Guest goal! Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Those booing, and yes there was a small amount, are the same minority of "supporters" who will never be happy unless we magically turn in to Man U and even then they'd boo at dropping points.... You're probably talking about 5% (possibly more) of our fans who'd still find something to complain about if Mourinho had of taken over last month and spent £80m on transfers! Yes we've been put through some shit games, yes we've got shit players, but KK isn't going to turn things round overnight. Only thing we can do as fans is try and support the 11 out on the pitch, hell you can sense the nervousness transmit from the fans to the players at our home games when impatience kicks in if we haven't scored and/or played well within the half an hour!! These twats might feel they're entitled to criticise and boo whoever, whenever and for whatever when they've paid their money for a ST or MT, but at the end of the day they must be pretty stupid not to work out it's detrimental to our team and club, especially at this important time when we could be dragged into a real relegation battle.

abcdefg Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Thing is, booing the ref, who knows who it's intended for? I'm a traditionalist myself, and prefer to suggest that the referee likes to touch himself, down there a lot. Need a new chant for incompetent linesmen.

Gaz Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I thought the atmosphere would be excellent today but it was shocking until we scored even level 7 were quiet til the goal.

Guest fraser Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 It simply can not and will not help at all, its extremely selfish and in my opinion is spoiling our club. Selfish? I pay £400+ a year for a season f****** ticket, they are paid £50,000+ a week and can't even give us a decent game of football in return. So don't f****** dare say that I'm selfish, they are bottling cowards and they are spoiling our club. sorry like but youre a c*nt of the highest order. If the team arent giving you what you want which by the looks of it is ''a decent game of football'' (nice one perpetuating the skysports myth there) then why dont you bin your season ticket at the end of the season and save your £400. Then next season if we sign some good players your seat will be taken by a real SUPPORTER who has SUPPORTED the team through not only the good times but also the bad. Dear Erich, You don't even have a season ticket. £400 plus? When you watch what we watch you know EXACTLY how much it costs. Kind Regards, Fraser.

sturla Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I went to my first match this season today. I invited my son with me. All in all it cost me about 1200 quids all in all for flight, car, hotel and food. Didn't see the best match but it was worth it anyway. Will come back next year. Didn't hear any booing from the milburn stand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Lol Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Any booing I think is all part of the 'I want it now' attitude, happens a bit all grounds other than Man Utd, Chelsea etc I don't agree with 'season ticket' theory either, a fan is a fan, supporting through thick and thin. How many people went to see Newcastle prior to their promotion? Significantly fewer people than go nowadays, even allowing for the fact that SJP has been enlarged.

STM Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 It makes me cringe hearing people boo. Not because they aren't right to have an issue considering they have spent so much to watch a very average side but because it simply isn't going to correct our position. One of the worst things that can happen is the media thinking that the fans have turned on the manager, it's a downhill road from there. Personally i want a very quiet end to this season, with a few good performances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I heard a couple of boos but could figure out if it was for the ref our our players etc. People were getting upset when we made a few mistakes and werren't stroking the ball about like Real Madrid.

In all seriousness I agree with you, a fan is a fan but with the qualification that many of us have had season tickets for a very, very, very long time. I have mine because I go every week because it is so important to me to support this team. I'm prepared, with tens of thousands of others, to make a not insubstantial financial commitment to be able to watch them. I don't boo the players and cannot stand it.

Northern Monkey Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 u can't complain fans who pay over £40 want to boo, they pay their money their can do exactly what they want we haven't won in over 7 games now i cant complain about people complaining? the difference is i'm trying to do something constructive that will HELP the club, you know, support? dont mention ticket prices to me, if you consider it too expensive dont pay and dont go, its not like paying to see a band, you're not guaranteed anything in sport and people need to remember this, you're exactly the sort of person i'm fighting against. I don't personally boo, but how do you suggest fans, who go to the game and - rightly - feel let down, get across the point to the manager and players that some players simply should not be playing for us, and that certain performances are not acceptable?

I don't think that solely playing for us shoudl make a player immune from criticism, or that the team as a whole shoudl be utouchable just because its NUFC. HOWEVER, i do believe it has a time and place, even in these circumstances - after a game, not during.

morpeth mag Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I sit low down in the Leazers and there was a definite hint of booing at HT though I didn't see anyone specifically. Agree it has to stop but also think it's 3 to 4 years frustration still coming out and a few who perhaps don't realise the task ahead of KK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jungle Barry Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Whilst agreeing with the original sentiment the only booing I heard today (from the middle of the gallowgate)was for mincing mike dean, what a f*cking coward. grrr Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Any booing I think is all part of the 'I want it now' attitude, happens a bit all grounds other than Man Utd, Chelsea etc I don't agree with 'season ticket' theory either, a fan is a fan, supporting through thick and thin. How many people went to see Newcastle prior to their promotion? Significantly fewer people than go nowadays, even allowing for the fact that SJP has been enlarged. I thought Chelsea were getting boo'd around Christmas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
