The pathetic bunch that decided to boo in the first half...

Recommended Posts

GJP is spot on. I don’t think the disconnect between the club and its supporters has been as wide since the Chase era. That the likelihood of the crowd booing is very high at the moment is less to do with the dull football at FCR this season, and much more to do with frustration at the steep decline in the club post-Lambert and opportunities squandered.

People are entitled to boo if they want (not my particular thing) and tbh some of our fanbase would find something moan about if we''d just won the Champions League.If the players are really that sensitive then, to toughen them up, they

should go and play in a lower league game with a few hundred

people at the edge of the pitch...where they can hear pretty much everything coming out from the crowd.Apples

Apples is right, I don''t boo during a game but have let the odd one out at half time and full time, what a relief.

I really cant believe this debate is still going.

It was one off booing at the fact Tettey had to pass the ball 40yards backwards due to any form of movement from the team (note: not AT Tettey - he was probably just as annoyed). I also dont think the team would have been booed off at half time either.

Now if we want to debate people that just boo for the sake of it (people that Badger/LDC are mentioning) then yes I agree. But thats different to what happened during the Villa game.

As for affecting the players, if affected them that much that we managed to turn in arguably our best performance of the season. The way some people are going on, 1 bit of booing should have been enough for the players to crumple in tears due to to the nasty people in the crowd.

We won, move on ffs

I could hear the booing on the tv. I think it has to be put in context. It was during a spell in the game where we were not looking threatening, the half was very much going the way of previous home games where we’ve drawn a blank and as far as I can recall it came in response to a specific decision by one of our players (can’t recall who it was) to turn backwards and pass the ball backwards when they had a clear opportunity to drive forward and progress a quicker, more threatening attack.

Ok it’s not ideal but I can understand the frustration and it’s jot really any different to how we used to chant “attack, attack, attack, attack, attack” in the past if we felt the team were not being positive enough.

I just hope that our travelling away support don''t ''boo'' our team, if Sunderland somehow manage to turn us over tomorrow night......

Agree with Apple’s 🍏 view - I only boo the ref or opposition myself, but have no problem if others do. Although I do think it’s unwise to lecture other fans on how they should behave and make claims they’re better fans.

Booooooooo booooooooo booooooo

Again, when you''ve set foot in Carrow Road you can give your opinion on the crowd reactions.[/quote]

Ha! Ridiculous. I''m as entitled to my opinion about booing our own players as any other supporter and I''ve been plenty of times in the last few years where this ridculous booing thing has raised it''s pathetic little head.  People can do what they like at football matches as long as it''s legal, but that doesn''t expempt them from criticism by me or anyone else.

[quote user="The gut"]We’re you there Purple? If you were I think your question is particularly odd. If you were not I will try to offer an explanation of what I think it was.

I must admit I’m a little confused by some of the comments on this daft thread. I would suggest that the majority of any fan reaction during a game is not a pre planned thought process that has to be justified. It is more of a spontaneous reaction to what someone thinks they are seeing, sometimes in a split second.[/quote]No. But what I said before holds good. From all accounts we were the better team in the first half against a team trying for the automatics places, but according to you:...had it not been for that moment of genius from

Murphy though, I’m pretty sure there would have been a chorus of boos at

half time.
...if Murphy''s shot hadn''t hit the post and gone in but hit the post and stayed out a chorus of boos - so not just from some isolated idiots reacting instantly to one incident but the comment from many on the whole half of play - would have been justified.

@LDC

Of course you''re entitled to your opinion. But if you''re going to make claims like fans booing...

''keep doing it. It''s a drip drip effect''...

Then it helps to be in the ground. I''ve certainly not heard any consistent booing during games all season. In fact there was a debate on another thread as to why there has been less booing this season compared to last.

We''re not talking about continued and persistent abuse or booing though are we? We''re talking about a one off, small section booing one pass.[/quote]It is persistent - every game; any time a player does anything wrong - Josh Murphy, in particular is a victim of it. Vrancic and Oliviera get more than their fair share as well, Redmond and Snoddy before that. Same small section of fans, every game. You may try to say it''s understandable and normal but it''s not - as I and others have said persistently, we are not talking about ordinary frustration that all fans experience - everybody moans sometimes - we are talking about booing home players, game after game and seeming to positively relish their wit in doing so.And yes it does affect players'' confidence despite your attempt to pretend otherwise.

I booed my illicit stream.

It was more stop, start than some of City''s football during the first half of the game.

I remember that infamous Tettey back pass at the time and remember emitting a little groan. It was a little "same old" in a lot of the first half and there is no denying that and it must be even more frustrating for those at the game.

