Golec Guns Down Guangzhou

[JackDoff]

Asian crowds look about as scary as a pensioner Tuesday bingo session at Westpoint..... oh hang on......

[hawks2767]

Yep they had every opportunity to show us their anger outside the ground but I didn't even see one of them, they were ushered away by the cops.

 

It was funny seeing obviously paid people handing out Chinese flags to their fans, I wasn't aware it was china v Australia.

Just saw you tube comments with many west sydney fans from asian backgrounds giving it to evergrande fans only for evergrande fans trying to sledge guys they think are from thailand vietnam and china as well.

 

these colours unite us all.

There was a certain 'rent-a-crowd' feel about their so-called away fans...reminds me of the time I saw the torch in Canberra for the Beijing Olympics. The pro-China message was far more obvious than the 'let's go Guangzhou'. I could be way off beam but my gut feeling is someone in the local Chinese expat students community with links to their government made certain that there was a well-rehearsed 'spontaneous' showing of support for GE.

 

Course I could be channeling my inner Clive

i know sweet FA about the atmosphere inside chinese stadiums. does anyone know if the home fans in china will make it much harder?.... have they got an intimidating home record?

 

anyone who says that parra is not an intimidating place to play for opposing players is kidding themselves..... just wondering if the wanderers can expect a similar reception, and if anyone thinks it will have any effect on the outcome.

This is where Popa shows just how deserved his reputation is. Keeping the squad focused on a positive performance and forgetting that there was even a match last week or that a crowd even exists in China, that's where he earns his kudos.

I'd say there maybe 100 actual 'away supporters', the rest were just Chinese locals who picked up freebie packs paid for by Guangzhou or the Chinese embassy?. I was still impressed they managed to still fill the entire south end like that.

During commentary Cockerill said that GE's owners had paid for 1,000 fans to come from China for the game and they took 20,000 to an away game in Korea last year.

I saw a few getting a bit pissy (whilst being on a different platform) at some young fellas singing and dancing at the train station

[hawks2767]

Speaking of that, I read a comment from an Army guy who said he stepped in to stop some of our fans hassling a woman on Parra station, apparently she was Philipino not Chinese.

 

I wouldn't mind hearing if anyone was a witness to it.

[matty]

Comment where Hawks?

[hawks2767]

On a military forum where they were talking about sports.

 

Her race isn't relevant but I wouldn't mind getting the full story because I am leaning towards this just being a case of someone letting their hatred of our club & fans cloud their judgement.

[Themumf]

Was anyone on the planet who watched all that stuff kick off on 90 mins (and the subsequent instagram rubbish) happier than good old Clive Palmer?

That's what I'm thinking. Or they're just plain making it up. Too easy to say absolutely anything anonymously.

[teddies]

Did the Guanzhou fans clean up after themselves? No?

 

..Japan>China

[AEK]

The 1000 fans that came from china are GUANGZHOU members apparently, I have a Chinese friend at work who confirmed it for me,

 

All their flights and accommodation paid for by GUANGZHOU owner!

[Tranquilo]

saw losers smile for the camera 

[Davo]

Finally managed to watch the match replay. When Bridge had that chance about 15 mins in but fell down he appealed to the referee for a penalty. Didn't see much in it at the time but if you watch the replay the defender on the ground reaches out and ankle taps him. Should have been a penalty. Don't know why Lippi was so upset with the ref...

[hawks2767]

Lol the safety of being on another train I see, what did you do to him in reply or previously to that ???

Why so inflammatory? (Pun intended)

 

When you get to the stage of seriously considering burning an effigy of our opposition, maybe it's time to reevaluate.

Wouldn't be the first time someone has set fire to protest China.

With all this talk on social media, has anyone seen the Youtube comments to the official highlights video?

 

 

 

Some of it is pretty good, most of it is incredibly racist and some of it is just
