Just because you and others like a drink and I don't doesn't make it any less true that alcohol causes these problems.
It caused them when the Terry Alderman incident occurred at the WACA years ago ( I was there as a kid and that really left a lasting impact upon me it was very, very, disturbing at the time) and almost every major ugly crowd incident in this country can be attributed to the consumption of alcohol.
Again it's a vocal minority that spoils it for everyone and while in all probability you and others don't let it influence your behaviour to that extent, it doesn't mean that it doesn't happen especially when you're dealing with a bunch of morons in the first place.
:-B
You won't get any argument from me as I've said before that we have some truly moronic supporters, some are that dumb they shouldn't be allowed through the gate but again every club has them unfortunately.
I do get seriously piissed off however when the entire supporter base is basically accused of being racist and of disgraceful behaviour and that anyone who booed Goodes was being racist, that's just complete and utter bullshit and inherently wrong.

If he wants to challenge the crowd at the footy with a war dance, he has to expect a response.
If he wants to vilify a young person in the crowd, he has to expect a response.
If he was not a tosser, he would not challenge spectators and he would offer the hand of reconciliation, rather than yell and point that a child be removed for repeating an ill spoken word/phrase.
He just wants attention, cos he aint the footballer he used to be...if he retires now it will allow him to be a pariah for the rest of his life.
not even close to racist booing by what the couple that i know went, told me.....they booed for that goal he got, then kept it going for the rest of the day....if i was here i would've just boo'd cos he's a diving, whinging, argumentative tosser.
Never liked him but always respected him until how he dealt with the young person in the crowd incidence...

Yes it is annoying having to constantly stand to avoid drinking richard craniums during the game itself not just during breaks especially when its spilt on you and your friends accidentally by said richard craniums.
I went to the blues(Blues Supporter I am) game last week with a mate and we were in rounds.
Cost us $200 each in piiss. =)) =))

Diva stop being mischievous I clearly differentiated between being drunk and having had a drink or two which as stated has been proven by countless scientific studies does negatively influence behaviour, reaction times, lower inhibitions etc, etc.
I don't boo anyone (that I can recall), so maybe it's just me.
One guy in front of me was either ejected or left at half time (however I didn't hear anything racist from him). I would have liked the crazy lady (yes she was aboriginal) to be ejected, as I didn't need a history lesson on aboriginal culture, whilst I was trying to watch a game of football. No s*#t, she started yelling out about the stolen generation et al, at a footy game!
Also the booing, probably came from about 10% (maybe up to 20%) of the crowd, people that think the entire crowd was booing, it's just the way the audio sounds, and it only takes a minority of booing, for it to sound like everyone there was doing it.

In certain sections of the crowd it's going to be higher than others but one in every 10 maybe even higher in other sections so in a crowd of 38000 lets say 3800 people not an unreasonable number I would say that are drinking or have had a drink, that's more than enough to cause problems and inconvenience others.

Now none of this has anything to do with his advancing age and his acceptance that he is past it and was looking at getting the don't come Monday from Management.

Point is this in this country you are supposed to be allowed to express your opinions and views. Yes racism is not acceptable in any walk of life. But to say the whole booing is racially motivated is ridiculous. Every one in that crowd will boo for a different reason and only they know why.Will Cyril Rioli be booed when the Hawks play the Eagles in 2 weeks time. (I'm guessing not) It is just political correctness gone mad.
Our freedom of speech is being slowly eroded away, in the end we will not be able to have our own views and opinions will just get told what we can and can not say or do.
And why we are it the media is no better in this whole situation the way they report and shove it down people's throats gives it more traction and to sell papers and headlines is pathetic, I'm sure the country has bigger problems and issues to solve than some footballer being booed.

I just find it ironical that if a white player is yelled at abused, booed and much more its just normal crowd behaviour but when a aboriginal player cops similar treatment it's called racism.
