What is it with Geelong and BOO ?

[blackey]

Seeing all this round's telecasts and it occurred to me why the games at Geelong were always a painful watch no matter which club you support.
The "Incessant Booing".
The Boo happens at most games, mixed with some quite intelligent comments / banter.
At Geelong games "Boo" is all you hear after every decision.

I thought it was just me though if you play all the replays for Rnd 15 so far its very noticeable.

Never watched an Essendon game?

Insufferable.

The AFL taught us that only racists boo.

Decent folk boo-urns.

Booing comes from Shocking and Wankley every time a free goes against the Cats.

AFL highlighted that racists boo particular players.

But some try to deny that happened.

They're shocking.
I was at a game (non-hawks) between them and I think it was stkilda (it's such a long time I'll have to go check the fixture), and they kicked like 10 in a row to start the game. Their opponent finally kicked 1, and you would swear they were going to jump the fence!

 

[Delisted]

They also enhance the noise with fake boo’s, cheers etc from the stadiums speakers. I’ve been told by ground staff it’s to make for a better atmosphere.

What's wrong with booing?

Nothing , but incessant booing of obvious correct decisions seems people have little understanding of the rules or they are just don't know they have.

Happens at every game - just more obvious with 1 sided crowds (ie cats, eagles, freo, crows).

All teams supporters are just as bad - any person that's think their club is somehow better is kidding themselves.

Footy fans don't know the rules, they only want their team to take advantage of them. Booing in sports has been around since competitive team sports games began.
