Another possibility is to cheer the announcement of the players, and greet Parkinson's name with complete silence. No reaction is a reaction. So while you are not booing, you are also not cheering a decision that you disagree with. And then hopefully Parky and company give us all something that we cheer about.
[cite]Posted By: Goonerhater[/cite]Pig sick of hearing the fans slagged off .What about Barnsley and the effort people on this board made to get the fans behind the team ? 20 mins later 3 nil down.
And what about Derby, where we had stonking support throughout the game, and would have won had it not been for a bit of bad luck / lapse in concentration in the 95th minute? I'm not slagging the fans off, I'm just saying that there's not a lot we can do about the situation that we are in at the moment, apart from get behind the team. The extra 1 or 2% of confidence or effort from the players in response to our support could make enough of a difference to turn a defeat into a draw, or a draw into a win. It can't hurt to at least try.
In the crudest possible terms, for now we bend over and take it like a man.
The die has been cast, there is nothing we can do about it in the short-term now. The next month will decide our season, and continued infighting and protests will lower our chance of it being successful.
The board knew what the bulk of the fans wanted, and whether right or wrong, they have gone against it.
We are supporters, and now is our time to support the team. And if goes as bad as some fear, then we let them know in no uncertain terms what we think when its all been decided.
We support the team GH, and pray they get the win against Norwich to give us and themselves a lift.
And if that doesn't happen, we go through the same circus of pulling our hair out on here during the week, then supporting the team again in the next game.
Either the team will pull it around, and others will jump on board, or we will carry on sinking. And if that happens and we are finally sunk, THEN is the time when we can as strongly as possible let those who have made the decisions know just how much they have let us down.
On saturday, I'll start with cheering the team names, then I'll sing the Red Red Robin, and with a bit of luck I'll sing Philip Parkinson's Red and white Army! On the other hand you could join this Facebook group Facebook I didn't

I couldn't agree more!
To be honest if I thought that our support was worth only 1 or 2% extra, then I would not bother ...........

I am also uncomfortable with the way in which Parkinson came into the job, eight games of uncertainty could have been avoided if the board had given it straight to him - which we all knew was their preferred option - rather than fanny about with all this Strategic Review nonsense.
However, for what its worth, I really like Parkinson as an individual - he seems to call it much straighter than the Bullshitmeister who had the job before him - and seems to be a very decent bloke who knows the game well and is desperate to do well for us.
You can't blame him for getting the job and he is probably an ideal fit for us at the moment given his record at Colchester and Hull of picking up bargain basement players and getting them to perform way above their previous levels.
Yes, his record to date has been less than stellar BUT it is increasingly clear that Pardew left him an absolute shambles to work with - the 5-1 home loss to the Blades being the prima facie evidence of that - and Parkinson is having to re-build a squad mid-season to try and get us out of this mess.
We need to get behind Parky AND the team or the consequences will be frightening.
The thing is, we've had some great times that have come to an end. The truth is, bad times come to an end as well. There's nothing we can do about it till it happens, just keep being a supporter.
Start a friggin protest???? Thats really gonna get us results. He's our manager now like it or lump it. A decent crowd chanting his name would make more sense wouln't it or am I just dumb??????????????? A protest?????

I've got an idea. The team stage a protest against our lack of faith by playing out of their skins, keeping a clean sheet and scoring at least three goals.
It wasn't Parky I was angry with. I like him a lot, he somehow seems more Charlton than Pards or Dowie and despite that inner dread, I would dearly love him to succeed I think what sticks in the throat is the manner in which the board has handled the situation. Just been a bad few days after a bad couple of years, but for anyone wanting to be cheered up, there's a cracking Tewkes Almanac on 606.
