Saint Garrett Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 I really don't understand why people boo our players, especially when they haven't even got on the pitch. He's been a big part in our promotions, and played our best football last year when he was in the side. Yes he's erratic but he's done nothing wrong this season so far to warrant the abuse he gets from our so called 'fans' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Malc Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 I have never, ever booed the team, or members of, even AFTER a humilating defeat and I know the question is meant in the best possible taste but people can boo if they like.

shirleysfc Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 My problem is that our star players never get criticised when they turn in poor performances, yet we boo our average players when they're, well, average. Put it this way, if kid A was straight A student but started to turn in Ds would you express your disappointment or say unlucky and boo your consistent straight D child when they got home from school?

Miltonroader07 Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 I think that we all get on some players backs at some time, we all have rights when we pay our money for our tickets, I don't think it helps but we have the right. Support for the team is paramount at all times and I for one think that if the fans "have a go" at a player then the player will also know he has screwed up so the next tackle or interception is more important, and once he has done that we all move on.

That said, booing a player when he comes on or makes a mistake is on a level of stupidity right up there with singing 'Papa Waigo always offside' or 'there's only one Chris Baird' after that altercation with Kelvin Davis...

Chez Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 especially as he had a very good game at West Ham IMO. No doubt the boos were because he was selected to play left midfield whilst the `god-like' Lambert was left on the bench. How dare he. The 4-1 defeat was clearly his fault. In contrast the man that made that decision had his name sung by the masses. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfc1976 Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 Not acceptable to boo Guly. After all, it's not his fault that he's regularly picked to play Premiership football. I suspect he can't believe he's getting away with it either! The whole thing has become like some never ending Ali Dia-esque nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aintforever Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 I've never understood why people boo their own players, it is retarded. I also don't understand why people get so wound up by it, especially the sensitive nerdy types you get on here. Footballers are very thick skinned and well paid, a few nobheads booing is not going to make them cry. If people want to boo or express their opinion they have every right to do so. A mate I go with gets wound up and shouts abuse, he thinks that they might put more effort in if they think they will get a hard time if they don't. Not something I agree with.

I lost respect for Guly as a football player last season (Pompey away) he has not (imo) had a good game since. I can agree with the ineffective and uninspiring, I don't agree with the lazy. He puts as much effort in as Lallana (and has the same lousy defensive awareness) in my opinion. But even if you think he's a lazy **** that shouldn't play a minute more for us, why in gods name do you boo the guy for just getting on the pitch?! What are you trying to accomplish? Just cross your fingers and hope he puts in a decent performance and perhaps boo him if he is not putting in the effort but booing in advance is just petty and counterproductive.

Halo Stickman Posted 30 October, 2012 Share Posted 30 October, 2012 At one of my first ever matches I turned to my dad and asked why the Saints’ fans kept booing one of our own players. ‘Every team has a whipping boy, nipper’, he said, ‘and right now Fred Kemp is the Saints’ whipping boy’. Over the many years since then I’ve come to realise the truth of this and also that once a player adopts this unwanted – and often unwarranted – status, there’s virtually nothing he can do to win those supporters around: Guly could score a hat-trick and then stand outside the stadium handing out his wages to departing fans and there would still be some that would boo him the next match Usually, the best recourse open to these unfortunate players is to leave the club and, ironically, when they do this they often end up becoming firm favourites at their next club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We even used to jeer at Mick Channon in the early days. But the Guly situation has become a little ridiculous with seemingly otherwise intelligent people booing him and insulting him. He has been uninspiring so far this season, really needs a goal to get his confidence back. But what really annoys me is the claim that he is lazy, when it is so obvious that he is anything but, probably covers more ground per minute than anyone apart from Spiderman, and has far more defensive ability than many other players. But mud sticks, and he will always be branded a liability in the box because of the OG. Bottom line though anyone who actually boos a player when he comes on to the pitch is a knob, and sadly we have plenty of those amongst our so-called fan base.

However there's a element on here that will never admit this because they made their minds up a year ago that Guly is great, and any number of subsequent mediocre performances won't change that fixed view one iota. I call it 'Saganowski Syndrome' - if a player (briefly) performed well in the past, this then guarantees he must be constantly on the verge of recapturing that good form.
