@owlstalk Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 A player or manager (can't remember which) said the other day that online abuse will lead to a player suicide soon if it's not stopped I agree It's clearly going to go that way 2 1 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we practice "Hruumphing"...maybe organised "Tutting"...I mean "Pouting" would be ideal, but its hard to organise.... Its a natural reaction Neil...to abject crapness..... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) I don't boo. Not because Im against it, just because I dont. Never have done. But I understand why others do and they are entitled to do so. Edited October 25, 2021 by poite 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about abuse, that's not on, and anyone that does it, is pathetic, but if people have paid good money to go watch the crap served up recently, they have every right to voice their opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my job to deal with it.....Similarly in over 20 Years working pub & club doors in South Yorkshire I saw more than my fair share of abuse,physical assaults,and 2 deaths at work. Sorry footballers being booed is not abuse...its people booing a team/managers performance in the only way open to them.as a crowd. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Funny how people say booing has a negative effect. Using Saturday as an example they were embarrassing in that first half. Second half, after the booing, they came out and played decent for 15 mins and for us in the lead. So you could argue booing helped? We drew because we stand on our own goal line following any lead we take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our 60s team(s) were neither booed nor had cushions thrown at them to my memory. Cushions was at end of game to oppose ref's decisions ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteener1867 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I find it funny at times...not the booing as such, but the comments......One whole section of the Kop was in tucks last season when an old bloke who's usually quiet...stood up and screamed "STOP F.OOKIN' SPINNIN' BANNAN!!!!...wiv dribble coming down his chin....Me and the lad were still giggling about it in the pub an hour afterwards... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
