They are but at the same time we should be aware of where we are in the league. We're flying high and doing well. A poor 45 minutes doesn't deserve booing, get behind the team. I'm not saying happy clap but have some self awareness. Three points and job done, move on to the next game. |

Think the booing was for the lack of chances we had some will say rightly so others will say not so

To be fair, I didn't hear any booing from the main stand where I was located.
Given the first half was poor it wouldn't have been unexpected but to be fair I think we all know we're capable of more, and as soon as the second half started we all saw the response we wanted.
I'm certain that in previous seasons we would have messed that up, particularly towards the end when we were hanging on a touch, but it's still 3 points for a win no matter how we get it.
COYB!

You're deaf if you didn't hear it but I agree with the rest of your post. A win is a win. |

There was a bit of booing around me in F block but it was met with confusion by most. We were poor in the first half but nothing that deserved booing.
There were a few away fans in there as well, not sure if the two are connected.

That first half was abysmal, and rightly booed.
There was no urgency or desire.
The players were booed, as is the right of paying fans, the players came back out and put in a better performance in the second half. What's the problem?

It may be 'the right', but it doesn't mean that it's a good idea.
Having said that, I sometimes think too much is made of a few boos. You're not going to applaud the team off if you're losing at home to the bottom team in the league. Most people just stay silent or mutter to their mates, so it only takes a handful of booers to make themselves heard. Ideally we'd all either keep quiet or try to gee them up but you'll always get loudmouths.

I do think booing is justified on occasions, Kiddy away in the cup under Bignot for example. I think that day we went further than booing and threw in a "you're not fit to wear the shirt chant" at the end. Again, totally justified in the circumstances.
Yesterday wasn't one of those occasions though and it did puzzle me as to why it happened. It sounded like it was only a very small number of fans though.

When the team plays well, they are clapped off when they play badly they are booed - a natural reaction for a lot of supporters, so while booing may not be helpful, I would not criticise anyone for showing passion . They have paid their money and let’s face it, we were dross yesterday apart from a 10 minute spell. In the first half Bradford were the worst team I can remember seeing but they were a goal up at half time which tells us how poor we were. I can’t remember either keeper having a shot to save and as others have said, our midfield was very poor, not just Glendon but Stopforth was also well below his best.
All in all, a terrible game but thankful for the 3 points secured by two good goals.

I actually thought the boos around me were for the referee due to him not stopping Bradford’s time wasting. If not, I’m perplexed.

There was no booing from B or C block. There did seem to be a few people booing from the other end of the stand. Very few though. Whether they were aimed at the team or the referee, I've no idea.
I'd agree we have the right to boo, but not yesterday. Kiddie away in the Cup. Halifax away 5-0. Certainly. They were appallingly lethargic displays.
I'm sure Bern and Jonno told them straight at half time. Came out in a different gear second half.

Never heard anything from the terrace. First half was shite but no reason to boo, I was still confident we would turn it around.

Heard a few. Can't say I was surprised, we've got a minority of reactive moaners who love the sound of their own voice.
Noticed it when Griffiths was passing it out from the back too - Jonno mentioned it in his post-match interview. It's obviously the way we're trying to play so why people want to give our goalie so much stick over it is very odd.

Why is it when people are asked why they do something, they reply by saying they're "entitled" to? Yes, you are entitled to boo if you like. You're also entitled to turn up at the ground dressed as a chicken.
The question isn't what right do you have to boo. It's what prompts you do it, and what do you hope to achieve?
I'll help you if you like: "On some occasions, booing is an appropriate way to show that what you've seen isn't good enough, and to give the team a kick up the backside that will hopefully provoke a better performance from them in the second half."
If, on you other hand, you booed just because you were frustrated and wanted to let off steam, then maybe you have to reflect on it and say that you got caught up in the heat of the moment and that what you did was unhelpful.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Booing the team off at half time has come a long way from previous seasons where we used to boo them on.

I have a suggestion for the people who feel the need to boo why not go to a pantomime, you can boo until your hearts content and you can even shout behind you😂 |
