No need to go to a pantomime this season, just come to Hillsboro and watch Mystic Moore and his not so Merry Men. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that we should be aware that this will lead to a crap atmosphere, that it will get the players down and increase the amount of silly mistakes on the field. I cannot blame anybody who needs to air his frustration - I am just really getting desperate to get some good team spirit on the field and into the dressing room as I believe that is our only chance to stop this downward spiral. To say how terrible Wednesday have been last 2-3 years I think the players and the club have got off lightly. Think booing probably doesn't help in the short term but does let the club know that fans have had enough, You really can expect fans like me who are on not much more then minimum wage to sing happy songs when seeing multi millionaire players playing crap. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveyboy66 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I think a lot of fans are getting booed at home for their performance by their missus and judging by their performance on here I thinks she's right...it's only natural to give some back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO it doesnt, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The constraints of the modern human society only allows them to expressive their frustration by means of abusive grunts. It wouldn't matter if the players were well paid or not. the fans feel insulted so feel justified in returning in kind. Desmond Morris innit?

parajack Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 3 hours ago, @owlstalk said: The alternative and my preference (won't happen tho because people would rather put their own ego ahead of the teams needs) would be for the crowd to urge the team on from kick off and if a mistake is made or a goal conceded for that support to get louder (in a positive way) Basically when up against it to support MORE instead of just revert to booing that has been absolutely proven over the last 25 years NOT to work and to make things worse To me it's simple: 1) Players always tell you that if they get booed during games then it affects them negatively 2) Booing our own players during games makes them play WORSE 3) Most importantly it's been proven that booing our own players hasn't ever worked - for years and years and years - it just hasn't worked, doesn't work and won't ever work So given the above three points - why would anyone choose to booo our own players whilst they're playing? Called free will,we are all born with it,thats your opinion and i respect it,but it doesnt mean your right,Being a pro footballer means your going to work in the public eye,be expected to both produce and entertain.Be able to rtake the pressure that brings....Have your every move scrutinised sometimes by tens of thousands of people. Football as everyone agrees was nothing without spectators,its bear pit,even the design of our grounds are like the original arenas where people competed in front of a baying crowd,... Thats the origins of our sport,its not Rugby the sport of 'Gentlemen' it comes from the working class,and historically was played and watched by the working class.... we expect well paid cossetted footballers to step up to the mark and deal with it.(not boo hoo) Police do,service people do,firefighters & NHS do and get slated and called names,attacked,spat on thats abuse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodger Wylde Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I boo when a traffic light changes from green to red. I boo if my tea is rubbish. I boo when I get a bill through the post. I just boo all the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulixifer Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Booing at full time if the performance has been dross sure. Booing during a match though is stupid. Ain't going to help anyone's performance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Rogers Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 It's an emotional game. It's what got us all hooked when we went to that first game - pure unadulterated unscripted drama. It's what makes us sing, shout, swear and even hug a complete stranger. I love it all. A cathartic release for the common man at the end of the working week. And when emotions are high, people will boo as well. Some people can't help it when the performance is embarrassing. It's an involuntary, emotional reaction and that makes it valid. It's all part of the show and is completely natural. Start taking the emotion out of the crowd and the game dies a bit more inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
