What is the BIGGER crime...

[Trigger]

In your opinion...

 

[disgruntled h blocker]

I left with about one minute to go in injury time as the game was just so frustrating, and had things to do last night (and had to navigate past the Shoreham Airshow).

Don't see anything wrong with leaving early, you pay for ticket; you can leave when you like... But booing is pretty pathetic imho.

 

[algie]

Booing is not a crime.Needs to be done sometimes.I don't blame the people who did yesterday.

 

[Titanic]

Neither is a crime.

 

[Happy Seagull]

Booing as you leave 5mins early?

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

I'd never leave early as it means you can't boo them off at the end.

haha, excellent

Neither is a crime as I don't believe you are likely to be arrested. As a customer you are entitled to express your view of the game. If you are watching a great game and you boo then I am sure your fellow supporters will shout you down. Equally, if you are watching a crap performance you can leave early. I did at Palace when that 5th goal went in. Never left a game that early before or since.
Harty on the phone in was talking crap saying you shouldn't boo and even John Byrne could not agree with him.

i booed and left early, first time ive ever left a match early too, the only other time i booed before was the 2-1 defeat at forest few years ago

Booing isn't a crime but its f***ing annoying, yes you pay for your ticket - but does that entitle you to become manager? No - it doesn't - and a lot of people think so. Its blooming disrespectful.

The reason why you are paying for a ticket and sitting in the stands - is that you are a SPECTATOR - ie YOU ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE ON THE PITCH!! If you're so bloody special get out there and do it yourself - week in week out, with the crowd boo-ing you - then see how it feels.

Leaving early is a far more respectful way of showing your disapproval. Just imagine if the whistle blew and the players all looked up to notice the stands were empty - thats a message and a half.

IMO we should employ snipers to shoot all those who leave early.

 

[beorhthelm]

never leave early, you never know what might happen.

Neither are as big a crime as taking a half decent footballing team and making them play the long ball game...

 

[northstandnorth]

leaving early and yes i include standing on the running track is the biggest crime any football fan could commit.


I have stood my ground in the face of a home defeat AND portsmouth scum in the north stand... neither was a good enouth reason to go early.. but i would never boo the albion off either( and i was there for the palarse 5-0 and cheered the albion off)

Why on earth did you cheer them off at Selhurst?

 

[Elder for England]

I think both are awful. Booing is completely unacceptable in my opinion, even if the team has played badly I would never boo. I think people that do so are pathetic and it's actually quite thick. Everybody has bad days and the players themselves know when they've had a bad game, they don't need to be told by a group of people who aren't good enough to play themselves or some that don't even know much about football.

Leaving early (mainly for their bus I imagine) isn't good either, what is the last few minutes going to hurt?

On both of these subjects, yes you've paid and are entitled to an opinion but that's what the phone-in and chat forum is there for; to construct a valid point or argument not to just senselessly boo.

 

[northstandnorth]

because there was no way i was going to show those scum how much it hurt.

at the end i stood on my seat and i made sure i showed the scum my blue and white shirt and how proud i was to wear it in their shit hole of a town

you booed a Mark McGhee team? SICK

 

[Rookie]

never understood why people leave early you pay for a ticket and know what time it will finish therefore you plan accordingly. Booing on the other hand has a time and place
