Default Footy Brawl on You Tube

Anyone seen this? (I'm not going to embed the vid 'cos it has foul language on it, but it's on the linked site...

SEVERAL police officers were witnesses to a bloody brawl involving dozens of players and spectators that marred a Territory football Grand Final.

A video of the post-siren brawl that followed the Alice Springs Grand Final between West and Pioneer on Saturday has been posted on the internet.

Funniest was he commentator who said 'I'm never coming back to shithole'.

Very eloquent!

I thought it was hysterical too.

I've heard the expressions, "it's on", "flying the flag" and "on for young and old" relating to brawls but what does "throwing coathangers" mean?

I think it refers to a head high tackle with straightened forearm or elbow.

Ouch!

What I love about this video is that the commentator cant help himself, he deplores the fight yet he keeps calling the action.

He was just as aggressive as the morons on the pitch. Had he been down there I imagine he would have been "throwing coathangers" as well I'm sure I've been told that only English footy fans are violent, what a turnup.

The commentator sounded as if he was drunk.
