The SMH reports that despite all the Raiders have put their fans through in the last nine months they’re not happy with fan behaviour.
The car of a high-profile Canberra Raiders player has been vandalised as the NRL club’s boss Don Furner says he is embarrassed to be a Canberran following reports of abusive behaviour by fans towards players, families and even the club’s ballboys and cheergirls.
The CEO of the team that made Canberra globally famous for its lax animal sex laws is embarrased to be a Canberran?
UPDATE: LeagueHQ reports that the car was Matt Orford’s Audi.

Wow. I really need to invest in a bogan to English translator. Don’t worry about getting sued, because no one knows what you’re on about.
This guy can’t be real can he??
ozziecoops said :
Wow. That’s quite an incoherent rant. Next time, use punctuation and the shift keys correctly. We might have a chance at understanding what you’re talking about.

I tried to read it. I really tried. But alas…

Not enough spelling errors, and he loses points for trying too hard. A Nice combination of CAPS and not using caps when required though.
MR FURNER YOU AND THE CANBERRA RAIDERS ARE LUCKY TO HAVE 2% OF CANBERRIANS THAT FOLLOW YOU GOING ON YOUR MEMBERSHIP, FOR THE AMOUNT OF PPL IN CANBERRA. SO THEY ARE ALL RIGHT DONT PUT US IN 1 CATEGORY take the team and move to Logan home where nearly all your players come from, 1 every now and then comes from canberra. SO GOING ON THE COMMENTS DONT THINK YOU WILL BE MISSED BY MANY, MAYB 2% WILL
Classified said :
Maybe. Need to work out what he’s saying first.

FOTW?
hey u live in qbn not Canberra so go back across the border tellsome1 who cares, thats right every1 is the same bar you and the raiders are better than all of the Canberra ppl. but you are the worst offender of all ppl in Canberra and the most unaustralian i have ever met turning your back on an aussie olimpian and 2 raiders fans IN 1/2 TIME ENTERTAINMENT in there time of need when you and your club are responsible for there injuries thru your own negligence, isnt it a SHAME mr furner you dont remember when the raiders and there fans asked for the whole of canberra to help when they didnt have sponsors (1991) and in there time of need. but you and the board were so quick to distance your self from helping others that probably helped you in your time of need. THIS IS CERTAINLY MOST UNAUSTRALIAN ? oh and yes mr furner you said they were litigious ppl and you found this regrettable but 6 months later you are sueing the daily telegraph for defamation. SEEMS like 1 rule for you and the raiders and 1 for the ppl and fans. thought the fans were the most important ppl to you. 1 more thing MR FURNER YOU HAVE NO PPL SKILLS AND NO LEADERSHIP SKILLS YOU WANT TO COME SUE ME BRING IT ON.

mr furner you are the embarrassment to all of Canberra. you only have to read all you statements over the last few yrs and every1 would know that you are a contradictory person. wonder what your next comment will be?
RedDogInCan said :
Good point, poorly made. 😛
Yawn. Who are these “Raiders” you all speak of?
Well, if Don Furner has such a low opinion of Raider’s fans, I certainly won’t burden him with my presence at the next home game.
What an arrogant jerk.
Aside from the vehicle damage the behaviour is nothing new. My sister was a Raiders cheergirl way back when they were unpaid kids who never travelled with the team or posed for calendars. The only thing Furner should be embarrassed about is his association with rugby league – and the home crowd who would bellow sexual comments at 12 year old girls every week.

Of course, they support their ‘supporters’ too don’t they? Few years ago a scout group, whom a friend’s kids belonged to, got permission (from stadium managment) to set up a fund raising sausage sizzle outside the stadium before a game.
The kids had barely set up when sercuity showed up and told them to ‘get lost’. And that ‘request’ came down from the Raiders’ management.
And this was only a year or so after the Raiders had begged poor and pleaded with Canberrans to support them and give them lots of money so they wouldn’t go bankrupt.
Those kids they so rudely told to ‘get lost’, had given much of their pocket money to do just that to support their team.
They broke a few hearts then.

Dang, the comment preview allows strikethrough tags but they don’t show in the submitted comment. The words “the behaviour of” should have been crossed out.
Erg0 said :
There, I fixed that for you.
WTF ‘Embarrassed to be a Canberra’ – Furner you are a tool… 1 out of 400,000 people did this and you insult the entire Canberra district… What a joke! No wonder people are fickle Raiders supporters when they are led by an absolute toolbag of a coach.. 0-7 yeah why hasn’t he been fired yet???
