Booing doesn't ever resolve anything. I was dejected on Saturday after the final whistle blew because I know how well we can play but we basically screwed up, no sugar coating it, we did and the only saving grace is we got a point from the match and didn't lose.

 

However, if we boo the team that just beat Man Utd 5-3 and Stoke away, earnt points against Arsenal and Everton and holds Chelsea for over an hour at their place, what signal does that send out to them? By all means don't clap but don't boo.

 

As others have said, this was 100 times better than when we lost to Barnsley two years ago...

[C-man]

Yes? We can't go into the dressing room at full time and tell the players it was a bad performance; the only chance fans have of showing their feelings is at full time.

Erm, these are professional football players. I think they may have some perspective themselves as to whether they've played well individually and as a team.

What fvcks me off the most about attitudes like this is that not one single boo would've been made had that free kick have been ballooned over the bar. No one gives a fvck about performance if the team wins so don't give me that bollocks. People boo because they are childish, impetuous and can't stand the fact their team hasn't won.

Grow up.

Grow up.

I didn't do it - I left the ground as soon as the goal went in - I'm just saying I understand if people do it.

[Corky]

I think walking out silently, almost ignoring the players is a reaction more telling than pantomime booing. Which it is, let's be honest.

 

The players know the fans are annoyed, they looked it themselves and Pearson would've torn into them in the dressing room.

[Corky]

You should never boo, everyone should just simultaneously tut and shake their heads in disapproval. That would be much more hard hitting for the players.

 

Along with hands on hips, that will really show the displeasure.

[Fox Ulike]

What actually makes people boo anyway?

It can't just be the football, I've seen disappointed and devastated fans at Sunday league games and they don't boo.

Can't really be the money either? If you go to the cinema and see a crap film or feel let down at a restaurant you don't stand there booing the screen or the chef on completion.

When you think about it it's actually quite bizarre human behaviour.

 

This.

 

People who boo also look like complete losers when they're doing it... like they are sucking an enourmous invisible dick. Which is ironic when u think about it...

 

 

 

If you're gonna show your displeasure do it with a bit of style and dignity at least:

 

[chicagofox]

There is absolutely nothing ironic about what Fox Ulike just said.

[sylofox]

Used to booooo in the Pleat years.

Hope it never affected the players as it should not.

Most boooing was finished off with Pleat out chants.

 

The football was dross and the players we had were better than what they served up.

Don't really remember a game we were not behind the players just the curb crawling manager was shite.

Lots of songs about the Highfields lol

 

His summing up in the mockery for away games always made me wonder what ground he went to.

Beaten 4 5 or 6 nil or 1 we was always unlucky.

For all the Pearson haters careful what you wish for.

We all thought Pleat would be the new dawn more like lights out.

[Bamba's Babes]

Get a grip. Leicester didn't let anyone down on Saturday. We were just crap in the second half, and our goalie decided to provide Wallace an open goal to score in. There was no lack of effort at all. You clearly don't know the game if you really think the players weren't trying on Saturday.

 

Clearly, thanks for your well thought contribution to the thread.

 

 

 

 

For those who don't understand the concept of booing, I can't understand what, for which it seems is the majority, is wrong with a simple human emotion. For the eejit that's nowthinking "well you don't walk around the streets booing", well you don't walk around town cheering and doing the Poznan, either.

 

I get more annoyed with fans singing player songs for zero reason, for eg. Ulloa song when he hasn't touched the ball for 5 mins. Showing displeasure with a performance in one of few possible ways, previously explained by other posters, really isn't that bad.

[maddog]

I was saying Humeeeee.

I think people can understand it. I just think most people can't understand why, when we all love LCFC, someone would put themselves so obviously ahead of the team by engaging in such an act of self-gratification as booing.

I rarely post. But this topic bothers me. I feel the opposite. A player not playing well may respond to support and improve. It's called supporting.

I assume youve never played the game. Make a mistake and take a lot of abuse and expect fear and anxiety to worsen your performance. Poeple respond to encouragement and positivity. I just do not agree with little emperors booing because they don't get what they want from a team that have shown us more joy than any for 15 years.

Have you actually thought about what you have written here? You are genuinely saying you get annoyed at others for supporting their team and in the same breath saying it's fine to boo.

I have no more words. Blimey.

[Guest Col city fan]

I can't believe anyone is booing... With the start to the season we've had and some people want to boo?

Christ!

It doesn't help the players, and at a time when we are so thoroughly spoilt compared to the dross we've had to put up with for years, it's an embarrassment. I wonder what Pearson would think of your booing?

Interesting point.

 

Things like the Poznan are the result of spontaneous human emotion. You can’t help yourself. And OK the opposite is true for your negative emotions. You can’t help your automatic reactions then things go badly. I will often be shouting at the players (or the telly these days) when they mess up. On Saturday I think I called Matty James a “stupid useless fvcking tw*t” when he  conceded that late free kick against Burnley on Saturday.

