The Morons that booed our team @ 90+ points up!

[saintspremiers]

Talk about a bunch of retards so many of our so called supporters
are.

We just wanted to ice the clock and prevent injuries.

I feel sorry for those that boo a team that are 15 goals up late in the final term.

Bunch of very sad sacks

[GoTheTorp]

Heard them and quickly forgot about them, hand in your memberships you aint real saints by a country mile.

Yeh f*** that was annoying.....

The blokes have just played four quarters of flat out footy - we are 90 points up.... and they want them to continue going at top pace.

If port arnt chasing - Id expect no less than to ice the clock.

Bloody annoying, and it wasnt just one or two - by the noise of the crowd it was well over 70% voicing their concerns.



Grow up - Learn the game - And get some bloody perspective!

[GoTheTorp]

Wonder what would have happened at Moorabbin in the 80's

[super dooper]

Because %%% is going to be critical.... Some people need to get over the spectacle of winning by 100 pts, in the grand scheme of things it DOES NOT matter as long as we win...

seriously, its an a skill holding onto the ball to ice the clock...

[St.Dianne]

I agree - was getting very embarassed by all the booing. What have they got to boo about? We were giving Port a belting!! Some people are never happy.

[clarky449]

100% agree, i was close to telling them to STFU

[noob]

Supporters have to realise that we have a days less rest then NM so it was good to conserve the energy.

[Beej]

If I were a St Kilda player out there today, I would've been pretty angry hearing those boos.

It was persistent, aggressive, angry booing and it sounded like the whole stadium was a part of it.

Embarrassing.

Who cares if we win by 90 or 100?! Tossers.

[saint66au]

Sadly the MW wasnt immune from it either

I felt embarrased during that last five minutes. Embarassed that fans of my own club could be so selfish and stupid to make so much noise AGAINST the team when we were 90+ points in front..and embarrased for the players who must have been thinking "WTF do we have to do to keep the fans happy, is being 15 goals in front not sufficient?"

The sooner a certain percentage of our supporter base pulls their heads out of their collective arses and realise that its not 1982 anymore, the happier the rest of us will be.

Disgraceful, embarrassing and took a little of the gloss off the day for me

[GoTheTorp]

I had never heard the booing until we went to Etihad and adopted the approach of slowing the game down. Someitme its frustrating to see them not go on with it and even turnt the ball over, but to boo them is a disgrace

[rymax]

It's good practice for the team. If they can deal with their own fans booing them, then they can deal with the sound of 50,000 toothless ferals booing them as they chip the ball around to protect the lead in the dying minutes of a final.

Embarassing is right. Will these people be booing if we need to do this to ice a final?

A skill well worth practicing.

[philtee]

Pretty poor when you consider the players were obviously following instructions to the letter. I'm proud of
them for doing it, against some pretty vocal cr*p coming over the fence.
Seriously, why risk a hammy in junk time, when there are bigger things in our future ?

[older saint]

same moron group i was sitting next to who all game kept critising the handball and switching play. JUst kick it long the call. Either these people do not understand footbal or have very narrow vision and cannot see the 4 on 1 favouring Port down the line.

Had to lauggh through when we kicked it long and port marked it " Are you happy now" was my retort.

Could not agree more, sp.

It absolutely infuriated me.

Some people just don't get it.

Not just icing the clock and preventing injuries. It is a part of the game plan and we are not the only ones that do it. They had no clear options to kick it to so they move it around until the find a suitable option. No point bombing it long to a large pack of players and turning it over.

I do agree that it is really poor form from supporters and peeves me off whenever I hear it. Mind you, people in the area I sit in no better than to EVER boo the team when I am there.....

[SainterK]

Probably the same supporters who have been the biggest whingers over recent weeks when we have been a little down, the boys just can't win can they.

[fingers]

I loved the idiot behind me yelling, "we have to win by 100. We need the percentage"

All while we are winning by 93 FFS

I wasn't really annoyed at the backman, they were only doing it because all the forwards and mid-fielders had shut up shop and weren't providing options to kick to.

Plus they probably had trouble seeing into the lockett end anyway.

Well Clarky I didnt say STFU but did say Shut Up and are you a bunch of idiots or what.
Social Club area aisle 19 and 20 up the back bloody disgrace booing you all got me so fr...ng angry do any of you understand football bugger off if you boo our boys when there 90 points up!
My daughter had to calm me down because I was pretty angry at you booing.
By the way slagging players and the umpires(they were ok today) support YOUR TEAM!
End of rant!!!
Go saints!!!

[Enrico_Misso]

Percentage wasn't the issue.

Everyone was very much aware that we had a chance to log our first 100 point pin against Port.
Whilst it is important to be able to play "tempo" football, I was disappointed that with only 7 more points required we abandoned our attempt to win by 100.

Though I hasten to add I didn't boo.

Everyone but the players. They couldnt give a stuff and so they shouldnt.

See I dont think there was ever an "attempt to win by 100", We played how we played, and at a time predetermined, we started to slow the tempo. The problem was that at that time we were 93 points in front and the less intelligent members of the crowd had bloodlust in their eyes for this 100 point win

Ironic thing was, if that last shot on the siren had been on target, we'd have won by 100. tempo footy, whinging and all

[rymax]

Hell had we not keep screwing around with the ball when we got to the 50 sometimes we probably could have won by 120.

And unless there is another draw by either us or someone around us, percentage is completely and utterly useless.
