I think that it was just over the top! Seriously, it was viewed all over the world! I did see a bottle being thrown at the cops from afar on TV but who's to say the Greeks did it?

The footage was edited in such a way (as it usually is) & innocent bystanders got sprayed too! The female cop was shown on TV - she just went straight upto one of the Greeks, sprayed him and walked off!

Since when did standing too close to a cop get you sprayed? The cops will always 'win' regardless of the other side of the story. In this case there isn't 2 sides to every story - just THEIR side.

Yes I totally agree with your comments. The Australian police have sucessfully made the Australian commynity look like a group of thugs and louts which we clearly are not!

And then they had the nerve to put the blame on the Australian public and not take any owness of their actions. If they thought that 15 (as quoted by media sources) people chearing at the tennis are hooligans - I think they would be well served to go and visit the mighty Xarilaou stadium when mighty Aris plays Paok next and then see what hooligans and thugs are really like. They would make our tennis fans look like sesame street.

Exactly! I think this is just the beginning and a few months may pass but next years Australian open we'll have the same problem!!

Why are the cricket fans not kicked out when they shout in the thousands the chant (insert name) is a W!@#$r ???? Yet the Greek fans get kicked out?? Why do you not hear about any football fans getting kicked out of the ground when they used some obscene and terribly offensive language yet you see the Greek fans getting kicked out when all they are doing is supporting a Greek sporting star?

Hypocricy ? I think so.
