Here’s a thought…
During this season, and indeed the last, there has often been criticism of fans who boo and/or abuse players.
To which a frequent response is, ‘I pay my hard earned money to attend the games so I have a right to boo and hurl abuse if I wish”. I consider this to be a valid response.
However, conversely, surely if an individual decides to applaud, during, or after a game, even if it is yet another f****** defeat, then, using the same criteria as above, ‘They pay my hard earned money to attend the games ....’ so they also have a right to express their feelings, as they see fit, in this case by applauding.
Either way, neither group of individuals have to justify their actions to the other or should be subjected to abuse or bullying from the other ‘camp’.
For the record, at the end of many recent games, I do not boo, nor do I applaud, as it is my right to do neither.
In the words, widely misattributed to the French philosopher Voltaire… "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
