Booing the team after 1 game

[SET]

If it was you, you're a disgrace

[SuperMikey]

It was a shocking second half performance, but booing is a bit rash...

[LGTL]

Sums up that 90% of our fan base are utter, utter retards.

[Redondo Saint]

Really?

How many?

 

Quite sad.

[Special K]

If someone wants to boo, then that's their choice. I didn't but can understand why some did. It looked like a backward step from last season, AP looks ambivilent and there was no real energy in the performance. On what is supposed to be the grand season of achievement, it looks sadly like a recipe for a long hard winter of mediocrity through a lack of depth to the squad.

[S-Clarke]

Pretty sad tbh, but i expect it now. The OTT comments of people around me were ridiculous, one of the best ''Puncheon is not a league player''. please.

[Saints Warrior]

I think its a reaction to the hyped expectations the press and web sites have of Saints being title favs @ 13/5. If you went to todays game thinking it will be a tile winning season (where you cant lose to many games especialy vs a team we had today) and watched what was on display you would Boo, bang your head on the concreate steps, drink 5 pints very very quickly to forget the game. I certainly couldnt belive what I saw so maybe the Boo Boys watched something worth Booing for. It wasnt that different to the England games. Too much expectation on teams that are not as good as we think.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booing

 

Booing is an act of showing displeasure for someone or something, generally an entertainer, by loudly yelling boo (and holding the "oo" sound) or making other noises of disparagement, such as hissing. People may make hand signs at the entertainer, such as the thumbs down sign. If spectators particularly dislike the performance they may also accompany booing by throwing objects (traditionally rotten fruit) onstage, though the objects may not be meant to physically hurt the performer.

Ididn't boo, though I can understand why some did. I paid good money for a ST, upfront and in expectance for what our club advertised would be a fantastic season. Today was anything but.

 

As for the come on you reds dig... as the Northam is the only stand that manages to muster up some vocal support for the team (albeit an appaling attempt today).

 

There is no excusing the fact that today was poor. Ok, we were without Lambert... but were we not talking of winning the league?

[Viking Saint]

disappointing result, but even more disappointing reaction....the players and manager are under enough pressure carrying the tag of favourites without their own 'fans' booing them after 1 game....morons

Puncheon is sh1t. has been sincve his 4th game for us.

[Saints Warrior]

Spot on, throwing objects (traditionally rotten fruit) for next game. perhaps we need to bring Vuvuzelas to wake up the team.

I would have boo'd them and make no apology for it. Not good enough by a country mile and they need to know this in no uncertain terms.

[Deppo]

Is it really any wonder, seeing as 50% of this board were metaphorically booing the team BEFORE the first game?

Rubbish, we've spent a season faffing about in preparation for this season and our pre season and opening game have been poor. It's not good enough.

Go figure...

[alpine_saint]

This was a p*ss poor start to what I am led to believe on here is a nailed on promotion season. This team cannot deliver that.

 

I am not surprised some people sussed that out and booed.

[SaintBobby]

I booed them at the end. Cheered them on to the final whistle, apart from a few screams of "what the f&ck was that?"

 

Make no apologies for booing at the end at all

[saint J]

I know it's a cliche but it's only the first game, you cannot judge the team on this, once Plymouth scored there goal all 11 of their players got behind the ball and made it bloody hard to get through, give it another 3 or 4 games and if the results have not gone in our favour then yes start the witch hunt, but after one game those that boo'd are complete cants!

People were told that pre-season didnt matter and hold the witch-hunt until the first game.

 

People were told that AP is being canny in the transfer marked and hold the condemnation until the end of August. Today you saw the product of that, the reward for their patience.

[CitySaint]

People can do whatever they want. I didn't boo, but if people pay £391 to watch that dross over a season (including myself) they can vent their feelings however they want. Someone who boo's is not a disgrace, and 95% of people who do so, afterwards probably say, 'I shouldn't have done that' but in the heat of the moment, things happen that we all wish to forget. Somebody who wishes to divide and label part of his fellow fan base is a self-righteous 'disgrace'.

[SaintBobby]

What is this about booing at the end of a match being a disgrace? I can just about understand labelling any booing during the match as disgraceful, but once the final whistle has gone?

 

And why does it matter that it was the first match? Or is the received wisdom that you can boo, but only after 4 or 5 consecutive defeats?

