If we cheered and clapped they'd know we're being sarcastic cause we're woeful.

Maybe we could sarcastically celebrate like we'd won the FA cup next time we miss a penalty, and all stand there in faux shocked silence if we score? "Down with a feather, you could knock us down with a feather, down with a feather...." |

To not improve one iota over 8 months and 22 games is pretty crazy as well, considering all the hot air coming out of the place.

I did not boo and I did not clap 'em either. Folks turned up enthusiastic about a new season and new signings only to watch the same old "ground hog day" fare served up. I can understand why a lot of folk jeered the team at the final whistle.
Lord above, I hope things get better !!

I heard very little booing , for the most part folks stood up to another punch in the gut pretty well I thought.
Yes the whiff of crushed expectations hung heavy in the air but people were genuinely disappointed.

All very easily avoidable with a bit of thought. |

If we cheered and clapped they'd know we're being sarcastic cause we're woeful. We only support Stoke if we do well? Depends on your definition of support. Letting the club know that we are not satisfied is also an expression of passion, otherwise we wouldn't be arsed and stay quiet which is worse. It pretty difficult to cheer when exposed to dross, and it would sound weird. Anyway the club gets load of support from fans despite alot of the shit we have to endure. The club are very fortunate in that respect. What do we think the effect of a few people booing is? For a real professional it should stimulate the determination to do better and prove critics wrong. Sulking, or feeling sorry for oneself is not a professional response. Sport at the highest level is tough, if you can't handle it you are probably not suited and perhaps time to think of a different job. I also think the club have to take a bit of responsibility by bigging up the players with little evidence of improved performance on the pitch. |

To be fair it’s a great podcast by Elliot and Craig! Big them up!
I don’t agree with the booing after one game. However I can understand it after about 10 if we are still really shit

I worry even more (although I hate booing players) when apathy sets in as that is when we will be definitely mid table or fighting relegation? That is why the last day of the window is so important. We’ll see! |

Personally I never boo, but people that do are more than entitled to their opinion, therefore I never really get upset by them.

All very easily avoidable with a bit of thought. It made no sense whatsoever. Vokes was utterly appalling and hid all game. We should have cheered them both going off or neither of them. The inconsistency is infuriating. |

sick of these "podcasts" and social media accounts taking some high and mighty stand against fans quite rightly expressing frustration at what we are seeing, worst are the wizards of drivel, bunch of sanctimonious uni types who are never wrong and know best, agree with them or fuck off seems to be the message from them
to think that the shit put out by these "channels" has driven classic traditional publications like the oatcake and other fanzines out is galling

The "podcasts" and social media accounts were criticising the club two years ago and some movies them... They were right.
I read the oatcake but times move on. It's 2019 now. I mean if you disagree with something you're allowed to do that but then present your case as to why. If your argument is along the lines of "well.I've been going for x years" it's clearly not a good one and shouldn't be taken seriously.
ALso, I believe you are not obliged to listen or to read something...
Seems the problem is younger fans that dare have opinions of their own.

Never boo your own team. If your not happy - dont go, its really that simple I wasn't happy with the food and service at the restaurant the other day. So, rather than not going again, I started booing and will keep going back and booing. Don't vote with your feet...boo the fuck out of them. It's a much better way of dealing with things. |

I can remember going to Bury years ago when they played Stoke. The Bury team had been humiliated against non league opposition in the cup the week before.
As the Bury team emerged from the tunnel before kick off they were greeted with absolute silence from the Bury fans on the terraces. They got behind them (and still lost to us ) as the game went on but I thought the silence really showed the fans displeasure.
Not sure it would have the same impact for us with that cringe worthy ‘ mighty mighty potters ‘ belting out over the tannoy 🙄

I was brought up and taught at school - booing your own team was/ is, 'bad form'
unsporting
not really support to any team
Mind you, dropping the 'F bomb' and 'C bomb' into virtually every sentence nowadays and, even on TV - is deemed OK
Standards of behaviour sadly dropping in so many, many things
Finally, dont even get me started on litter and the mindless knuckle dragging scum sucking pond life that actually drop it !
So there you go.

to think that the shit put out by these "channels" has driven classic traditional publications like the oatcake and other fanzines out is galling I can’t speak for wizards of drivel, but I thoroughly enjoy the bear pit podcasts. It’s sad that the oatcake has ceased but the guys who ran that are middle aged and have been doing a relentless job for a long time. Was that not as much a factor in their retirement than the emergence of the newcomers? Surely it can only be a good thing that young supporters are using modern means to bring stoke supporters together? It really is little different to what young people did 30 odd years ago when the oatcake launched. |

They've absolutely added to it, and as a stoke who lives far away, with not many people to talk to about stoke, things like this website, twitter and especially WODPOD are a great thing for me. I love listening to debate about the club, and they're not being sanctimonious by saying booing after one game is poor form, they're being correct. |
