I remember plenty of games in 70's and 80's where the Carra rang with boos at end of match. I agree that during the match you get behind the team at all times, and never pick on individuals unless they've shown dissent towards the crowd. But "It never used to be like that." What ****. Fans used to throw sharpened coins at each other to try and blind people, so I'm sure they would have a boo now again, Lakey is just a fool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted September 18, 2021 44 minutes ago, Petriix said: They got my support until the second Watford goal, then I lost my Sh*t. Normann's abject failure to track his man was simply unacceptable to me when I'd put my hopes on him being the CDM we needed to steady the ship. There very little to support on the pitch by the end of the match. Then the realisation that we'd been resoundingly beaten in our easiest fixture of the season made it pretty hard not to let those frustrations out. Totally agree. I couldn’t understand why Normann didn’t even attempt to run across to stop the cross from coming in, he just sort of dithered back half heartedly in a straight line, covering nowhere, and then looked shocked when the ball ended up in the back of the net? Very bizarre, I’m not sure if he could’ve completely stopped the cross, but he certainly could’ve closed the angles somewhat. And agreed we totally crumbled after that third goal went in, we couldn’t formulate any kind of threatening attack and continued to totally calamitous at the back. Was like the players were in shock.

Well b back 3,190 Posted September 18, 2021 You condemn the booing at the end, but not the booing of the taking of the knee. One was a reflection of a performance, the other a lack of support for the players supporting their views, I would think the players were more concerned with the booing of the taking of the knee. For what it’s worth I don’t boo and have supported Farke 100% throughout his reign, however even I had to say for the first time that performance put pressure on Farke and where we go from here. I remember you once telling us the performance does not matter purely the result. I think we are fast approaching a stage where we have to choose, do we enjoy seeing exciting young players coming through the ranks, or do we want a manager like Dyche and play the way of Burnley, Palace etc. Just like fans from the likes of Charlton and WBA, would we then boo 1:0 wins as they were boring ?

The cushions were always the best, but I think they were always aimed at the referee, I can’t remember them being thrown in a protest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never booed us in my life and never understood it and to me it always appeared to be tin-pot, even if things are were getting dire - for me the way to react when things are dire would be to show support - but if there is a justification for booing then yes, as a last resort....but to me it would still seem a bit tin-pot.

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted September 18, 2021 3 hours ago, curious yellow said: Do you reckon Farke thought we were pleased with that performance? He asked for support, the worse you perform, the more support you need-for the sake of the club. Instead when it goes wrong we react like spoiled kids upset with our expensive Christmas presents. That isn't an answer. You answered a question with another. If the team plays badly, at home, against a supposed relegation rival, the coach makes some strange substitutions and the team give up completely with the third goal, how do you show your displeasure? His call for support should have been heeded by the players. But now it seems fashionable, and by your reply, justified, for coaches to criticise supporters. Most of whom came before and will last long after. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you stand up and hurl abuse at them, hoping this will make things better? Farke wasn't criticising the supporters. He was asking them to get behind a team whose confidence was low. It worked with Pukki's goal. Nobody involved needed telling that the defending was not acceptable, especially not in such a childish manner. I would imagine the long standing supporters would be aware of the damage this can do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which ever ones of us paid to support the team today were badly let down. When you feel let down by the team performance or the managers inability to get more from his players despite a full week of training and preparation then you are likely to vent your frustration by booing. It is the universal way, the only way for a mass crowd to show displeasure without violence. I'm all for booing, the club need to realise we are some of the best supporters in the country and we deserve better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I should have just started the thread with the question "Is booing acceptable so early in the season" or something similar. Crowds have shown displeasure through booing throughout history, with the first written record of it in ancient Greece. At the Festival of Dionysia in Athens, the crowd would participate to vote on which tragedy they liked best, using shouts and whistles for plays that stunk. It was considered a civic duty to participate. So it has 'been like that' for several thousand years. Edited September 19, 2021 by Iwans Big Toe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kabak at fault for first goal - it’s his first game Normann at fault for the second - it’s his first game Mclean makes a mistake, they happen - could well be dropped The team for losing to Watford - continually failing is just 450 minutes as a team is it? It’s not even that as we haven’t had a settled side yet this season Farke as he’s the coach - won the championship twice so by your definition isn’t continually failing.
