Three Collingwood fans charged over alleged bashing

[ant22]

And that is comparable to DRUNK DRIVING, LEAVING THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT, LYING TO YOUR CLUB PRESIDENT, BEING IN THE SAME VEHICLE AS A MAN FIRING AN ILLEGAL WEAPON, ASSULT how?

Please, explain how. Break it down.

If I remember correctly Fev lied to just about everyone with his initial account of events in ireland, Id be staggered if none of your players have drunk and driven in the past. Are you seriously telling me your players have never been involved in assult. The point is people in glass houses should not throw stones.

Not sure any of it is relevant as I have no idea what what all this has to do with the 3 thugs who did this. Actually I have just figured it out, any opportunity for you to turn this into a collingwood bashing thread. Any niave w***er......

 

[mark73]

The PS GF and now this. Really making a name for themselves.

Making a name for themselves? Where have you been?

In any case, this is hardly surprising coming from a supporter base that is known for it's noted ****wits.

And if people see 1 guy getting beaten up by 3 or 4 toothless morons, why just stand and watch? Get in and help.The guy, who is obviously a father, could've ended up with life threatening injuries while people stood around saying "Gee, look at that!"

 

[TGR]

As much as I'd love to stick the boots in ( no pun intended ) with the ol' typical Collingwood ferals line. This is a pretty extreme example of violence at the footy and not a common occurence. It's unfair to lay the blame of this at the culture of any supporter group. There is no precident for this.

 

[JerryWexler]

I bet ya if the guy had another 2 or 3 guys with him these w@nks wouldnt have done crap.

A long time ago they would have but this is the age of the gutless thug. Where they think it's tough to hang out in groups or gangs deep down knowing they do it because they haven't the guts to handle things on their own. They know the truth about themselves inside, and won't pick a fight unless they're armed or it's 5 or 6 to 1.

 

[Ron The Bear]

was at the game and eft just before the siren with my dad...

From this account it doesn't sound like the incident had anything to do with football, other than it happened at a footy ground.

 

[chrisjie]

Collingwood fans are just more feral than most. And ask anyone who has been to a Collingwood game. Their fans are more abusive, violent and always try to start fights.

Sure, every club has bad fans. But Collingwood have ALOT more than any other club.

Would it have even been reported if Nathan Jones' dad wasn't involved?

 

[Sausage roll]

How is that 'typical'?

99.99% of Collingwood supporters would be disgusted by that incident.

Disgraceful call by you. You should be ashamed.

Well, can you remeber the NAB cup GF crowd brawl and again Collingwood supporters going nuts, elbowing ploice in the head?? Remember , it was only three weeks ago?

I have seen a fight the last three times we have played Collingwood.


I have always thought they need more security on the concourse after a game.

 

[erical]

Lets not turn this into a collingwood fan bashing thread, there are idiots everywhere

All wearing black and white stripes.

 

[erical]

Would it have even been reported if Nathan Jones' dad wasn't involved?

Probably not.
Looks like the cowardly thugs picked on the wrong bloke.
I am sure they wil be named and shamed in the media through out the week.

 

[richskee]

IMHO this gutter trash has shown that they have no respect for life or well being. They have proven this by bashing a defenseless father in front of his son. These are the rats that stain our society, hanging in packs, living at stations.

Ive seen it all with these sh1t stains, just because they f*cked up their life they choose to take it out on everyone else. They mope around half pissed raging on ice pipes and amphetamines looking for trouble. They think they've had the rough end of the stick there whole life, so why bother getting a job? or going to school?

These guys are f*ck ups, plain and simple and it's the soul reason i don't even bother going for a drink in the city anymore. RATS!

 

[SolidTiger]

If any of these guys are Collingwood members then the club should find out who these people are and strip them of their memebership and ban them from the club for ever. The MCG should also see what it can do in order to prevent these thugs from setting foot inside the MCG again.

99.99% of Collingwood supporters would be disgusted by that incident.

Disgraceful call by you. You should be ashamed.

Interesting how everybody agrees that the actions of these thugs are not a representation of a Collingwood supporter (or anyother club for that matter) and the majority of Collingwood supporters are disgusted by these guys.

But when some idiot Richmond supporter who dump chicken crap at Punt Rd or spits on the coach (both actions the majority of Richmond supporters are disgusted with.) they are the actions of the 'typical' Richmond supporter.

 

[lihei]

Collingwood will do nothing about this.

they will say it is a police matter.

Crownie, you are an idiot. Why the fu*k should the club be responsible for idiots like this??? Are clubs to be held responsible for actions of its supporters outside of its control? If anything, the AFL or MCC trust should be held responsible for lack of security/police control after match.

Have another Crownie

 

[Thommo 42]

Mark Latham is a Collingwood supporter, and the club isn't responsibile for his idiocy either!

Nor should the Lions be held responsbile for Kevin Rudd driving an entire country into the dirt!

Very nicely encapsulated.

 

[Learning to Kick Straight]

This isn't about Collingwood supporters vs other afl club supporters this is about gutless thugs vs society. After reading the comments in this thread by Adrian1 if all accounts stated are true, I hope these thugs get jail terms for their unprovoked physical attack.

