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.

    instead of a cheer when his name is read out over the tannoy…… silence should fall over the Lane, in a tumbleweed kinda moment…… that’ll get the little scrot thinking….

      that will get him thinking…..he’ll think now the fans hate me, whats the point in even trying if even my best effort is booed.

      If he stays then he is a lilywhite and I am sure he’ll give his all, and should be supported.

      If he clearly isn’t not committed then it is our duty to remind him of his duty, in whatever way is best.

      I never boo though. Its almpost meaningless because the idiots will boo a 0-0 half time scoreline. If it were reserved for occasions when it is justified then it may have an impact….just like slapping the missus! It gets the meessage across if not used too often!

    I want him to stay and I don’t think booing him is going to help with that somehow.

    I do not agree with it but when I see that tarmac laying, carpet selling, will ya buy a dag SPB something just snaps in me.

    @ SID TROTTER –
    Have you actually sat down and worked out this fancy RAT plan of yours….? I think not! If 30,000 of us had to find 150 rats each, then that’s 450,000 pimped rats being hurled around at any given point in time! Frankly, I see a catastrophic flaw in your proposals….. how about using mice?

      Maybe to boost Luka’s earnings Levy can arrange his own TV show for him…Pimp My Rat….though there is a good chance it’s already on TV in Croatia.

    • Sid Trotter says:

      Ney, ney. Ye of little faith.

      Okay, okay allright already, but I have a large stock of budding rats at amazingly low proces to shift. If you’d like to be my agent and get in on piece of cheese of the action, we can work out a good deal. My only concern is that Modders may be a Hamlyn man. He would then take them to Chelscum so it would actually all work out rather well.

      • Astromesmo says:

        It’ll never work Sid, they’ve already got plenty of their own – About 50,000 of them turn up every second week from August to May each year.

  • psiber says:

    Silence when his name is mentioned would be best. As soon as he kicks the ball wearing a shirt with a chicken badge on it he should be cheered though… unless he signs for KFC.
