Jacki Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Was anyone else surprised by the amount of people booing at half time today? Granted we were really poor in the first half but was there really any need to give the players a reception like that? We’re punching above our weight in 7th, and we were playing one of the best teams in the league today. I’d be really interested to know what any of the people who vented at half time want/expect from this group of players? Johnson sounded surprised and pretty pissed off about the booing in his post match interview and I don’t blame him.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprise play-off contenders playing 3rd in the league, behind by a single goal. There are occasions when booing is fully warranted but this certainly wasn’t it.

JoeAman08 Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Man City fans just booed them off at HT at 0-0. Not saying it was right but people didn’t like what they saw and impulse comes out and people boo. I didn’t boo but was very unhappy with the effort in the first half so I understand.

Red Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Does not do any harm to let the players know when their performance is practically crap. I could understand if this was a one off but it's been the last few matches where they have not turned up in the first half. Supporters pay good money and the players earn good money. If the players want it they have to play for it. Something is not right before the kick off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, think people are a bit touchy about booing. Hopefully our players are a little more mentally resilient/mature and don’t take it too personally. It’s just frustration and can be used as a driving force if you have the right mentality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City fan 1982 Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 I booed , on the performance alone , absolutely awful , from the first whistle , stray passes , caught In Possession too often , . Back in the old days this was allowed , but nowadays we have a southville luvvie type of fan who buys the we are punching above our weight argument , we are not Small northern team with poor crowds ,and no money ! Doesn’t hurt to let them know their performance was poor , otherwise you say nothing and they think we will put up with it. ! I’m in section82 and did sing and try and get behind them, despite the poor football served Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 When was the last time we scored at home in the first half? It's frustration as every game is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelksRed Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 I didn't boo.....just didn't clap the crap that was dolled out at full time. I live in the real world.....if we dolled out that level as professionals We'd be reprimanded....I see no issue with booing (I didn't do it as it's not my style)....But I'm definately not showing appreciation for sub standard offerings from a team that can clearly do much much better. Some of these players earn in a week what some earn in 6 months.....have the professionalism to at least try and earn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not punching above our weight we are where we are as a club supported by one of the county’s richest family’s 21000 average attendance and a squad that could be worth up to 100 million The more people say punching above our weight the more of an excuse it sounds for being out played and out fought and having the complete in ability to string three passes together. I’ll do a Thatch35 on this one ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So no not pointless they certainly improved in the 2nd half playing against 12 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Zod Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 I’m happy to boo if the team put in a poor half no matter who we are playing. Nothing wrong with letting the players know what we think when they’ve not been good enough. Footballs about passion, we over praise when things are going well and we probably over react in the heat of the moment when standards drop. Today more than a few of them needed a wake up call. If they can’t deal with it they are probably not strong enough characters to be playing in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were the home team and didn’t play like we had any sort of advantage, as for who we were playing I don’t respect them anymore than any other opposition. The game was blown out of proportion and it sounds like some of us gave them too much respect as well as the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you can’t raise yourself to play in front of a capacity crowd singing your names against one of the most famous teams in the world you better expect what’s coming.

BigAl&Toby Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 We didn’t boo but Christ were we shit. Second to second balls and second best to the team now second. And **** me what a goal to give away.... As the boy said we were European champs on form recently. Now we’re ******* chimps.... I fear a repeat of last season coming along. And LJ sounded pissed of on RB about a bit of booing. Christ alive. Let’s hope we all have something to cheer about on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does loudly booing your own team off increase the advantage of playing at home? It does the opposite and I thought it was ridiculous today.
