Booing ?

[Burgs]

Welcome aboard to JamesBrown, look forward to your input and "soulfull" opinion!
I'd forgotten to coment on this one, I agree with what you say there JB, except with the provision for showing displeasure at Richard Loe style eye gouge or the like, but even then I don't think I would use "booooooo", it would be more of a verbal tirade of the individuals parentage.
As unacceptable as booing, so to is filthy play.
I like what you say re setting the example to kids though and support that.
After copping a bit of a serve from the crowd during the Chiefs match, I was quite proud of those who stayed behind to cheer the team off.
I think that in general we have a good hearted core of supporters for the Force and by continuely setting the right example the rest will follow.
Once the first season is under our belts then decent supporter chants and the like will develop (still yet to hear what was going to be the "Official" victory song from RugbyWA?) and the rugby heart will grow from there onwards in WA.

Welcome to JB and congrats on an excellent first post and a superb opinion. Keep up the good work.

Booing is Bollocks! You are better off shouting that an individual players contract should be terminated immediately and the referee and his seeing eye dog should vacate the ground immediately!

Gee Coach the anti-swearing program you have in place works really well!!!!

I reckon its OK to boo some pretty ordinary decisions by the refs, and also the opposition players, whenever they commit to foul play or not; booing your own side for poor play is NEVER acceptable.

***Remember that the opposition players normally find being booed at as a sign that they are playing well for their team, and are getting under the home crowd's skin!!!

Boo the ref's when they make a blatently shocking decision...

it's what they are there for

[Catdog]

[Burgs]

am un-educated fool

Is there a word for that? I do it all the time, misspelling intelligent or the like!
Sorry to sound negative so early on Catdog, it's not intended
Welcome to the site and I look forward to many a post from you in the future!
If you feel the urge, have a dig around the forum and find the threads on past playing experiences etc to give us a bit of an idea of your public self.

What about It's OK to boo:
"Whenever Wendel Sailor touches the ball!"

[Sagerian]

Hehe yeah, kudos to the 3 people trying to start a wendell chant. We shot it down pretty good.

And Kudos to Sage for using the word kudos in almost every post since you came back from Perth. New word for the day mate?

[Sagerian]

If I'm not saying kudos, I'm saying muchos kudos.

Ahhh Muchos graciaos per favor

I'm happy to boo foul play, bad reffing... and my team choosing to kick a penalty goal when they've got a 20 point lead with 5 minutes to go and only 3 tries hence no bonus boint resulting in an away final... not that I'm bitter

[Burgs]

Let it go Moses....
Welcome along by the way
