Booing our players

[Soul Finger]

Just been in the club shop and bumped into a friend who was at Hull.

He told me Albion fans booed McGammon when he came on.

That really is pathetic.

How is he supposed to improve or get any confidence when he's booed before kicking a ball in frustration.

I do realise that he probably doesn't care but he plays for US.

if thats true that isnt good news i feel sorry for the poor guy! how is he ever suppose to perform if his own fans are against him.

I also heard from someone at the game that some fans booed Oatway at the end of the game..

You heard! If you had been at the game you would know why the useless c**t was booed! If their first goal was anyones fault (apart fron the Ref!), it was his - he was nearest to the man, yet he started to give the other players shit! He has no pace, no skill and should not even be on the bench! FACT!

I have had this arguement last night on this forum.

I still cant work out how destroying a players confidence is supposed to make him play better. All I can see is that it helps us loose games and points.
Race also made some telling comments about the early abuse of Butters. Amazing how some fans are deluded into thinking it did him good in the long run. All I can see is that it cost us a season of his skills.

Hmm.

Crumps was also booed before he turned it round thru hard work determination and commitment.

Nothing wrong with booing players at the end of the game - its usually a sign of a particularly rubbish performance. I'm sure that during the game they are more than aware of their own inepititude.



I have been known to start laughing at various Albion players during particulalrly horrific games - consecutive 4-0 Defeats at brentford spring tp mind.

That is pathetic Buck. By all accounts he was one of our better players 2nd half. Booing a player b4 hes even played is WELL out of order. you know it yourself, I hope your embarrased by your comment.

Nope because I knew I would get a reaction.

I did not hear him being booed, but then I was still in the bar for the first few minutes of the second half.

On a serious note when it comes to getting on players backs I have no real issue with them getting a slagging on here and after a pony performance comments made at the end of the game. However it is not really all that productive to get on their backs during the game, but people do get frustrated.

Where i was sitting people infront of me, booed Big Mac when he even touched the ball, he did well on Saturday and people who boo your own players are complete muppets.

Fair enough and I know all that, but I still wouldn't boo a Brighton player.

Didnt hear any booing when he came on, although there wasnt exactly a cheer either!

Good point, well made

And how about immediatley before kick-off when the opposition PA guy is reading through the Albion team-list? More constructive criticism and frustration obviously

 

[Albion Dan]

I agree that it is to a point ok to slag players off here, although the Butters thing went way to far, and that can have a negative impact on the team as a whole.

I have also booed very poor performances, after the game. But to boo a player before hes kicked a ball is way off the mark.

How could you "know all that" if you did not go to the match? Trust me, Oatway's performance would have tried the patience of a Saint!

I know nothing about that, but then I am rarely anywhere near my seat when the teams are being read out. If I am in a ground before 1455 that is some achievement.

Silent Bob, 3gulls is talking garbage. We lost the first goal because Leon lost the ball and was arguably fouled while doing so. Blaming Oatway is as ridiculous as blaming David Lee.

I meant about his lack of pace, skill, any sort of ability etc. I've seen plenty of bad Oatway performances.
