Should you cheer or boo if we're getting tonked

[jeremy beadles hand]

Following on from Chapmans thread, a lot of people think that the lads deserved to get boo'd last night. My opinion is you've got to get behind them even more please vote.

Give em a cheer cause its boosts the team and pisses off rival fans

 

[albiongirl]

I think you should get behind the lads but sometimes it is hard to cheer when we are playing shite!

 

[Italiaseagull]

Where is the option for have another burger?

 

[BrightonBird]

Get behind them. Why make them feel worse then they already feel?

 

[Sorrel]

Cheer for most of the game, but they need a few boos too - to make them realise that they're bad, if that's what they are. You can't just cheer no matter what.

You need some contrast, to make them want to try harder.

i sing for love and sing through the fear!

Well if you do get one, save one for me too cos after last night...

 

[REDLAND]

cheer and sing all the time, going to football is about having a laugh a well, can't do that if ya just moaning for 2 hours !!

 

[Bwian]

On nights like last night I just shrug my shoulders and then start laughing at how bad we are. I started off giving the team my full support, gradually shifted my energies towards the terrible ref and then eventually realised we couldn't score against a St Dunstan's XI so just laughed it all off.

Then I got home and realised

 

[BrightonBird]

Wonder who the one person who is who said boo?

I think I have an idea....

I think that if we had cheered at the end last night the players would probably think we are taking the piss.

you can't be a good

boooooo

just ask ms Dynamite

 

[zefarelly]

how can you cheer someone whos just performed like a complete fuckwit? sorry, praise where praise is due, but not when its not.

I think silence ind ignoring them is better than booing, most footballers thrive on attention, just walk off and ignore them like theyre not there . . . .thats'll piss em off.

although 3 successive defeats on the trot and I'd be booing

[Yorkie]

Neither

Silence speaks volumes

If the performance merits it I don't think there is a problem with booing, silence or ironic cheering. Luckily I missed last nights debacle, but in such situations I find that singing and cheering for a laugh tends to make the experience easier to bear. I think singing when you are getting tonked is more a piece of defiance on our part to let the players and opposition know that we cannot be beaten even if the team can.

I don't see why the players should expect unconditional support if they put in a performance as pathetic as last nights.
