BAN BOOING!

here come the bleeding hearts.

boooo!!

 

[Doctor Feel]

We were in their shoes last year and we did boo. And I'd do it again. **** Selwood the cheating campaigner.

Inb4 happens tomorrow

 

[Jonts]

This current hysteria surrounding booing is incredible.

Essendon fans felt robbed and passions are high. It wasn’t directed at Pendlebury personally.

Good grief.

Even if it was so what? Booing Pendles is pretty harmless

Right on!

 

[LFC2010]

Surely the umpires coach (Kennedy I think) has to quit.
It's at an all time low when all players stop in play waiting for the correct whistle which doesn't come

 

[ozph1870]

Poor disposal, poor decision making, just poor all round.

A more composed team would have put Collingwood to the sword.

As we will next week...

 

[Schulzenfest]

Inb4 happens tomorrow

Norf win in another 38-13, Jared Polec wins the ANZAC medal.

 

[Jonts]

Lol

Nat Edwards has made a decent media career by just saying populist things and laughing too much at her cohosts jokes

 

[RossFC]

Lol

I reckon some of those old blokes from the war would be the first guys to tell the ump that he's a maggot.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Lol @ the morons on social media being like SO THEY WAITED TILL PENDLES GOT THE AWARD TO BOO

No they didn't. They were booing non-stop through the entire thing.

They were not booing Pendlebury they were booing Mclauglin well before, it was the poor (biased) umpiring.

As we will next week...

It's at Etihad too

We need to change the AFLs attitude on umpiring - Fans

 

[Magus]

Boooo Nat Edwards booooooo

 

[JAlexG]

"Hocking said it is becoming an urgent problem in the game and added that it was not a matter of making umpires at the top level full-time.
He said players are "super-smart" at exploiting the rules and this puts even more pressure on the umpires."

lol. My sides. Of course it's the players making it so difficult. Warney would be jealous of the turn, bloody hell.

I thought it was the mcg, would have preferred it to be there to be honest.

More than just their attitude, that just the start of it.

 

[Rockliff for Brownlow]

Sorry for the whinge fear but this perception of doing what’s right pisses me off.

When I was brought up following footy I got told to Boo, yell ‘Ball’ and sledge your opposition.

Aren’t we allowed to have our own opinions and act on our emotions.

The world is becoming so judgemental and people fear of being judged. People fear the introduction of robots and cloning when we are actually cloning ourselves and becoming a soul less society.

It’s heading to the situation that we will be looked upon as poor supporters if we don’t clap and cheer oppo goals.

 

[Powerstufff]

So no-one, absolutely no-one has beaten me to this?

 

[Janus]

It would have been better, but it won't make a difference IMO.

 

[Ian Jackson]

I hope there isn'the a betting problem with the umpires, early in games there seems to be a distinct bias to one team. Late in games there seems to be evening up frees. Just saying!

Time for neutral umpires, can't be that hard AFL.

 

[ozph1870]

Don't forget Essendon got their last goal from a soft free..

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

As we will next week...

Whether we are good enough to do it remains to be seen but Collingwood were definitely on the canvas & the Bombres just couldn't take advantage of it.
