Gutter stuff by the Seals aimed at player 6, Pearce

Well, it was good to get a win and end that losing streak. I guess when you have lost 5 straight any win is a good win to get the monkey off the back. However, the Sixers played poorly again and it was a peformance that against almost any other team in the league (besides maybe New Zealand) would have end with a 6th straight loss.

Yeah I hear a formal complaint is going to be lodged against the seals for their racial taunts towards Pearce.

I didnt realise calling someone a skater boy was a racial taunt. Thats all i heard from them and i sit quite close.

It was good to get a win but when I left at three quarter time, I asked for my money back!

Why Sturty6ers? You got to see the outcome of the game by 3 quarter time and also had plenty of time to catch up with the NYE festivities. You got the best of both worlds. Sorry no refund applicable here.

The navy seals are pretty low - they don't add anything entertainment wise and are only there to abuse opposition players.

On the topic of crowd behaviour, this season has to be the worst - I noticed security going after someone at the end of the game, which seems to be a common recurrence this year.

Anon...That is interesting that you would think that this the worst season in terms of crown behaviour, because I would consider this the most lifeless the Sixers crowd has ever been. There have been games were the crowd has been great, but generally speaking the crowd has been dull by 36ers standards.

mum, I dont actually know what was said, I was told that team wasnt impressed with the racial taunts and that the umpires heard what was being said. I would expect to hear more about it this week, I notice none of them have been on here yet, either a big night out or trying to ride the wave out.

There was nothing racial said to Pearce, he was being payed out about where was his skateboard as he was wearing skatie type shoes.

yes big night out! we the seals will not lower ourselfs to be racial like they do in perth and west sydney(u can ask chris anstey about that).
With no.6 pearce all we did was pay him out about looking like "a skater boy", with the shoes he was wearing, mid lenght socks(pulled up), head band and hair(the tats helped as well). So i dont see how thats is being racist, all the comments that where made as said above were"oi skater boy","where's ur skateboard pearce" and "crack an olley" .
We would not allow racial slurs to be used against any player or offical in the league.We are well aware of the fact there are children around us and it would and shouldn't be tolarated by the club or the league.

I sure can confirm nothing racial was said by the seals, unless someone has grossly mis-interpreted calling someone a skaterboy a racial comment.

I am wondering if someone\rumour has confused where the comment originated, there was an audience member who I suspect started NYE drinks early sitting near the players race yelling out all kind of things - I suggest this might be your culprit Mr Anon if something was said other than skateboard terms.

when the seals appeared i was first in line to knock the guys..the look and the idea.

I have changed my mind, good on you guys..i fully support the effort you put in..the good natured banter..and the help with getting some life from the crowd.

those who are having shots at the seals..have never actually listened..give these guys a break..they are doing something to help our team.

(by the way..dont know them..never met them..never even spoken to them)

Hear, Hear Thomo! I agree. Keep up the good work seals. It would be nice to see the 'dance off' with the sixers girls again too!

Jasmine - I agree with you. I have been a season ticket holder for 10 seasons now and the crowds have definitely been more dull. What you don't seem to understand is that I didn't say the entire crowd has been loud and crazy - it's just that there has never been a season where security has been involved due to the number of incidents and pathetic behaviour of some people. Just ask any of the security guards.

Dana,

We'll be having another "Dance-Off" with the Sixer-Girls at the next home game on Jan 11th against New Zealand at half-time.

On another note, I only found out about these disgraceful allegations of racism levelled against us last night and I too only heard Skater boy remarks coming from us and didn't hear and certainly wouldn't condone any racial or personal remarks about the players.
