[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 797961, member: 40658"] My take on this is that the jeering and booing happens in a lot of countries, but at different levels. If you go to certain High School matches here in South Africa, you will get a lot of that and aggression by the parents, sometimes for the referee, sometimes for the other team. Certain areas in SA are also where this type of behavior are more common than in other. The East Rand for example, is a place where certain schools always dread of going because of the animosity they will experience there. I for one think that the fans pay to be in the stands, and are part of the atmosphere of the match, why can't they participate? Nobody has a problem when they sing together the national anthem or when they celebrate a try or conversion, so why can't they also participate in showing negative responses? [/QUOTE]
