the last game i was at was the Sydney game
and after the game i heard booing but when i looked around it was about 3-4 people. Not sure if this is the same at all games but to me dont base everyone on one person
but it is classic boti, i dont think im yet to read something from boti and not feel offended

What are we discussing here, 4000-5000 people booing or a dozen or so.

Those not attending the games might perceive the majority of the crowds have turned against the team, which is not the case. The crowd is still supportive and the games are still reasonably well attended given the circumstances.

In the example of the Sydney game I am convinced that the majority of the booing was directed towards the referees not the team.

Yeah were not Americans. Never Boo the Sixers! The only time I've ever booed at a Sixers game was when Julius stomped the floor. This is our city, our team, our court!
These bad times happen to every franchise, it just means when we win our next title one day it's gonna taste f@kn sweet!

If anyone did honestly boo at the team, please admit it on this forum. Not because I want to know who they are, but to actually see if fans are booing their team. Like TC said, it was aimed at the refs. The last Adelaide/Sydney game went to overtime where some of the refs' calls were very questionable up until that time. I would not be surprised if there was booing after that game and aimed at the refs.

This coming from a guy who is very quick to stick the knife into any player or coach he doesnt like or get a long with

2 faced indeed

yeah,not a huge fan of booing in general......maybe it should be just a hometown roar of some sort ??
i know one thing, booing is really hard to explain and justify to my kids...they dont know if it is rude/disrespectful or joking.(they are 9&7yrs)

Boti is correct- booing is not a good sign of sportsmanship, but can he justify the role of a coach taking 'cheap shots' at opposition female players so that they might become upset enough to give his team an edge?
Bot er Pot calling the kettle black!

Is anyone still running with this "most knowledgable" thing besides Boti? I find it a bit embarrassing and was going to see how long the season could run without it getting raised. Every city is going to have its hardcore fans, surely.

I sat bhack and waited with breathe at what the response would be at the sydney game.

I firmly believe the booing was an indirectly aimed towards crosswell who threw the ball outta play several times and also maybe at Weigh given he gets good time and did little(for that game).

The refs at thwe sydney game were deplorable but funnily enough, the reffing agsinst melbourne was actually pretty fair. in saying that, you can have a good game, and lose butif the refs are standard, then im happy. if not, they add to the loss.

i think boti should worry about writing positive comments rather than ear bashing others.

The most knowledgable fans..........I agree it is cringe worthly stuff. Comparing our fans to the knicks / madison square garden fans is like chalk and cheese. I'd like to drop it as well

It's a fair comparison, they both boo the home team!

I thought people were booing the refs after that Sydney game. Was at the soccer last night and although United were mostly really average, I think it was the refs getting booed then because of a few bad calls.

Booooooooti

Booooooooti

Anyone go to freakonomics at all? It's a great website by an economist and a journalist to which they make observations about society. It's entertaining stuff.

Worth checking out as they discuss booing.

Why do people like the above thread think cos they buy a season tickets they can do what they want, do people really think our players are not trying, do people really think the players, club and owners are not hurting at the performance.

Seriously people lets be sensible, oh of course these are probably the same people that think Boti is a genius when he rights something to trash the club but when he has a go at the "i spend $300 to do what I want people" then he is apparently crap and no one reads him anymore.

We do not have the most knowledge but sometimes we can be the most pathetic.

Serioulsy some people do need to grow up.

Same happens in AFL there are idiots everywhere, Richmond fans spat on Spud Frawley. Crows fans didn't treat Robert Shaw much better either.
