    I was ashamed

    I was ashamed for a few minutes tonight to be part of the Cork City Support when the Sligo ROvers player was sent off and a section of the DF booed as he went off. Is this the new type of support or is this an isolated incident

    Its a normal reaction. The sent-off player has to walk under the DF crowd, they have a poke at him as he goes away. No big deal unless it gets nasty. Usually its just a bye-bye kind of thing. If the player has kicked the bejasus out of a City player, of course the crowd is going to be angry at the sent-off one. Obvious indeed. Last time it got very nasty was the Portadown player who scored and got so high on his achievement that he chased George round the pitch until George conned him into kicking him. Famous for a second, what was his name again?

    Call me naive but there was no malice or bad football last night other than just poor performance but imo to boo a player who lets face it was playing with some gusto last night and Sligo looked like a team who wanted to win well I think its not right . Even the penalty decision we got was not 100% justified imo. Dont get me wrong but I am just as happy to sing cheerio as a player departs but to boo, come on. lets not forget we were on TV again last night.

    If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

    I was one of those who booed loud and long. He dererved to get the red for a professional foul, and he begged to be booed for taking his own sweet time leaving the pitch.

    Do I follow a different sport or something? Is it not convention to boo the opposition player when he is sent off?

    I actually didnt think much of the booing for the red ..... i thought the ref game a yellow out really early though, about five minutes in for a nothing issue, thought we were in a sh!te game for then on but fair play .... the ref had a good game too.
