Essendon fans booing.

[Upgrayedd]

Horrible club booing our Anzac game . Not surprised however

 

[Stax on the mill]

I hate Essendon but that was disgusting. The worst umpiring display I’ve seen in my life.

Rightfully booing

Bombers got reamed. Disgusting umpiring

Nonsense. Umpires did their utmost to keep the Bombers in the game to ensure a close finish. Pies won in spite of the umpires.Collingwood by far the better team

 

[Scotland]

2020 ANZAC Day no Essendon.

 

[Zoom]

Nothing wrong with the booing. Good on them for taking a stand against blatant match fixing.

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

If the bombers got up, the other 50% would have been going nuts. Do you want involved fans or golf claps?

 

[Jaeger]

What the Essendon fans don't realise, is that they get a very good run from the umpires most weeks. Just one of those teams that gets a lot of the 50-50 calls and soft decisions in their favour, and are only penalised when it's an obvious infringement.

So on a rare day like today when some decisions don't go their way, it's unfathomable to them. Now they are collectively having a "does not compute" meltdown.

 

[jackster83]

I was saying boo-urns.

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Boo your team for being shit year after year.

 

[bigfarter]

What Facebook post did Pendlebury 'like' to garner such a reaction?

 

[B4Bear]

A day to commemorate ANZAC Day will be remembered for the umpiring.

Says it all about the AFL and the money that controls their actions.

 

[Young Gun #6]

Nonsense. Umpires did their utmost to keep the Bombers in the game to ensure a close finish. Pies won in spite of the umpires.Collingwood by far the better team

I tipped and bet on Collingwood and hate Essendon.

It’s not hard to see out of us two who is going to be the unbiased one..

Disgusting non holding the ball and high tackle calls landing in Collingwood’s favour.

 

[Milux]

Umps deserve to be booed. Disgraceful.

Agree with that. But the lack of respect shown to pendles as he took to the mic was disgusting. I hate the pies as much as anyone but that's not called for.

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

Why are you surprised about the way they behave?

 

[Yidaki]

Pretty shit to boo Pendles like that. They could have at least let him speak. Good on bucks for calling them out. They literally went silent after that.

 

[The King!]

Who’s surprised? They supported them blindly through the saga

 

[Donakebab]

Yeah I won't be taking moral directions from a piece of shit that wipes blood on people.

 

[revo333]

It was almost as bad as Collingwood supporters jeering Andrew Mcleod when he went down injured in the 2002 PF.

 

[bauschy88]

Booing was distasteful at that particular moment... granted the umpiring was unbelievably shocking. However.. as bad as they were, Shiel was a lot more costly & i would say cost the bombers the win

 

[FootyGeek]

No respect for a sacred day. They should be removed from the game and a team whose supporters respect the day and not take it for granted should be given the opportunity.

 

[kendrick]

People pay to watch the sport.

Are we now as a society going to stop booing at sporting events?

It happens in every sport in the world..

Will ppl be kicked out for booing.. The Afl needs to be careful just how much a dictatorship it wants to hold over fans as eventually ppl will walk away

 

[OhhDeledio]

Nonsense. Umpires did their utmost to keep the Bombers in the game to ensure a close finish. Pies won in spite of the umpires.Collingwood by far the better team

You have to be taking the piss must be nice knowing that you get to play with 3 extra players every week

There's a time and place to boo though. Booing pendles while he was talking is just uncalled for.

 

[JayJ20]

OMG. No one booed Pendlebury. Stop twisting it and coming up with a narrative that wasn't there.

 

[Saint Shags]

All well and good to boo the umps off the ground. But the fact that there were loud sections who were happy to boo over the top of RSL reps on a day like today, speaks volumes for the type of people they are.

 

[Hollow Knight]

They are “allowed” to boo but **** them if they try to claim they were booing the umps during Pendlebury’s speech. Laughable spin.

Handled perfectly by Buckley. Class.
