Booing the team after 1 game

[View From The Top]

Totally agree with the OP: if that was you, do one!

 

How do you suggest that fans voice their displeasure at the effort of players or manager?

 

I'm not keen on booing myself but understand why people do and who am I, or you, to judge them?

I just think it's something kids do, would a grown man really point his thumbs down or anything like that? If it makes grown men feel better about themselves then that's their choice, I jsut think they need to get a life.

[broncoboy]

If you pay to attend you can cheer or boo if you like

 

It is not that they lost but in the manner they lost

 

If they are so delicate they cant cope with a few boos they have jack **** chance of getting promotion

 

Well done Kelvin you couldnt even keep the ball on the park

But you've still not answered the question, and I am being devil's advocate, how do we, the supporters, show our displeasure at the teams/players/managers performance or are we expected to just dumbly accept everything?

[Deppo]

I agree. If you pay to attend you can cheer or boo if you like. Or shout racist comments. I think paying to attend should give you the right to act how you like. I shouted at Pardew, "You're a bloody woofter!", which I think is fair enough as I paid to get in the game. If we lose on Tuesday, I am well within my rights to call Lallana "a f***ing c**t" to his face, as I will have paid to attend. I think we should also be allowed to throw things at the players too and perhaps physically strike them, if we pay a little bit more to attend.

[niceandfriendly]

Hahahahahahahahaha now our retarded fans on this forum are trying to tell people how to support their team.

 

HAHAHAHA

 

What a bunch of bed-wetters. I would have boo'd if I was bothered enough to go to the game, infact I boo'd from the pub.

 

People pay their money and can supports says any way they fookin well want.

 

I agree with you, if people want to boo they can. It'd be very strange in my opinion to boo after yesterdays game, they players tried hard but they just weren't good enough on the day. That's bloody football, no need to cry and whinge about it every time we lose.

 

All IMO of course, and look Stuey, no name calling in my post. It is possible!

Uber fans unite!!!!!

I know, I will write to Pardew & tell him that I was a little disappointed at some of his tactics & then to Mr Puncheon respectively asking why he ducked out of challenges & did not really look that interested.......I am not sure some of them could actually reply in writing, but hey-ho.

Actually, maybe John Smith (Uber Fan) could reply for them.

I wish I was as good a fan as you........

Still not sure how we express our disatisfaction?????

Maybe John Smith (Uber Fan) can answer the question as he has such a high intellect? Oh, sorry everybody I was reeled in by the 'uber fan' with a superioty complex...........

[Barry the Badger]

You are quite right. Which is why I have more respect for supporters of clubs like Leeds who continued to support their team for years even when things were going poorly rather than supporters who throw their dummies out of the pram after 1 game in 46.

 

I

 

Yep, and I'm sure the Leeds supporters you respect so much were just full of praise for their team when they lost, dishing out hugs to the players after each dissapointing defeat.

I didn't just boo I did a little poo on my seat to show my disgust. In the pub later on, I reflected on how I wish it had been someone elses seat as I'm back on Tuesday night.

Pooing the team after 1 game shows what a rubbish fan you are.

[RonManager]

When my old man was a lad, they couldn't boo the players because there'd been a war, and times was 'ard.

 

Booing was rationed until the mid 1950s I believe.

[John Smith]

Please, dry your eyes Mr Uber Fan.

 

People are free to support the club/ boo the players as they see fit. I appreciate that it may be a hard concept for you to grasp as you're obviously not to sharp and have been clearly brain washed to be the Sky version of a happy clappy football fan.

 

If you ever manage to throw off the restrictive mental shackles you may be capable of being a man an accepting others, but I somehow doubt it.

So, please show me in my post where I said that fans, people, whatever, are not allowed to boo? I think you'll find that I was in fact agreeing with you, in that I was booing the booers. Or, are you saying that I am not allowed to boo? Why shouldn;t I? You'll jump at others defence when they boo, but when I do it, you're all over me like a rash, telling me what I can or can;t do!

 

This is exactly why I dumbed down my original post, but obviously it wasn;t far enough.

 

I expect an apology for infringing my right to boo.

