Essendon fans booing.

[windyhill]

Banned teams, Essendon 1 the rest of the comp nil

And still behind us.

Good god you’re in agony aren’t you? I reiterate: Essendon = awful, awful club with awful, awful supporters. You are the absolute bottom feeding scum of the AFL, and days like today show that to the world.

If the pies are up in arms about us booing pendles, then by that logic your mob won’t boo anyone ever.

Your mob were booing Sheed.

Your mob booed Riewoldt at the ANZAC day parade when he was trying to speak.

16-15.

Clubs caught salary cap cheating in a flag year.

Essendon: 1* - 1993
*Ricky Nixon made it pretty clear it happened in 2000 too with Lloyd & Hird.

 

[smiddaz123]

Seriously, it makes no sense at all

And yet, they did it. Any reason they weren't booing the guys presenting the medal and waiting for the exact moment Pendlebury started speaking?

Probs a coincidence.

 

[MagpieJo]

Didnt realise the entire team was banned?

Near enough!

 

[windyhill]

Of all clubs to be offended.Of All Clubs, not many of you petals went to Vic Park did you

 

[mxett]

You're a funny man mxett, i suppose you asked them all why they were booing?

I think it's perfectly obvious. I felt the frustration myself when he was speaking

 

[SherbertLemon]

I’m over it. You over the loss?

Slow clap for your wit.

Your banter must be on point.

 

[Seedsfan]

why would fans hang around after the game to boo Pendles? What if he didnt win the medal? Then "oh shit, what do we do now"?

Just to boo what ever Collingwood was going to win.

 

[boltsbabyblues]

Have I offended you in a past life or something? I can make assumptions too- you are 12 and enjoying your day off school.

The rant at the end wasn't directed specifically at you, was more of a general vibe

 

[Ice-Wolf]

Collingwood = classy
Essendon = not classy

Since when? Collingwood have never been classy.

 

[LoungeLizard]

I think it's perfectly obvious. I felt the frustration myself when he was speaking

so you really don't know, but just thought you say it anyway?

 

[nickh32]

Near enough!

Your mob would know about near enough. Plenty of times you’ve finished runner up in the grand final.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Essendon fans a are pigs. Who'd have thought?

Well at least Pigs can claim that they have teeth

 

[Reg Grundy35]

So you've formed a view that umpires can influence games, my views are in direct contrast to that, either way, we're both entitled to an opinion. Mine seems to be that of the minority which doesn't bother me. I maintain the umpires had very little impact on the game, letting Collingwood go out to a 5 goal lead probably had something to do with it though, but keep looking through those red and black glasses.

no mention of the two soft frees that gifted them goals. quite a melt down actually

well Pendles did mention the crowd, and they responded by expressing how they felt. Shame for Pendles, he didnt deserve that, but it doesnt mean it was at him

It was the grand final parade, I don’t think big nick served long enough to march in the Anzac parade

 

[Aishole]

Get off your high horse.

Pendlebury was a respected player.

Until he decided to be a ducking cheat.

Deserves the boos.

Just like Buckley for knifing Brisbane all those years ago then malthouse.

Karma

Boo him for ducking all you ****ing want. I don’t give two shits about boo’ing. Im sure you did boo him when it happened, thats great!!

But the game is over, and it is the ANZAC day award ceremony. Have some class.

pretty much

Ive seen this comparison so many times and quite frankly its just rubbish.

Sheed will always be the villain in the eyes of Collingwood supporters. The player who kicked the winning goal against us. Of course they're going to boo him first game since then. Big deal what a terrible problem to have. I wish one of our players was being booed by opposition fans for kicking a winning GF goal.

Its not malicious or sinister booing. They're not being disrespectful by booing him. Its part of the theatre from a historic moment in GF history.

Yep, and beating carlton was the cherry on top. Uh-oh, that might trigger 1970, 1979, 1981 memories.....

 

[Andronicus]

You don't have to like the umpiring but to boo like they did is a disgrace! Good on you Bucks.

Call out your supporters Xavier- make a statement (never going to happen though)

Your fans do it just as badly. Both of them.

Just isn't heard.

 

[mxett]

give the 'ANZAC day award ceremony" a spell. It's a game of football and the players and fans will act like they do at any other game of football

Ok fair enough. What about the Riewoldt one?

 

[3rdMan]

Pendles does the right thing and thanks the crowd, but a fair few of them dont want to be thanked, they want to show their frustration. It wasnt for Pendles, it was the result

Which they'd already been doing for 5 mins post match.

During the medal ceremony is a time to show a bit of respect. This wasn't even a game you nearly won as you never hit the front. It's frustrating to get close, but much tougher when you've been winning and had it snatched away. This game was the Pies all the way, the Bombers just almost stole it, they never owned it.

Most fans accept booing during a game or displeasure at umpiring. Once that's been done and has come to a stop, as it had here, it's poor form and very unusual for it to start up again as a player accepts a medal. I can only remember this happening in a derby when Judd won the medal in a losing effort (wow, back in 2006). Plenty of games with poor umpiring decisions and tough losses, but behaviour like we saw today is very, very rare.
