NO worse then when your angels booed Barret when he went down or not as bad as the Broncos fans booing Wendall.

Hate to correct you but NOONE booed Barrett, in fact he was clapped off the field. During the whole ordeal the stadium fell silent actually.

Elaborate please... their booing at what exactly?

Preston Campbell? I'm sure other teams would have booed if it appeared as if he was wasting valuable time too. They stopped booing when he was being taken from the field if I remember correctly.

Pleeeease don't tell me the vendetta is going as far to say their fans are not allowed to 'boo' anymore.

LOL!!!
Irony?

Melbourne Storm boss blasts 'disgraceful' Sydney crowd

5 minutes ago. | Dominic Brock

Melbourne Storm chief executive Brian Waldron has launched an attack on the people of Sydney after suspended captain Cameron Smith was booed by fans at yesterday?s NRL grand final.

Smith ? was banned for two weeks for a grapple tackle, ruling him out of Melbourne?s 40-0 loss to Manly yesterday ? was subjected to boos from the crowd when his face was shown on ANZ Stadium?s big screen.

Waldron, who along with coach Craig Bellamy is facing legal action over comments made against the NRL judiciary after Smith was suspended, described the crowd?s actions as ?a disgrace?.

?When Cameron Smith?s face came up on the screen last night, 80,000 people? 60,000 people booed him,? Waldron told SEN radio.

?I think if any insults are to be thrown, they should be thrown they should be thrown at the people of Sydney, because that was an absolute disgrace.

?To do that do a player that?s the Australian captain, whether it?s in jest, whether they?re full of drink, I don?t know what it is.

?I was disgusted in the crowd last night to do that to the Australian captain and they need to be told ? I think (NRL boss) David Gallop should come out and make a statement about what a disgrace it is to treat the Australian captain like that.?

Gallop has appeared on Ray Hadley?s 2GB morning program today, but did not take Waldron up on his suggestion to berate yesterday?s grand final crowd.

Yeah sass, sorry, but that's just ridiculous. Every fanbase boos heaps and last night was no different. Parochial home crowds do it, simple as that. I know you don't like Melbourne but srsly, give it a rest.

Sass needs to take the rose colored Sydney glasses off and try making some sense...boo hoo.

Lol what's your point? This has nothing to do with Melbourne's CEO. Yes, he asked people to stop booing, that is f**king stupid. Much like the posts on here regarding Melbourne's booing.. :-s

Whats not my point.
You cant say its laughable the vendetta against the storm is reaching their fans booing.
when half the reason they are hated is due to stupidity on their clubs behalf, and in particular their ceo, in the artice i mentioned above (about booing itself) and their other blow ups towards the end of last yr.

No you're being hypocritical. You dislike their CEO for complaining about the booing, yet now you and others are complaining about booing yourselves. You're doing exactly what you're criticising someone else for. Isn't that pretty much the definition of hypocrisy right there?

How am I being hypocritical exactly? I said I think his opinions/what he did is stupid (not that it's even relevant to people complaining about the Storm, except to show hypocrisy). I think people who are complaining about booing is stupid, which is exactly what he did. That's consistency, lol. f**k off Preniers.

:lol: Melbourne. Couldn't have happened to a better team :sarcasm: Now just need Manly to lose :cool:

And as for the last team to keep Melbourne scoreless at home in a half of footy, that was Newcastle IIRC (last year) on a Monday night. We lost 18-4, but it was 0-0 at halftime.

yes exactly, it was so silent u could hear a pin drop.

people booed Barrett when he got the ball (and everyone knows why)..... I already said that. and Dell is a huge personality and thrives on the booing.

my point was that from what i can tell on TV (i may be wrong, maybe they add in the boos in post production :roll: ), Melbourne crowds seem to boo a hell of alot. and constantly.

kia ora i said some fans are newbies, not all. suck it up.

They were giving it to the refs, which is Victorian tradition and probably our own team as well.

Get over it people.

if you say so I'll believe you. but from all the footy I've been to, no one's booed as much when they lose or as much when the other team wins as melby fans. must just be the melby tradition then.

meh.

I love a boo during a game (sup trent barret) but I think booing just cause u can't win is tacky. THERE. I SAID IT. TACKY.

meanwhile I don't have sydney coloured glasses. I just criticise ppl when they're being hateful. this isn't even about melbourne. it's about SOME melbourne fans.

don't be so defensive.

Stop being so attacking .

Vic's just love to boo the ref's, thats all it was. When did being one-eyed become some an issue.
