Booing our own players

[Alex Sapphire]

You don't remember Edghill getting booed?? Or The Goat?

As a kid sat in the Kippax there were plenty of times I remember City being booed off at half time. Its nothing new!!

The only different is the players back then weren't the best but most of them tried 100% (Jamie Pollock). Now we KNOW the players that are wearing the blue shirt have the ability to do whatever they want.

If they're not giving 100% then they'll know about it. Not because the fans want to boo the club. But they want the players to realise that they've paid good money to come to watch City and they don't deserve to have the piss taken out of them.

I honestly do not remember Edgehill & the Goat being booed, I would have told people to knock it on the head back then as well. I remember them being slagged off at the time, but I did not hear / notice the booing.

The players know when they are playing shit or making no effort, they do not need us to tell them, the club employ Bobby Manc to do this, our job as supporters is to support.

I was as pissed off as everyone else at half time, I still got behind my team, applauded and joined in with the few songs that went round from start to finish.

I think back then fans' "unrest" put so much pressure on players that they went to shit. Edgy was one.
I also remember Whitey when we went to Wednesday (prolly a cup game) and every time he touched it you could feel the crowd's disappointment. Finished him in my view.
That was maybe worse than booing, but at least it wasn't the blunt instrument of booing. Don't know how a warrior/100%everytimer like zabba would feel to be booed off .

I think Zab would go home and dry his tears with a few £50 notes.

I'm not sure where I stand on this but it seems a few people are more concerned with us being "rag like" than what actually goes on on the pitch.

Sorry mate edgehill had already gone to shit before the fans started. It was the final nail in his city coffin though. Like I said above, was it the booing that cause him to never play above league 1 again, or was it that he was actually, a player in serious decline.

People need to take responsibility for their own performances rather than blame every cunt else

Which City-player blamed everyone else in the team? If that happened he should be crucified. Who was it?

you raise a good question about what a smart arse might call cause and effect
was edgy finished or did we finish him?

agree completely about responsibility and think that professional athletes at this level get that.

I am definitely on the 'each to their own' fence here, but I would like to ask the sanctimonious majority how exactly you should convey your feelings of frustration and disappointment to the players, and I'll bet bobby didn't spend 15 minutes praising them for their first half efforts at halftime.

Can I suggest that everyone turns their back on the team in unison and jump up and down to vent frustration.......oh wait

[carl_feedthegoat]

The fact is that we are well in the title race after a poor start and once we hit form we'll be head and shoulders in front. Those who boo do so because they have the rag arrogance and they believe it is their god given right to win everything immediately because our players are paid well, I always thought that City fans were better than this but some on here prove that the only difference between them and the rags is their shirt colour.

To be honest I'm pretty sure the club would agree with us true supporters who are ashamed that we have this minority of horrible little cunts who think its acceptable to behave like rags, but then every club has its wankers.

You have turned into a right little prick in this thread.....TRUE FUCKING SUPPORTERS SUPPORTED CITY WHEN WE WERE FUCKIGN SHIT SHITE SHIT and I used to go and watch the droll most away games back in the 80,s....WHERE WERE YOU ?

Booing at HALF TIME (the key word there is half time and not during play) is acceptable and if plebs like you cannot see it then tough shite.

nice one... ;)

btw I have learnt to love You all, irrespectively.
we should all feel like this.
that's the special of being City: best Club and best Fans in the land and the whole world.

It's just internet, I mean. it took me plenty of time to learn...
just, if I humbly may dare and suggest, just let's swap the use of the word rags with old fashioned and more friendly addressing like fuck off, twat, cunt and so... I never saw a rag posting in this forum, well, unless upon special invitation.
just saying

I don't agree with supporters booing their own, something not right with it at all

be fair
most of those labels were directed at the people who actually booed not the two or three on here (mostly in another time zone) who "would've"
I won't get involved in the rag comparisons

My booing should have been heard even from here in Punta Fucking Cana...it was that loud....and if someone thought a drop of rain hit them in the crowd it might have been my spittle.

Quite a strange thing to do mid-game. Searching for this thread I mean.

Lol I couldn't believe what I was watching. Not really that bothered as I've pretty much written off Europe anyway.
