Lack of Action Man Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Essentially the football fan is someone who want's their team to do well but also is angered by them doing badly. Like England under Steve McClaren. We as a nation want to suceed but can't help but boo the team because they are playing so poorly when we know and expect that they can do so much better than that. Booing isn't nice but it's common place in football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob4Jane Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Shapport is simply how Big Phil Scolari would say support. Anyway, without booing we would not have cheering. It's like 'evun and 'ell, innit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keepers Ball Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I'll refrain from the spelling jibes as you could be dyslexic but you my friend talk utter crap. We have every right to boo if drivel is served up like that first half. No doubt you are one of those boring fools that just sit on the arse all match without an utter.....those types that is killing the atmosphere in the modern game.

RedM Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 It was quite weird at HT, I expected the team to go off to boo's which they did from all sections of the grund as far as I could tell. But just before they went down the tunnel the atmosphere changed and 'come on you reds' was sang around the ground. It was like they were being told that the first half wasn't acceptable, which was true as at times we looked shambolic (and I don't say that lightly) but at the same time were being urged on to do better, which they definitely did. The subs made a huge difference and Akinde was the most exciting player I've seen in a while, Trundle was like a thing possessed and Noble did his usual and added a vital goal.

Dollymarie Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I think that first half was probably the worst ive seen us play. No one had a clue what anyone else was doing, and we were all over the shop. Plymouth werent even that good, we were just completely crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted September 30, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 As I said to others around me at the time, we haven't booed our side off at Ashton Gate for some time now and to do so tonight (after that shambolic first half performance) was the right message to send at the right time. If we were making a habit of it or doing it during play I would argue against it but as a one off at half-time with 15 mins for the players to consider the reasons for it was ok. That said I was too slow to join in with the boo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should've seen us get beat 6-1 at home to Sunderland in the early 90s then. Can we have a bit of perspective here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasnt there then sorry, which is why I was saying it was the worst i'd seen us play thats all. I'm sure its not the worst performance ever. Maybe I shall rephrase it and say its the worst ive seen the current group of players play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess some people forget that we played in this league 10 years ago and used to get beaten every week. If we play like we did in the first half again we will get stuffed a la Sunderland. Lets hope tonight has given food for thought for some of the players, and that we lift our game for Sheffield Utd on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 City 0-2 Tranmere (1st half), City 0-2 Notts County or City 2-4 Barnet spring to memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Man In Black Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 If anyone had told me that I didn't have a right to boo I would have asked what exactly was there to cheer about. As RedM hinted, the difference between normal booing and what happened tonight is that we let them know that in no way was the shambles we saw in the first half acceptable, then still clapped them off. Mind you, I laughed myself senseless at every fan that blurted out "we always believe" after we scored. The irony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To which I'd have replied "well you're not cheering now so why aren't you booing?" ..... but then I'm a cheeky little twot sometimes, and would have been arguing against my own viewpoint. As RedM hinted, the difference between normal booing and what happened tonight is that we let them know that in no way was the shambles we saw in the first half acceptable, then still clapped them off. Mind you, I laughed myself senseless at every fan that blurted out "we always believe" after we scored. The irony. I was singing "we didn't believe".

PhilC Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I wasn't at the game tonight, however I have experienced booing from City fans towards their own team, both home and away, and it does not feel nice. I mean that in a sense that I'm quite often one of those "We should always get behind the team" fans - However life just isn't always that simple. Sometimes the fans have to show thier emotion for the game from the stands, just as the players do on the pitch, appealing for penalties, disputing refree decisions, celebrating goals, and even crying after losing important games such as cup finals. If the team play well then of course the fans will get behind them even more, and if we play badly, that will also cause some to get behind the team (And I'm glad someone has mentioned this refering to the players going towards the tunnel at half time, and the fans getting behind them). Some inevitably, will boo. It's all part of the game, and everyone is entitled to show emotion towards it. Players, on the pitch and the bench, coaches, managers, and the fans...

YattonRed Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I heard someone chanting "we always complain" in the Atyeo..... HAHA behind me when Plymouth went 1-0 up they were singing "1-0 to the Argyle" some guy kept saying "why are they singing 1-0 to the Arsenal?". Had me in stitches.
