No not really,i prefer to stay silent when they've had a shocker,an embarassing silence would be much better than the pantomime stuff.
Anyway,everybody on here says they don't do it but somebody out there is,i've heard them.So come on,reveal yourselves.

But I think there must be a number of reasons for it which are not simply down to the team playing poorly and not getting results.
What they are Im not sure.
I think those who do maybe need to save themselves a bit of money and scratch round coming
i was still gazing in disbelief and kicking the chair in front of me in frustration, how others weren't is beyond me
It never used to be like this. It's negative and destructive and I don't understand how it's meant to motivate
and SUPPORT the team.
Floyd says above " ......I respect those that do, as long as they target the boos at specific players ....."
I don't get that, either.
If I was a Charlton player, I would dread playing at The Valley.
Its simply booing is now part of English football. Even if you are underperforming at 2nd in the prem.
My own opinion is that players and management are really quite detached from the ordinary fan. Flying to matches, earning wages in a week that some fans earn in a year, appearing aloof and superior. All that stuff. Plus society generally just has a more short term view of expecting success.
Some fans feel that they have a genuine right to vent their spleen be it booing or worse.
I give you Tottenham.
Don't think it achieves anything and we don't all have to be sheep just because the words are easy BOOOOOOOOOO.
Maybe this is nearer the point.
'Instant gratification' is a modern day cliche, as we know - and I don't suppose many of today's generation of football fan expects any different.
When you can watch TV games with the World's best talent, wherever you are whenever you like, you are going to have totally unrealistic expectations when watching a game in the Championship.
So Iwelumo isn't Ronaldo and Holland isn't Gerard - and The Valley isn't Old Trafford.
But we know all that before we go to watch Charlton, so why do some fans expect Charlton to play like Man Utd on speed
- and then relentlessly attack their own team, when they're not winning 2-0 in the first 10 minutes?
Some 'supporters' need a check-up from the neck up .........
What can we expect from the Plymouth fans? Their last 2 results havent been so clever.
Watch this space!
Yesterday's was a million miles away from that, and the boo-ers should be ashamed.
But they don't seem to exist, so guess they won't be.
Never booed at football, not even Jermaine Defoe. I think it is just so childish.
As someone else pointed out last night, some booed Lits's name being read out! How pathetic is that.
There was someone new a couple of rows behind me yesterday, just along from Golfie and co. Bloke was going mental all game at Pardew and everyone. Absolutely lost it just before Lita scored, that shut him up for 1 min. Complete w**ker.
I really do not know why some people bother going. I get frustrated but always support.
I have tried to make some rational points about why it might be occuring.
Im not personally convinced its so called new fans who will disappear next season. I think there is a broader disenchantment.
And its not particularly a Charlton thing.
Good points, and I'd add to that the cost of going to football these days. I know we're better than a lot price-wise, but back in the day if you watched a shite game of football at least it hadn't cost you an arm and a leg for the "privilege". Also, the feeling people get - possibly sub-conciously - when they see the people they have just paid to be entertained by shooting off in their Bentley's etc does kinda stick in the throat when you have to queue up for a train in the pissing rain!
The Les reed debarcle was the lowest i had ever felt in footballing terms the chance of a Semi final against the one team you would have wnted in the qtrs and i still didnt boo.
I hate going to the games now days i really hate it as i know it could end up in a scrap because the booers are Fecking me right off.
What do you think you are bringing to the table
I will tell you
The comment by Floydandharvey is the most ridiculous blood boiling comment i have read on here you should be ashamed of yourself.
Why the feck should the players perform for us with people who think it is only fine to offer support when we are winning,
Supporters stick together they support their team through thick and thin they do not follow this Tottenham Hotspurs bollox of spouting we want our Charlton back Boo Boo Boo Boo
I think that anyone who boos is a disgrace just dont do it near me cos i wont put up with it.
I want our Charlton back but the one i want back is the 6-8000 that went cos it felt good, Went because we wanted to win but also when we did win we knew that we had done it together
Fans-Players-mgr-Board the whole fecking lot of us
when we lost we lost together
not none of the muggy bstds who are allegdly showing their support.
You lot piss me right off
To liken it to wrestling is ridiculous if you are telling me that people are booing to create heros and villians you are mad and need help
wrestling FFS
rant over
A big "booooooooooooooooooooooooooo" to that comment!
Never did like that stupid cat and dog.
Take yourself to a circus because that's where you belong.
Seriously though, maybe some of the people that boo can tell us where they work. I'm sure they'll think it's perfectly reasonable for some of us to come along and boo them in their work.
