Essendon fans booing.

[ThatsjustDappa]

Oh okay - so Geelong fans booing Ablett when he played a the Suns was okay too.
No problem then.

If you cant distinguish booing a champion player during a medal presentation on ANZAC Day than during a game then I feel sorry for you.
Hope you don't have kids.

Taking the high ground with that classy response

I just hate how every week people always blame the umpires, not just essendon, it is literally every team. There will always be dodgy calls in EVERY game but they are rarely the reason why a team loses, a missed free is no more than a missed easy shot at goal and the pies missed a lot of easy shots that could of had the game over

grow the **** up seriously, we led from start to finish, they did not hit the front once, had more shots on goal than Essendon and more inside 50s

Whateley on 360 all ready to go off on the "plebs" at the ground booing who actually paid their hard earned to attend and gave up their day off work to support their team. Dermie not so interested, dunstsll kinda agreed, Whateley backs down and says "let's wait for robbo to come in and we will revisit it" - Dermie "we'll we all know he doesn't like booing".

WTF is wrong with the media who thinks they have the right to tell people to stop booing??? If the afl want to come out and ban booing try it. Everyone will just boo more . If they throw people out for it I would want my money back, and if they didn't I would be looking to follow it up like a lot of people, and if I was unsuccessful I would never attend or watch another footy game again--like a lot of people!

Who cares if people boo . A boo isn't racist, it doesn't hurt anyone. Get over it ffs.

Jeff Kennett, when contacted for comment, said he has been reliably informed it was Collingwood fans booing Pendles.

 

[Blue1980]

What he say?

Basically it was the worst thing ever, dermie is like yeah players are villains at that point in time so what.

Gerard knows this is gold for generating discussion.

 

[PowerBaz]

Umps deserve to be booed. Disgraceful.

Even Nicholls tomoz needs to be booed now. Campaigner.

 

[Ambrosia]

Can we stop caring about booing. It's a non-issue.

 

[Ice-Wolf]

My issue with the booing, was it was done while someone from the RSL was giving out a medal, called the ANZAC Medal on ANZAC Day.

That’s disgusting, know the moment Essendon supporters

Stop giving out a meaningless medal at a game of football. There shouldn't be an ANZAC medal and if there is to be one all players should be eligble for it not just those from the 2 sides that get gifted the showcase game.

We can. The media can't. We Are plebs who are privilidged to be witnessing such greatness . How dare we boo anyone of them /s.

It's a ****ing boo for **** sake.

I have no issue at all with booing in general, what ever it is part of the game, but in this instance it was when Pendles received the medal and gave his speech, which is an ANZAC day tradition, happens every single ANZAC day, have some respect for the day you drug cheating ****s. The game was over by about 10 minutes. Just because you disagree with some umpiring decisions don't boo at the ceremony.

I was there, 100% happened.

 

[The Filth]

You are exactly what your name suggests. Piss poor. The type that will take the high ground and defend Pendlebury - who didn’t deserve to be booed for receiving an award - but will boo daisy Thomas when he played his first game against the pies, or Dom Sheed this year when weagles played the pies, or GAJ. You have good form as a troll. Well done.

Fine - BTW booing players when they change sides is no biggie, just about every supporter group does it and most of it is in good humour and just banter.
Dom Sheed - dog act. Don't mind. I wouldn't boo him personally not my style. But do the crime get the boos.
Ablett - doesn't care - been booed for years because he is too good basically.

What did Pendebury do today to deserve boos?
If you want to boo the umpires then boo the umpires - not a champion receiving a well deserved accolade. What's next - booing at the Brownlow because Mitchell should have been rubbed out and Sidebottom would have won it instead. Of course not. Respect the occasion.
This was nasty and inappropriate for this occasion.

Now, coward - do you think it was appropriate.
Yes/No - and why.
...oh and don't try and deflect anymore by dragging up the hundreds of other instances where booing has occurred.
What is you opinion on this incident?

 

[Fadge]

I repeat.
The innocuous incident you cite is 380 games ago in my club’s history.
Is that all you got?

Despite the fact it didn't actually happen.

 

[WillieNillie]

Clearly booing out of respect to Scott Pendlebury

Or the Dom Sheed clause as I'll call it

 

[lenny20]

I boo all the time! I love it.

But when you boo non stop during the best player's *very* gracious acceptance speech, in which he opens by acknowledging the supporters, the Essendon team and the diggers...

...well, there's a way to lose badly. And Essendon supporters couldn't have been worse losers today. Their team was absolutely inspirational; their supporters were embarrassing.

 

[Handsuper47]

If the Tigers got robbed like that at the end of a game, I'd expect a whole hour of booing damn it! Stop being such princesses.

 

[Raoul Juke]

The guy who compared the booing to what Goodes copped made a great point, that was far far worse in nature.

Lest not forget also that the Pies president is also the bloke who then suggest that he should get in cahoots with the King Kong musical and do some cross promotion -absolutely no high horse for that joint to sit on while that prick is in-charge

Who cares? It's a boo? It wasn't during the bloody minute silence. It was during a footy medal award. Nothing to do with the Anzacs. You think they thought that boo was directed at them do you? Or at the military? Give me a spell .

 

[Thebisc]

Every AFL player and media sycophant completely reading the room wrong here. Pendle’s is not a boo worthy player. Yeah so he ducked in the last and got a free...so what, happens hundreds of times a game. Essendon fans, we boo! Fact! Our boos are loud as we have a lot of supporters. As do Collingwood, west coast, hawthorn, Richmond etc. EVERY team boos because it’s the only way to show displeasure at the shitful state of officiating our game. And anyone who thinks Collingwood didn’t get rub of the green today(more so for the missed frees) is an idiot. Collingwood fans are all offended because their captain(and legend) happened to be presented a medal(deservedly) as Essendon fans were still in the 5 min zone of a close loss(that was clearly affected by umpiring). You won, maybe with a touch of luck, move on. No one hates Pendlebury. Buckley read it completely wrong and has stoked a fire.

Kicking a goal to win a Grand Final is a dog act?

Get a grip mate

Well sorry mate but the idea is to make it a big day and unfortunately St Kilda vs North Melbourne for example is NOT a blockbuster and a waste of the day

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

Some of these Wheatley media types need to go to a Boca River plate game. Booing is nothing.

Blind?

I told you it wasn't...

 

[dmc333]

Meh, at this point I'm not sure Essendon can get much lower, so it's hardly a blight on them.