Clearly the boos were because of the direction of the pass and were not directed at the player.

Suddenly Murphy struck.

All delightful after that.

Much ado about next to nothing.

Took my lad to his Sunday game yesterday.

His decision making annoyed me and he is lightweight so I booed him every time he touched the ball.

Went home and the dinner was burned, so I booed the missus.

Same thing in bed last night.

Now nobody''s talking to me, they don''t realise I''ve got a perfect right to be childish and I''m doing it for their own good.

Boo.

[quote user="The gut"][quote user="nutty nigel"]But how is the player supposed to know. He kicks the ball and gets booed. He''s not going to know that it''s actually the ball being booed rather than the guy who kicked it. And what''s the point of booing the ball. Will it suddenly buck it''s ideas up and bounce higher or something? I don''t think you''ve thought this excuse through gutty.

Anyway, I''m gonna leave it here cause I can''t think of a'' different ways to spell Tettie.

FFS.

☺[/quote]

FFS indeed - I don’t need an excuse nutty. I didn’t boo. I said it’s not my thing, I also said I wasn’t getting into the boo or not to boo debate. So what’s your beef with me?

I also don’t really give too much of a flying eff you see kay how Titty must have felt at the time. I’m sure he could live with that, I doubt it would have had a lasting effect.

What I could do though is certainly feel or sense the mood around the ground just prior to that moment then when it happened. If someone can’t, I do question if they were aware of how the game was being played, what the flow of the game was and what opportunity was being wasted.[/quote]
Sorry Gutty. FFS was at my continual attempts at spelling Tetti''s name. I don''t have a beef with you or anyone else. My beef, or maybe my Billy Bear, is with the booing of Tette. He didn''t deserve it. And Rogues latest explanation of Tettiy''s back pass bears no resemblance to what I saw. Titty didn''t even really look for a forward option. The attack had broken down so we went back to build again. 
Anyway, this is fast becoming one of my favourite threads of all time. It''s now up to page 10 and none of the fans who booed have even posted yet. It''s just a load of "I didn''t boo but...." which is a bit like "Dear Marge, I''m writing on behalf of ''a friend''......."
I think it''s got scope for at least another 10 though as boos at us being turned over at Sunderland has already been eagerly anticipated....

Boo.[/quote]I took my Chevy to the levee yesterday but the levee was dry Absoutely shockingly bad resource management but of course the happy-clapping apologists will try to fool you into thinking the Suffolk Socialists don''t actually have anything to do with the Mississippi Watershed Management Organisation or the Mississippi River Basin Healthy Watersheds Initiative.

[quote user="Canary Wundaboy"]"So there was booing, and it spawned a positive reaction from the players." 
Would be  one way of looking at it.
Do not insult these people. They''ve paid the same money you have, they have the same right to voice their opinions as everyone else.
[/quote]No fan should boo their team. It is completely ridiculous and I for one hate hearing it at games (happened a lot this season too). In fact, i often just stand and shout to tell these boo people where they can stick their boos. Perhaps a slightly contradictory approach, but next time it happens I''ll just boo them and see how they like it [:D][;)]

"Just about sums it up really. You may feel that this is a justified reaction to the team having the effrontery not to be leading against a team well above us in the league and current form, but others don''t. You may feel that this shows a desired level of support for a team in transition but many others feel it demonstrates a degree of petulance that is in nobody''s best interest.It has been acknowledged that it was one of our best performances of the season but still you seem to feel that booing is a justified reaction...[/quote]

Best you read again badger - I said nothing of the sort. Absolute nonsense! In fact your post is so far from what I posted it is virtually libellous.

I don’t understand what you are saying Purple. I’m not justifying anything. Perhaps you are reading what you want to read rather than what was written.

I would like to take this opportunity to point out that fans at the game don’t tend to boo or even cheer or sing based on the half time statistics. It tends to be a little bit more spur of the moment.

Who is ridiculous, the person booing or the person so offended by it they feel the need to stand up and shout at other fans?

This gut feeling or spur of the moment reaction of booing is absolute bo***ks. I often feel frustration or annoyance at what I’m watching but it never results in an uncontrollable burst of booing.

In fact I struggle to control reacting to a uselsss refereeing decision (happens often) or when we score a goal but I’ve never lost control enough to boo my own team.

What you suggesting then fiery zac? All those that booed thought about it the night before and decided on what minute they were going to boo. Sounds like a big job. Did they ring each other up or have a secret meeting? I doubt it was via social media because surely one of us would notice.

Mmm whose b0ll0ks is biggest. Guess you win.
