This is one of the worse things to do and us City fans have been getting rather good at it now. As mentioned on the Lescott thread, he has come out on twitter and said that he had been abused by our own fans. This is the second instance after Dzeko and Garcia (though some disagree) were booed by our own fans at the Etihad very clearly. These guys give a 100% for the club even if its a small game. You could see Boyata yesterday looking on anxiously at the result after he had been sent off. Yes they might lack the quality but they dont lack the effort (Dzeko at times).
However it is totally Pellegrini's decision to put them on the pitch based on what he sees in training and what every player has to offer. Lescott is not going to turn into Vincent Kompany or Garcia into Yaya or Dzeko into Aguero if we abuse/boo them. They are showing enough commitment and drive to be in the XI ahead of a few other people.


Honestly all most of us are asking to the small group is to not be so obnoxious and abuse our own players because this is getting out of hand and we are just turning into the rags. Garcia could have very well told MP not to play him at CB, imagine Ronaldo's reaction if he had been played out of position.
Also why do we need to abuse our players right now? This is the current group who have managed 10 wins and 2 draws in the previous 12 freaking games ! It is not like we are on a 5 game losing streak.

Sums it up perfectly.

Booing your own players? Call yourself a supporter? Fuck off back to doing whatever you used to do on match days.
 
It's soooo fuckin embarrassing,what have some of the fans become.Seems it's not quite enough for some, that we have become one of the best teams in the world and now challenge for EVRYTHING and we can now buy some of the best players in the world.
 
Anybody know what Lescott's going on about? I didn't see/hear any of this booing or abusing of players yesterday. In fact, given the absolute dross they served up, I think they received an ovation better than the one they deserved at the end of the game.
 
Those there have paid their own money and it's fine shouting a few fustrated words of encouragement, but what do those who boo actually gain from it? Because our team and other supporters certainly don't gain anything from it. Leave that shit for the vermin down the road.<br /><br />-- Sun Jan 05, 2014 10:23 am --<br /><br />

Someone or a small few shouting "fuck off scar face" or something along those lines.
 
There was no booing yesterday and no booing against palace. There may have been collective groans and moans but the players in question bring this on themselves.

Bring on themselves by playing for City? By playing 100+ games in a City shirt?

Blues were shouting that at one of our own? FFS, what a bunch of absolute dickheads.

There's always been scapegoats at City. And there's always one who has to start a thread that suggests every single supporter was booing.
