To anyone who booed at half time yesterday...

[mcfcphil]

I may be out on a limb here, but I disagree. The players and coaching staff would have heard the booing and realised that something had to be done urgently, hence the half time substitution. Without the booing, RM might well have waited until the 70th minute (as usual) by which time we could have been losing. As for the players being tired in the first half (after the Euros), how come most of the so-called tiredness disappeared in the second half? It was all about the players' minds and the booing was the catalyst to wake them all up.

There's no way for either of us to prove this one way or the other but in my opinion to think for even a second that mancini ever makes a decision based on fans criticism is way, way off the mark.

Mancini's made plenty of early substitutions when things havent been working. Ask Adam Johnson.

Yeah but he didn't do it because some fans started booing

You are there to support the team. Everything else is irrelevant.

The mentality of booing is "I've paid my money so I'm entitled to sit back and watch us steamroller the opposition". That isn't what SUPPORTING a football team is about.

The mentality of booing is NOT 'I've paid me money!' Booing is an audible expression of a person's dissatisfaction with something. Perhaps fans could keep quiet at HT after a dismal 45 mins and adopt the 'totally indifferent' approach to supporting.

Booing is for ponces.

If you're that pissed off with the game invade the pitch and get the game abandoned.

Poofs.

Poofs.

Or failing that, at least throw your prawn sandwiches on the pitch.

I heard a bit of booing and i'm in 127 by the tunnel. Well out of Order. These people need a reallity check.

The main point of me posting this wasn't saying that you aren't entitled to boo the team, it was basically to say if you were a city fan in the late 90's then you would understand what a 'bad performance' is.

Some people have a short memory. We are unbeaten in the league, Mancini has proved in the 2 years he has been in charge that he is the man for the job. We are bound to have a few dodgy performances in a season, and we are going through our bad spell right now.... Without losing! So imagine what we would be like if we played well! I can understand frustration, but surely the team coming off the pitch to all those fans singing 'C'mon City! C'mon City!' is gonna get the more motivated than a load of snobs in the crowd who think its our divine right to win every game 5-0!

We were like Arsenal or Chelsea fans!

I went to see Skyfall on Sunday and got chucked out of the AMC cinema because booing James Bond because he hadn't killed 1 gozillion villains and saved the world after 25 minutes of the film is apparently frowned upon.
Fascists

Being beat at maine road during our lowest time. Playing poorly against Walsall, Brentford and the like. We were shit. I still went to "support" the blues and wear my shirt with pride. Still, me and our kid never booed, we sang and enjoyed matchday regardless of the result. That in my eyes is what being a supporter is all about, trying to get your team back in the game singing "come on city" when things aren't going well.