 

As for the uber fan, haha, and that coming from the cyber cops!

[The Dogman Of Bassett]

Sums up that 90% of our fan base are utter, utter retards.

91%.

[The9]

Where were you sat The9? I admit I was on the other side of the pitch in the first half, but I'm struggling to get my head round that description. Did he get to the byeline or actually put many crosses in? He certainly played some very nice cross field balls and kept the ball pretty well, but I don't recall him beating Molyneux. The second half was much worse and he bottled two of three tackles right in front of us on our side. He did beat Molyneux with one great turn, but he was second best several times and just didn't really do anything. I lie ther was that excellent cross field run and the shot just over te bar when coming inside. Decent moments showing he ability. More required though. This was not a display to win the Antonio/Puncheon arguement that was going on Friday night.

 

He's a left footed player playing on the right, why on earth would he be trying to get to the byeline anyway ? He went pass Molyneux endless times inside, had a couple of close shots, DID get to the line once or twice when forced that way (and won us a couple of corners) and other times kept possession and moved the ball well across to Dickson and Harding, who got crosses in from that side from the switching of play and keeping of possession in the final third.

 

And in the Northam.

[The9]

You forgot the wink. The9...? The wink. You know... ";)". Oh...

 

Puncheon was Awful. Yet again.

 

He had a good first 3-4 games, since then he has done nothing other than the odd moment or two of something alright. And as for yesterday... getting bullied by Lee Molyneux says it all.

 

No, no he wasn't.

[for_heaven's_Saint]

91%.

 

1 person doesn't equal 1%.

[saint_stevo]

Puncheon wasn't awful, and they didn't deserve to be booed after that. If we had been terrible and inept then fair enough. But we weren't.

 

Some people need to get a grip, and coming from me that is saying something

coming inside does not constitute beating the fullback. He never beat the fullback in the first half. You are far too generous to him. I guess you see the same things as Pardew. Both need to take a second look. You are right though, he is left footed so getting to the byeline means he is going to have to cross on his wrong foot. So I wonder why Pardew play hims there. Everyone knows that crosses from the byeline cause the most problems for defenders. He's a good player - I saw that a couple of years ago when he ws at Barnet, but he can do more and needs to in games like Saturday.

spot on, and I'm referring to the main part of your post not specifically the last part.

[saint_stevo]

He did beat Molyneaux in the first half and even clipped a ball over with his right foot once or twice. Overall much better with the ball than Antonio (who people think should be in our team over Puncheon and who i am sure people thumb a softy over because he has pace)

So, after this abuse and personal attack, even though I never said what these two bully boys say I said, still no apology!

 

I have made mistakes in the past, and am quick to correct myself. Sometimes we mis read things or attribute posts to posters unfairly. But these two guys are taking the biscuit!

 

How many times was Gorky Morris goading me with 'uber fan' taunts? View from the tw*t, believes I have been brainwashed! LOL! And all this based on something I didn't say.

 

Billy big boots come on here, giving it all the mouth they can, but when they're shown up to be nothing more than idiots on a mission, they slink away like all trolling posters, ignoring the fact that as a man, they should step up and make their apologies.

 

This is why this site has lost the plot. Because idiots like these now run the asylum. There is no dignity, no reasoning, no debate. Just abuse and counter abuse. I can;t be bothered with it. Mods, get a grip or you will lose this site to these idiots.

[broncoboy]

Booing is a wake up call to Pardew and the team that some of their customers or fans find their performance as unaccceptable.

 

I dont believe for a minute a professional footballer is put off by a few boos at the end of a match

 

If they lose but have done their best that is fine but when you see them clueless and and see them

crumble when they give away a ridiculous goal and see over the hill KD knock the ball out the pitch six times

 

Its time they got the message

[Chez]

He did beat Molyneaux in the first half and even clipped a ball over with his right foot once or twice. Overall much better with the ball than Antonio (who people think should be in our team over Puncheon and who i am sure people thumb a softy over because he has pace)

 

I think by now we all get it that you don't rate Antonio, but your dislike of him is such that you are now even exagerating the performance of Puncheon to justify your opinion, IMO.

