Boo Boy's Out For Mcleish.

[Mike Jeffries]

There was booing, but not anything like as loud as I expected to be honest.

I'm feeling more grumpy with the players, many of whom have said they are happier with the training and atmosphere at the club under the present manager and then promptly turned in a performance last night, rather like the ones they put us through for most of the last managers time with us.  But then a lot of them, just aren't very good I'm afraid.

SSN showed the Final Whistle and the Boos ringing out. They might have turned the mikes up to make it sound loud, but you could not hear any cheering.

It is predictable that after a result and performance like that he is going to get abuse although I guess the boos were aimed at the players aswell.

 I heard some boos,about midway through the second half and at the final whistle. When your 1-0 down at home to an average Bolton team with 1 upfront and showing no sign of scoring it was always going to happen. The players aswell as the tactics are a joke!!!

[Compass]

The players don't deserve any cheers either. That's worse than boos imo. Why does a player like Stephen Ireland deserve any praise? Hasn't done anything and he's currently robbed Villa of a years wage. And he's one of the highest earners.

[Phil from the upper holte]

I don't like boos during the game or at half time. However when you play one up front against a shit bolton team and the tactics are for Collins to fucking hoof it down the field and out of play and then get pushed up front I bloody well will boo.

I want mcleish to make us a good side but he won't, he's not a good manager and he never will be.

[Gareth]

I'm not saying I was a boo-er but I reserve the right to boo all I like if what I am watching is inept long ball crap like last night.

 

[Chris Smith]

All I heard was the sound of silence with occasional murmurs of exasperation. No booing.

were you all there to the end because the ground exploded with boos at the end?

Truthfully, no. I left as the board for injury time was displayed.

it was deafening, myself and my lad were on our way out and it def exploded. Luckily, for me and him we have been brought up properly and would never boo our team!

"Exploded"' "deafening" - you must have had your hearing aid on the wrong setting.

We got boos but then we nearly always do if we lose a game these days, it's the modern way.

Apostrophe misplaced. Boys is the plural of boy. Boy's means belonging to the boy. It would be sad if grammar standards slipped to the level of Ireland's footballing standards.

For years fans have been booing at half time and full time after a defeat or draw against a team that should be beaten. It is the same at grounds up and down the country.

It is not necessarily a criticism on the manager or an individual player but a simple means of expressing dissatisfaction at a result and / or performance.

Yes, indeed.

[Summers]

I boo'd at fulltime.

[brian green]

Well said Pat.   Precisely.

[philthebar]

Booing is no great phenomena.  It’s been going on at the Opera for hundreds of years.  One note out of tune in a 3 hour performance and beware. The difference is that at the end of an opera each performer takes an individual bow and therefore gets individual praise/criticism.

I am not afforded the opportunity to do this at football, therefore, I reserve the right to express my feelings to the team and manager as a unit.

[Archie]

I think that the fans should unconditionally support the squad during the game, I agree with the Laughing Policeman about this, but I think that they must be free to boo after the final whistle if they are not satisfied with the way the team played in terms of committment.

[London Villan]

One shot on target in 90minutes and a home defeat,  most fans wouldn't be particularly happy with that, how else do you express your feelings?
