If I was in my Pies gear as a 'normal' fan and someone got right up in my face as I walked to the train/car and shouted "Go Blues" at me after a loss I'd do exactly the same thing.

I understand your point of view. But please understand mine.
What I'm drawing attention to is the contradiction in values that people are holding simultaneously on this Anzac weekend - a reverence to all things Anzac (including their larrikinism) and a condemnation of two present day larrikins in Adelaide.
To put it another way: Imagine two Anzac diggers on leave in London during WWI. They are walking down Pall Mall in London giving cheek to passing poms. They look ahead and see the commander of British forces General Haigh approaching them. The Aussies go close up to him and shout, "How'd the win on the Somme go, Haighy!" The general physically attacks them.
Who does one support? Depends on your values, but you can't support Haigh without also supporting Clarkson. And you can't support the Anzac diggers without supporting the blokes in Adelaide. |
No, General HAIG would have motioned to the military police behind him and the two dickheads would have been up on a charge. Then the two dickhead's CO would have thrown the book at them. Acting like a stupid disrespectful self centred idiot in any time was not okay. I think Clarkson is really not much better than the bogan who harrassed him. He is a senior AFL Coach and ought to show more self control than he did. Its bogans on parade where ever you look in this incident.

Oh give me a break for faarks sake. There is no comparison here to Anzac and no contradiction in values. What a stupid thing to say. If there is a Larakin in the story it's Clarko. I wouldn't put up with a moron like that in my face. Especially after doing it for 50 metres and he'd been told three times to FO. Anyone dumb enough to poke the bear when you know he's got a short fuse is very f@ckin dumb

at the end of the day, I don't think clarko is used too losing, and cant handle a bit of stirring after a loss. Let us hope he has to get more and more used to losing as his piss and poo mob age and retire champion players. LOL

There's a difference between being subjected to stirring (or banter) and being accosted, annoyed and provoked by loud mouthed, loose pissed up bogans who without the assistance of liquid courage would slink back to their worthless existences as the nothings and nobodies they are.
I'm with Clarko. There's enough dickheads in society, and all he did was put one back in his place. Well played. |

The tool got what he deserved and it wasn't much at all.
Honestly the way everything is blown out of proportion these days by this 24/7 media is ridiculous.
People don't have the right to act in that way and get in peoples faces yelling and making contact just because someone is a public figure. |
Really couldn't be bothered commenting so Swoops will do.
Whole things a joke, no afl footballer, coach etc will want anything to do with the public.

I think the real issue is Clarksons mental state. He's a repeat offender and needs some serious help.

Not sure why this has to be so black and white. People handle things differently. Clarko was slightly aggressive in getting his message across while some would've peed their pants and just hoped he'd go away. It's obvious this drunken yobbo didn't want to listen to simple requests to back off so there are no other options. I'd have sympathy for both reactions.
Ok, sorry, I'd probably laugh at the peeing of pants

No, Clarkson did not act as a larrikin. He was violent assailant and larrikinism is not violent. It can be outrageous yes, but not violent.
Now if you've got any reasoned argument to put to refute my postulation say so, but I think you are being more emotionally reactive than rational. |

Keep drawing on that long bow you dill. Comparing a couple of drunk f'wits from Adelaide to our ANZACs is sacrilege.
Hiss would be turning in his grave if he was dead.

So let me get this right, according to a lot of posts here, next time i'm at the footy and the guy behind me is leaning forward into my space cheering on his team to get a rise out of opposition fans and yelling in my ear I have every right to turn and hit (bullshit to the shove notion) him in the throat?
Poor form from both parties IMO.

As much as I cant stand Clarko, I think the AFL should have supplied better security here, coaches shouldn't be put in this position. Gillion will be off to the solarium this morning with concern on his brow.

Seriously?
Wow I guess all those AFL one punch hero adverts are really getting through. Um, you do get it says not to smack someone in the face?
