@Rancid-Schnitzel Both are unacceptable to me. I was embarrassed a few years ago at Westpac when the French ran onto the park and the stadium started booing them. It's jsut rubbish.
Sure, but there is a huge difference between booing the players running out the tunnel and screaming and yelling during their anthem.
Back during my uni days we felt it was our duty to give the ref and the opposition shit. The so called '16th man'

I agree, general booing is part of the theatre of the match, booing during the anthems is actually disrespectful ... and I hate the anthems.
Hmmm, how did I wind up involved in a soccer thread? Backs.out.slowly.

Both are bad full stop. To say keep it classy football fans is a touch funny to me when rugby fans can as poke
They point is they aren't as poke. I stand corrected if screaming during the anthem together with the team captain is something rugby fans regularly engage in.

@rancid-schnitzel I didn't say they did.

@Hooroo Nobody said that rugby fans are never classless. Reference was simply made to an incident of particularly appalling behaviour that is unfortunately all too common in soccer.
Do you believe that rugby fans are just as bad?

I don't recall ever seeing a rugby game where the fans
- Make monkey sounds at particular players
- Throw food or coins at players on the pitch
- Throw piss at each other in the stands

I have definitely seen all of those (WTW can probably back me up with two of those three.) Seen Sivivatu been racially abused from he stands.
Lasers in eyes for kickers.
It's a silly argument as it all is disgraceful

But some rugby fans boo players when they run onto the field so they're just as bad apparently. Sorry Hooroo but I just can't accept that argument.
However, just looking at the footage it would seem that Buffon was actually trying to clap the anthem and was embarrassed by the booing by the home fans. So, he's a good Italian.

Yes and no. Sivi adn Lauaki, yes, lasers no
My comment wasn't about classless countries it was rugby fans. You should hear what gets shouted at games in SA

@hooroo WTW was probably doing all of them!!
Shouting out All Blacks during a moments silence was the worst I've come across, and it then prompted an English twat to call out Ennnggglllaaand
