LOVE ALL
Innovative local fans have discovered a way to make tennis interesting.
UPDATE. Croatian fans tell of tennis violence:
Marina, 19, Danijela, 19, Ivana, 17, Kristina, 16 and Marija, 20, all from Melbourne, who did not wish to use their last names, said they were watching Croatian star Mario Ancic on court three with other supporters when they heard a Serbian crowd outside chanting abuse at them.
They said the majority of the Croatian group they were with ran outside to confront the Serbian fans.
“They all went outside the court, it started with just abusing each other verbally and then it got into an actual fight,’’ Marina said.
The same gals complain of Croatian profiling:
“I do (think it’s discrimination) with the cops because they tend to just stick with us and they did random bag searches and body searches in the actual arena.
“They checked all our bags, made all the guys pull up their shirts.’‘
Police did not check non-Croatian supporters in the same way, they said.
“No, it was just us, it was just the Croatians and everyone else that was there (in show court three) didn’t get their bags checked like us.’‘
Just a guess, but there might be a connection between those bag searches and the willingness of certain fans to rush outside and commence brawling at the first opportunity.
Multi-Culturalism - I came for the food, but stayed for the feud.

I must have missed something. Aren’t they Australian? If they had have been overseas fighting in the Balkans War and been captured the headline would read “Aussie captured in Srebrenica” or some such thing in the same way that ‘Aussies’ were caught up in Lebanon.
Just give them a good flogging and tell them to fut the shuck up, I say.

Posted by Infidel Tiger on 2007 01 15 at 03:33 AM • permalinkAh yes, the wogs can beat the absolute crap out of each other but that is ok because this is from the old country and where they cant get over their racial/ cultural / blood fueds and have to bring it here…...at the tennis of all places. I thought violent outbursts went out with McEnroe.
Here is the thing, this is Australia and I am sure all these people involved are Australians, and although there is nothing wrong with identifying with your original heritage this is Australia and we do not want anything to do with your cultural troubles brought here.
If you want to fight, go back to where your forefathers came from and fight there, otherwise sit down, shut up or fuck off.
And when was it supposed to be that sporting events were cut up into their day and our day. It is for everyone on any day they want to go and watch whatever it is they want to watch.

When a Serb accidently chose the full flush option at the Rob Laver Arena mens room there was nothing left to say- it was war.
Or possibly the other way round
Posted by eeniemeenie on 2007 01 15 at 05:05 AM • permalinkFollowing star watchers who abbreviate famous couples to Tomkat and Brangalina, I hearby abbreviate “Serbs and Croats” in stories such as the above to “Scrotes”.
Eg., “The
Serbian and Croatian groupsScrotes apparently had an understanding that today would be the Croatians’ day to attend the tennis, and the Serbians would attend tomorrow.”Shortening “Serbian and Croatian groups” to Scrotes would also save the environment due to less paper used to write “Serbian and Croatian groups” over and over again.
I’m sure I’m not the first to think of this, but it’s my contribution to multiculturalism in Australia and am quite proud I thought it up all by myself…
Serbs and Croats at each others throats.
Yawn.
So tell me something I wasn’t expecting.
Posted by Stop Continental Drift! on 2007 01 15 at 05:21 AM • permalinkYes, I remember as a kid ball-boying at Manly’s Seaside Championships for the likes of Laver and Court and having to witness the abuse of the tennis-mad Muslims in the crowd at Margaret Court’s short tennis skirt and her uncovered hair, the exploding Eskys of the Manly branch of Fatah, the traditional barney between the local Greek, Cypriot and Italian deli proprietors wielding monstrous salamis and buckets of hommus. Falafel and baklava were always thrown at the player just about to serve his/her second serve. We ball-boys seldom went hungry. Visiting reps of ETA barracking for the great Spanish players would occasionally chime in with a little something to brighten things up so that parts of the ladies catering crew would descend from the skies on the cricketers at the adjacent oval.
Nothing new here!!
#22 I’m with you. Everyone knows you keep the scrotes separate. I learned that at school.
Serbs hate Croats and vice versa, the Lebs were bad news and we all knew to stay away from the Turks since they carried knives and would use them at the drop of a hat.
Oh, and the Slovenians were okay.
And I went to a near 100% skippy school out in the western suburbs.

