To be fair while umpiring abuse has decreased the ability to get offended has increased much more.

"it would be a shame" does not mean the same as "people should stop yelling that the umpires a ******"

Ablett's homophobia has nothing to do with this thread, move along.

He's telling people they shouldn't boo Gary Ablett. A few weeks later he's saying what a waste of time it is to try to moderate the crowd's behaviour.

The only difference, as far as I can see, is that maybe Gary Ablett will be putting out a book and need a ghost writer, or perhaps he'll be good for an article in a month or two. The umpires? What point is there to keep them onside? No one gives a stuff about them.

Bloody good journo, Robbo. Consistent.

But wasn't Adam Goodes, according to journos like Robbo, booed out of the game because we are all supposedly "racist".

But Gary Ablett is white, so unless all the booers are Indigenous, then it isn't a race issue.

Maybe Goodes sooking up when he got booed, drove him out of the game, whereas Gazza just pats back the boos by tearing teams apart.

Maybe....just maybe.....people get booed for different reasons?

Adam Goodes is beside the point. I thought what happened to him was a disgrace and was proud that the Geelong supporters by-and-large refrained from booing him when he returned to playing at Kardinia Park.
