Can anyone explain

[sneggyblubird]

I've been going since the seventies too and seen some very,very poor City sides down the years but never once booed a City side off the pitch and never shouted anything I wasn't prepared to say to their face should the need arise.

My god, we must have all of our mother Theresa section of fans on this thread alone.

I have never bod'd half time or full. How do the players know if it was aimed at them, the manager, or the ref. But, I moan at the players and manager all game. I sit in "HH" so it's just venting, I doubt the guys in "AA" can hear me

Its professional sport, not amateur or juniors, its big boy's stuff with huge rewards, so critiquing and the occasional poor comment is part of the profession these boys have entered. We pay these lads roughly £400K~£1,500,000 a year. It's a great gig to get into if you can. We are not talking about Pontyclun U11's here.

If I am not happy with my decorator I tell him, its just an extension of that.

We all have our favourites for whatever reason, I'd never listen to a poor word about Whitts but Gunnarson took about six seasons before I appreciated his contributions. We all have our biases

You wouldn’t moan like a pussy at your decorator before he even started though would you? Or get him back to your house every other week and moan like f*ck would you?

You'd moan at the decorator after he'd finished the first room. You'd phone the company and request another decorator. If they sent the same decorator out a second time and he starts making another hash of the job you're unlikely to give him the chance to finish the room before you rip into him.

That's not remotely the same is it? You wouldn't applaud him doing some quality cutting in either would you you melt. Nothing wrong with complaining when we're being served up crap in a football ground.

Your reply is better than the one I typed previously.

If the crowd have any enthusiasm on arrival it is soon doused by the limp starts we continually produce. Talk about the opposition ‘silencing the crowd’, they don’t have to.

Absolutely. I've never heard a pundit saying the crowd should get behind the team. It's always that the team should give the crowd something to feed from.

I'm with you here. I can't see how getting on the players' backs helps anything. Trouble is on here, as Blue Matt says, that you're seen as a happy clapper if you're not frothing at the mouth 24/7 so you're part of the problem.

As I said about Ralls in another thread, players don't make mistakes on purpose and they know when they've mishit a pass or whatever, they don't need people pointing it out to them and then reminding them about it all game. How's that going to help their confidence? Each to their own though, I guess.

Absolutely spot on.

I went to yesterday's game, first one in a while, within 4 seconds of kick off I was pissed off at Nat Phillips for booting the ball upfield, kept it to myself, but you could sense early where I was sat people weren't at all happy with Bowler. Nobody seemed upset that people weren't all praise and love for every player on the pitch.

Im a grown man, ill have an opinion and im not really arsed what anyone else thinks because I respect other grown men have their own opinions too, if something bothers you do smothering about it, tell the fella nicely that he's spoiling yours and others gamed experience.

He won't know unless he reads the board.

It wasn’t me who brought the decorator into the thread you absolute goon.
The bottom line is, if you’re gonna shout and moan all through the game, then why go in the 1st place? Nobodies frog marching you into the ground are they?
It’s not as though anything’s gonna change with this manager and squad. You know what to expect as soon as you walk in.

Ha ha sorry mate it wasn’t. You’re only half melted now.

The point of going to a game to just slag off your suppoised own team and manager for 80 odd minutes? Bloke and his mate sat near us yesterday, never seen them before. From about the second minute until they left with about 10 minutes to go constantly bitching and moaning. The one guy, big bald chap, was particularly vociferous and had a big dislike for Collins and to a lesser extent Meite. And of course he was full of telling the manager where to go. Fortunately he was a bit less shouty second half, especially when we scored. I don’t get what someone like that goes to a game for? I get we weren’t great again yesterday, but at least support the team you’ve come to watch! It reminded me a bit of Crewe away in the cup when a known hooligan from back in the day was racially abusing a City player, and the FA Cup final when the teenagers behind us were again racially abusing a City player. Surely a “supporter” supports?

Some people on here spend years slagging off everyone at the club from Managers to the tea lady, some people are just born miserable, it's there way it makes them fulfilled.

the fact they lasted 80 minutes is astonishing

that's why I wrote apart from

Oh c'mon Matt!
You can never say "never" if you HAVE abused a player.
It's a bit like someone saying.. "I never drink alcohol, apart from a Friday night and Saturday night".