I hope that Adrian1, his dad and all other witnesses will make statements to the police if they haven't done so and the courts will do its job this time.

The sooner we start locking up these sort of gutless bastards who believe they have the right to bash anyone for their pleasure, the sooner we can start claiming back society for the good and decent people of this world.

Well said. I agree entirely.

 

[the_fresh]

They are not Typical Collingwood supporters they are low lifes who should get a life ban from all Collingwood games and events at the MCG.

Every club has them, Collingwood somehow got the wrap as being the only one tho.

 

[GhostofJimJess]

I think they make teams play in stadiums with no crowd entry, ... Do you see the AFL doing that to Collingwood? As awesomeas it would be... Actually it would be great, but yeah.

Stupid idea.

While Collingwood supporters are otherwise occupied for just a few hours every week, for 22 weeks of the year (and the occasional Finals game as a bonus), the crime rate in and around Melbourne plummets dramatically.

You can even leave your lock off your bike for just a couple of hours without fear of it being stolen.

Your crackpot scheme will jeopardise this brief weekly respite for all of us.

 

[JohnD]

Collingwood will do nothing about this.

they will say it is a police matter.

I'm awaiting Collingwood's inevitable statement that the club has thoroughly investigated the incident and found it to be a case of self-defence.

I agree 100% but I would bet anything that won't happen. You only have to see the sentences(or lack of) handed out to know how justice is served here.

I must say that these sorts of incidents really sicken me. A father gets bashed in front of his son, how low can you get. These "supporters" in getting a cheap thrill for their cowardly attack have disgraced themselves, their club and the game overall. Absolutely pathetic!

 

[Smoky]

Should we take out an Injunction?

For what its worth... If you king hit someone in a pub - you get barred.

3 people bashing someone unprovoked (allegedly) in front of his 14 year old son is a crime beyond belief.

The AFL should ban these 3 thugs from all AFL games for life (for bringing its game into disrepute.

After Collingwood has gone through the process of getting rid of any trouble makers in its cheersquad - these thugs should be banned for life from Collingwood memberships and any Collingwood functions ever.

There is only one way these things can be stopped at AFL games and that is to make true examples of these idiots.

NO CLUB has ever taken this stance (spitting, bashings etc) I would be glad to hear Collingwood be the first.

Remember that idiot that ran into the net on at the G at Australia's qualifyer for the world cup - did he get banned for life? i know it wasn't much later he ran on the main straight of the Melb (or Caulfield) cup - Im sure they took the same stance... its about time the AFL took control and if they dont I hope Collingwood will set the example that is bleedingly obvious needs to happen.

Has definitely been warned off all racetracks. Like Simon Beasley.

 

[Eagle1/Syd]

thats just shit and they should be charged, but this sort of behaviour is not confined to colligwood only

 

[Badesumofu]

They should definitely be banned from all AFL matches for life. I think Collingwood should revoke their memberships (if they have them) ban them from being Collingwood members for life, and issue a statement to say that this is totally unaceptable, and say that to anyone who thinks this sort of thing is okay, that they don't want those people as fans. I sure as hell wouldn't want anyone who behaved like that barraking for the Hawks, let alone, behaving like that while in Hawks colours! It's sort of like how schools punish kids who smoke in public while wearing their school uniform - it reflects badly on the institution when someone wearing its colours/uniform/logo behaves badly in public.

Hopefully these scumbags will spend some time in jail as well.

Do Collingwood have a higher proportion of feral fans than other clubs? Probably. Does this incident reflect badly on Collingwood? Definitely. That doesn't mean we should tar the entire support base with that brush. I think Collingwood do have some culture problems, though. The fact that Didak still plays for them sends a bit of a message that perhaps they condone bad behaviour.

To the guy who was trying to say that there's a trend at Carlton - you're a bit confused mate. That was all one guy. That's a trend, sure, but it's not a trend of Carlton people misbehaving, it's a trend of Brendan Fevola misbehaving. Collingwood have problems with multiple supporters, players, the cheer squad - it's not comparable to Fev's behaviour.

To the guy who mentioned Muslims and 'African Americans' - this is Australia. Black Australians aren't called 'African Americans'. What a silly comment. As for Muslims, there actually is a trend there, Muslims are far more likely, on average, to be violent than the general population. Terrorists are far more likely to be Muslim than any other creed as well. Of course that doesn't mean all Muslims are violent killers, but to deny that there's a trend because of political correctness is just - unfactual.

That raises the issue of cause and effect. Is there something in the religion of Islam that makes its adherents more likely to be terrorists? Yes. If you read the Koran, take a look at Sha'ria Law - well it's not very pleasant. So if there is a similar trend with Collingwood people (and it's not at all clear that there is, there's a hell of a lot of anecdotal evidence here, and precious little in the way of statistics and hard facts) then we have to ask why? Is there something in the culture of Collingwood, the structure, that makes Collingwood people more likely to be violent? And, if so, how can we fix it?
