First match of the season - inexplicable and inexcusable pretty low and signifies a cadre of - 'poor support' in my humble opinion
surely you recognise its disapoointing - clap politely - walk away disappointed - move on
and what looked very much like fellow stoke fans, well grown up & who should know better, fighting each other outside the club shop about 20 - 30 minutes after the game
beyond idiocy into - low life scum in fact

No ....you can't call someone low life scum because they don't share your enthusiasm. That's out of order.
We live in a free a country with free speech and if they want to boo , then they can do.

I'll be honest I'd never boo because I think thats ridiculous but I couldn't bring myself to clap after the game. The only thing on my mind was the fact that we managed one shot on target in 90 mins against Villa at home and that was our right back!

I assume he was referencing those fighting outside the club shop, a sentiment I'd agree with if that's the case! But I think while people have every right to boo it isn't helpful in any way to be honest, but if there was a performance worth booing it was that one to be honest  |

It certainly was where I was brought up. You seem to be getting confused. |

"Scum" is a bit harsh but the booing was stupid. First game of the season - players still getting used to what's required in the system and every player put the effort in. Ok, a lot of the effort was misdirected (as were some of the passes) but it wasn't as if the players looked as if they can't be @rsed. So, in my book, every reason to groan, shake your head, kick the car tyres - but no reason to boo - especially with three players making their debuts. Has booing a player on his debut EVER motivated him to do better? |

Folk dont go to football for that anyomre I reckon
an era happily obsolete
just very disappointed by the booing as surely were the players - totally counter productive
and 'handy blokes' trying to knock lumps of each other right where women and kids are about
and for the avoidance of doubt
-----------------------------------------
Booing at the first match = poor support
Stokies fighting each other in a public place = low life scum

Always going have the idiots. A small minority of brain dead drongs will always get more attention brought to them than the majority of good people in every situation in football and out of football.

Lets face it it was the most noise most made all afternoon. Christ it was like a morgue most of the game, apart from the odd half arsed groan when the ball was played backwards.

I didn't boo, and I definitely didn't clap, I don't know what was worse the performance yesterday or the Norwich home game last year.

Villa came here with a game plan and did exactly what they planned to do, all men behind the ball and break with pace if the opportunity arose, we played right into their hands too, we sat way too deep and let them crowd out our attacking players, they had no intention and were't setup to be dominant for 90 minutes, they wanted a smash and grab and they got it
The boos were wrong but i can see why fans would be frustrated and sometimes its the only way to show it

Had time to think about the game. We certainly didn't deserve to win, but in reality, neither did they. We gave them a really soft goal, as we nearly contrived to do earlier, but a draw would have been IMHO, a fair result.

Counter productive at the least - imagine your making your debut
full house and then that
my thoughts would be - what have I got myself into here ?

It mirrors the reaction on this board depending on the result only.
It was disappointing but it was the first game.We had disappointments last season and really it was just like watching the Norwich home game from last season which the management learnt from.
We cannot go from believing in MH as most do from last season to the opposite in one match,which,from some responses,appears to have happened with some people
It does not make matters any easier now we have two away games to follow,and difficult ones at that,but the whole season is difficult and we are going to have plenty of ups and downs.
I have been at pains on a couple of occasions to warn some on this board of there anxiety to get rid of some of the players we used a fair amount last season before we find out about the newcomers and give them time to settle in.
Amazing how to some Diouf has gone from the excellent replacement for Crouch who therefore can be sold,to being replaced by Crouch for the next match.
Everyone needs to slow down and let the team develop again,and keep our fingers crossed that they do so in the right direction.

Booing is borne out of frustration, its a simple as that. As for fighting well thats football fans for you, every club attracts knobheads and we have more than most.

I genuinely believe that the reason why booing has become more prevalent in modern day football is because of ticketing prices.
If clubs insist on charging ridiculous, over inflated prices and then market their product as a premium experience, then people are (rightly or wrongly) going to be pissed off when they feel that they haven't been treated to a premium performance in return.
If entrance prices were at a fair rate eg £10-15 then I reckon the majority of fans wouldn't even think of booing as they don't feel like they've just been ripped off.

People have always booed at the end of a losing match - not every time, there are numerous instances where we've lost and been heartily applauded, but generally, and particularly when playing teams we were expected to beat, a defeat has met with a negative response. This isn't a modern thing. It's exactly the same with fans leaving early. It's always happened.
I sometimes wonder how long people can have been going to matches when they express surprise at something that's always gone on.

No ....you can't call someone low life scum because they don't share your enthusiasm Our lot seemed pretty enthusiastic when it came to moaning, booing and abusing our own fucking players. Yesterday was an absolute disgrace, and I'm more ashamed of the Boothen End than I was of anything out on that pitch yesterday. |

I clapped at the end, its first game of the season, things didn't go well but it'll take time. Admittedly yesterdays perfornance knocked the stuffing out of me but at the end of the day it was the starting line up I wanted. We didn't move the ball how I thought we would but hey it's early days, took us a while last season too.
Sometimes we have to accept it's just not going be our day & things wont come off. We're getting more exciting players & they need time to gel. We've got Moses in now, Odemwingie should be challenging for a place, the exciting times are still here, just stick with them & we will be entertained.
