Booing one of our Own : Shameful !

[Thrawn]

Who said anything about society crumbling?

Can't be ignorant to the fact that social media has its pros and cons...

Reckon the world would be better off without sites like Facebook and Twitter.

 

[Thrawn]

Aside from Carey, head wobbling misogynist, could not stand the campaigner, the only other player who I booed, and almost jumped the fence was Milburn...

Who here was there that day??

Not during the game, but I was on this site when it happened.

 

[DirtyLeeds]

I was sitting in the Social Club when Milburn left the ground taunting the members, never seen/heard anything like it before or since, a level of anger unless you were there it's hard to describe. I hung around the back of the grandstand for a while with I reckon 500 really pissed baggers that day.

Constantly booing players is for idiots. The level of intelligence where you boo one of your own must be incredibly low.

Very disappointing if true, very very cringeworthy.

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

Oh come on now, i or most other decent footy fans had never found any reason to boo Goodes before that incident at the G with that Collingwood teenager.

Anyone who booed Goodes from that incident onwards was motivated by political and racist spite, and shame on any Carlton fan who booed him in those tough few years afterwards which really affected his mental and emotional health, and drove the champion away from the game, probably a year or two before he was done.

And yet here I am telling you I heard him booed before that, the reasons why I started not liking him, but that’s not good enough??

Did some unseemly types jump on and boo because of the circumstances? Absolutely. Don’t lump all of them in the racist category though because you’d be dead wrong

Never heard him booed before that incident aside from Hawthorn fans (which given their grand final history in the last decade, was fair enough)

 

[Accidental genius]

YEah I’m totally against booing full stop.

 

[Blueballs38]

Plow did his job Sunday …nuff said, I personally have love for the Plow.

Ill boo the team off after a 100 point loss with 22 passengers that day …. can’t say I’m proud of that but footy is an emotional game.

would never ever boo any player before a game or afte4 a win … thats just bs

 

[TENACIOUS]

Was at the game, didn't hear any booing for Plowman...

If there was and it was our own supporters, that's poor form...
Probably if anything it was Hawks supporters for hit on JOM last year, which is all part of the fun...

I only booed along with about 30k other Carlton supporters, at McKay's non paid mark

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

Well I certainly did, straight after he got off AGAIN for sliding in knees first

Like I said, there was pile on, some people are just inherently bad people, but not all people who did it did it out of racial motivation

For the record, I think booing is pretty juvenile behaviour and likely wouldn’t participate (Darren Milburn aside)

I do respect a person’s right to do it if it’s their thing though, as long as the reasons behind it are decent (or out of respect, eg Buckley, Carey etc)

As a hypocritical Twitter user, I absolutely agree

They have some great benefits but the hurt and evil that they can spread, I’m just not sure if it’s really worth said benefits

Social media gives everyone a voice. This isn’t necessarily a good thing…

 

[norway blue]

I don’t boo. But I harbour a feeling of get back into the game. A knowingness and want that only a fan could wish for Carlton after a nasty incident. Ok I did boo and went ballistic at the moment but sanity prevailed sort of.

YEah I’m totally against booing full stop.

Even when a sniping dog like Hodge intentionally bumps Wingard (then playing for PA) into a goal/point post head first?
Even when Barry Hall knocks out an unsuspecting Staker?

There is a time and place for it and that is when dog acts like the above occur.

 

[SurreyBlue]

As others have said, I too don't recall any such thing.

Please don't refer to a grown man as a kid.

I heard boos as well. Not sure from where or who but definetly heard them. Very upsetting to hear and like you was totally embarrassed.

There was booing after Harry wasn't paid the mark and after a couple janky decision by umpires. But I don't think it was directed at a player, more the officials.

How on earth that wasn't paid is beyond me. Total guess by the umpire for starters and it only happens to our forwards.

Yes ok maybe for dog acts but that’s it.

Why though?
Did fans getting riled up at Hodge or Hall change their approach at all?
Seems like a waste of time/emotion to me.

Harry got hands to it first but then it bounced off Hawk's back before he grabbed it the second time. I was pretty perplexed at the game but watching the replay the ump made the right call.

's head, I'd have booed.

 

[mediumsizered]

did you boo the old guy? old guy's often require booing.....

A friendly tap on the shoulder should be sufficient to wake up an old guy. Booing is a bit of an overreach.

 

[David Sylvian]

Was it like a jump out and scare you kind of boo? Did they yell “Boo Plowman Boo” or were they less specific? Was anyone booing the booers? Boo Hoo!
