I booed today and last week

I don't think that players who have been trying their best would regard booing as "irrelevant nonsense". I think it improves absolutely nothing and can do a lot of harm.

 

Again with the little screams, intakes of breath and ‘oooh’s when keeper passes the ball perfectly to one of our players who was in plenty of space to receive it and pass it on (which he did). Hopefully our defenders have got used to ignoring it now but it could cause them to think there’s a man on, panic and misplace it based on the crowd’s reaction of fear.

 

I didn't but you paid your money and you were well within your rights.

 

I just leave if you can't say anything positive don't say anything at all type thing. I don't see the point of booing if there's a lack of effort as the last few home games in the championship when the towel went in yes but when we are just not good enough what's the point .

 

If you don’t eat your meat, how can you have any pudding?

 

Booing is perfectly understandable in my opinion. If the team are playing poorly over a period of time then what are fans supposed to do? Its an expression of dissatisfaction from people who pay high prices to watch a team they love not performing adequately. The fans have a right to express dissatisfaction just as much as they do expressing pleasure. If members of the team, coaching staff and board dont like it then tough titty. The club dont moan when fans are cheering. Comes with the territory. As someone said fans ain't robots. Its hard to shout 'bravo' and 'jolly good' when the team is playing crap in spite of what some people on here seem to think.

 

I’ll bring this back up when you’re complaining about players leaving in the future.

You idiots booing made the bed and you aren’t allowed to complain when it makes retention and recruitment harder or when the board decide to stop pumping in millions a year to keep the club afloat because of the abuse they get on twitter and at games.

 

I find it difficult to see a genuine link between booing and players leaving the club. Similarly, although I dont boo myself, I wouldn't class people who do boo as idiots. The real idiots and untermenschen are the ones who, as you say, subject Jaq and others to verbal abuse and hide behind a platform to do it. Now that is disgraceful. I genuinely dont think booing is in that league. Anyway, ill shut up

 

Booing will make no difference to a player signing or not.

All about the money, if we had paid out for some league 1 standard signings in the summer instead of non league then we would/should have been looking at a comfortable automatic promotion. That's on the board/recruitment team. Stop playing football manager and start acting professionally.

Signings like Pines and Earl should have been done in the summer after our entire defence was sold, total failure.

 

When it's all over, the owners leave, the decent players move on and the club drops down the leagues to non league, I will happily boo the nob heads on here, twitter and in the crowd who have added to the lack of fan support that all teams need to be successful.

 

Nail on the head. Players are motivated by cash, so a few boos won't bother them. No player would take a paycut to leave after being booed. No player booed would decide to not to stay where they are if offered a payrise.

 

Totally disagree who wants to work in a toxic workplace when they don't have to and all these players would get other clubs on atleast similar money.

 

The problem is there's a vocal minority who boo when the players have done their best. Saturday being a prime example. They don’t miss chances on purpose. If we'd fluked a last minute winner they would have been cheering exactly the same performance. Also I can guarantee they'll boo if we're losing at half time whatever we've played like. Can't remember being at any other ground where the booing us so prolific when the team isn't winning.

 

Don't think anybody has suggested otherwise. But every one of our players will have a number of clubs wanting them and willing to pay a similar salary. It's not purely money.

I've left jobs to go somewhere that paid less because it was a toxic environment and I didn't need it. I've also stayed at jobs despite being offered significantly more money elsewhere because I enjoyed the job and liked the people I worked with.

 

First they have to find a club that doesn't have this form of toxic atmosphere, so good luck with that.

 

Not many clubs that would write a manager off before he's even started because "He's American" (even though he's not), gasp every time a player takes a touch, boos the players at half time when we're not losing, tells the top scorer in the league he doesn't care enough on twitter and argues with him, constantly abuse one of the owners who have done absolutely nothing wrong and pump millions into the club every year to keep it running etc.

So yeah I reckon it'd be quite easy.

 

I've never booed our team or players. Definitely had a fee rants over the years. What I will say is April 22 is the last time I set foot inside Oakwell. Prior to that I had continuous season tickets for over 25 years, including my whole adult life.
My point being, maybe booing isn't great but at least it's from a place of passion about the club. Apathy is far worse.
( I have attended about a dozen away games in that time which i have enjoyed)

 

Course it is. Every club has them.
