Essendon fans booing.

[Towelboy]

That’s no reason to boo Pendlebury!
!
Essendon got three first half goals from dodgy umpiring decisions in the first half.

And then in the last quarter Essendon missed out on a few frees in the back pocket. It’s not as if you were in scoring range for any of them.

You dominated for theee quarters but weren’t good enough to hit the front for even a minute of the game.

Timmy we got the best of it and it wasn't even close. Moore getting tackled on the wing and missing the ball was so blatant it was comical. Yes the in the back free they got was not there but what about Hooker outmarking Mason Cox?

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Maybe he should do it when collingwood fans boo other players. The booing of ablett in round 1 against the pies was disgusting. Where was buckley then? Saying sweet f** all.

Its not an issue when they do it!

Its only an issue when its done to them!

Essendon fans have a much celebrated history of booing. They did it to Salmon in the mid 90s and, as a more recent example, Stanton. Don't take it personally Collingwood

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

first of all, they weren't booing pendlebury. They were booing shitful umpires and the emotion carried through to the medal presentation. I agree it was out of line.

.

Agree that the Bombers fans couldn’t control themselves.

They might say they didn’t mean to boo Pendlebury or might feel guilty about it now but that’s exacty what they did. The volume was audibly louder when his name was announced and when he spoke....thanking the crowd. The umpires had left the ground by then.

You can’t rewrite history. Just own it.

This is it. The internet winning comment for the night. Thank you. I’m going to have another scotch. Cheers.

Remember when they dressed up in Mexican stuff?

I have no issues saying they should have stopped when the umps left the field. They deserved every single boo they got, pendles didn't and its a shame he was caught up in it.

As long as Buckley calls out Collingwood supporters the next time they boo someone then no issues here. He has had several chances this season alone and hasn't said shit.

The booing was audibly louder once Pendlebury was announced as the medal winner. And again while he was speaking.

They were booing Pendlebury.

Bombers fans drinking the Kool Aid and rewriting history once again.

numerous Essendon fans who were at the game have called in to SEN this morning to say they, and those around them, were booing the umpiring. Pendles just happened to step up and address Essendon fans.

To be honest, I found the chant of "Collingwood" during the introduction/addressing of the military guy at the presentations just as disrespectful in a way.

Our fans do it all the time and it's called great for the game happens to us and we cry bloody murder.

And they are talking rubbish.

The umpires had left several minutes beforehand. The Essendon supporters who booed should have left also

Did they explain why the booing got louder when Pendleburys name was announced or when he spoke? Did they suddenly get angrier at the umpires who were already in their change rooms?

The Collingwood chant was clearly a less numerous "away" supporter group drowning out the bitter booing of the home team

During medal presentations?

which is another point. Essendon fans remained at the game to voice their disgust at the umpiring and the result. They didnt hang around to boo the medalist just in case it was Pendles. To suggest as much is complete idiocy

2010 GF parade Timmy as Riewoldt was about to speak.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

2010 GF parade Timmy as Riewoldt was about to speak.

Yes that was poor, Pies fans own it. Also a long time ago. hardly doing it all the time.....much more recent is the respectful way we handled the 2018 GF loss that Eagles fans were impressed by.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

So it was an accident?

Pretty sure I heard those excuses from Hird and Thompson a few years back.

 

[mxett]

point is a proportion of supporters from every club act on emotion in the heat of the moment. Pie fans calling out bomber fans as if they are somehow worse is the height of hypocrisy

"He started it, mum!"

mate the hypocrisy from collingwood fans is unbelievable.

you are as good as anyone at booing the opposition.

We are all regretful that pendles was caught up in but **** me dead, you must have altitude sickness from that horse you are on.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Heat of what moment? The game was over. The umpires had left. The moment had passed.

To suggest this is not something wrong with hanging around to boo the anzac ceremony because you (incorrectly) believed you got robbed just highlights the depth of depraved bitterness that is the Essendon supporters pathology

 

[Towelboy]

We do it more than anyone else we are the last club that should be taking the moral high ground.

Exactly, every other supporter group would have f'ed off by then.....

not an accident, it was an opportunity. If you watch Pendles speech he addresses the Essendon crowd, and they reply with how they felt. I feel sorry for Pendles as he didnt deserve the response, but it wasnt meant for him
