North supporters and booing.

[goswannie14]

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).

On more than one occasion I yelled out at some of them that they were racist mongrels.

Am I being sensitive, or are they really as racist as it sounded at the game?

Didn't notice MOL, but definitely Goodes. He's now booed by opposition teams like Carey was.

You must have been sitting near Kanga.

I nopticed it particularly in the 3rd qrtr when he was at the end we were kicking too. maybe through their one eye, they can't tell the difference between the two.

Goodes was but it didn't start until he won a free kick. (which he may of may not have played for)
MOL seemed to start in the last qtr for some reason.

I don't understand why it would be racist, don't the Roos have a number of players with similar credentials to these too

ur being sensitive how can u determine if it was racist who cares what the opposition fans do

[reigning premier]

Don't think it has anything to do with race....

Has more to do with the tribunal result of a few weeks ago....

The fact that it was only directed at our two indeigenous players is what made me raise the question.

i get why you raised it but still could be for any reason at all not just because they are both aboriginal.

I noticed that Goodesy was booed frequently throughout the game and asked fam why the hell are they booing him? What has Goodesy done to the bushrats?

It wasn't me! I don't boo him or anyone else!

You are not being sensitive. Goodsey and MOL have been subjected to open racism particularly this season. More power to your elbow for telling them

[bloodboy]

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 have, however, continuosly heard supporters call out 'Sorry' when an aboriginal player gets a dicey free kick or something happens to them...that is not on. Heard a Swans supporter say it yesterday and it really irritates me...just blatant stupidity.

A tad sensitive I think.
Didnt hear it on Magic at all.
Goodseys tread a fine line, doesnt surprise me he gets booed , after all he has been a little lucky at the tribunal. North fans remember it because it was the game last year where he got let off the week before on hitting Simon Godfrey from behind.

Not a real fan.
