Booing of Adam Goodes tonight

[Swansujelly]

Essendon supporters boo Goodes: it's the supporters

Hawthorn supporters boo Goodes: it's Goodes

That was entire point of this thread. Bag EFC and it's officials if you like... and bag our supporters like any other supporters too. That's normal.

It's taken in an extra dimension though now, even the media are into it. Worms like Barrett make public comment about every crowd reaction at an EFC game. The media speaks down to EFC supporters.

Last night was just an example - the same thing happened vs Essendon and there wasn't discussion about Goodes, there was discussion about Essendon supporters.

People and the media need to deal with the fact that EFC supporters are exactly the same as any other clubs: passionate, irrational, occasionally aggressive.

None of us are much different no matter what the club. Bag the actions of officials all you like... leave well alone normal, good, honest people who just happen to put on a red and black scarf when they go to the footy. Stop insulting their intelligence.

(No I'm not talking about myself, it doesn't bother me. All's fair on here).

Hawthorn fans are next to god, without sin, just ask them. Barrett however, pretty sure he was born in sin..

No, you weren't saying that what I was saying is what you were saying, you were saying that what I said is not what you're meaning.

Yep.

Does it really matter? I'm sure nobody is going to think any less of you, anonymous poster on the internet, without you clarifying that I edited your original comment.

 

[Swansujelly]

I don't like him so I will Boo. Live with it.

coolio, just ask where your hate truly comes from..within, I expect..just know, I have a hug for you..

 

[final fight]

the crowd are allowed to boo players still???? have the PC brigade hijacked this small pleasure as well?

 

[tige19]

you obviously have a small mind. Think about what you posted, and then apply it in the real world. You think he needs to cash in anything? Your a pillock..what are you? A pillock.

A pillock? no. A disliker of Goodes? Yes.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Hawthorn fans are next to god, without sin, just ask them. Barrett however, pretty sure he was born in sin..

It's not about Hawthorn supporters.

We're all very, very similar creatures no matter which club.

Fans trolling is one thing. Suggestions by supposedly educated public media figures are another. Last night just highlighted it.

Our whole saga has taken on a new dimension in the media - the smug criticism, insulting and belittling of good people who support Essendon.

(Again, not what happens on here, that's just regular).

 

[Swansujelly]

A pillock? no. A disliker of Goodes? Yes.

you dislike the Australian of the Year? Avast ye unpatriotic Curr.

 

[Glorious couch life]

It's your attitude and mindset I'm referring to, nothing to do with your race.

That's fine. Enjoy your unthinking political correctness. I (and others of my ilk) will maintain my right to have an opinion on the behaviour I see.
I've posted the reasons for why I'd boo Goodes. It's all in this thread if you are looking for some actual content to refute (other than my "attitude").

 

[carl m]

No, you weren't saying that what I was saying is what you were saying, you were saying that what I said is not what you're meaning.

Did Doug dig Dick's garden or did Dick dig Doug's garden?

Your a dick, that's why you boo, nothing else, you are a dick..

 

[Furn2]

so do I, but I don't denigrate any past winners, possibly because I don't have an axe to grind. You obviously do, so it's time to have a look in the mirror..

Youre right, maybe i should quit my job in cancer research and become a full time hypocritical bully that picks on 13 yr old girls ?

 

[Glorious couch life]

Your a dick, that's why you boo, nothing else, you are a dick..

Solid rebuttal. While we're throwing around shallow insults, your cutting barb is helped along by poor spelling and a childish username (you're really going with that?).
Back to your homework.
See? Irrelevant posts are fun.

Probably why you haven't cracked cancer yet, keep focussing on one single thing.

 

[Angus Young]

Not sure why he was booed. He is a gun player .

Did he stop the game at all last night and point out any 13 year old girls in the crowd that were teasing him?

 

[ottoman]

I don't understand this thread. Many people think Goodes is a flog, so they boo him. Why should they have to justify themselves to anyone.
I think they guy is a flog and if I was at the game I would boo him as well.

Pretty sure this thread is a result of some rather sanctimonious articles written in The Age earlier in the year after the Ess v Syd game.

The real question should be; who gives a **** which players get booed at the footy?

 

[JUBJUB]

That's why Caro cops such a hammering.

Really,what Caro & Mr Eyebrows get up to in their bedroom is no business of ours

 

[treefingers]

I was at the game and I didn't hear anyone boo Goodes?

 

[The Scales]

Yep.

Does it really matter? I'm sure nobody is going to think any less of you, anonymous poster on the internet, without you clarifying that I edited your original comment.

You are 100% incorrect, that no-one would think any less of me, but I would live in eternal shame if the least educated, or uninformed student of posterity would recognise my imprimatur, was innapropriately utilised.

So yes, IT REALLY DOES MATTER, ****WIT

Racial abuse is akin to teasing. With that one comment you demonstrate your complete ignorance and lack of understanding of the entire issue. Gg dude.

 

[Steven Tyler]

That's factually inaccurate. Don't put something in quotes that is not a quote. And also, why do so many people on BigFooty chose to ignore the end of the sentence? Seems an odd thing to do unless you have a preconceived prejudice.


ADAM GOODES (May 25th): Racism has a face last night and it was a 13-year-old girl - but it's not her fault. She's 13, she's still so innocent. I don't put any blame on her.


That's the direct quote.

He said the face of racism is that of a 13 year old girl, irrelevant saying it's not her fault, he has labeled HER the face of racism, and it was bloody pathetic!

 

[Eddie Dingle]

I was at the game and I didn't hear anyone boo Goodes?

Hey man, they weren't saying Gooooooooooooooooooooodes.

 

[RandB]

Didn't notice anything watching it on the box.

What quarter, how many people?

 

[ManWithNoName]

It's hilarious how people are clinging to the 13 YEAR OLD GIRL argument to justify their ignorance or bigotry. If it was a 27 year old guy no doubt they'd see Goodes as an inspirational hero, but it was a 13 YEAR OLD GIRL.

THIRTEEN

This thread is going the way of all Goodes threads. It's boring.
Lock pls
