Essendon supporters cheering the umpire getting knocked out

[Blue and Gold Blood]

Central umpire just went down with an injury in the middle of the ground and lied there motionless. Bombers fans thought it was a right old laugh and cheered at the sight of the umpire lying still on the ground. Eventually a stretcher was called for which was again met with cheers.

Disgraceful

 

[YouBeauty]

I saw this and heard the bombers supporters cheering the umpire getting knocked out, i thought it was a bit harsh, he was in a bad way.

Thoughts ?

Booing him off the ground. Stay classy, Essendon.

 

[Bennett.]

Well they've been terrible, but where were they Sydney medical staff?
Essendon's doctors were there.

 

[ESKIE]

Pretty poor, now they're boooing the poor bloke,

Lift ya game

 

[stellation]

People at Etihad cheering an umpire getting knocked out, I'm sure it wasn't just Essendon fans.

 

[Captivating]

I think they boo'd the umpire off too.

Every footy game is always going to have a number of idiots there no matter which 2 teams are playing.

Really defending it?
Even booing as he's getting stretchered off? Get a grip.

 

[Jamie007]

Disgraceful.. Booing him off is just wrong in every aspect..

yes, I'm sure we are the only fans who would EVER do that

It's probably a policy that the home team doctors attend to any umpire/official that gets injured.

 

[Air_Chester]

Was weak as piss, surely doesn't deserve it's own thread though.

They will take him "off site" then to fix him up..

The umpiring has been fine... Stop sooking because you are copping a fair old spanking..

 

[Captivating]

PS, classless is the redundant word in the subject title

 

[SApies]

Lol okay.

nonononono

Essendon fans are just the worst people in the world.

The clapping was clearly from everyone else.

The medicos weren't really from Essendon.

Essendon is evil and it's Hird's fault, because no other football club would have supporters do likewise.

 

[Bennett.]

I was saying Boooo-urns

 

[grilledboard]

I get the cheering in that if the umpire falls over normally everyone gives em a bit of a bronx cheer but as soon as its clear he was seriously hurt then people needs to pull their heads in

 

[DerpWerls]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Stratton_Gun]

 

[Engimal]

Really? You can tell the supporter base of a crowd member by their 'boo'?

 

[Quinz]

Very poor look. I understand the initial reaction but thought by the time the stretcher came off the crowd would have reacted better. Did hear a few claps, and a few boos. If it wasn't Essendon it would have been another set of fans though, except ours obviously.

 

[telsor]

I can understand people cheering when an umpire gets knocked over (it's not right, but...)

Once it becomes obvious it's serious though, I think basic humanity should take over.

 

[EBCantona]

Yeah i'm sure the supporters of the 17 other teams would have given him a standing ovation and a blowjob while they were at it.
