Booing your team

How else are we to voice our disgust at a very below par performance ?

 

Agree with you - the problem is that if there are many repeats of the * we saw on Sunday then the stadium will be empty at full time and then they'll get the silence.

 

It is wrong in my opinion.

 

I don't boo the team I'm there to support, the way I see it is the team know when they are playing * regardless of wether they can hear me boo or not. If there level of play declines so will there wages eventually so they have enough insentive already to play better. Booing/walking out early can only dishearten a team IMO.

Now, get JLS out on the pitch for game of footy and I might start booing lol :icon_mrgreen:

 

Was arguing with a guy a few rows behind at the Sion game, because he booed the managers decisions. Constructive criticism is fine but the comments I have heard round about me at the last 2 games are frankly pathetic ( more personal insults than anything else).

I don`t believe for one minute that a professinal player will not be able to recognise when they have underperformed and also I don`t believe for a minute that Neil Lennon( or any other manager) would let players off with substandard performances. Going by some opinions on here that this seems to be the view that this occurs.

For those that booed against Sion what did that achieve? No doubt a short term sense of satisfaction for the individual but nothing much else.

 

A couldn't put it any better.. Never done it. Never will...

 

How is it hunnish behaviour ? Every team the world over will boo a poor performance, it's hardly just exclusive to the huns.

That said I'm not a fan of it, have only ever done it on extreme occasions myself, i.e. After watching us meekly surrender to St. Mirren after one of the most gutless performances you'll ever see.

Booing individuals, or booing during the game at the team is not on though.

 

I would never boo the team myself and I think that if I were a player, the complete silence at the end of a match would hurt just as much as booing.

 

Sorry? Disgraced? We hit the post twice, endless shots. We just lacked cutting edge. I was disgraced when St Mirren pumped us 4-0. Get a grip.

Also, I get * off, angry, annoyed, frustrated, but i don't boo Celtic, never have. Understand the 'entitled to my opinion', but I just don't see how booing our own players, getting on their backs, like Samaras the other night, is going to help his confidence. But hey... that's 'my opinion', so I guess I'm allowed to air it.

 

If the performance is not good enough, the fans have a right to voice their opinion and within the stadium is the only chance to do that.

At the end of the day, if we didn't go to games, they wouldn't get wages, so we're entiteld to voice our opinion when we feel it isn't good enough. I personally have never done it, but can easily see why people do.

People need to get this in to perspective though. If we got beat 4-3 in a thrilling game I'm sure fans wouldn't boo, but when you see the effort and performance of Sunday..no wonder there were boos

 

I dont get fans threatening the club..."we pay wages etc"....the club know that

 

I will never boo Celtic.

 

its not the celtic way!

 

I don't boo either. It's bad support.

 

Can't stand it at all. You boo the team you hate or a referee after a bad decision, not after one defeat regardless how bad it is.
I understand people think its a great way to vent frustration at the team for not doing well but it has absolute no positive effect. It makes the players worse and ridicules our support for the following week - both monday and tuesday's papers have all been too quick to remind us our team walked off to boos that was the crowds loudest moment of the game and i don't like that. Nothing we can do about it really we just have to accept it but 'booing' is becoming far to easy for the fans whenever the feel the need and it's only recently that it's begun to show it ugly head again - something i thought we wouldn't see for a while after St. mirren and then Ross County.

 

i dont do it, but maybe it will give the players the boot up the * they need.

 

I booed on Sunday, was a knee * reaction and do regret it now in hindsight. For the record I wasn't booing the result as these things happen in football, what i was booing was the lack of effort and poor performance from our players.

 

I can honestly say that in all my years of supporting Celtic I can't ever remember booing the team or any of the players. It's just not the way I am.

If I am fed up with how the team played, or how one of the players played, I tend to save my criticism for the pub or on here.

 

I've never booed the team, and i can understand why you would want to, although calling a fan who boos as a lesser fan is certainly not right, and i don't like these constant comparisons with the huns, they boo, we boo so * what, if our fans boo then its automatic hunnish behavior? Grow up, you paid to watch your team and if you feel like booing an unsatisfactory performance you have every right in doing so.