 

But what I wouldn’t do is boo him or the team once the game is over. That’s not a spontaneous emotion. It’s just mindless, and as I alluded to before, actually makes those booing look like absolute retards without a brain cell.

[ARTY_FOX]

The poznan is hardly spontaneous.

[Fox Ulike]

The poznan is hardly spontaneous.

Eh???

So, is there an email distribution list which co-ordinates the time and place when the Poznan will be performed?

[ARTY_FOX]

Everyone knows they're gonna do the poznan when we score. Nobody is so overcome with emotion they turn around and jump. However I could see why people boo sometimes after a match in the heat of the moment

[Corky]

I was at Barnsley for the 2-0 defeat and the reaction at half-time was scathing, but that was pure anger at a pathetic performance where we couldn't pass the ball, get any moves going, defend properly or attack with any conviction. It epitomised a terrible all round display. It was also following an abysmal run of poor football and awful results. We weren't unlucky, or below par like Saturday, it was off the scale appalling.

 

C-man is right, if that free-kick had hit the ball, been cleared, we'd won the game then the performance would still have been below par, still lacking in urgency, we'd have just held on to claim an uninspiring win.

[Babylon]

Eh???

So, is there an email distribution list which co-ordinates the time and place when the Poznan will be performed?

No but there is a goal and a piece of bloody music, oh and a drum. 70% of the crowd seem to manage to celebrate a goal without a Poznan, in fact 100% of the crowd managed to before we saw Man City do it.  It's a pre planned routine not spontaneous.

 

Booing also isn't a natural human reaction, where else in your life does it ever happen. It doesn't, it's a clear choice that people make. Just as my choice was to shout "****ing hell" and kick the chair in front at the final whistle.

[Babylon]

Off the scale appalling? That's a bit dramatic isn't it for a game we were on top of for the most part (according to my eyes and the stats). Not a great performance by any stretch, but it certainly wasn't setting new levels of bad.

May, yes the players may well respond positively to a generous round of applause after a disappointing result. It's also known that players may react positively to negativity shown by those they are trying to impress.

 

Your assumption is quite immature, I would think every person on this forum and that attends matches has at some point in their life participated in a game of football.

 

 

Have you actually thought about what you have written here? You are genuinely saying you get annoyed at others for supporting their team and in the same breath saying it's fine to boo.

Did I say I get annoyed by people supporting the team? No-man.

He wouldn't like it. I go to the football to be entertained and support my team, yes, when I'm not booing I'm joining the rest of you in a chant. Shock. I also don't go the games to be socially accepted, if people don't like me booing, fine, I don't like their antics sometimes.

 

 

Interesting point.

See I didn't, it was part of the game and a debatable decision. I'd rather he attempt to clear the ball than let a shot occur. So who is supporting the team more in that instance? I guess I was, so you were the retard for not seeing the wider picture. As stated previously, my booing, which lasted for all of 2 secs, was about the second half performance being lackluster and for me unreasonable.

 

 

Anyway, I've probably defended myself enough on this thread, I'll continue to boo if I feel it's necessary or if my emotions get the better of me. It doesn't make me a bad fan/supporter. I also recognise the amazing start we have made to this season.

I was taling about the Barnsley game and comparing it to Saturday which was below par

Where. To. Start. Your post will keep me occupied for the rest of the afternoon, but I could of taken all weekend to answer it properly. How do you manage to drop so many clangers into just three sentences? Amazing.

 

Firstly. I didn’t say you were a retard for booing, I said you look like a retard whilst you’re doing it. Don’t believe me? Take a photo of yourself and put it on Tinder and see how many ‘Likes’ it gets. (From girls. Guys will be queueing up).

 

There’s no way it was a ‘debatable decision’ it was a clear foul. And if you’d rather a player commit a foul then concede a shot then we’ll have four players sent off every game. Their guy was off-balance and running sideways towards 3 other City players when James needlessly fouled him. But you thought it would be better to give Burnley a free shot at goal by their best dead-ball specialist rather than allow him to continue running sideways into Schlupp?

 

What metric did you use to work out that my swearing makes me a worse fan than your mini-boo does, “in that instance”??? I’d love to see the Opta stats on that one.

 

What’s the “wider picture” here?!! And why am I a retard for not seeing it?

 

And our performance was "unreasonable"!! Not heard that one before. "We were unreasonable today, Burnley deserved their equalizer".

 

Three words later and there’s another gem: You timed your booing?! 2 seconds? Well, for me that counts as an instinctive (if weird) spontaneous reaction. I think booing needs to last for more than 3 seconds to be a proper boo. Yours was a mini-boo. A moo? I don’t have a problem with mini-boos which last less than 2.4 seconds.

 

You’ve not really ‘defended yourself’ but rather dug many small holes for yourself. I didn’t even think anybody was attacking you – until you started ‘defending yourself”!

 

Keep ‘em coming Champ.
