Our atmosphere within the stadium last night has been pretty well documented but I've never actually come across someone that admits to booing during that match.

The nearest I ever hear is people saying "I understand why but get frustrated... BUT... I never boo myself"

Anyone that ever rings up Radio Sheffield always starts their anecdote with it adds the caveat that "Well, I never boo myself...".

So if no one ever boos themselves, where do the people who boo during the match come from? And what's their side of things?

So in the words of a sozzled TV chef: WHERE ARE YOU? WHHHHEEERRRREEEE AAARREEEE YYYOOOUU?

Balls outs, boobs out, whatever you've got out, do/have you booed during a match? One in which we're winning?

And can you explain why?

I boo - them little twats wearing black.
 
Refs & officials and cheating opposition players occasionally get a boo from me, but more often a few choice words.

My own team, never. I grumble from time to time but as soon as we do something good or score it's all forgotten.

As for those who do boo the team, whilst it's their right to do so, I honestly can't see any positives coming from it.
 
Booed referees and opposition players, but never found the need to boo a Blades player during a match.

Get more frustrated and opinionated with my fellow fans usually :)
I booed Curran and Richardson when I was a kid but that was mainly because everyone else did. Always preferred the ref and the opposition.
 
If I'm pissed off with the performance I shout my displeasure and swear a lot.

I've never 'booed' in my life though. Going 'boooooo' when you're angry doesn't cut it. It also sounds fucking retarded.
 
I've never booed, I've always thought that the best way to let a team know they are not playing well at half time would be abject silence. That said I enjoy the odd tirade at the ref/opposition
 
Some bloke came on Radio Sheff after the match and said people were booing the team off. I didn't hear any boos. Muted applause considering it was a 3-0, but no booing.

Heard some disgruntled fans during the game when we kept going backwards, understandable in many ways, we could see Fleetwood were there for the taking, but we have to be more patient at times
 
So, so far we've have a load of well balanced NON booers who are always welcome of course, but come on, booers, where are you?

Educate me. Teach me. Invite me into your inner sanctum.
 
There won't be many boos at all atm, but they are quite easy to hear as everyone else is so quiet (me included)
 



I don't think there was any booing at full time, but it's gone down in history as a fact because some chuff on praise and grumble after the match said so. They were on about it tonight as well. Who was the Chuff?

I could hear pockets of it throughout the match mate, mainly at half time but also at 3-1 for a while. It seemed to stop shortly after with a few arguments kicking off from that point on, at least near where I was sitting.

Didn't hear it at full time either.

The match was that uneventful I didn't even notice them pull a goal back.
 
I think there are very few who actually boo. I think it carries well and gives the impression of being far more widespread than it actually is.

That said, I went for a slash before the end of the first half - when the whistle blew there wasn't peep to be heard where I was stood behind the back.

UTB

Not even a trump from the closet ?
 
Never understood booing.

It's not like the players are going to hear the boos and think "Oh, they're booing me. Better start playing well" Like they wouldn't have tried that already.

All it does is lower their confidence. If the team are shit, they're shit. No point making them any shitter.

PB respect you as a poster but you appear to be building up a frenzy about booing at the match last night. Yes the atmosphere was pants but very few reported hearing booing just some nob saying it on RS rather than revelling in the result and people jumping on the bandwagon.
This obsession with witch hunting fans needs to be stopped. This is our 5th season in this piss poor league and one thing for sure it won't be Barca type footy that gets us out of the league but winning by whatever means necessary. That means bunkering in and at times (when we don't perform and don't win) the crowd will let the players know much the same way they let them know when they have done well with cheers and applause.
The best thing to do with the booers is ignore them not keep giving them column space. As for outing them I recall I may have parted with a quick boo at the final whistle of the Fleetwood game last year but with a rounded cheers applause yesterday.
 



I was too busy piss blasting some chewing gum from the back of the urinal to notice sitters. :D

UTB
Boooooooo you wasted a good piece of gum piss blasting it? You could have dried it on a tissue from the bog floor and up cycled it with a rehidration chew in the second half. :p;)
