybe it's just me, but the number of people attempting to crack jokes / find excuses and/or alternative explanations for labelling someone a terrorist speaks volumes for the systemic problem we have in this country with casual racism.

Always impressed with this little (or perhaps not so little ;) ) project Grimlock. Just wanted to congratulate you on a tidy little app. :)
To a point yes, but the whole point of the scoring system in Football allows for teams to use a variety of tactics to attempt to negate the opposition much more readily allowing for a multi-layered game. Sure the game is about scoring more than the opposition, but using that as a metric to why...
But that is the point, the reporting is completely disproportionate, and then people like yourself attempt to somehow link overseas incidents to the local game because it fits your arguments. It is unfair in the extreme.
What we need is fact, not hear say and rabid fan opinion. My guess is...
Just because someone is born here doesn't mean they can't feel a part of another culture (I know I feel similar to DH) and just the same as if someone is born overseas moves here can feel Australian.
It is all about identity and who are you to dictate how someone should feel about their own...
Hmmm.

It is interesting how ARF fans like to dismiss that which happens in their own patch I suppose and just point the fingers at others.
It is amazing what people in this forum attribute to a scoring system.
Maybe football should include a points system that gives people a point for having a good attempt on goal.
Considering that Foster is a 'no name' according to most here and certainly not worth listening to. He certainly has hit some sort of raw nerve somewhere.
So because it is an ARF based website, we should just accept that people using terms like 'kraut' etc as has been used in this thread to describe those of other cultures because they support Football, we should just accept it? Meh. I refuse to accept that.
And I 100% agree with you on...
I think you just need to take your ARF glasses off and view the newspapers through the eyes of Football fans in this country. Read those 'articles', if there are any about Football from the perspective of someone that supports Football first and others sports somewhere after that. You will...
Have we just been transported back 50+ years where racism and homophobia were rife? Or is this the sort of posting that is acceptable on a modern day forum?
