Newcastle were booed off on Monday - by some of the sparse crowd remaining. It happens.

That's what I took it to mean too. I think there was a bit of arguing/a minor altercation between the benches at the final whistle. I assumed it was related to that.

I also didn't hear any in WSU ... and I didn't put my beanie on until I was back outside the stadium.

Just watched it and as you say the interviewer is not referring to boo’s from the crowd….not sure how the OP has drawn any other conclusion

Hours afterwards in the cold light of day, it's easy for it to appear entitled, but it was a frustrating watch, especially that 2nd half.
From a crowd of approximately 30,000 of whom the vast majority would've been disappointed, "a few shouts of anger and frustration" is really nothing to get too worked up about IMHO. IIRC, there were a few shouts of anger and frustration at the Goldstone, a few more at Gillingham amongst the prevailing atmosphere of despondency, a few more at Withdean (Jobi McAnuff's 94th minute winner for Palace, managing to lose 3-4 to Rochdale in pouring rain...), and a few more at the Amex prior to last night. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
Fans react differently, the overwhelming majority would've bit their tongues and gone into the night. The fact that a few didn't, never have and never will doesn't fundamentally change who we are. That is, extremely appreciative and proud of a side that's playing such good football overall that there's now a belief and expectation, not entitlement, that we could, not should, come away with 3 points most games. Thus frustration expressed when we don't is in some way complimentary, although I'm realistic enough to concede that it's unlikely to be interpreted as that at the time.

Nail on the head!

I think groans are sometimes mishead as boos. Still at least nobody is moaning about FFD
I was saying boo-eanie.

Wtf has me being in Australia got to do with anything. If I was at the game and heard a **** booing trust me I would call them out. My location has sweet f*** all to do with how I feel. I spent years in the original North Stand so if you think I am just some armchair wanker, well I know exactly what you can do. And seriously you can understand fans getting upset, really! I'd love to hear your justification for that
Someone’s tired
It’s because it’s all well and good shouting from a keyboard when you weren’t at the match and knowing exactly what people were shouting at FT…….see other replies above my post.
The second half performance was shit, hopefully that’s enough justification, I didn’t hear anyone coming away from the Amex after the FT dancing around looking like they had a wonderful time…..hope this helps
Nobody booed the players in the West Lower and I doubt anyone did elsewhere either.
Have a stab at replying to post 27, this thread isn’t going as well as you hoped I think

I didn't hear any booing in the North except at the ref. Maybe we need a different way of expressing disappointment with the officials so it's not misunderstood.
There weren't many of us applauding the players off though.

I muttered FFS as I was walking out at full time.
