Racist incident.

Postby sub007 Wed Dec 26, 2018 11:22 pm

Roly Bonevacia tweeted that he was racially abused by some AUFC fans tonight. Disgusting if the allegations are true and I hope the abusers recieve lengthy bans.

Commentators mentioned there was an interaction between roly and a fan. Can’t let ourselves become like the Afl with their crowd issues. Stamp on it hard and send a message.

Kick them the hell out of our club.
I hope whoever was sitting nearby let them have it, too.

Sadly it’s not uncommon to hear in the stands, I try and call it out when I see it but you have to make a choice sometimes about your own safety in the moment. I miss the advertisement of a text line you alert security of an issue.

One of the biggest issues in football is getting better at understanding more about how our language, chants and behaviour isn’t just okay because we have always done it or it’s a “joke”. It makes me sad when I hear the “she fell over” chant or seeing fans signing about Berisha living in a caravan and not understanding the problem with those sentiments. Even on this forum there is language that I think isn’t meant with Ill intent but describing someone “going down like a cheap
Thai hooker” is tied to a very racist stereotype and is something we can be better at as fans.

Totally. The Berisha 'gypsy' stuff is disgusting. Haven't heard any other racism in the stands that I can think of though.
Definitely sexist & homophobic stuff however.

Needs to be investigated and we need to ensure any person responsible does not walk in the stadium again it really is unacceptable.

I may get flamed for this but i felt the tweet was also dissapointing.

Dropping the R bomb and laying it over all aufc fans at the game is problematic and solves nothing.

I will totally take that back if i find out there were rascist chants from the north end like what you can expact in particular matches in turkey or israel but im assuming it was just one or two guys.

I just cringe everytime the kangaroo court known as twitter is the Medium used by media to drum up a story based on an apex fallacy. Perhaps there is no structured pathway for players to file complaints.

I agree, Branding the entire club's fan base as being racist is wrong and unfair. Call out the individual/s , not all AUFC fans.

Yes totally agree , although i really have not heard much racism at games apart from towards Berisha.

The “kevin muscats a pedo “chant really crosses a line for me, im not sure if its still sung but it was always in poor taste.

Roly is absolutely right to call out racism publicly. Even if it's just one dickhead it reflects on all of us, and it's better to bring it to light so we can take a stand against it.

Berisha's a gypsy, Muscat's a pedo, referee's a homo, 'she fell over', 'beer tits & football' ... leave all that shit in the bad old days.

sorry I'll get off my soapbox now :soapbox:

So rascist adelaide fans is now a solitary individual who made the slur in dutch.

This guy still needs to be found and given a life ban.

Cant say i support rolys tweet painting all aufc fans as racist and didnt even mention the slur was spoken it dutch which would indicate why fans did not self police.

Dissapointing story on all accounts.

Yeah I guess hearing something like that in Dutch narrows down who could have said it I feel. But I think its fair to be a little less sensitive to the exact wording of Roly's tweet considering he's the victim in all this. Obviously he's just come off the pitch with that incident and the game fresh in his mind. He may have been dealing with racism abuse for large parts of his life.
