to boo or not to boo (Jolly and Hall split thread)

[Kirkari]

A communal whip-crack should suffice!

Perfect!

[IrishSwanPerth]

Why would you boo? we would have never won grand final without them, bought of them have given all for the Swans, will Paul Roos boo them??
Bought will be remembered as Swans legends

[magic.merkin]

No Boo Barry.
Boo Jolly.
No boo Schneider.

[Trickster]

No Boo Barry.
Boo Jolly.
No boo Schneider.

Agreed-with the proviso that if Barry has a brain snap and hits one of our boys all bets are off!
I'm glad shrek has a second chance and is doing well (until he plays us then I hope he has a cruddy game)
Same for Schneider (and Buchanan-remember him?)
Jolly-well to go to another team because of a family situation is fine, to request to go to flipping crockingwood-you have to expect your old team supporters to give you grief and boo you

Re: to boo or not to boo (Jolly and Hall split thread)

And you know this how?
So Hall is allowed to play like crap in a GF, then spend the next few years flailing his fists at all and sundry everytime things don't go his way all because he "has problems with his love life" and that's ok, but Jolly lost us the flag because he played injured and his wife had a baby?

I know this because players don't run on their hands. His lack of run in that he allowed Cox free reign had to do with his energy levels and not his injured hands. As for Hall I agree with you regarding his behaviour as I've stated many times but he is our premiership captain and that makes all the difference.

Oh my. Booing Monty.....oh no I couldn't do that!!! It wouldn't be right. No, above all the others, no one dare boo Buchanan in my vicinity. Anyway he has a broken thumb, courtesy of his first game, and he was traded to Brissy after we asked him if it was ok, so we could get Braddles. Win Win. Noo, we are not going to be booing Monty......he kicked the goal that got us in front at the GF.....no, don't you dare.!!!!

[Triple B]

....and he was traded to Brissy after we asked him if it was ok, so we could get Braddles.

I agree with you about Monty and I'd be very surprised if anybody boos him. He just aint boo-able and certainly the circumstances surrounding his departure don't deserve it.

However he was traded to the Brians on the very first day of trading. Until Bradshaw got the call to fly down to have a look at the facilities at Princes Park late in the week, I doubt even Nostradamus would have foreseen the chain of events which led to him landing at the Swans.

So Blind Barry lines up for goal and no-one's gunna boo.

Sheeeeeeeessssssshhhhhhhhhh.

We boo EVERY OTHER OPPOSITION PLAYER going for a goal. What makes Blind Barry so special now??

Someone earlier said move on ... it's time to boo.

[Doctor]

Booing anyone as they line up for goal is different. Any opposition player doing that deserves whatever we can do to distract them.

Around the ground, as they run on and off and at other times of the game for me it's no to Hall, yes to Jolly. It's also no to Schneider (I always give him a cheer when he's announced) and no to Monty. In historical terms it was always yes to Shannon Grant and Anthony Rocca too.

[nomae]

Now to Cousins, I gave him "you're not a Tiger, you're a cheater" on the weekend, "CHEATER" was my call because that's what he was. We were robbed by drug cheats in the '06 GF no doubt about it. Cousins wasn't the only one on drugs but the others haven't been outed, so I won't say what my source told me. Don't worry folks, the names don't include our Seab's he's a good man.

Take a look at Cousin's play now, he can't run as fast, endure nearly as long, get up from big bumps as quickly nor has that ravaged desperate look in his eyes that meth addicts have. He's just a normal player now and I will never forgive him and some other players from the Eagles for not providing a fair game and stealing our '06 Flag."

Does anyone else actually believe this? Robert Walls can say all he wants but the notion that the eagles players' performances were boosted by illegal drugs to me is simply ridiculous.

We couldve won, we didnt, it sucks. end of story.

oh and for the record no way will I boo barry nor have I ever booed the schneiderman. Maybe a whip or two for Jolly.

[snajik]

Time to move on I reckon. The nature of football has changed. Clubs spit out players far more regularly than players demand a new team these days. Thought of booing the club for its role in cutting Schneider and Dempster, two premiership players? Did anyone question the character of Jolly for leaving Melbourne in the first place, or Mumford for taking the big bucks and joining us, Hall, Lockett?

At the end of the day the team is probably in better hands without Jolly all trades considered. So who cares?

Incidentally that p whipped expression screams 1950s anachronism. It simply implies that a woman should be subservient as opposed to having a capacity to contribute to the decision making process. Very Pete Campbell.

[ShockOfHair]

I boo Schneider when he is kicking for goal. What's the judgment on that?

He usually manages to miss without any help.

Not really. IMO these days it refers to someone whose opportunities are compromised by lack of support, need for control and general selfishness of his or her partner.

Hmmm. Sounds like a fairly subjective process. And why p whipped if it also refers to her partner?

No.