 

I like both players by the way, but both have their faults and one or two of Puncheon's showed up on Saturday. As I said previously on this thread, I'm sure he will shine this year, but its is important that we have real competition for places to keep him on his toes. He is a real teachers pet and Pardew needs to push him a little bit more IMO.

Having just revisited this thread I see you are still spitting your dummy out.

 

Didn't your parents pay you enough attention as a child?

At the end of the day I am a customer of Southampton Footbal Club. The first team is the product that they sell and on Saturday they were not up to the standard that I expect. If I go out for a meal and it's ****, I send it back. If the team plays **** then I will boo. I have paid my money so I can voice my opinion.

Haha, pot, kettle, black. You are not big enough to apologise for being wrong. It's not about me spitting my dummy, because, I never said what you still cling onto. I wasn;t spitting the dummy, I was voicing my opinion through booing.

 

So, your arguement, petulance, idiocy, whatever you want to call it, is wrong. If you are to blind to see this, or too much of a little cry baby to admit you were wrong, then, like I said, it's due to the mental age erosion of this forum and you are leading the way my friend.

Mummy, mummy, the nasty man is saying nasty things about me on the internet, it's ok though as I said some nasty things back and told everyone how the internet is now rubbish and he's a thicky. Do I get a gold star?

[ohwhenthesaints]

Sometimes booing is appropriate, mostly when the team doesn't put in any effort. Can you really say that they didn't try on Saturday? Also, where was the support during the game when they needed it most? I thought our fans were crap on Saturday.

[John Smith]

Ahhh, I see your second mistake. Nope, not upset about the name calling. The name calling was however, linked to your inability to understand what I said. You were wrong. And the name calling is something you then went onto exaggerate to cover up the fact that you were wrong and you should apologise for being wrong.

 

Go on, be big enough to admit your mistake, it'll make you feel better.

[The9]

the Rooney thing in the World cup suggests it does get under their skin, especially if they think they have tried their best, if only to fail.

 

Was that some kind of defence of Rooney criticising people who'd travelled halfway around the World to see England v Algeria, or are we both agreed that in that case the boo-ers were more than justified and Rooney was just mouthing off out of frustration ?

[The9]

Were they saying Boo or Boo-utterfield ?

 

(with apologies to The Simpsons writers).

[tartanowl]

That was a poor result. I was a bit shocked. Plymouth were one of only two teams (Blackpool being the other) that we did the double over last season. They're crap and I can't see them doing anything this season. It's a bit early to be booing though. If you're adrift after ten games then it's the time to be vocal. I'm not a fan of people getting on players backs early in the season. There's a long way to go yet!

[corky morris]

The Rooney thing is interesting? Gerrard has come out today & said every fan has a right to boo! He says its a message to the players to improve according to Sky Sports News.

 

What do people need to apologise to you for?

All you have to do is apologise, and we can put this to bed. If you're big enough to have a go, be big enough to apologise when you;ve been an absolute numpty. The longer this goes on, the harder it will be, and I aint gonna stop, so it's down to you to be a man.

 

Nice pic by the way, was this you this morning?

[Saint Fan CaM]

Don't need supposed supporters booing their own team - it detracts from my enjoyment of the game and it's counter-productive in terms of success. So if you want to boo go watch Pimpley - you'll be acting more like a proper Saints supporter by doing so.

[SaintDonkey]

If I go out for a meal and it's ****, I send it back. If the team plays **** then I will boo. I have paid my money so I can voice my opinion.

Personally at the end of the day I am a supporter of Southampton Footbal Club. If all you are is a customer then perhaps you want to shop around for a superior product?

 

That's not to say I wouldn't boo Saints - I have done in the past when they have deserved it. But after the first game of the season when we outplayed the opposition for all but 10 minutes during which they scored with their only shot all match? For large parts of the match played better against Plymouth than we did against Bournemouth - should we have booed the team off last night?

 

For all the hiding behind "professional footballers don't mind boos" it's obvious from Pardew's comments that it does get to them, just as cheering can raise them. So let's cheer for now and save the boos for when they really deserve it.
