Saintmike666 Posted 30 August, 2008 Share Posted 30 August, 2008 Shame on you all! I am ashamed to have you as fellow saints fans. The last thing this young team needs is stupid tw*ts booing them at the first instance of things not going completly our way. To make matters worse it was a live on sky!

Hopefully they ignore the boo's. Indeed it is a disgrace. So embarrassing to think that countless football fans that watched that game up and down the country will have got that impression of us. Most worrying thing is that it didn’t sound like only a few booing either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weston Super Saint Posted 30 August, 2008 Share Posted 30 August, 2008 They paid their money and were treated to about 25minutes of 'football' from us today. They have every right to show their feelings after today's performance. I'm pretty sure most of them were there on tuesday too, and were clapping and cheering at the end, but no mention of that eh?

A football supporter should support should they not! If it was the middle of February and we hadn’t won a game in 15 then ok I just about understand people wanting to vent there frustration. But certainly not four games into the season and especially as most of our team are so young. Turning against the players so quickly will only destroy any confidence the team has managed to build up.

exit2 Posted 30 August, 2008 Share Posted 30 August, 2008 So reading the posts / time above, it seems that those complaining about the boos were not even there! Have to say near enough everyone around me was booing at the final whistle, and to be honest if they paid their money to watch that crap today they have the right to boo. We have seen enough crap football like today for the past couple of seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes of course it is. However they need something to support do they not? Played four and lost three doesn't make good reading, add to that the possibility of being bottom of the league by the end of the day isn't too encouraging is it?

I wasn't there for this one no. Purely because of the distance I live from Southampton and because I had been to the previous two games (Derby and Brum) and couldn’t afford 3 games in a week. Regardless though, what’s your point? We didn’t go so our opinion is somehow void? Tosh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the game on tv, so infact i watched the match. My reaction would have been the same at st.marys or not. I wouldn't boo the players like that - a young team that needs consistantcy, not a bunch of nob ends randomly booing. But then of course at our next match the same fans will be going delirous if we win and ****ing over the same players they just booed today. Cretinous.

Arizona Posted 30 August, 2008 Share Posted 30 August, 2008 I have to say I was disgusted at the stick they were getting from the crowd today. In the last 20 minutes I was hearing shouts of "FFS!" and groans, rather than "you can do this" and enthusiastic singing. DMG's crossbar effort at the end shows anything can happen at 1-0. I think some people need a bit more patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it’s not great but it is fair to say that this is probably the first really bad show from the lads (regardless of the final score).

I think some people need a bit more patience. As I mentioned before, some fans may have got so use to us playing good, flowing football the past 6 games that they were just not used to seeing us pushed about by a load of northerners? For what its worth, I hope this acts as a mini wake up call for Jan that you can't beat teams like Blackpool playing the pretty stuff. I still have a massive amount of respect for the man, but today showed unfortunatly that his policy of total football just can't cut it (regardless of the opening 15 mins) against some of the 'bruiser' teams.

Fair point. But if that is the case I think those people need to learn to get over it! This is virtually a different team we are supporting this year. Fresh start, new horizons and all that..

Due to Barnsley playing Derby and Burnley playing Plymouth, we can't be worst than 3rd bottom. If both games are draws we can't be worse than 5th bottom.

SuperMikey Posted 30 August, 2008 Share Posted 30 August, 2008 They have every right to boo. The performance from the players this afternoon was below par and aggravating. Blackpool played their physical game well and deserved their win. Our team looked lightweight and were completely bossed by the big Blackpool side. If I had been there I would've booed too, we really ought to have picked up 3 points today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it is being overstated to cover up the poor performance both on and off the pitch by our management team, they were out thought and out fought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalypig Posted 30 August, 2008 Share Posted 30 August, 2008 From the Sky coverage it appeared that most of the booing was directed at the officials and the Blackpool players. Some odd decisions and cynical gamesmanship on show. That said, our defence looked shaky, lacked pace and conviction and played a very risky strategy of sitting in a very high line way up the pitch. Caught out on numerous occasions. Something needs to be done there. Going forward we kept possession well for the most part but lacked cutting edge and overcomplicated things too often. Fingers crossed these will come right sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushey Saint Posted 30 August, 2008 Share Posted 30 August, 2008 The only booing I heard (I was there) was at the ref and time-wasting Blackpool players. Heard that too, and joined in. But in my opinion there were also far too many in the crowd who seemed more prepared to groan at a misplaced pass or even boo when we were under pressure than to give encouragement. This did transmit itself to what is a very young group of players. I didn't see any heads go down, but I did notice one or two starting to 'freeze' - fear of failure taking over from the earlier confidence in their own ability.

In the last 20minutes or so it became very evident. Well I was inside the stadium and didn't hear any booing towards the players until the final whistle had been blown. Towards the end of the game a lot of people were losing patience with the ref and were frustrated by Blackpools time wasting, which is what the booing was for. There was a chant of 'you dont know what you're doing', also aimed at the ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
