Boo Boys

[Blackfordhibby]

Hasn't taken us too long to get back down too it. it didn't accomplish too much last season, and doubtless won't help too much this season. But ah well hope it made the perpetrators feel a wee bit better.

Soon as someone mentions abuse towards the players, we get remarks like this that add nothing to the debate and ignore the original point being made. Toys out of the pram stuff.

What did you add to the debate with your post.

Anyone reading this thread that had not been to the game would imagine that the team ran out to a torrent of abuse and that every misplaced pass was met with an outbreak of booing.
This utter nonsense is deflecting attention away from the serious situation the club is in , a situation not created by the dwindling band of supporters who loyally turn up each week.

From shortly into the second half the booing was well underway. And it wasn't isolated. Why do you say it's utter nonsense? This negative pish continues to rain down from the stands. I thought it would take a while for the boos to ring out this season. One and a half home games in and it's back. It's grinding stuff.

Fans out. Butcher in.

Fans are doing their bit. There will be less than 9000 at the next home game.

We have a team made up of the majority of losers from last season who are spineless and talentless so is it any wonder the support boo.

Today they were pedestrian in everything they did and were far too negative for my liking. We have no threat up front, can't cross, can't defend and have no creation. Other than Kennedy you can bin the lot for me!

I've paid well over the odds for a season ticket to watch the same sh!!!te as last season with little to no investment from the club. We are already 6 points adrift from our rivals after only 3 games so damn right I'm gonna boo!

The lack of ambition from the board has been evident for over a decade and it's come back to bite them on the arse big style!

Well here's hoping it's the ones who boo the team and hurl abuse at the players who stay away!

Yes we pay to watch our team play and no one likes to see them lose but I would love for someone to show me the statistics where booing and verbally abusing someone brings positive results?

Moving my seat this season because of one such person - boos and hurls abuse from kick off!!!

Butcher (@ ICT), McCall and someone I forget () have all been quoted in the press that the "boo boys" at ER gave their teams an an edge and put some of the Hibs players under extra pressure... They LOVE it when we start booing.... Ah well.....

Can you show me quote's where they have said this.

[Thecat23]

Sorry but what a ***** thread. Can't say I'm a "boo boy" but Hibs were backed when losing 1-0 until the players started to bottle it and play back passes just like last year.

If they don't create chances they will be booed the poor wee souls!!!

[Bostonhibby]

We really do need to learn how to appreciate a home defeat as we slide down the leagues.

[The Green Goblin]

Yup. Fans out. All their fault.

[Argylehibby]

[QUOTE=The Green Goblin;4138023]Yup. Fans out. All their fault.[/QUOTE]

This is the standard response to any suggestion that the fans are less than perfect. I don't think I have ever read a post on here saying it's the all the fans fault yet as soon as someone suggests we could have done more this gets chucked in. No single person or body of people are to blame for where we are now, Butcher, Petrie, other board members, players and guys in the stands all have contributed to differing degrees. To say folk in the stand have no bearing on what goes on on the pitch is naive in the extreme. The negativity in some quarters is getting beyond a joke.

Eg high punt from them today, Nelson controls it as it comes over his shoulder and passes to another hibs player, i shout well done and guy in front he turns round shaking his head. Now getting to the stage your getting criticised for cheering / encouraging your own players at home.

For some of our players it doesn't matter what they do they are never going to win fans over.

The only boos that pi&s me off was when in the 2nd half we played the ball back to oxley to keep possession there was aloud boos. We r trying to play football no hoffball thought it was abit harsh.

I said this last week. As a support we need to learn to tolerate the slow build up as opposed to the early long ball. As long as it's leading to something of course.

[Steve20]

Yeah, blame the fans. Not the useless impostors getting paid to do a job. If I was that bad at my job, I'd be fired.

[c31]

After watching that I'm surprised that anyone can defend any player, they were all shocking, remember it a 1st division team that beat us and every player out there deserved to be boo'd & loudly boo'd, every one was culpable.

Sorry but your post is nonsense You are trying to tell us that Allan- Kennedy- Cummings -and the 2 full backs were shocking I know its all about opinions but NO they were all decent If you want to fire flak anywhere try our captain I have stood up for him in the past but not anymore im afraid

[truehibernian]

Every right to - Falkirk played midweek, won without having to defend much.

We have now lost to all our main rivals, a derby, had players sent off, we are looking toothless up front/final third - meanwhile Hearts and Rangers are scoring at will.

Fans are sick, team has not changed much, results are getting worse, no signings of real quality, no real investment from STF into footballers, we are 3rd bottom in the second tier of football.

Not bed wetting, just stating the facts as they are. Hence the boos from the stands. Boos which were probably directed at certain individuals, as some players clearly have a real will to win football games - it's the ones that don't that need shipped.

[hibsbollah]

I was shocked at ft to hear the boos. Poor result, poor second half but it wasnt deserving of that.

Probably it`s not just about this one game though, is it? It`s about things continuing on from last season and arguably getting worse, with few or no signs that the club is hell-bent on giving us the squad we need to compete; another home defeat, most of the players that got us relegated still wearing the shirts and the spectre at the feast of Petrie still sitting watching it all from the corporate seats.

I have to disagree I did not hear any boos until the end of the game

how do we tell the board team we are not happy with the performances if we don't give a wee boo or shout

its not the fans fault we are in this position please remember this

This argument(if you say booing is a bad idea, you are somehow saying poor perfomances are the fans fault) is crap, to be honest.

Maybe its because I was in a new seat in the east today, but I thought the atmosphere verged between flat and poisonous. Iheard screaming abuse at Craig and Harris (you f****ing *****bag harris, and Craig you are f ing *****) which was audible to both of them low down in the east on about 65 mins. On 70 mins we were attacking up the right, won a corner, noone on their feet, no buzz, no encouragement. At least three incidents of fans swearing at each other at the end.

Shocked? Really? It was never going to take much for a lot of the fans to act like that after last year and I don't blame the ones that did boo.

Maybe a nice applause to appreciate their effort would have been better for the wee lambs
