Isn't it great that these two words are used side by side in the same context!!!!!
And btw, Baghdatis won his first round match. He served poorly at 43 percent of first serves in, but he did enough to get through!!! The crowd was good and there are more new chants!!!!
Hooliganism - Tennis!!!!: )
Full Version: Tennis Hooliganism!! Baghdatis 1st round win!!!
Hooliganism is not chanting, sorry to break it to you. This is the kind of mentality that HFC fools use to call themselves hools. If you tore some seats out and threw them at the other players support and then started throwing some coins at him while he was serving then yes i'd say you're hooligans.
Niko, I agree with you. I'm not talking bout the H.F.C. Fools, i'm talking bout the Serbs and Cros throwing bottles and kicking and punching.
Hooliganism is probably reduced because of the H.F.C. My reasoning is this, the H.F.C. could be paranoid that any negative publicity will be aimed at their group and it gives them a bad name and their club could be closed down and website shutdown if they cross the line.etc. They want to think they are hardcore, but they are not!!
H.F.C. serves it's purpose, it adds atmosphere cos they are a organized group etc etc, but they are fairly try hard, but Hooligans they are definitely not!!! They are soft core!!!!
People are not saying a few Greeks got ejected, they are saying a few H.F.C. got ejected. They are labeling Greek fans as H.F.C. and not as Greek!! People are getting annoyed cos it's H.F.C. this H.F.C. that!!!!

About 150 Serbian, Croatian and Greek fans were ejected from the Australia Open today after ethnic tensions boiled over into violence about 12.30pm.
A fight broke out between the Serbian and Croatian fans in the garden area of Melbourne Park.
Serbs and Croats threw bottles and tried to hit each other with their national flags.
Up to 20 police rushed in to stop the violence.
The Serbians were chanting "Die Croatians, die" in Serbian, and were joined by Greek fans shouting "Greece, Serbia, Greece, Serbia!"
Police calmed the situation by dividing the fans and escorting the groups out of different entrances.
The Greek contingent, who were standing near the Serbs but were not involved in the fighting, were angry that they had been ejected as well.
The Serbian and Croatian groups apparently had an understanding that today would be the Croatians' day to attend the tennis, and the Serbians would attend tomorrow.
A fight was apparently arranged for tonight.
"Monday is our day every year," said a Croatian fan, who identified himself as Cmladen Mrnuaus. "We have to fight back."
Tensions have died down at Melbourne Park since the ejections.
Those ejected were mostly of Serbian background, a Victorian police spokeswoman said.
"They were upsetting the Croatians; 150 people were ejected from the grounds shortly before 1pm. They are believed to be mostly Serbians.
"Earlier the Croatians had gathered in Federation Square, chanting their songs and lighting flares before they made their way to the arena."
No arrests have been made, and at this stage there are no reports of injuries.
Croatian and Serbian players scheduled to play
Several Croatian and Serbian players were scheduled to play on day one of the Open, including Croatian fourth seed Ivan Ljubicic, and the ninth seed, Croat Mario Ancic.
Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis, who attracted enormous Greek support on his way to the final last year, was also slated to play.
The fans, most draped in Serbian, Croatian or Greek national flags, were marched to the front gates and outside onto Swan Street chanting as they were escorted.
Several tried to push back into the crowd on their way out, but were caught and forced back into line by police.
Police pushed Croatian supporters east down Swan Street towards Richmond, while Serbian and Greek supporters were funnelled towards the city.

I'm glad i wasn't anywhere near that, i was already seated in my seat at the Rod Laver Arena. I heard about this through my brothers gf cos she was still outside when this happened and saw a lot of ppl running.
They're just a bunch of bozos and it's stupid that the Greeks were kicked out too.
But i am proud of how the pagans behaved today and they are not hooligans.
I'm looking forward to wednesday now, should be good.

sad thing is i went to school with daniel... the serb they had talking on seven news.... he was always such a nice boy and he used to hang around with all the maco's and cro's.... what a fucker!
The notion of peace with historical enemies makes me sick.
Enemies are their to be destroyed.
FYI, Maco's are Greeks from the north - the word you are looking for Pat is skops.
