Booing off an injured player.

[One Teddy Maybank]

Little booing - mostly applause from where I was

 

[Meade's Ball]

Indeed, it's as god-awful and evil as excitedly jeering the withering legs of a dying wicked witch. As soon as we go into the arena then we're all play-acting in our own ways, so it's probably not best to take it too seriously when the booing moments happen to coincide unknowingly with someone in real life being hurt. Hardly an instance of disgrace.

I must admit there was some booing heard as the stretcher was going up, in WSL. Weird, and sad.

 

[Rookie]

There was booing when Calde went off which died down but when their player was stretchered off there was definitely booing from a small minority of the crowd. Was it aimed at the ref, I have no idea but it didn't sound good and can clearly be interpreted as aimed at their player (that was sitting in the East)

 

[MissGull]

How can you possibly tell who they were booing? The ref made a blunder and Edinburgh was playing the fool so surely everything you heard could have been aimed at either of them.

Absolutely. Around me, in the WSL there was unanimous clapping for the player and then some booing for JE's behaviour and the ref decision. Not at the same time.

There was booing from some morons in the North Stand. If it was about Calde, bizarre, because he'd been back in the dressing room for almost ten minutes. And it coincided with the guy being stretchered off as the majority applauded. Pathetic.

 

[The Large One]

I think you are mistaking the booing, which was aimed at the ref for the red card and also for JE who acted poorly IMO. I was WSL and everyone stood and applauded the unfortunate lad who got injured.

There was booing when Calde was sent off (at the ref, Calde was applauded). That incident was done and dusted.

Then a couple of minutes later, the player was carried off. There was applause for him, but also booing.

If you're saying the booing was for the ref while he was being carried off, I don't agree - that had already happened.

At the very best, it was highly ambiguous who the booing was for, at worst it was - as Merry Prankster puts it - a new low for a minority of Brighton fans.

 

[Chicken Runner61]

The booing at the time the player was stretchered off was moronic - if it wasn't aimed at him why boo then?

This - it's as it was for me and those around me in wsl.

People saying that they were booing the ref are kidding themselves. As the stretcher was lifted a group of people (towards the NW corner by my ears) started to boo as the vast majority applauded.

Made us look awful and almost gave that arse Edinburgh a reason to behave like he did, especially so seeing how the Newport fans respected our applause for Roy Chuter.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

The boos were mainly from the North Stand, it was a small majority of idiots who did it.

Was gonna write on this thread but no need to "you took the words right out of my mouth"

 

[LargeHadronZugzwang]

The person next to me really should not have said "You are too fat to be a good player..." to Crow their No.9 by the line, as he promptly went past two players and put the ball in the right hand corner of the goal.

"you took the words right out of my mouth"

Must have been while you were... no.

Err... people do actually know why they were booing. We were booing the ref.

No joke red card, no booing the ref - it's as simple as that.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Post shitty behaviour rationalisation not withstanding.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I was booing the clappers.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

people were booing while the player was being stretchered off...in fact it started when the stretcher was lifted off the ground

regardless of who you were booing, to everyone else you appeared to be acting like dicks....you need to work on your timing

Why did people start booing, when the stretcher was lifted off then ?

Wasn't that booing aimed at Edinburgh and the County bench for their ungentlemanly antics ? There again there might be a few cretins in the North Stand booing Anthony for escaping a red card.
