North supporters and booing.

[goswannie14]

I think you are being a bit sensitive. Goodes is booed, on the most part, because he is a good player (and he seems to get away with a bit at the tribunal). Magic was probably being booed cos he was shooting at goal. You look at most good players with a bit of flair about them and they will get booed...that is what opposition supporters hate most, quality and a certain arrogance. Ask most people who don't follow the swans and Goodes will be up there in their most hated.

I don't think Magic had a set shot yesterday, that's why I noticed it. It was mainly from the (I think it is) members area at the Lockett end under the scoreboard. Which is the opposite end to where most Swans supporters were sitting, so it may not have been noticable from that end.

Not a real fan.

Please explain?

Please explain?

Joke.

You're not a real fan if you don't follow the "norm".

[goswannie14]

Please explain?

Thanks Pauline.

Did antyone else notice the racist booing by North fans at the weekend. Almost every time Goodes or O'Loughlin got the ball they were booed. It didn't happen to any of our other players though (except when shooting for goal, which is understandable).

I wished they would have booed Bolton, I know I was.

didnt we play the kangaroos the week after goodesy got off for striking that demons player? im pretty sure they boo'd him like hell that day. thats the first thing i thought when i heard the booing on sunday, except they were now booing about two tribunal decisions.

I asked the north supporter behind me. I also asked a mad keen and long time kangaroos supporter I know well who was at the game. same answer: It has got nothing to do with race. They just feel he has had a good time with the tribunal over a number of years and ther eis a belief he should have copped a suspension that never happened.

I am cool with that. The more the crowd boos him the more focussed he becomes. In adversity and choas leaders rise.

Please - will all opposition supporters clubs boo him.

How does that explain them booing O'Loughlin as well, or can they really not tell them apart?

We had an incident with a @@@@@@@@ North fan in the tier above us after the game. He was mouthing off and things got pretty heated, with police & security having to step in.

Then the Cheer Squad president said "Happy Greek Easter!" & he got all defensive saying "I'm not Greek. I swear I'm not Greek".

There is still a lot of hate for North Melbourne in some of us. The legacy of 1999 & the way they tried to infiltrate the Sydney market through the most dubious of means was re-ignited well & truly.

If one more North supporter calls us the "AFL darlings" I'll hit him, I swear. The thing is, if they moved their gypsy club north permanantly they'd get the support from the AFL that we have had as well.

I saw the incident. I thought he was being a knob. And gave him the time of day he deserved. Nothing, and walked on.

Calm down "AFL darling"..... Sounds like you South's supporters are getting a bit precious. I still remember when your jumper was a red V.

Nope... But I hear the nurse coming with your medication pops.... Time to up the dosage... You'll have yourself a heart attack with all this excitement!
