Tonight i went to an A league game for the first time,when a player got on the whole stadium booed him,what the hell was that about?Has this ever happened to a 36ers player at a home game?

I can't remember an active Sixers player getting booed. I certainly remember an active Sixers coach getting booed. I definitely remember a former Sixers import getting booed.
I think you will find that was when Bruce Djite was brought on and the norm for the crowd is to chant bbrruuuuuuuce, to the untrained ear or rookie supporter it may have sounded like booooooo.
It is actually a sign of respect , same way the bulls fans would chant luuuuuuuke for luke longley in the day.

Yeah I remember getting confused by that when I first heard Sapwell on to the court to the "Roooooooooo" chant.

They weren't booing - it was a sign of respect for Bruce entering the game. Put your name to your post next time if your going to make poor statements
I asked three fans that were sitting in front of me they told me to f--- off & almost started a fight, that's why i am asking here.Yes the player was Bruce as i found out today.

Guys it would have been Bruuuuuuce. He was returning from injury and hadn't played for a month.

I have been a member of United for 6 year and don't think I have ever heard people boo their own player. I have heard it at the Sixers a number of times.
