Hayabusa said:I believe the play Skeepe is referring to is the obstruction of Jason Smith. In the first half after Campbell cut back in behind his own player stood still while Smith had to try and move in through the number 17 then ran back out and around making a break the near length of the field.
Heaven forbid a crowd boo the oppposition at a sporting event. As far as Wesser goes it was part of the game itself he had a number of indiscretions with Raiders players, made a few crucial mistakes and then in an amusing incident once actually played the ball then lept at the marker who was moving in to try and tackle the dummy half. You can't tell me that other crowds don't give it to the opposition or certain players, players are professionals as long as the crowd don't overstep the mark then they should be free to dish out all the booing they like, its part of being a live spectator and the enjoyment of the game in booing the opposition and cheering on your team.
Do you also think its unfair that the Sydney crowd boo Carl Webb or that the QLD crowd boo the guys like Johns during origin?
I'm not saying that at all but out of the 80 minutes of football at least 70 minutes were filled with Canberra fans booing for one reason or another, it actually had an impact on the game.
In reference to disgraceful instance of crowd overstepping the mark, I'd like to point out the Willie Mason incident in 03 or 02 I believe. NSW fans were booing their own player. I find that disgusting, especially at Origin level.
