No, not really, although I hoped after last year's Eddie banana incident that people might now be reluctant to go down the race taunt path, and publicly declare their neanderthal f_ckstickness in the process, or at least keep it under wraps until they got home.

its not a ******* contest. they are all dickheads.

The report does mention other crows supporters calling him out on it, at which point he legged it, so I think thats a good thing.

Latest report on the news just then was that it is definitely a Crows supporter

And racial abuse is a very different level to a bit of biff on the hill

Does make me feel sorry for them a bit.

Probably a lesson for all of us - we might think we are just talking to a few friends on FB (or on here) but if you say something stupid there is every chance you will pay for it.

I'm not sure you can compare racial abuse and physical violence both are very dangerous, geez people are dying so often from king hit (brawls) these days it's not funny

Whilst their comments were disgusting, I think we need to stop the hatred towards them.
They are both clearly uneducated and I know one of them is from a very disadvantaged background.

They made a poor choice but they shouldn't have to live in fear of their lives.

A part of me feels sorry for them both.

This is what I was referring to

Lesson learned is all supporters of all clubs unfortunately have a feral element and that no one team has 'better' supporters than others.

the brawl was pretty funny. was clear nobody was seriously hurt. not to be condoned, but whatever, it happens.

the racial stuff is definitely worse.
