Re: Boo Boys.

No James, I'm guessing they genuinely expect to see highly talented, professional footballers, at least put it in a half decent 6.5-7.0/10 performance

And to not play like they couldn't give a fudge about their club, their reputation or their pride

Any Spurs player that puts in a 5/10 performance (or below) should hang their head in fudging shame

Everybody can have a bad day at the office. But when you play like a complete c*nt for 180 minutes of football, you can expect a boo

The "supporters" at the stadium don't expect us to win every game. They do expect the players to fudging try.

Crab (sideways) football is not acceptable at White Hart Lane

Make a fudging effort. Bust your gut. Beat a man. Show some fudging movement. Then you won't get booed.

P.S. I didn't boo.

Re: Boo Boys.

I was really, really disappointed with yesterdays performance.

I felt like I'd watched the same game twice in succession, and it seemed there was just no idea what was going on.

I didn't boo, but me and my lad walked out moments before the end (we were still in the concourse as the whistle went) and as i walked out, I flicked a v-sign in the general direction of the pitch.
I, along with many others, aired my thoughts as we walked from the ground. Lots of bad language.


However, now, after 24 hours to reflect, I actually want the team, and AVB in particular, to really prove me wrong, and I will give my all in support of the team.
I so want the doubters to eat their words.

But, at the end of that game, I felt total frustration along with I guess another 30,000 odd fans, and THAT alone was enough to tip some over the edge.

Well its not proving you wrong is it. You never set out saying AVB is brick or have said that he is guaranteed to fail. Any negative feelings towards AVB are the result of a really poor start. Trouble is when you make a poor start, you dont have anything good to look back on (ie when harry lost a few games, we had hundreds of good games to know that he is capable of doing it and this is a blip).

What everyone who has been rightly critical of the start wants, is for AVB to show that he is a good manager. I wont feel I've been proved wrong if he does well from now on, i'll just feel that he made a poor start but is a good manager. And we all hope he does well because no one wants any failure at the club.

If a professional footballer puts in a 5/10 performance what else are they gonna do? I doubt they will be happy.

I haven't seen the match today, but seen plenty of times where the team has been dog brick. Various people round me have been moaning for the whole match, not getting behind the team and booing at the end - is that acceptable? As far as the West Brom game went - it was evident that the players were trying to get a result, but we just weren't clicking as a team; this will be ironed out over time. I wouldn't say they played like complete ****s on that day at all - they just didn't perform very well.

Booing the team - I don't agree with it. But what I don't agree with more is people trying to justify it by saying how much they've paid, how far they've travelled or whatever. You take that risk in the first place, as anything can happen in a football game. People were booing last week due to impatience, this week it was just a continuation of that mentality which is a real shame.

It's a stupid thing to do, but it's their right to do it. Should they be going to matches? NO

Re: Boo Boys.

The thing is, in both the games that the crowd booed WE DREW. Both were poor performances, but it's not like we got absolutely tonked. We had more possession, more shots, more shots on target and more corners in both games. I'm not trying to argue we deserved to win; just that the performances weren't as awful as people make out.

If Norwich had won yesterday, I'd doubt there'd be many complaints about the result

We're at HOME. Our keeper was MOM. We're playing NORWICH.

That's a tonking in my books

Neither should the ****s who always turn up at ten past three, go down for a pint at twenty to four, come back at ten past and leave at quarter to five. They're bigger ****s than someone who occasionally boos out of frustration but being as that description probably fits half the people getting on their high horse about a few boos a blind eye will be turned to it.

Re: Boo Boys.

Just wondering - were any on here there at home the day we got relegated at home in 1977? How did the crowd react? I know there was a few fans that went around with the banner saying 'We will return' (IIRC)

All I care about seriously is if they perform and play entertaining football... especially more pertinent if we are in this so called unnecessary 'transitional' season.

Yesterday was hideous to say the least and a throw back to the George Graham days but even then we had Ginola to provide some excitement.

Anyone booing should be ashamed and it is highly embarrassing however; I understand their frustration because we werent entertained and contrary to somewhat popular belief - football is supposed to be entertaining. it is not just a results game.

