Speaks for itself 🤦‍♂️

The irony isn’t lost on me.

The Horne Francis booing in 2023 originated from a round 2 game between Collingwood and Port at the G and then spiralled out of control by Gather Round a few weeks later.

As @Ghostwriter put it last night, Crows supporters were booing Quanor for speaking up and getting Rankine in hot water as opposed to anything more sinister. Whether the booing was in poor taste is up to one’s personal judgment.

But the thing is quanor didn't report it. Officials heard the players talking about it after the game. Maybe adelaide supporters should be more angry with the way their team crumbled.

I cannot believe I'm defending Collingwood. On this issue I am but yes, the irony of McCrae & their fans complaining about booing when there fans are feral. I mean they have history. Horne-francis, goodes and even Dom sheed

It’s just football.

We boo Maynard still, some say he deserves it, and some don’t.

A lot of players get booed for right and wrong reasons as well.

I’m all for it, adds to the atmosphere.

They booed Quaynor, and he got the last laugh. That’s why I like it.

We boo Maynard because he physically assaulted and ended the career of a much loved player who still suffers the physical consequences of that injury

Booing IQ is the equivalent of Pies booing Gus for getting injured

I’m not sure how you can compare the two

Does this mean dees fans are in trouble from mccrae for booing sniper maynard?

But crows fans still boo Jake Lever also. Maybe it's true that Adelaide residents have an inferiority complex?

Spot on. It's all theatre after all. Silly but part of crowds behaviour.

I'll bet you the Christians got booed at the Colleseum

Don’t go using such big words around filth supporters.

Additionally i am really looking forward to the mental gymnastics the AFL does this week to justify not suspending Jordan De Goey for an action that's been suspended consistently every other time it's happened.

Na, sorry, the booing of Quanor was disgusting. He at no point has done anything wrong. He is the victim of a homophobic slur.

He is not Houston or Maynard, who deserve a good booing for various reasons.

OMG apples and bloody oranges.

I had no idea what people here were insinuating until I read more.

I hate Collingwood as much as the next person but there is NOTHING in common with this and our booing of Maynard or really any other situation where a player has been booed.

You can't force fans to act or not act a certain way but I don't think it was necessary.

We boo for our reasons, they boo for theirs. End of the day. It’s the same.

no mate. booing a player for being the victim of a homophobic slur is pretty cooked and needs to be called out and called out strongly.

This is why West Coast supporters furiously applauded Gaff after he went full 1970s sniper and obliterated Andrew Brayshaw's face. Because for some people reason and fairness don't come into it: everything the red team do is wrong, even if it's being a completely innocent victim of abysmal behaviour, and everything the blue team do is right, even if it's doing something universally accepted to be thuggery or bigotry.

Just as he still does as Collingwood’s own MRO

I don’t agree with the booing.

I’m happy Collingwood won so he could have the last laugh.

But at the end of the day, good luck stopping people.

Yes and our reasons make sense, and their reasons point to them being backwards inbred losers.

Nobody is saying that there's anything you can do to stop them. Doesn't mean that booing a victim is not a disgusting thing to do.

I hate Collingwood as much as the next person, but neither Quaynor nor Collingwood do anything wrong in this instance.

Really not sure that Collingwood are the supporter group deserving to be called out over their behaviour last night.

Agreed. Unsure of why people are getting upset.

All I am saying I like the atmosphere it creates.

I don’t agree with their reasons to boo, their player is the one who stepped over the line.

To be clear I am not against booing. I totally support Crows fans booing Houston for example.

I just can't stand booing for the sake of booing, or worse booing for the wrong reasons. Like the hate Goodes received was appalling to me. And last night booing the victim of a homophobic slur by their own player was putrid. BTW he wasn't the one who reported it, officials overheard the players talk about it post game. So why the booing?

Adelaide didn't even do the right thing and self report, so screw them (except Nibbler!).

Both their fan bases are pond scum.

It's pretty easy to work out when it crosses the line. Crows fans booing Lever? Absolutely fine, part of the sport. He left them and it got messy.

Last night they were booing a guy because he was the target of a homophobic slur from one of their own players who got suspended for it. There's just no other way to read it. It was a disgrace.

I'm never happy when Collingwood win..

Weirdly probably the first time in my life I was barracking for Collingwood. Adelaide absolutely deserved that last night. After how their supporters carried on with the whole Rankine fiasco, and how cocky they have been all year, they were due for a belting. Loved seeing.
