Chris Scott should have done the sensible and responsible thing and played the whole thing down but no has to be the attention seeker trying to make us out to be a bunch of jealous imbeciles which he is than infering that the club itself is setting a bad example. Can't help himself. Clarko hopefully remembers this for next time we play. Were not playing tiddlywinks here guess what if we want to boo the umpires love child than we can do what we want
He did play it down in his press conference and also said it obviously didn’t work and if that was how Gary played when booed then keep it up. When questioned if the booing was because of the comments of Folau he just said he didn’t think so but if he (the reporter) wanted to make that the story then....

I can’t stand Chris Scott but he was very good in his press conference yesterday

the only time I've been 'uncomfortable' with booing was some Essendon player (possible Kyle Hardingham I can't recall) being booed by his own supporters. Felt sorry for the bloke , playing for that club and coping it from his own campaigner 'supporters'.

People booed him because he 'liked' some really abhorrent and grotesque homophobic tweets. Good - people should get booed (at the very least) for that sort of shit.

Think of all the Cats fans (and footy fans in general) who he made to feel like shit because of his social media activity. A good old fashion booing won't compare to how he made a portion of society feel.

Good footy player, ******* of a bloke.

Then there's the last group. It is by far the biggest group of people who are booing. These are the people who are booing because they are sheep. They don't have any real reason for booing except for "because everyone else was". It's an easy sound to make, and it sounds very loud when thousands are doing it at once. But above all else, it doesn't require you to think. It's the most basic form of sledging and it doesn't require you to think of something witty, articulate it while yelling, or deal with the social repercussions if it lands flat and fails to get a laugh.
And then there are the wolves dressed up as sheep. The list goes on.

His post was anti gay in line with his beliefs, but why are we choosing to be only offended by one part of his post? I know I'm going to hell according to the post, just don't get the outrage.
View attachment 660333

I'm probably guilty of seven of the eight sins and cannot repent as per being Atheist, I'm not outraged
It really pisses me off that Gaz is labelled as just a homophobe when he is so clearly intolerant of so many others in society as well. You know, theres plenty of shitbags out there who are on the piss, or thieven or whatever who would agree with Gaz being a homophobe, because they are too, and it just diminishes the whole conversation to isolate this aspect. He needs to be held to account for everything that was said.

Who's pissed off on behalf of drunks and adulterers and liars and thieves and, oh hell, just stop right there and have a look at youself Gaz. Your old man must be the absolute devil now you stop and think about it. People have their issues, their foibles or whatevers, but your old man is a first class shitbag, junkie, scum of the earth.. Mind you, it does me no good to imagine any of these puppets think their going to hell, Ill just let them know what campaigners they are right here and now in reality.

But I want to put the acid on you, you squeeling little hypocrite. As ive already noted, your old man, and Ill add - plenty of other family members, are scum of the first order. Absolutely should be in gaol and put in the stocks, spat on in the street. Spare me your imaginary punishments and answer for the shit lives you lead now in this one. Pottle, kettle black and all that, or maybe something about glass houses Gaz

I look at you Gaz as a failure, as leader, as captain of the Gold Coast Suns. Failed so badly, it was bordering on theft, with you impersonating a club captain, and playing for yourself and cheap Brownlow votes. Theft Gaz. You robbed that franchise of any chance of success. You took the cash under false pretences. But it doesnt stop there. In the absence of your leadership, while you were off leading the prayer group, half the club was in a drug taking free for all. You failed so badly, it flourished. You were in effect, by your failure, an enabler of the drug taking culture, and all those young lads being set on a path to hell. You did that. Hope you can seen the stain of their blood on your hands. Weigh that shit up as you count your money and your Brownlow votes. Chip scabbing sook.

Boos? I was genuinely surprised to hear it so loudly. And pleased. It wasnt till I started reading through here that I realised there are so many differing views as to why we've been booing though. Its gonna piss me when someone decides they're an authority on the matter and declares its for reason X, despites there being views A through to Z expressed here. At least we wont be labelled racists this time. I hope.

I dunno, where does it end? Folaus, intollerant views can be matched by the equally vile views of the racists in calling for his kind to be shipped back to wherever they came from. 'Crazy coconuts and their bible bashing ways can **** off'. Yeah? Ive heard the sentiment expressed a few times up in Sydney, maybe with added relish given ScoMo is seen having highlighted and tarnished the rep of his brand of religion.

And credit to you Bumps, you sound like a fornicating high achiever if ever there was one. 7 outta 8 is not too shabby and I salute you. A life well lived. May you keep up the good work.

