"We're here to watch the football..."

i dont throw beer round either im just saying i dont mind it. ive never heard racist remarks either just a bit or swaring but i havent seen anyone take offence to it. if i dident like swaring and it was going on i would simply move an astile over. there was 1 guy with a young kiddie in his bag and he dident care about the swareing and btw that litttle kid in the back pac was awsome i saw him steal a chip from a passer by, good on ya

haha - if its a cold night, some might rather hot coffee instead of coldish beer

i was sitting about 3 rows behind the people that the thread was started about, they were annoying and twats but at no stage did i hear anything racist. maybe 2 of them had shirts round there heads. they were getting in to it which doesnt bother me. im yet to see or read proof of the racist stuff

i am one of the "dickheads" or whatever at the front and would like to know exactly what racist chants we were saying because as far as i can recall not one racist word was said.

Come on guys.  If you dont want to yell and sing and dance dont sit in the fever zone.  Theres a whole other side of the stadium to sit in if you dont like it.  Its like going to a rock concert and standing front centre then complaining about getting squashed.  Or walking in front of the bank at the basin with a tie on back in the day and not expecting to be pelted with what ever was close to hand. 

Some of the language was rough considering there were kids around, yet at the same time it was quite funny as the situation at the time deserved it. I was in Aisle 21 and didn't hear any racist chants as such. Maybe the booing of Leo Bertos was over the top, what did he ever do to the Phoenix??

I've never heard anything resembling a racist chant in the Fever zone, and if I ever do I'll tell the muppets doing it to shut their traps.
Overall, I'd say that the behaviour in the YF zone is of a much higher standard than at many of the terraces in some European stadiums where I've spent some time in the past...many of the complaints here seem a bit overblown to me...

What, and get beer on it

I thought the booing of Bertos was a bit lame (heard it on the TV). 'Ricki Herberts Yellow Army' sounded awesome though!!

You didn't read my post properly ,i wasn't referring to any particular dick head you or otherwise, it was a generalization on dick heads  the world over and an observation that from my experience of being at football games over  many years that you will from time to time find people who will  act in a highly offensive  and inappropriate way ,im not talking about laughing at the stewards shouting at the ref or taking the piss out of the opposing players or each other for that matter  more the sinister and deeply sickening mob mentality relating to people of a different race /religion/sex.
Having said that i didn't hear any racial chants on Sunday either so  perhaps it is getting blown out of proportion and maybe the person who thought he heard the chants was mistaken,no harm in being vigilant though is there ?by all means" yell sing and dance"after all we have something very special here but lets make sure no one spoils it for the real fans!

i was another of those guys("dickheads") down the front of yellow fever and getting amongst it. yes we did say 2 the boy we don't like aston villa fair enuf aswell he enjoyed it and laughed and we all moved on. no way did he get abused. boltonc3pos2007-10-02 17:37:42

Mention of that rubbish movie is a banning...

WHAT IS EVERYONE ON ABOUT AH?

I was one of those f**kn idiots at the front of fever zone, we there to have a good time. If  for some people thats being out of control go to a game in europe then u will know what a real supporters stand feels like. Whats a bit of beer being spilt in the air gona hurt. Piss off and go 2 rugby match and clap when they score a try.

me and my mate were watchn the game a few seats away from these so called p crazed idiots and never heard any racist remarks...someone has had a shocker..in my opinion these guys are bloody good value and no how to enjoy the football.

my mate was also the guy who caught the ball up the front...what the hell are you on about it being stolen off a little kid..he caught it fairly so who ever said that is a muppet

all these allegations have been blown waaaay out of proportion so just get on and support the mighty nix

I have just re-read my comments, and I am shocked to admit that they are quite sensible.

haha i'm with you frankie. did you other guys all just sign up to YF in order to get that off your chest? being hard enough to stand in the rain (with 10,000 other people) is quite the feat lads. top notch. as for racism, i think we have established that maybe there was none going on, but even things like 'show us your passport' isn't really that funny. even for the white middle class guy like myself. would hate for the likes of daniel or fillipe (god bless  ) to hear that, as even though its not directed at them - there is no difference. Great win, great crowd, lets keep it all great. mob mentality will get us nowhere, unless of course it is a mob of 10,000 - then bring it on! NZgooner2007-10-02 19:59:25

yeah sadly enough, i think he was serious. boo!

Hooligans? No friggen way. I've been to a few matches on my traveks. Thats the good thing about the Phoenix, there's no away fans with any trouble and there's certainly no home fans causing any. I'm really enjoying meeting so many new people at these games. New friendships formed etc. Lonegunmen2007-10-02 20:42:12

green street is quality. u reckon whale riders better or sumthng?

Hey a few of my Rellies-in-law were in Whale Rider and I'm talking about actors not Whales! Lonegunmen2007-10-02 20:43:37

Oops. That noise was your credibility being lost.

Haha r u f**king kiding me i was 1 of the people in the front row most the chants in the game were stared there and above. wheres this buls*** of racist remarks cum from I did not here 1 and whearing t- shirts on there head it was f***ing cold if u wernt aware. If u dont lik it f***off and sit somewhere else where your coments will be appreciated (By yourself)

 

anyway.. keep it up everyone, eventually the fever is going to spread through-out the stadium. it is a matter of time! NZgooner2007-10-02 20:59:23

Enough of the b*tchin...no ball was stolen and no racist remarks were made. I was down the front and sober....i know none of the above happened. yeah a few beers were spilt here and there and few rude remarks were made.but nothing over the top at all. I think it is all good for kids to be down there. i remember been at the basin as a 12 year old and trying to join in with the bank on chants...thats what its all about!

I was down the front with the Idiots having a ball.Did feel a moment of remorse to the fellow sent afta seeing the replay but hay thats the ring of fire. The perth supporta shut up fast but  nowhere else in the world  could u do that in a fever zone and live let alone have a laugh. We were the only ones there when it was raining!!! and whats wrong with new chants.So a bit of Beer got spilt . So to the Idiots that made those stupid comments about us Don't sit in the stand under cover and sing how wonderful the Wgtn weather is STAND UP 4 THE POENIX 

perhaps shabba is a ref? I'm blind, Im deaf, I wanna be a ref

everone please get over it, we all support the same team so lets just get along, i dont think there is any racism, or any thing too malicious, so lets just all get along!!

Warning.  No need for this rubbish.  Show some respect.

I missed out on the audition, said I was too large for the Whale roles.

Closed too much stupid.
