Mega Thread The Goodes, Eddie and Racism Megathread - media release post #845 Buckley interview post #1072

[Quicky]

I thought I'd fire this one up.

It's still to be confirmed but it seems pretty likely that Goodes was racially abused by a Collingwood supporter in the last quarter. Goodes got upset and pointed her out to security. Security came down, members of the crowd pointed the woman out and security escorted her out of the ground.The woman looked pretty upset on the verge of crying (not angry) as she was escorted from the ground. As upset as she was Goodes looked pretty shattered after the game.

I can only hope it isn't the case but personally I doubt it. Totally unacceptable behaviour if true!

 

[Raymond Rougeau]

We dont need fans like this if its true as reported piss off and good ridance

Aha they just showed it again. She threw her coat at her mother/grandmother.

Protected he gets the best umpiring all the time that 4th quarter free was a joke

 

[Jedi01]

Would top of a shit night if true

 

[The Royal Sampler]

If true she should be fired from a large cannon into the Sun. Particularly concerning that the alleged perpetrator was a teenage girl. She shouldn't be growing up with that shit in her head.

 

[tazzawazza]

Nice to see Eddie going into the Sydney rooms to sort everything out.

This thread isn't about umpiring. This one might be more appropriate for umpiring discussion.

 

[glasseye]

looks like she's in for a very bad night - brain snap. Goodes was a star tonight , sorry he had to hear it

 

[hellfire]

Based on what triple M were saying about Goodes' reaction post match... there was definitely a racial slur. Name and shame tje scum bag and ban her for life. **** off you little bitch you're a disgrace to the club and I'm ashamed to have anything in common with you. It's bad enough normally, but this weekend is about respect for indigenous players. I hope she never attends a match again.

Absolutely pathetic if true. We want to keep our game clean.

 

[jimmy35]

Not a good look at all. And the racist fan should be ashamed of herself as well.

 

[MUYB]

The one good thing about this is Eddie and your club has prior form on taking a very strong stance against racism by fans, so here's to hoping the ****wit gets her membership revoked forever.

 

[Mobbsy]

well played Sydney, well played Goodes, well played Eddie

 

[shizzle]

I find this sort of thing disgusting, the bloke had a sensational game so some halfwit decides to throw out a racist taunt, this round is supposed to be celebrating and recognizing the past and current indigenous players, not denigrating them.

 

[the mighty T]

No room for that bs in the game.. more disappointing than the performance on field

 

[hyperfuzz]

Adam Goodes is found in a foetal position after a female bogan Collingwood supporter apparently racially abused him.

Adam Goodes is one of my fav AFL players, but c'mon, I saw the footage Adam. Really!

You're a disgrace if you're trying to downplay what happened.

 

[PepperFace]

I can sulk and be pi$$ed off at a 10 goal thumping. But I will get over it.....racism is something I wont get over. The b!tch can go to hell... how is this still happening in society? Im ashamed

 

[tazzawazza]

A racism advertise that has Goodes in it is broadcasting now, what a coincidence!

 

[the lion king]

Big thumbs up to your President for seeking out Goodes so quickly in the Swans rooms to discuss it. Very classy move.

 

[ash84]

ban her from the game.

I imagine you are white. I presume that based on the stupid comment above. Only a white person could disregard a racial slur as meaningless and in jest.

 

[Shupe]

Just popped in to say kudos to Eddie for his actions post game

 

[RuFiO]

You're a disgrace if you're trying to downplay what happened.

He can't help it. He has rose coloured glasses on.

 

[Tigertrain9]

Well done Eddie, that was handled with class. The girl looked about 15, I hope the Pies handle this themselves and the media don't build it up too much. Could ruin that stupid girl's life. Again, very nice work Eddie
