Agree standard is going backwards

To many teams diluting the talent, to many hacks getting to be a recycled at four different clubs before retiring

United have spoken to him and with Mahtmour parting company with the club it frees up some $$.

Did you see the footage on the hill at the cricket? Not too many outrage merchants up in arms over that either is there.

Cricket got rowdy, barely anything unit. The soccer someone got booted in the head and a glass bottle narrowly missed an innocent bystanders head

Not that I’m trying to support Booney

In the streets is a much bigger issue than in the ground. The cops scour the entire area and surrounding suburbs at soccer games here.

Not denying there's incidents at all sporting events when it comes to drunk idiots punching on.

Surely though you can see the difference between a couple of pissed idiots on the hill boxing on from a pack of wanna be street thugs strutting along looking for a fight to start the night?

One of the lads at work here is right into his zipped up anorak / adidas hat combo and the manner in which these idiots organize pre drink sessions in or around venues that are known to be the preferred destination of visiting supporters is ridiculous. They go looking for fights, no other way of describing it, they hunt in packs and look for fights. He'll happily tell me who of the visiting teams has the "toughest crews" like it's a badge of honor.

Its depends on the club, Central Coast never have issues.
The cops are mainly out in bigger numbers for the Victory and Wanderers games here.
As of next home game I get to serve these people at the bar, are you jealous of me Booney? :P
Luckily my first home game is CCM, I've been to a couple of Mariners games here and there's never been an issue.

Because mariners don't bring many fans?

Perth guys have been targeted a few times a couple of years back, we even got held in the stadium once

One game there was just me and my son but it was a Tuesday night, was embarrassing when the team came out and came over and applauded us in the away bay. :lol:
About half a dozen rocked up later.
Usually get about 15-20 to a game here. :lol:
Mariners fans don't create trouble anywhere though including home, they're more the "traditional" sort of aussie sports fans not the type who roam. The streets looking for fights.

Was outside Hindmarsh after an Adel v Victory game several years ago and watched both sets of supporters go at it. None of them knew how to fight and none of them wold have gone for it had they not been part of a wannabe gang.

Pretty much the Red lined up on one side, the Blue on the other, and they'd run at each other, throw a punch whilst running, then keep running lol .. Me and my mates finishing off our froff's found it pretty funny.
