Id doesn't happen everywhere just in places like the socker infested city that is the capital of antrim.

have to agree with niamh, we played fremanagh 4 times in last 2 yrs and each time a lot of their supporters behavior towards players and opponents fans was pretty disgustin

might be common in antrim tir na nog, why should these non proffessionals be subjected to this (not that proffessionals should be either), might be why nsg is turning a blind eye to it as well. forget about it, its done, over and we all have clearly different opinions on it

Tom 1916

Yet again your anti belfast sentiments coming through ever so slightly, i presume they dont boo anyone on the hill when the dubs are playing or in Crossmaglen? What a lot of garbage tom and you know it youve been here before you dont like Belfast so what.

We dont only just have different opinions on it, some of us also obviously have selective hearing on the issue at hand also.

It does happen everywhere, as you may know Antrim are not to good at the football so I tend to go to other Games of interest, like I have been to a few of the Ulster matches this year. I have been going to football matches for years and on quite a few occasions there is booing - its just part and parcel of playing in big games. For how many years has the dubs booed a player taking a free into the hill?? Has there ever been a problem with this. I have been at county matches that players get booed for having made a bad challenge - again part and parcel of the game, fans chant "off, off, off" when fans think that there is an a chance that the ref might send a player off.

This has all been going on for years as i have witnessed on many occassions and really don't see what the big uproar is about it now.
Some players bring it on themselves for the way some of them celebrate after scoring or the way they are behaving in a game.

And as for you Tom1916 if your not goina post anything useful don't bother doing it - your post means nothing to me as I am not from Belfast but if that has all you have to come out with your pathetic - I do believe there is a bit of soccer played in Armagh - and also Belfast is home to many GAA clubs aswell as soccer!!

Think a dig at other counties and soccer is a bit low folks.
NSG even though you prob dont believe me a Fermanagh fan in the McGrane stand beside me said that he was embarrased by the booing. I know what i heard,you can argue your point as well,but this could go round in circles for a while.

anyone willing to post a message on this board should be willing to take the flack or just don't bother posting a message for those who have found themselves attacking the fermanagh fans should try and get a copy of this weeks fermanagh hearld to see how ulster unionist MLA tom eillott quoted saying how delighted the majority of the unionist people of fermanagh were glad fermanagh were beaten it seems to me that those people attacking fermanagh should maybe jion tom eillott and the ulster unionist fermanagh fans has had to put up with lot maybe it would suit those so called gaa fans and gaels to join me and condem tom eillott and those who oppose the gaa and what it stands for and may i add that all good unionist people dont behave like that now theres something to write about joe cassidy fermanagh.

Sean og thats fair enough there was fermanagh fans booing so boo friggidy whoo. What im saying is how can you single out fermanagh for it when armagh where doing it too? I was at the match and i know what i heard. Like you said this is going round in circles.

Who? the tv commentators?

Samin

Your the one with the selective hearing, you hear fermanagh fans booing but you didnt hear the armagh ones doing the same? Grow up ya eejit and get off the orange tinted glasses.

NSG

how many times have i to say, armagh had prats doing it but they were doing it individually or in small groups, fermanagh fans were doing it in there 100's and 1000's. go and watch the replay and tv and then tell me why the commentators said they were disgusted with the booing any time armagh had a free kick, then find a piece where they mentioned the armagh fans booing a fermanagh player taking a kick. Please explain why they commented on fermanagh and not armagh.

NSG there is no sense in getting into a debate with you,this post wasnt even started by Armagh fans. As i said booing isnt the end of civilization,its the fact that you try to equate one being as bad as the other,if you were really at the game,you know that not to be true,and why you are arguing that point,is frankly baffling!!

sean og (Armagh) - Posts: 1072 - 31/07/2008 12:44:04    62053

Why did they choose one set of supporters over another? I dont know, at the same time what think i know is you must be refering to the bbc commentators? If so they have obviously never commentated on the Dubs in croker, so we'll just put there comments down as being the BBC, if it was the RTE commentators then all i can say is ha. Your a good poster samin obviously a bit more conservative than me but I boo at games i also sing and chant. I have a bit of an ambition to stand on the hill with the dubs to sing chant and boo as i have with antrim, armagh, tyrone, fermanagh fans in recent years and days haha. Does this make me a bad person? Does it make Stevie from killeavy a bad person that he scored a goal then had to rub in in ronan gallaghers face? My friend this is part and parcel of big match games, if i was ever beside someone who asked me to stop doing it i would, weather it was an opposing fan or not, its part annd parcel of championship atmosphere. When ive supported ulster teams against the dubs i use to love hoping they would silence the hill (most times they did hehe), it was a part of the day playing these teams with loud rowdy supporters, the way i see it so long as they dont spit, throw objects or fight with opposing fans i cant see the problem its all in good humour. Thats me finished with it every set of fans has there 100's or 1000's that do it so what get on with the game these boys shouldnt be on the pitch if theyre not prepared to face hill 16 at some stage in there career whats so different about hill in clones?

NSG

why didnt you just say you were one of the boo-boys and say that you think its fine. firstly commentators commented on fermanagh for the simple reason they were worse. maybe what you thought was armagh fans booing was actually you and you're mates own booing ringing in you're ears :) thirdly stevie mcdonnell confronted gallagher about running his studs down his leg as he was taking the shot not rubbing it in about the goal. And finally i have been at many a dublin match and the booing from the hill is nowhere near as bad as clones last week. We will agree to disagree, as you find nothing wrong with it anyway i dont see why you are continuing to argue about it. its done and dusted. You for croke park this weekend?
