Booing our own players

[Alex Sapphire]

I heard no booing, all the way up in my 3rd tier nest by all the foreign cameras.. however, I would condemn that act. Be it for the sake of dignity alone. Who the fuck wants to sound like a rabble of plebs making the most carnal of noises, when, orchestrating a full-stadium chant to get everyone lifted would be both far more appealing on the ears and for de boys on the pitch!

is that you, Andrew?

To summise,

Jaffa cakes are the best biscuits out there and a kick up the arse is needed to ensure success as Im sure Mancini will agree.(maybe not on the jaffa cake issue but definately on the kick up the arse one).

any man who eats that many fruit pastilles must like Jaffa cakes.
and on the arse issue I think he'll agree that Praise and kicking combined is the most effective

and that praise gets better results

BTW..we won 1 nil after the booing at half time.

Until Saturday, 41% of our goals this season had been scored in the last 15 minutes of games. It was a high proportion in the last 10 minutes last season as well, not least against QPR. We're not fast starters and don't play balls out for 90 minutes.

We were awful in the first half on Saturday, but I still didn't think we'd lose. I also trusted Mancini to get it right, despite his odd tactics at times.

do people who boo honestly think that they're going to inspire the team to improve through booing?

Why shouldn't it? If it is happening every week then no, it will be counter-productive. But as a one-off, as this has been, then yes. See carl's post above.

Why are you so ready to accept mediocrity and a lack of effort without even voicing an opinion?

Why is it ok to boo as a one-off and not every week?

Is it because if you're booing every week, then it's clearly not inspiring the players?

fucking hell, there are some seriously dense people on this board

how often have the team been booed during mancini's reign?!?!

booing on saturday was in response to 135 minutes of totally unispired shit from some incredibly talented footballers who came across as if they couldn't give a flying fuck. if they had been playing 'with their balls out' for those 135 mins, no one would have booed, in fact we'd have beaten ajax 4-0 and would have put 5 past swansea.

I doubt that
it sounds rather uncomfortable and likely to restrict movement
it did happen to a teammate of mine playing league once though and he still managed a decent breakaway try with his cock and one knacker out

Sooo what you are saying is that it's Mancinis job to boo the players, and not that of the supporters. Well, we all agree then. Good job everyone. No more booing of our own team. It's settled. Now, time for some cake and muffins.

Most goes over your head doesnt it.

But for your benefit , Mancinis job is to KICK THEM UP THE ARSE when they are shit and then PRAISE them when they do well....which he does.

To take your analogy further, if I go into one your casinos and your staff don't roll my numbers on the roulette wheel, I can boo and abuse them. I pay my money do it should be my right. I definitely shouldn't get kicked out for that sort of behaviour because I'm paying my money.

I thought only Andrew Davies was that stupid , but obviously you are a photo finish.

Since when is it a dealers job to spin your numbers or give you blackjack every hand you thick cunt? They are there to deal the game, not to fucking throw chips at you.

In fact dont reply , Im not in the mood to respond to a thicket right now.

I am definitely on the 'each to their own' fence here, but I would like to ask the sanctimonious majority how exactly you should convey your feelings of frustration and disappointment to the players, and I'll bet bobby didn't spend 15 minutes praising them for their first half efforts at halftime.

we chant C'mon City

used to be used at corners at Maine road. Mostly now a way to convey get the fuck on with it

And if we play so shite that we have 70% possession but hardly any corners because we dont get that far up the pitch? What then for your cunning plan?

Are we allowed to sing "what the fuck is going on" like we did in Amsterdam - thats worse in my eyes but is the same expression of displeasure as booing, only difference is mancini and the players probably dont understand the song, but they understand the global language of displeasure conveyed by booing

[Alex Sapphire]

And if we play so shite that we have 70% possession

really?

just make whatever noise you want

my position is that them that booed on Saturday are twats that is all

Zero point having the possession if you have no intention of using it, a fact that came very close to costing the league last year till tevez and toure stood up to drag the team out of the general mire of mediocrity we had been sucked into after January.

But of course quoting half of what I said out of context makes everything alright doesn't it?

Edit, and Answer the question instead of trying so hard to be a smart arse
