Footy world divided over spectator’s ‘s***housery’ act on Anzac Day

TV commentators were giggling at one fan’s contemptuous trolling of an Essendon star on Anzac Day, but not everyone’s laughing.

Collingwood fans act of 'sh*thousery'

At least Essendon won something on Anzac Day.

Kyle Langford provided the Bombers with a brilliant moment where he one-upped a trolling Collingwood fan, but it was lost in the aftermath of the Magpies’ stunning 28-point, fourth quarter comeback victory.

Langford’s hilarious exchange hasn’t impressed everyone with some fans suggesting the Collingwood spectator went too far during the second quarter incident.

After Langford was awarded a free kick inside 50, the ball ended up in the hands of a fan in the front row.

Instead of throwing the ball back to Langford, the fan held it out at arms length before throwing it to the turf as the Bombers star got closer.

Langford ultimately had the last laugh as he went back behind his mark and slotted the goal before turning and pointing out the fan.

“He turns to the bloke who wouldn’t give him the ball and says ‘have some of that’,’” Channel 7 commentator James Brayshaw said.

Brian Taylor added: “And a nice civilised manner he did it in as well.”

Freelance commentator Darren Parkin wrote: “Langford pointing to the d***head in the crowd after that goal.”

Triple M’s Rudi Edsall wrote: “That was great gear from all involved, classic Anzac Day moment.

Football commentator Jordan Kounelis wrote on Twitter: “Brilliant s***housery from Langford and that fan. 1-1 draw”.

As Collingwood and Essendon lined up for the 28th Anzac Day contest, fans were struggling to differentiate the two sides.

Collingwood’s famous white and black stripes stood out, but it was Essendon’s white shorts causing issues.

Add in multiple Collingwood stars tussling on the deck resulting in red paint covering their guernseys.

The issue took over social media in the opening quarter of the highly-anticipated contest.

CODE Sports’ Daniel Cherny wrote: “Strong splashes of red on the back of Collingwood’s jumper combined with Essendon wearing white shorts makes this a hall of fame jumper clash.”

ESPN’s Matt Walsh wrote: “Dark backs, white numbers. Both clubs wearing some combination of black, white, and red (MASSIVE KFC and Emirates logos on the Pies). Anzac Day always one for the jumper clash fans.”
