Roast Media Shakes Head, Part 7

[LFC2010]

It's got the BBC talking (not to Eddie McGuire though it seems)...

"We just don't like you."

"You're not our type of people."

Imagine being quarantined with your arch enemy. It sounds far from appealing, right?

Yet in a luxury hotel on Australia's Gold Coast, it's an unfortunate reality for two Australian rules football clubs - for at least the next seven weeks.

Port Adelaide, who are known as the Magpies, and Adelaide, who are nicknamed the Crows, have been booked into the same resort as Australian Football League (AFL) teams go into lockdown in a bio-secure "hub" in preparation for the new season.

Travel and quarantine restrictions prevent them from isolating in their own state, so both will head north for their closed training camps.

The sides - the AFL's two clubs from South Australia - are known for their ill-tempered contests both on and off the field of play, famously brawling outside a hotel the morning after a match in 2002.

So, is housing such bitter rivals together the wisest decision?

AFL rivals to share quarantine hotel

Bitter rivals Port Adelaide and Adelaide will share a hotel as Australian rules football teams go into quarantine before the new season.

Imagine placing Liverpool and Everton in the same hotel in Perth!!!

Streaker in '82 grand final was memorable.

Helen D'Amico LOL!

They wouldn't care.

Rangers and Celtic on the other hand!!

Millwall and West Ham.

 

[chiwigi]

Millwall and West Ham.

West Ham wouldn’t last 5 minutes .

West Ham wouldn’t last 5 minutes .

Yeah, their fans are all East End Hipsters now.

I see that Robbo has an article in the Murdoch press Asking if the AFL is inherently Victorian Bias. Without being able to read it I assume it goes one of 2 ways, either flat out rejecting it or acknowledging it but then justifying it. Foe anybody with access can they confirm?

Keith Thomas asked Robbo the question; Robbo did not even have the etiquette to call him ‘Mr. Thomas’.

VICTORIAN BIAS
Thomas: How long will it take the AFL to move beyond its present state of being a Victorian-centric competition to a truly national competition?

Robbo: Don’t listen to the propaganda from non-Victorian people because the AFL has been a truly national competition for several decades. The issue is, and it’s a fact, there are 10 teams in Victoria and two grounds plus Geelong’s home ground. That means plenty of football being played in Victoria. The MCG Grand Final agreement is an issue that deserves to be discussed, but all clubs benefited financially from that arrangement. Thomas, the best team generally wins the Grand Final anyhow.

Yep, they'd be blowing bubbles while Millwall were polishing their knuckledusters.

IIRC did Millwall fans wear surgical masks once? Maybe they were always ahead of themselves.

Surgical masks, or Hannibal Lecter?

Ah found it

Millwall: Once or twice a season the old violent myth takes hold

This Wembley punch-up did not mark the return of 1970s hooliganism

www.independent.co.uk

"Panorama exposé of Millwall’s infamous hooligan culture four decades ago – a distant world when, for the cameras at least, Millwall’s lunatic fringe supposedly dressed up in surgical gear before going on the rampage."

Lol I can believe Tom Browne would do this.



Channel 7 reporter Tom Browne has been forced to address speculation he created a burner Twitter account to defend himself against social media criticism.
A Twitter account using the name ‘Jimmy Jones’ was created this month, with nearly all tweets from the account either congratulating Browne for his reporting or defending him from detractors.

The account gained notoriety in recent days, with many accusing Browne of setting up and operating the account himself, leading to the reporter being asked directly on radio this morning to address the claims.

First thing I thought when I saw those Jimmy Jones tweets popping up a few days ago

Whatever you might think of them, "**** you, I'm Millwall!" is a pretty awesome legacy for a football club.

Oh Gilbo, why?

Former AFL star Gilbert McAdam is reportedly being investigated over an alleged assault.
The Herald Sun is reporting the 53-year-old was arrested after a woman was allegedly assaulted at a St Kilda home around 10:15PM.

McAdam is reportedly yet to be charged by police, but authorities confirmed to foxfooty.com.au an investigation is ongoing.
