This is an appeal for some coolnesss tomorrow. Can people please not boo during the game if the players are not having a great game. I'm sure they will always do their best and not go out there to give the ball away and miss passes. There are just too many 'fans' prepared to get on the players backs just too quickly. This translates into tension in the ground which transmits to the players and sometimes you can actually feel the whole ground start to spiral into despair -and maybe a few have noticed how they get worse - not better! Its far better to (in the words of Edward de Bono) "Think positive". Cheer them on, shout and scream by all means - but see the positive side and send out encouragement. I read this board all the time - but don't post too much - boy there are some negative people on here!
So thats my appeal to support and encourage. If, however, we get to the end and they've not 'given it all' and we've lost (and then it really is all over for this season) then boo all you like...!!

I've been thinking about what can be done regarding the booing. The best solution i can possibly come up with would be just before the players come out, get someone respected like Kinsella to take the mike, go out on the pitch and remind the fans that the season is not over yet, and we need every single fan behind the team, not against them.
I think that would be a great idea. If someone could really fire the fans up and get them 'on side', and so much the better if it was someone respected like Kinsella, then that would help I'm sure. To get the team performing obviously needs desire/ability on the part of the team and a manager to guide and coach them - but the third aspect is definately the crowd. We can't do much about the first 2 - but the third...
Yeah, but instead someone like Northstandsteve after ten pints!
im good at opera,give me a red and white scarf and i'll sing like that swede
ABBA ????
If i get there im with you all the way
Spot on :-(
SO SING UP! :-)
Coincidentally, the fans who were there were behind them for the whole game and didnt shout crap or boo at every mis-placed pass etc.
The Valley is not a nice place to play at the moment.
Fair comment WSS, lets all just get pished up in the liberal, ceate a great a great atmosphere (like the palarse game)
I thought all you plastics were beiing entertained in the West Stand Pre-game :-)
LOL, best mate. COME ON THE PRAWN SARNIE BOYS!!!!!!!!
As i said in my match report - after that game when they all came over to us, gave kids their shirts, gloves and boots it felt like the connection between fans and players was there.
Don't get me wrong, the standard of football was pretty dire but everyone stuck together - even after falling behind.
Just wish that attitude could be replicated at The Valley - even when Holland, McCarthy come round the pitch applauding us when we have lost at home i hear so many comments like "F*ck off Holland, you're sh!t", and "Don't f*cking clap us you c*nt".
Yeah, really helpful.
Got a fella near me that ends every game with "fcuk off back to Ipswich Holland, you lazy c*nt" what the hell is that all about?
Turn round & Clout one of them with your Cast Rothers ! :-)