Hawks by 10 goals against the bluebaggers this week.

Just remember, friends, that whatever happens it is Hawthorn’s fault.
Asked if was fearful the booing of Ablett would continue, Hocking said: ‘‘You wouldn’t want it to. I do remember him being booed in the 2008 grand final.’’

He's carrying some baggage alright.

He is Geelong scum, of course he is carrying baggage. There isn’t a Geelong soul that isn’t still burning 10+ years later. He is no different

Every time an AFL darling gets booed, the AFL and it’s puppets (media) look for excuses for it.

First Goodes, now little ******* Gary who for years has been the umpires pet and always gets looked after.

Maybe the general public just don’t certain players. To tell the general paying public that they can’t boo certain players, that sounds like censorship and most people don’t like being dictated to. Booing in sport has been happening since the first caveman shit throwing contest, most other sports encourage it, especially if they think it’s going to give their team an advantage. Let it run it’s course rather than inflaming the situation and only sooking about which players us supporters can and can not boo and cheer for.

With Adam Goodes, I don’t really care for him. Anyone that bullies a child is a piece of shit imo. Yes she made that comment, which from appearance was said through ignorance rather than being intentionally malicious. To name and shame, in order to humiliate her was more malicious than her ignorance. It could have been dealt with in a better way.

Israel Folau will no doubt get another multi-million dollar contract in some other rugby country: there is big money in France and Japan.

The irony of that list is that none of them are referred to in Christian teachings.
But the weird religious offshoots interpret these things as they wish!

.
The irony is you have no idea. As someone who went to a catholic school and understands the bible (although have not studied it like I did as a kid), I can tell you that both the old and New Testament reference it’s condemnation of all those topics Israel posted about.

Do you want me to make you look even less informed by scouring online bibles just to prove my point?

Whilst I don’t subscribe or believe in what Israel said/posted, his views are inherently insensitive and prehistoric.. I really don’t think it was the reason GAJ was booed, he has been booed and jeered many many times.

You’re obviously passionate about the topic.

FWIW - I would also be going to hell just like bumps, but instead of belittling Israel and taking away his livelihood and professional career, I’d love for the powers to be to sit down with him and understand how he got to the point where he felt he needed to publicly shame so many. Damn, I’d love to sit down with the guy, he is a fascinating character, someone who seems to have a soft public persona with boyish looks and natural charisma. There has to be something amiss for him to post something like that.

GAJ as we know is deeply religious and that is totally cool, as much as you may think religion or believing in something greater than us/here is crazy, those that believe feel the same about you. There needs to be an understanding and acceptance of all people’s views and beliefs, this is where the 2 sides of politics and the “right and left” are worlds apart.

Anyway, long live the booing, people can do it and I actually think it’s cool that our supporters may have started a trend with GAJ who is, as you said a little campaigner.

The problem is that it then turns into an all in shit fight on social media which the AFL can’t control. If Gaz “isn’t spoken to” then other footy players come out and exercise their free speech and call him a knob

The Freedom of Speech argument is an interesting one often raised in Australia when in fact, it does actually legally exist here

To add - freedom of speech generally applies to governmental actions, not to ones contractual obligations
Freedom of speech applies, unless ur julian assange and ur saying things a particular government doesnt like. Or if you report criminal activity in australian politics for that matter.

Some ******* that called SEN at about 3am last night was saying that Hawthorn fans drove goodes out of the game and now theyre doing the same to ablett ******* lol. What a joke, some people are so incredibly precious. Goodes was a campaigner when he played and extremely unlikeable with some of the shit he did(knees first, posturing for frees, pointing at umps)

Maybe it’s because he likes money a little too much for an apparent Christian. But I guess he’s not alone there

The real Jesus said many many times more things about greed etc than the minor sins listed by folau (who also isn’t averse to plenty of $$$$$)

Let’s just say if I was a Geelong fan, I wouldn’t have been welcoming him back. Especially as he actually said it was brain dead fans which partly drove him away

Anyway isn’t calling his dad god and him baby Jesus ...Er what’s that archaic term......Blasphemy? Could have got you the best seat at a barbecue a few centuries ago

If he was not such a sanctimonious hypocrite Flog then he would not get booed.

Don’t come out and say “I only liked his post because it takes courage to state your position” when we all know the real reason why he liked the Flogs post.

When our media gives a platform to ignorant bigots like Pauline Hanson, it shows you how hypocritical their handwringing over any of their sacred cows (Goodes, #sobrave Jobe, li’l Gaz) being booed is.
