Boo Him

Good morning.

Thought I’d take a few minutes out of the sweatshop business to talk about football. Being the keen eyed oaf that I am, I’m noticing an increasing swing from contempt to outright anger to wards Mr Wantaway, aka Modders.

My view has always been that online you can tear players apart and throw their metaphorically still quivering limbs and innards to starving dogs with teeth like knives. It’s online. Nobody gets hurt.

But when it comes to going to the game, you support. I believe that word is defined in places like Websters and such.I’m not proposing a Happy Clapper Club.  It’s just that scientists have proved that booing people doesn’t improve their performance. Screaming ‘Bentley you useless cad!’ at a guy preparing to take a corner does not inspire him to make the cross of his career.

So just for my own curiosity and perhaps for your own tell us how you feel – or more to the point – how you intend to express those feelings. There’s a poll below. When it comes to players STILL in the Lilywhite who you have issues with, do you boo?

Obviously bar stewards who walk out are quitters and benders of the lowest order. We boo, throw pieces of medium sized furniture, such as lamps, teasmaids etc at ’em. We make pithy remarks about their hairstyles and their shoes in a loud showy manner.

    Anyone who slags a player off on-line or at the game isn’t a proper supporter. :shifty:

    I’m not one for Booing, but if the alternative is the Bananarama tune that goes “Nananana nananana heyayay Luka Modric” then we probably need a new alternative.

    • melcyid says:

      being a bit older I used to do it to the original Steam version in the 60s.the nanana bit with TOTTENHAM HOSTPUR. at the end.

    I would suggest we all buy rats and release them on to the pitch when he has the ball, but then I realise their are zillions of them around WHL anyway so it wouldn’t have much impact. Unless of course, we all brought 150 of the blighters each and hurled them. We could paint little messages on teh side of each of them or make them fancy outfits – a clown one, or a poker player one. Could be effective.

      There used to be a bloke who would smuggle a cockerel to the game every week and throw it onto the pitch just before kick off. I never worked out how he used to get it through the turnstile to be honest but fair play.

      150 rats might be a bit of a tough one to get past the body search, how about ferrets smuggled up the trouser leg?

    We do what my Mrs does when I act up….silent treatment. When reading out the teams….Gomes – Waheey! Corluka – Waheey! Dawson – Waheeey! Gallas – Waheey! BAE – Waheey! Lennon – Waheey! Thudd – Waheey! Bale – Waheey! Modders – *silence*

      Reverse psyk spycholo tactics. Like it!

    • SpurredoninDublin says:

      Yes, but what happens when Jenas’ name is called. Is it acceptable to groan?

    • toddspur says:

      might as well boo then; ridiculous

      • chickenbadge says:

        I understand what you’re saying, silence might upset the poor blighter. How about the club issues everyone of the 36,000 with one of those party blowout hooter thingys?

        • Astromesmo says:

          Not only do you have the gravatar of the year but you might have stumbled on a winner of an idea.

          No.14… Luka Modric… ‘Tweeeeeeeeeeeeeep’.

          Maybe we could bribe the guy that plays the music to run a loop of that old Carry-On ‘wah, wah, wahhhh’ sound… The kind of one you got when somebody said something suggestive to Frankie Howerd and he did the deadpan to camera.

        • toddspur says:

          All I’m saying is anything other than a positive noise from our fans when he is mentioned/on the ball/does something good will see his performances drop and be more determined to leave.

          If a party blower does that then happy days

          If he still leaves us before Sept 1st after getting behind him then I will personally fuck him with the rough end of a pineapple

        • Astromesmo says:

          :blink: :pinch: :dizzy2:

  • My mum says:

    I suppose you’re right. I’ll boo him in my head
