How do you stop an angry collective demonstrating their displeasure to a sh!te umpiring performance in a game that was hugely competitive with edge of the seat anticipation everywhere? Yep, they should've stopped, but it's footy and there's emotion and beer involved amongst 1000's. Pendlebury was a clear BoG and is a very fair footballer imo. He deserved that medal whether they won or not and didn't deserve to hear what he did, even if it wasn't about him.nudder12 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2019 12:24 am .........
Considering there was no-one on the field that deserved the booing at the time, then why did it happen? Are fans too dim to realise their "villians" have left the stage?
TBH, I'm a bit tired of the "they have a right" defence - these days everyone thinks they have a "right" to everything - but it doesn't make them right.
EFC fans weren't happy when Hird got booed at the GF Norm Smith presentation, and it's pretty much the same scenario - wrong time, wrong place.
The more that AFL boss twat craps on about what he thinks about booing, the more he encourages it. One way to make an Ozzie do something is to tell him he shouldn't. Buckley made a single statement and moved on trying not to add to it. Much wiser.