There are these two guys in block 38 I think (funny guys) but they turn up at around 15 minutes in to the game absolutely hammered. They go downstairs 15 mins later and you wont see them till about half way through second half.

Not sure if you are talkin about the same guys. Theyre like a duo. So funny.

Re: Boo Boys.

fudge it, it's only a bit of booing, they've got broad shoulders. I support our players when they fudge up, they're human, and so are the fans, and if they want to vent a bit of frustration by booing why not? It's no worse than players getting booked for gobbing off at the lino or ref, picking up disciplinary points and then making themselves unavailable when we need them.

I have never booed but there again I've never fudged off and left our players to play in a half empty stadium either, if booing's demoralising what's seeing seeing swathes of empty seats that were full a few minutes ago? At least the booers stayed to the end of the match and put a decent shift in!

And how about the bloke I nearly came to blows with last year, some plastic gangster who couldn't get a seat in the Park Lane calling Gallas a gooner **** before the match even started? Proper hard core Tottenham him and his mates were, Tottenham through and through apparently, not to the point of actually supporting the team though.

Agreed. NEVER left early and will ALWAYS call out tossers like you described here...

Re: Boo Boys.

I would tell them to STFU. I have no problem doing this to arseholes around me when they go on...

I do and like most cowards they generally shut up, however i go to games to watch football not to argue with dingdongheads.

I've done it loads of times to people and they never really have an answer for it. Always seem to get scared when you confront them on the issue - pansies

"Norwich, who won 2-1 at White Hart Lane last season, were helped in part by the home fans' decision to boo their team off at half-time, according to Johnson.

"It's always a bonus for the away team when the home fans don't get behind their team," Johnson added.

"We knew that if we got in their faces then we would get them under pressure and we did that. We have come here twice recently and got two good results."



Well done, lads. Well done. Carry on booing, see how much good it does.

I hope the dingdongheads can read this, however i doubt if they can even do that.

 

[Jurgen the German]

Re: Boo Boys.

Booing at half time is silly, unless you losing 5-0. I always say, get behind the team for the game, boo the RESULT if you are unhappy at the end. No problem at all with fans booing at the end, even though I don't do it.

Re: Boo Boys.

Bollox, I can leave whenever the fcuk I like. If I am watching 83 minutes of pure brick football and the other team score, I can leave when the fukc I like. I honestly dont give a brick what anyone thinks of me. I have left early and missed goals but I dont regret it. I pay good money to watch it, and im not wasting my time if almost 90 mins of the game is pure dogbrick.

Re: Boo Boys.

I didn't boo.

I was very dis-pleased, but didn't boo.

I can't remember when I last boo'd. Been going a long time, and have seen some brick, so I proably have at some stage, but not anymore.

The thing to remember here is this: For many many years, Spurs fans have been known for their impatience, for having a doom-laden outlook and for finding the worst in a situation.
It really is well known. Other teams laugh about the "typical Tottenham fans". My mates have always commented on it. Christ, we could be 4-0 up and loads would moan that it wasn't 5. It has always been this way, so for those condemning the boo-ers, try and understand, it's been born down through generations.

Still don't boo myself though.

Cant really argue with this, you pays your money and you makes your choice, I can understand why people leave early through frustration but booing is something different and I would not do it.

I agree with you, but I don't understand where this impatience comes from. Say what you like about Liverpool fans, but they are incredibly loyal and patient (except when it comes to Roy Hodgson), they have moments when they get on their teams backs and have a go at certain players, but look at how patient their were with Rafa Benitez! Misguided maybe, but you've got to applaud them for sticking by him.

What gives Spurs fans this sense of entitlement? We haven't had a sustained period of success since the 80s, and we haven't won the league in 50 years. You're right, other fans do notice it, plenty of football fans have mentioned it to me that we are impatient, although I do tell these people that not ALL Spurs fans are like this.

I agree with most of that and it is true, however i have been going years and i can never understand why dingdongheads boo their own players every time they recieve the ball, last week there were a few who booed Jenas when he came onto the field.
