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 the team or stay at home because you’re the problem you negative bastards How about a repetitive chant of Neil out Would you find that acceptable As it’s not directed at the alleged players I use the term alleged as some of the so called players are currently raping a living as professional footballers

A chant directed at AN would be MUCH better! Wilmot has played much better before. McNally was the shit at Cov last season. They're not suddenly shit, won't ever improve and should fuck off down the vale! Lay the responibility where it's at: the management.

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... There isn't a team in the country who would've responded any differently to that performance on Sunday. Not a single one. Maybe not, but it's still not helpful. Maybe a chant like wagsastokie suggests would be better

Each to their own, but the act of booing and its vocalisation, is a touch inane in my opinion. It's fine at a panto, but doesn't work for me at a football match.

Cos we've been dross for coming on 7 years now. I ain't clapping shit, as it tends to end up everywhere 😆 not a fucking chance of that happening.

Since relegation I've personally pumped over £6k into SCFC in season tickets alone, never mind the beer, pies, hotdogs and all that shite.
Year after year we've been promised one thing and given another. I think we all agree that the last 5 seasons have been an absolute shit show of epic proportions?
We've been clamouring for a complete overhaul and we've had one. We've now had a manager actually state that he wants to play front-footed, attacking football in a 443 and he's going to recruit to do exactly that. We now have the tools to play in the way that has been sold to us as consumers. We've been sold a vision. We've been sold hope.
And yet, we still end up with the same utter fucking dogshit served up - fucking wingbacks that patently don't work and decent players played out of position.
If SCFC was a car I'd have returned it. If it was a meal I'd have sent it back. If it was a jacket I'd have got a refund.
Why, as a consumer, am I expected to sit nodding along politely and accept the reality provided vs the promise sold? I've previously never bought into the booing as a productive option, but after 6 years of utter garbage and lies, to find out that another year's investment is also looking like being about as enjoyable as a root canal done with a Tizer anaesthetic, due to fucking stupid, pig-headed decision making, what options are left to me?
I'm done with gratefully accepting whatever shit SCFC decide to fling in my direction - I no longer see an alternative. They need to know it's not good enough, and politely responding to the match-day survey saying 'nice pie but utter gash management and execution on the pitch' isn't going to cut it.

Maybe a few choruses of "What a load of rubbish" would have more effect? It would certainly be accurate.

Just for context, if you’re fortunate enough to make it to life expectancy then the amount of time stoke have been consistently wank and under par in the current era is roughly 10% (ten) of your adult life.

We scored with 20 minutes to go. If we'd have got a second, it could have been a grand finale, with a point salvaged. OK, not the 3 that most were expecting and many had hoped for, ... but the game was alive again at 3-1. Hull were a tidy outfit, who I'd tip to be top 6 come the end of the season. Would have been nice to have a crowd in to support the team from that point. Instead Hull's job was already done. Just saying!
Edit: I get the frustration! I have to say though, that a major problem lies in people expecting and demanding that promises turn into reality. The world just isn't like that.

People are invested in the club, both financially and emotionally, and if what is being served up causes a mass exodus and booing, then that says far more about the product than the consumer.

Again, Im another who doesn't boo the team as it just adds to more negativity. I've got to say after watching that on Sunday I was praying that all four sides of the ground let them know at full time that it was absolute, unprofessional crap Still couldn't bring myself to do it tho

Fact remains at 3-1, a second goal and some encouragement could have given us a point, taken 2 off Hull and given us a boost going into the next game.

You've got to be joking right? Hull were no more than competent, same for Preston yet we hardly laid a glove on either of them. The least of our problems is the fans.

Have never booed at a game, possibly a decision, not the team but doesn't mean people can't vent frustration when deserved. I think at 0-3 on Sunday was justified but more the shambles than the individual players for me I think the only player of ours was Howard Gayle that I booed when he could be arsed chasing a ball that he clearly could have got to and he gave the crowd a F U look. I was about 13 to be fair and he moved slower than Vanessa Feltz at a Ryvita free sample give away

Perhaps the biggest load of shit I've read on here for quite some time. Booing probably doesn't help but at the end of the day when our fans have been served this shit for god knows how long what do you expect? There are alot of things wrong with the club at the minute but the fans are not one of them. Absolute bollocks.

For me, booing is simply the fans sending a signal to the players that what they’ve paid to witness is simply not good enough. You’ve given up today and so have we so we’re going to let you know about it. As for helping the team, of course it doesn’t but that’s not why it’s happening, it’s happening because the players need to know it’s shite.

People can slag booing off all they want but the truth is Stoke fans are tolerant from my experience and as long as they know the team has grafted 100% and come up short very few will boo. I think the booing now is more from the frustration of the set ups and formations after a supposedly good transfer window. AN has these next 4 games to prove he's still a viable option. If we lose them his record will be played 11 league games with 8 losses. If he had any integrity he'd walk if that happens. In my opinion anyway.

They could’ve had a 500-strong ra-ra band of naked cheerleaders and not scored another two. If you turn in that kind of calamity no crowd anywhere is going to be inspired to get behind you.

I think the bigger controversy was the mass walk out on 74 minutes. I’ve never left a ground that early before and the fact you had to queue to leave with 20+ minutes to go was damning.
I can’t believe the disconnect between the fans and club at the moment- and it’s nothing to do with the DNA of the support, as the Pulis years’ showed it could be legendary.
