Booing at HT

[Inoffthebar]

Age old argument on here. You never boo and it’s unhelpful vs I’ve paid my money I’ll boo if I want.

Anthony Vickers tweeted ‘loudest boo for years’ at half time last night.

Was the booing a rocket up the backside and a factor in the improved second half display/result? Does last night disprove the argument that booing doesn’t help and is never acceptable?

Personally I was expecting worse from the crowd on the halftime whistle, sat in the north. Thoughts??

If you need a boo to inspire you after that performance you shouldn’t be at the club.

Professional pride should kick in.

I didn't boo and I never do, find it quite childish to be honest.

I was livid mind, didn't go down for my usual half time refreshments out of protest.

That'll learn em.

I can't honestly recall whether I booed or not. But it was very loud and very clear. And I don't blame anyone for doing it that was rank awful.

 

[Alzi]

I'm still booing now.

 

[Jedi boro]

I’ve never booed it’s just not me I prefer to shout shiiite after the game

but you can’t really argue with those that did

Booing is pretty immature. It's for kids at pantomimes. It's not a helpful way of encouraging people you're there to support.

Oh no it isn't!

I'll never boo but no problem with fans doing it last night, the 1st half was a disgrace.

I get more annoyed when fans boo individual players or when we've played pretty well but are losing 1-0, then it just comes off as entitled.

This was my point though. How can we say it wasn’t helpful when they came out and won the second half. Maybe it actually WAS helpful?

 

[Linny]

A gave a very stern tut or two. It’s been a while since I’ve had to do that.

 

[Diego]

It’s not my style to boo would rather show my frustration in other ways but I was glad a lot of fans booed last night to be honest. They needed telling that we don’t accept that *****

Last time I boo'ed was McClaren against Villa, then we went and did something and felt very embarrassed

 

[El Guapo]

I was saying Boo-urns.

(I wasn’t even there)

Booing at HT isn't a problem for me.
Booing during the match or having a go at players is.

I actually thought at 0-1 and to an extent at 0-2 the crowd were getting behind the team. And 2nd half it was excellent support at the end.

 

[Philly-Red]

I didn't and don't ever boo them, but have no problem with people choosing to after being served up a performance like last night's.

 

[NorthumberlandBoro]

Could never bring myself to Boo.
That said, I did noticeably raise my eye brows when the third went in.

 

[Andy_W]

I wouldn't boo our players, ever, never have, never will.

I just don't see how that could help in any way, support is always going to be better, but not supporting mistakes, just praise what aspects are done well, if nothing is done well, stay quiet.

If someone was sat at my desk booing me for making a mistake (which I make often) it would just make me worse. The only other way it could improve me, is if I thought "**** em" and it lifted a load, so could rejuvenate me, but loose cannons rarely work well with others.

 

[MolteniArcore]

Thought it was pretty justified last night. What's the alternative though? Clap them off 3-0 down?

I’m still booing now.
