Edin Dzeko (continued)

[noise]

No, you said he was booed despite scoring the winning goal, that is also completely untrue as I too was at the game.

OK, You all read this thread, but quickly before it is gone. http://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=295601

If it's all the same with you I'll take my own word over the words of the guy who started that thread, a guy whose IP address is in Bangalore so clearly is never actually in the stadium to hear anything. No-one boos Dzeko, it simply doesn't happen. People may make exasperated noises when he miscontrols the ball, or gives it away, along the lines of "oh for fucks sake Dzeko" but booing? No, sorry, doesn't happen.

Are you saying that Trevor Francis made that up?

Not a dig or anything, were you at the Palace game?

Seeing as he didn't say Edin was booed in the first place then there'd be only one person making things up.

These Bosnians are still confused, bless them. This is what happens when you never actually attend a match.

Yes, one or two people out of a crowd of 47,000 might shout abuse at players. This is what the thread you linked to was referring to. This doesn't represent the crowd at large.

In my experience at the game and the experience of every other match goer on here, the crowd is overwhelming positive towards Dzeko by and large, and he is one of the few players who gets loving chants whether he is on the pitch or not.

Are you saying Francis was referring to Dzeko being cheered on?

I'll take the fact noise ignored my question as he wasn't at the game. So can I assume that him and the Bosnian posters are simply responding to hearsay. All the people going to the match on this forum have been saying we haven't heard anything, so all I'm asking for is a shread of proof, not just hearsay.

As Matty put it, people may make "exasperated noises" when someone mis-controls the ball or gives it away, but never booed.

Trevor Francis did not say that, I know what he said but I would like to see if you do. If indeed you do, then it's even worse that you're maintaining the idea that he was booed by City fans.

"Looks like Dzeko is not a fans favorite at Etihad even after scoring a goal that is winning them a game"
Is what Francis said. You don't often hear a caster say something like that about a player who scored a winning goal. I don't think I've actually ever heard it in 30 years of following football.

There is also Dzeko's post which ended with a wink that suggests he heard it: <a class="postlink" href="https://twitter.com/EdDzeko/status/416985383797129216/photo/1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">https://twitter.com/EdDzeko/status/4169 ... 16/photo/1</a>

There were also a few folks who were at the game, who mentioned it afterwards, but I can't be arsed to look for. Now if the majority of those who are normally overwhelmingly positive about Dzeko on these boards say it didn't happen, than it must be true and Francis is making things up.

So he wasn't booed, glad we cleared that up.

Alternatively, it's just a smilie no different from when he used it here:
