On what planet ever in the history of time does booing your own football team make us play better? We’ve been generally awful for a few years, you lot pay your hard earned money to watch that crap, they’re all on a fortune, it’s our right to booo blah blah blah, Our fans are easily the most negative toxic fans in the country. It’s embarrassing and other teams must piss themselves coming to play at our ground. “Come on lads, we get one here and this place will turn”. Really feel sorry for all the new lads that have just come in getting sold a tale of great fans and they then get royally booed constantly a few games in. Ever think that getting behind the team might actually make us play better and might make the opposition play worse? Just a thought. If you’re booing. Either get behind tree team or stay at home because you’re the problem you negative bastards Couldn't agree more. Burying your head in the ground and happy clapping is the solution to all problems in football.

Its all about passion and emotion. Take away that and you end up sterile, stale and lifeless. Bit like how our city looks to visitors I suppose.

Here we go again, how many times must we go through this shit of what awful fans we are and how we are complicit in the demise of our club.
We are no different from any other fans, in fact I think we are remarkably placid and patient and have shown great restraint in the light of 7 years of absolute and utter mismanagement from the top down of this club, playing turgid, losing football under a succession of mediocre, at best, managers foisted on us by an inept ownership.
As fans we have very little sway or influence in so many aspects of the modern game, showing our displeasure at a 7 year shitshow is a legitimate, emotional and necessary response and one of the few ways we can let the ownership know.
What are we supposed to do, lie back whilst they tickle our tummies and ponder what is all the fuss is about.

They got plenty of encouragement from kick off then they resorted to the abject lazy disorganised shower of shit that they’ve been under Neal in his 40 odd games in charge. Having paid my money, I’ll cheer, encourage and boo when I want to thanks.

Some fans of this club are brilliant. It’s been absolutely horrendous for 7 years. People spending a huge percentage of their wage to follow them home and away just to be rewarded with loss after loss and a miserable weekend and we are still expected to happy clap and cheer as goals 2 and 3 go in for the opposition. The atmosphere was there for the Rotherham and Watford games, the fans turned up and backed them and got behind new optimism, but what have we been rewarded with since? Loss after loss yet again and another manager that looks like he’s been plucked out of the staff of life at 2.50pm after 10 pints and asked to go and manage the team. I’m sorry but in football that doesn’t get cheers and sing song, it gets slated and boo’s in any other area other than failure on trent - Like I said the other day - Ajax fans have smashed their own stadium up due to losing FOUR games on the bounce….. and so the club acted, started firing who they thought was the problem. He didn’t have time to gel or 12 months to settle in, he is gone. This all goes back to the argument of when Stoke fans clapped that gutless team off when they served up relegation from the premier league. An event that any fan with an ounce of footballing brain knew should never have happened in a million years. But it did and stoke fans showed once again that they love to revel in failure and down right rubbish.

I don't generally do booing unless it's terrible.
I didn't join in the booing at the weekend. But it was thoroughly deserved and justified from the fans. Being so easy to beat is completely unacceptable.
Another performance like that next home game and I'll be booing unfortunately. I don't get enjoyment from it, but the people who take my money need to hear that I'm not happy. So does Neil.
There aren't many managers left we haven't already employed and sacked already. No idea where to go for the next one. The simple answer is to say look abroad, but we're still waiting to see the results of our foreign experiment from the summer.

I don't boo generally (that said I did boo Sam Clucas a few years ago in another one of his limp performances!) but I'd prefer to hear booing than people sitting there not bothered.
The booing around me seemed to largely be directed at AN and our captain, and rightly so for their woeful management and performance.
We've been dire for eight or so years, what are we meant to do? Burst into a round of applause for going 3-0 down at home against bloody Hull?!

boo them, its awful football to go and watch week in week out. Even worse the fact 95% the fan base read the team sheet at 11am and all thought the exact same thing.

i remember at one point Aaron Connolly was was winning headers in our penalty box v 6 foot 3 stoke city centre half's .
there is nothing positive you can say about that .
If the players don't match the opposition for desire , then they get booed . Seems fair to me .
We all know the likes of wilmott and mcnally are physically capable of outjumping connolly to the ball, they just can't be arsed .

That performance deserved booing. I pay my money and I’m free to express my opinion. To see Laurent jogging back instead of breaking a sweat, to see the defence practicing for a circus performance etc, I’m not accepting that shit and they need to me made aware.

Agree with a previous post pointing the blame for the booing at our captain and our manager .
Come match day they both have to get the lads to show more desire than the other lot . To want it more than the other lot .
Neither of them are capable of doing this , so basically they are stealing a living

Maybe people are right fed up with his rubbish , on the pitch and off it

Ooooh I’ve just read the whole thing. Anyone being negative is not the fucking problem. What a fucking stupid thing to say. 7 years of utter utter shit and people are expected to just sit there and happy clap along, get in the sea. The point is that it is the players, most of whom are new to the club, who suffer the brunt of the boos which doesn't help them to settle or to become endeared to the club and fans. Next we'll be hearing moans that the players don't care about the club. I wouldn't exactly be keen on a new job if after a couple of weeks I was getting pelters for my performance.

They're new to the club but they're not new to football in the majority of cases Notts, it's unlikely to be the first time they've experienced something like that, and given how intense some of the ultra experiences can be in countries like Portugal and the Netherlands, I'd venture they may well have experienced significantly worse experiences than a smattering of boos.

For too long new players have come here and treated it like some sort of holiday/final pay day. If booing them/giving them a hard time for shit performances helps get the message over that the fanbase won't tolerate it anymore then its surely a positive. They're grown adults. If I performed like our squads have over the last 5-6 years then I'd be homeless,jobless, maybe even worse. I'd love to get paid fully but only face a few boos when I can't be bothered to put a shift in.

I have never agreed with or understood booing. All it does is spread negativity. The players and manager know it’s not good enough and needs sorting - they don’t need us reminding them. Imagine how you would perform at work in such a toxic atmosphere. I’m not a ‘happy clapper’, I’m a ‘supporter’. Look it up if there’s any confusion. people are entitled to boo, leave early whatever if the football week after week is piss poor. Campbell and Gayle don’t miss open goals because of a toxic atmosphere it’s because they are crap. Defenders don’t defend because they are crap. I’d be quite happy to be booed at work if I was picking up thousands a week. I dont know of any fans of any club that don’t vent their feelings good or bad

Don't boo personally and agree during the match it is counterproductive. But lets be honest we've been shit for years and letting them know at the end of the game is a perfectly reasonable reaction, happy clapping can be just as counterproductive sometimes. So choices are silence, booing or cheering. Do you really expect a crowd to do 1 or 3 after witnessing a capitulation like we did on Sunday? Message needs to go to the manager that it's unacceptable and to sort it out. What do you think he did at half time? Encouraged them or went fucking ballistic?

I don't boo, not that I'm against the principle of it though. The reason I refrain is that I find, as a grown man, making a sound like a cartoon ghost faintly ridiculous.
What I do is simply get up and go home and then seriously consider whether I'll bother my arse in attending again until it looks like the team (and club) can demonstrate that it has some sort of direction and overall plan.
PRO TIP: If enough people do this then it might make the deluded, arrogant billionaire dickheads that 'run' the club sit up and take notice.

I don't like booing at all and never do it myself. In some circumstances at the end of a terrible season where it looks like a lack of effort i can understand it.
But a few weeks in to a new season, with a squad full of new players, many of them young and in a new country, I don't see the point of it at all. Its not through lack of effort that we are currently under performing.
I would rather support players and try and get behind the team. In times when we are struggling and the chips are down, a bit of support rather than booing would be more beneficial i'm sure.
Booing just adds to the negative atmosphere and creates nervousness in players which can result in them making poor decisions on the pitch.
I am just a loyal type of person who would rather give encouragement than negativity. But we are all different, each to their own.

I don't think booing during the game helps but it is totally understandable post game after another abject home defeat. I'm not a booer personally I'd rather glare at them in disgust, but I totally get why people do it. Support during the game yes but no I don't think they should be "happyclapped" off the pitch after Sundays performance.

I think the support of the fans during the last 8 years of turgid football has been very good. 18 to 20 thousand crowds for most home games and still taking large away followings shows the support is still there it’s the tossers on the pitch who r to blame. If the fans want to boo then they have every right to do so

While I'm not opposed to a good booing after a few particularly awful performances in a row , it's not really helpful during the game, is it?
Sure, it gets the message across that we're dissatisfied, but boos never helped anyone perform better. And the younger players may get even more nervous than they already are. Would you still boo if Junho was on the pitch? Sidibe? How are they supposed to know who you are directing the boos at? Go make a tifo instead, that would be better.
I'm not saying you're not allowed, or that you mid-game booers are the problem (you aren't), but when my local team goes two or three behind we start singing of a time in the cup where we went three down and came back to win, just to try to lift the players' spirits.
Of course this won't work when we always go three down, but you get the point...

Not a single one.
