Beckham Booed at England v Andorra?

O.P.H · 11-06-2009 2:04am #1

Bit trivial but was watchin highlights of England v Andorra at Wembley, 6 - 0, i think was the end result, anyway towards the end of the game Becks was gettin booed everytime he got the ball. Pretty sure it had to be the England fans cause doubt anyone from Andorra was even there. Whats all that about anyway, he do somethin or is it cause its just Beckham.

yes.

in other news. I also heard 'shoot' from the crowd. especially after they scored 3 times in about 6 minutes

They were indeed shouting shoooooooot

The crowd last night was highly impressive considering that the tubes were on strike.

Anyone who knows Wembley will know that getting in/out without the tube is pretty hard.

Fair play to the FA they offered full refunds to anyone who couldn't go etc.

I think they reduced the prices too ( not sure ).

Jesus it was only 8/1?

These teams really have to be weened out before they get to this stage in world cup qualifying.

Yep It Was Defo Shooooooooot They Said It A Couple Of Times When Lampard Was On The Ball

Pighead · 11-06-2009 11:56am

I thought they were booing him as well. Are you sure they were shouting shoot? There was one occasion when he had the ball and the booing noises could be heard until he slipped and mis-kicked the ball at which they all started cheering.

Its London not outer Mongolia.

I was born and grew up in NW London , believe me without the tube Wembley is hard to get into/out of.

The traffic would have been totally horrible, almost impossible. I have no idea what the parking is like now with the new stadium but no way would it have enough for even a 50k crowd

The parking restrictions around Wembley make Croke Park look easy.

In normal games , I would say 60-70% of the crowd would utilise the tube to get there.

I lived about 7 miles from Wembley , by tube it was 15-20 mins ( 6 stops ). There was no other viable alternative, driving was not possible . If there was a tube strike and it was an England game to be honest , I would have stayed at home ( might have been different if it was a FA Cup final involving Chelsea or something )

there is less parking at wembley than there was for the old ground. The Tube stations and mainline station were revamped as part of the new stadium.

The jubilee line was running, but oly had trains every 6 - 7 minutes, which when you think it is normally every two minutes and every train is packed gives you an idea of how much this would affect people.

I think the commentators kept saying "and still no goal at wembley for beckham.", or something similar. Has he not scored at the new wembley yet or something? Maybe this had something to do with it too.
