Booing our own players

[Nigels Tackle]

King kev bullshit as usual, thought police as usual

Just because somebody has a different opinion to yours it doesn't make them the thought police.

This forum was set up so that people could express their opinions.

Grow up.

....isn't booing an expression of opinion???

Yes, and if anybody wants to boo on this forum that is fine by me.

Booing is pathetic and should be left to school children and girly girls.

I think they were Blackburn Rovers supporters having a day out .......

Save your booing for the christmas pantomine or X-factor shite, trying to justify booing City just makes you look like cocks.

Constantly leaving early regardless of the result is also fucking embarrassing and sitting waiting for the road to open in your shiny car is an outrage, probably the same spanners that boo!

We won and the the lack of appreciation for the effort is fucking embarrassing - but you pay your hard earned money blah blah ...

Effort?? There was only effort from a handful of players in the second half.

So why didn't you boo them off at full time as well then, if your perceived reason for justification was so strong?

Cause I left early.

Leave the turnstiles in place until full time. If you leave early, you have to swipe out. You're allowed to leave early one normal kick off and two night games a season. More than that and you're at the back of the queue for semi final and final tickets. Do it two seasons in a row and you're moved to the back of the third tier so at least you're not in my way when I'm trying to watch all the game and support the team. Three seasons in a row and your season ticket allocation is given to a real fan.

Heard the booing and it is pathetic. Especially as the majority of those doing it would have sat through Stuart Pearce's tenure when they could have indulged in enough booing to last a couple of lifetimes. We're so fucking lucky to be where we are at the moment and these ingrates take it upon themselves to behave like spoilt children. Tossers.

[Mase]

Wow. Quite a few self righteous people on here telling their own fans they're not "proper" fans.

[Ted Hughes]

I thought City were utter shit & Bob was pathetic, but anyone who chose to boo (which I didn't hear) is an utter twat, without whom we would all be better off.

Define 'proper fan'

Thought police are for those who think but do not do. KK rightly points out that booing your own team, especially at half time, is a crap thing to do.

To put it into perspective, some fans were booing a team which won? What more do they expect? No team can play gung ho, run round like nutters for 90 mins every game. We were poor 1st half but we still won. That's normally considered the mark of champions to Win when playing crap. Yet some think its ok to boo champions because they are not playing in a way that they consider acceptable.

Perhaps Mancinis tactic is to conserve energy at the beginning of the season to ensure we still have energy at the end?

Supporters should mean just that, to support, let's hope they don't boo their own children to express displeasure.

A proper fan is one that supports both in the good times and the bad. Booing is not normally considered a sociably acceptable thing. Why should it be ok at football games?

I'm not trying to do that. What gives me the right to tell another fan that they're not a "proper" fan!

Francis Lee tells a story about a game in which we were 3-0 up at half-time (at Maine Road) and were booed off the pitch as we hadn't played scintillating football. We drew 3-3 in the end.

I guess you are trying to say that by booing we improve the team. Doesn't singing and shouting to raise the atmosphere do the same?

I would go so far as to suggest that singing and shouting is actually even more beneficial to the players than booing is!

Crazy eh.

I'm saying the exact opposite, mate.
