Booooo!

[NeilMorepies]

To boo, or not to boo? Do players notice and why do fans do it?​

Football: Are fans booing their own team and manager more?

Booing at football is an accepted part of the game. It's been around since time began, but are fans increasingly booing their own team?

Some interesting points here.

Do you boo?
Do you think it can be productive?
Does it help the team or just demoralise them when they are struggling?

Im back row so I don't think they'd hear my boos anyway so I dont bother

 

[MisterJ]

I'm booing the fans, it's allour fault

 

[Moomin]

I used to BOO but I watched Moyes win us the 4th place Trophy and realised I witnessed the greatest moment in sporting history and now I can die happy.

I've only ever seen us boo when the players aren't putting the effort in, and I've never felt like it's unwarranted.

I don't watch enough Burnley or Spurs to comment about them.

I honestly don't see the point. For the players who are up to standard, KDH, Garner, Ndiaye etc, it must make them think "Well sod yas" and for the shrinking violets, Myko, Barry, Keane etc, it makes them play worse as look terrified as it is.

It’s the only thing about this club that we can still claim is top class, our ability to boo

 

[Bedfordblue]

If we are to have a chance of reaching Europe this season, the booing MUST STOP!
Warm applause for our brave boys in blue will surely guarantee a top 7 finish.

Was booed…is being booed…will be booed..

Took my 4 year old the Sunderland cup game. He loved the booing, literally his favourite part of the day. Proper Evertonian!

I have boooed them many times over the past three or four seasons, cheered my head off and left myself hoarse many times too. I will say this, I can honestly state that I have never booed a player, or a team that weren’t good enough. I have only ever booed a player or a team who didn’t try hard enough.

I am also of the opinion that the vast majority of football fans do the same. The players who are savvy enough to grasp that do not get offended by booing, they know full well who is being booed and they know full well it isn't those who have tried their hardest!

McNeil for example, I have never booed him for being slow, or for being one footed, I have booed him lots of times for strolling around tha park looking like he can’t be 4rsed!

Proud dad moment!

Booooooooooooooo!

On the ever rarer and rarer visit to the ground, no I don't boo. I do try and be supportive but if the players are sensitive to people feeling disappointed with them, then I am probably worth 2 or 3 places in not going.

Christ, my heart, my precious heart. The title made me think we were playing today and I'd missed a proper cave-in.