[Born In The 80s]

Why so much hate towards those that booed? Just for the record, i booed as i was totally ****ed off with the performance. Am i not entitled to my opinion? As some have said previously, they've had months of preparation. Last year some pointed to lack of pre-season as an excuse. Well they certainly can't do that this time round. There are absolutely no excuses and today was extremely worrying. The players need to know that that kind of performance isn't good enough and fingers crossed, they got the message.

[for_heaven's_Saint]

I booed. Performance wasn't good enough, tactics were poor. Paid a lot for a season ticket and I feel our style of play was not suited to the team we had on the pitch.

[Micky]

I booed all through the 2nd half - nobody heard, I was watching it on Sky.

[docker-p]

If it was you, you're a disgrace

I don't agree.

The supposed link between constant encouragement, with no criticism, and better performance has never been proved. if the team play sh1t they should be bloody booed, although not during the game.

[Roger]

I booed and I am entitled having paid out for my season ticket and wathcing that rubbish. If you went to a show and it was crap you would boo and it might make them realise they have to play better next time or it may make pardew or cortese, whoever it is who signs players realise we need a new centre forward,centre mid and winger to kickstart our season.

[Saint_clark]

I booed, and yet I still think we will go up. There was no excuse for that second half performance after looking so strong in the first.

[explorer saint]

Very poor performance all round, bless them all if they get upset with a bit of booing, sure they wont be able to sleep tonight! And no I didn't boo but to be honest can understand why some fans did but to be honest it was a small minority

[ericofarabia]

I didn't boo at the computer screen showing me stuttering images .. but if we had a swear box it's takings would be worth a fair bit of dosh

[for_heaven's_Saint]

My sentiments exactly.

 

You can call me a disgrace all you like but I refuse to blindly cheer everything we do and just hope that everything's ok. If we're not good enough, the situation needs to be addressed.

[Appy]

Look on the bright side, we have 9 more points than this time last year.

[Charlie Wayman]

Either Saints are a wonder team with a crap manager or they have a brilliant manager but the team is crap. That's the only two explanations of today's abysmal performance. If you were booing who were you booing?

 

For my money the team looked totally disinterested today like they couldn't give a toss whatever the result. If so looks like Pards has lost his authority which could be because the team sense he's only a couple more defeats away from being fired or walking.

 

I'll wager that the next time we all troop up to SMS for a home league game he'll be history and we'll have some bloke called Angelino Spaghetti or some-such running the show.

[aintforever]

I'm booing this thread right now

[Saint_clark]

I'm booing this thread right now

 

Why FFS? The OP will know that he's had a poor thread, it doesn't need the likes of you booing him to tell him that. Get behind the high horse threads FFS.

I heard Spaghetti was a possibility too, what was your sauce?

[dickyhale]

There is no need to boo our team after 1 game. Like a radio station pointed out after the game (sorry if this has been poster but i have not read all the other posts what people have write) Norwich got smashed 7-1 and still got promoted.

[buctootim]

I dont why people booed - weird. I guess some people only see the result not the effort or performance and take no account of luck.

Unless they take into account luck, lack of effort and standard of performance and still think it's worth booing?

Must have watched a different game to me then.

[.comsaint]

We need to bring back scantily-clad, large-chested dancing girls before KO and at the HT interval. And at the final whistle win, lose or draw. Infact - have them serving behind the concourse bars & pie stalls too. I wouldn't care if we lost then. Am I a dirty old perv?

[Saint Billy]

[saintjinksie]

and you're a self righteous c*nt, thats life...

[View From The Top]

Corky Morris enjoyed a right good booing at the end. I'm not quite sure who it was aimed at TBH but it's good possability that it was JP and AP in equal measures. Either them or all the 'kin caravans on the A34/M3 which meant we missed KO.

[LostBoys]

Yes a few of us in the Kingsland stand had a go at a guy booing well before the final whistle. He then left and I hope he does not come back.

[Windmill Arm 2]

A lot of our fans are arrogant w@nkers, we are in League 1 for a reason.

[Deppo]

Rubbish, we've spent a season faffing about in preparation for this season and our pre season and opening game have been poor. It's not good enough.

 

Sounds more like you need to boo-hoo rather than boo. Have a lovely evening.

Of course Alpine expected to go the whole season without losing didn't you Alpine?, you tedious miserable twit.

SF79/Stanley/Dune has issues. Too much meow meow and too many NF rallies have addled his brain.

[Chez]

We dominated the game for all but ten minutes. Why anyone would boo that is beyond me. Dissapointed yes, but booing should be used when the side has given up or not bothered. I thought Saints fans were better than that.
