Essendon fans booing.

[JayJ20]

Collingwood fans boo Sheed, Ablett, Riewoldt, have multiple racist incidents over the year, start fights at games more than any other set of fans and are well known for anti-social, bogan behaviour. Now they can’t handle fans booing umpires? They’d be the first to boo if the situation was the other way around. They’d probably start getting violent too.

The funniest and most idiotic part of the whole booing thing, is that it's assumed everyone is booing for the same reason.


And even better still, is when someone assumed to know exactly what the reason is.


Reality is, 90% of people boo just cause they hear booing.

Was Pendles booed accepting any other ANZAC medal?

we probably won easily and the booers had gone home. Missing all those sitters kept you in it so that unfortunately they were all still there at the end this time

I think this thread has just about run it's course.

Media comment by Buckley and McGuire pretty much says it all.

In his post-match press conference, Buckley said he hoped he would’ve done the same thing if it wasn’t his player copping the boos.
“My comment speaks for itself,” he said.
“I hope that I would’ve been strong enough if say an Essendon player had won the medal in the exact same moment, and the Collingwood faithful had responded that way, I hope I would’ve been strong enough to say the same thing. And I think I would’ve. I don’t like it, but that’s just my opinion.
“I don’t think it really warrants further questioning or talking about because it just makes it a greater focal point.”

Collingwood president Eddie McGuire told Fox Footy post-game he didn’t think the booing was targeted at Pendlebury, but instead the umpiring.
“The Essendon fans are sensational. Let’s assume it was pantomime,” he said.
“But we have to get past booing. Let’s get it out of the game. The Bombers fans were so pent up they would have booed anything. But let’s get it out of the game.”

Wow poor you.

You peaked 29 years ago.

I wasn’t born then, so it doesn’t affect me if we lost that game.

Not peaked, just finally broke through after too many losses in my lifetime!

 

[Capt Haddock]

The booing was terrible. More calls went against the bombers than Collingwood. But the most damaging one was the goal Essendon kicked
For a hold on Langdon.

The key thing people think umpires change the result. Sheil burnt the ball consistently which cost them more.

Umpires don’t tend to change results. Players do.

Quit talking sense. We’re here to discuss how Essendon were ROBBED and the booing of of a champion meant NOTHING because, because, because Collingwood did it first and worst!

See thats the thing.
‘Its a game of football.. fans will act like they do at any other game of football’
I have a question - would you excuse a football fan ‘just acting like any other game’ and yelling out during the minute silence? Doubt it.
Its a different day. One of respect. If you cannot see that, you are un-australian.

the minutes silence is held at other games, not just the ANZAC day game. Once it's over it's back to the footy

ANAZC medal not ok
Norm Smith all good

It's hard to keep up with you Pie supporter morals

Don't rope me into it, i couldn't give a rats, i just laugh at the cowards who say they weren't booing Pendles.

 

[adammania9]

Essendon supporters dry out of ideas so have resorted to referencing Dom Sheed and the Nicky Winmar incident that was about 25 years ago. Embarrassing themselves as usual. I hear Salt Lake City is a great place to live.

In all honesty... I think it has been said before, but if anyone is to blame for the loss it is definitely not the umpires, or pendlebury.
Have a good hard look at Dylan Shiel and his Under 12 level footskills.
Maybe you should’ve booed him off the ground?
That wouldn’t be something we haven’t seen from your mob after all would it ..

 

[DapperDon]

the history behind ANZAC day v the Norm Smith.
It is astounding to me how no one sees the difference.

Don't pretend winning an ANZAC medal has any part in respecting the veterans. It's a medal for a best on ground footy player, it's not going to be pinned on a jacket for a march.

You just said it was best day of your life.

That would be the definition of peaking.

R U Ok bro?

Close match, emotions at fever pitch, result in the balance, some very dodgy decisions,of course you're going to get a reaction. How many pie fans on here sooking about it, actually went ?

You’ve got absolutely Zero idea about what this game, on this day means then.

 

[mxett]

Fair point.

But we already know of 1 who definitely was.

and he's a fool. Pendles is a great player and very fair

We get it your player got booed, you are upset.

Pies never boo, except when they do, but that's different because reasons, but DON'T BOO PENDELS YOU SCUM

 

[SherbertLemon]

AFL likes money.

ANZAC stays with us.

And I will continue to boourns to my hearts content

Salty as hell some of these campaigners

 

[mxett]

R U Ok bro?

dont be a tool

 

[Seedsfan]

Was Pendles booed accepting any other ANZAC medal?

So as a supporter group you defend sinking to a new low by highlighting the fact it is indeed a new low

 

[Bald]

They did!

Of course they did.

Collingwood fans aren’t sooking, champ. We don’t have to because, you know, we won. Unlike you. Who lost.

 

[DapperDon]

No, I know exactly what this day means and guess what *******, it had just as big a meaning before footy was played on it.

FFS, this is a football game. Don't put it anywhere near the level of respect we should be giving the veterans.

 

[TonaldDrump]

Why didn't Bucks speak up for Gaff and Sheed when they were booed by Collingwood earlier this year?

And Bucks also never disavowed the girl calling Goodes a "monkey" or their crowd booing him.