My sister the rabid greenie bought me a goat via oxfam for Christmas and I’d sincerely like to return the favour and make a donation in her name to some genuinely worthwhile cause. I’m desperately looking for one that would drive the average greenie batshit.
The Liberal party is a bit obvious and, beneath her fascist exterior she does have a sense of humour. Any suggestions?

Gibbo @ #28:
I’m desperately looking for one that would drive the average greenie batshit.Oh, ho! There is but one option, and only one. Don’t make a one-off donation, which will be but transient in its effect.
BUY her Gunns shares - ASX code GNS, trading today at $3.16 per share. Not a great price - but hey, its the thought that counts.
Not sure if you know the company - Tassie forester (ie cuts down trees for profit buwahahahaha); Gaia rapist, corrupter of the Earth Balance (TM), despoiler of the Virgin Forests (TM), the absolute antiChrist for any Greenie.
Yes, buy shares in the company in Sister’s name - then she is a part OWNER of the antiChrist. SHE is part responsible for the raping of the forests etc etc etc.
And you could then forever say, quietly to her friends ” Well, she used to own Gunns shares you know…. I questioned her about it - but there you go..(shrug, head-tilt etc)”
Do you have an Oz stockbroker (not sure if you are in Oz or not)? If not, try CommSec or e-trade for cheap & easy stock buying.
Posted by Stop Continental Drift! on 2007 01 15 at 07:18 AM • permalink#38 I had the misfortune to go to church at Christmas time, where the regular pastor was on leave. The sermon was taken by a self satisfied childless spinster uni lecturer that quoted Clive Hamilton in glowing terms (from Affluenza) and ragged out everyone for money spent on presents they had bought for their friends and family.
She then moved on to describe in moralist tones how she had bought her five and six year old nieces each a goat in africa for some poor kid.Bet she is a favourite auntie - not.
BTW, the only soccer match I EVER attended was in Canberra between ethnically serbian and croatian teams.
The serbian supporters all wore yugoslavian army uniforms and goose stepped up and down the sidelines. I didn’t take to them.#28 You can always donate to the Barnabas Fund.
Barnabas Fund serves the suffering Church and makes their needs known to Christians around the world, encouraging them to pray. It provides practical help to strengthen and encourage the Church in many different ways. Barnabas Fund was established in 1993 and channels aid to projects run by national Christians in more than 40 countries.

Posted by eeniemeenie on 2007 01 15 at 09:22 AM • permalink#5 Infidel Tiger -
I hate all foreigners, but Serbian and Croatian women are beautiful.
It seems to me that most problems with immigrants who refuse to assimilate involve males. How many Citroens were torched in Paris by women wearing burkhas? How many rioters at Cronulla were women? How many Croats and Serbs fighting at tennis matches were women?
Maybe the answer is to allow immigration but only for single or divorced women not accompanied by any males. There could even be some minimum standard of comeliness and shapeliness. *
Encourage them to marry Australian males and become full fledged sheilas. This would give these women a chance to live a good life with respect and self-esteem. And with the children being raised by good Aussie blokes, there wouldn’t be any future problems with the kids when they reach adulthood (almost all of which would involve males again).
* I’d personally volunteer for the highly paid job of inspecting each female immigrant to make sure they meet those standards of excellence. Or I suppose Australia could outsource the job to a private company like Professional Authenticators of Comeliness and Otherimportantthings. Although I could do it cheaper. And in technicolor.
Posted by wronwright on 2007 01 15 at 09:41 AM • permalink#57 wronwright,
Your theory of male to female ratio impacting assimilation is a good one and has been cited often in US history.
Asian-Americans are among our best and brightest Americans but racist laws in the 19th Century often kept women out while men came over to build railroads and such. The resulting Tong Wars created a lot of urban mayhem. The irony was that the bad behavior bolstered the racists’ exclusionary impulses.
I’d like President Bush to immediately airlift out as many Czech and Danish women as possible as a gesture of goodwill to me. President Clinton agrees.

Perhaps, but I wonder how many muslim rapists had a mother who called Aussie girls sluts and whores.

Posted by Major John on 2007 01 15 at 02:17 PM • permalinkQ: Why did Adopt a Sniper (adoptasniper.org) change names
to Amercian Snipers (americansnipers.org)?A: There are several reasons:
1. ADOPTASNIPER was named when we were only just a few cops “adopting” a few deployed friends to help them out.
2. Many people think it is all one big joke due to the name and look no further. Worse still ... some of their comments such as “How much do I feed my sniper or when do I walk my sniper?” is simply unprofessional.
