Id start flippin the fans the bird every time.... Mooneys reaction was for the booers, when he cupped his ear in his celebration....
Ridiculous, rubbish fans.... booing your own team....
Id have the team stand in the centre circle and start booing the fans...

the majority of the north upper were on mooneys back for most of the game. but of course if he scores they'll happily chant 'MOOOONEY! MOOONEY!'.
ridiculous!
Totally agree. Counter-productive. We need to realise where we are in the scheme of things. The rest of the ground can't hear the upper covered end anyway!
The guy on front of me spends the whole game ridiculing Mooney and it makes me so angry.
Sadly some of our fans are rather daft it appers
Im glad Parky is giving it back in the media, and the wedge that is being driven between fans and players and will potentially affect even new players signing is toxic....
the booing fans should be ashamed...
I thought it was about being a 'supporter'
I think that was a dark day in Charlton history yesterday and people need to be ashamed of themselves. Booing used to be what other teams did - deluded fans at places like Spurs and West Ham that didn't understand that no-one has a divine right to success. Sadly I doubt anyone boos more than us these days and the booing of Mooney before he'd even kicked a ball was a new low.
Credit to Mooney and Sam for not hiding though. Whatever people say about players being paid big money and that stick is all part of the job - I think human nature would dictate that, when faced with the prospect of your every move being booed and jeered by a large group of people, most people would keep a low profile and try to avoid being in a position to make mistakes. Rather than hide though, the two current favourites of the boo boys showed good courage and character yesterday because they were the two players who consistently got on the ball and tried the things that might go horribly wrong but also might create the key opening. Of course the booing morons were oblivious to that and they copped more and more abuse with every failed attempt, but we need more of that courage from more players between now and May and a suportive atmosphere which is more forgiving of mistakes can only encourage more players to stick their heads above the parapit.
To be honest, if the pathetic 'support' carries on this vein for much longer I won't be going to the Valley anymore because it simply doesn't represent what I used to enjoy about watching Charlton.
Makes me sooo angry, you arent welcome anymore, thats it, the Chairman and Manager should stick it in the program... and we need a clear out, what is the point in having a large (for this league) fan base if they are actually damaging to our own players, Mooneys goal was absolute quality, but does he really want to play for charlton now the fans are booing him and picking him out before he eve KICKS A FRICKING BALL!
GO ,LEAVE, YOUR NOT WELCOME....
Absolute disgrace, appalling...
and then you complain they arent playing for the shirt, would you want to play for an audience that is booing you every chance they get...
Sling your hook, and dont come back..
i think mooney may have been on the end of the fans wrath as they were looking for shelvy to play and unfortunately he wore the brunt of it.but what a great reaction from him and i'm sure the booers would have loved it too
this is just my take on things as i think it's easy to blame the fans for everything when things aren't going right and the problems are closer to home.
Booing your own team is a newish phenomenom, and for some reason we are the best at this new game.....
we are supposed to support the team, can you not see it is the opposite to the 12th man...
we need to help our team, in an attempt to assist them get promtion.
Are you suggesting some strange reverse phycology? Were we boo them to the point where they up their game to spite us?
I wouldn't mind the odd kick up the arse from the fans if we occasionally tried a wall of sound kick-off to full time support once in while but i'm afraid as a group of fans we're all stick and no carrot these days. I wouldn't want to play in it.
Id be laughing and finding it very stange if the home team started booing their own players before kick off, and THEN expected then to care...
booing the players before kick off is like the players coming out on the pitch flicking everyone the bird, and having signs telling the fans to **** off...
If anyone thinks it does anything positive, then unfortunately IMHO they are deluded and trying to find justification for being the opposite to support...
So what do you do if you turn in a MOM the performance and still cop it as Mooney did yesterday?
Well Im delighted your helping then, Ill make sure to start booing before the game ... oh hang on where already doing that... Maybe start boing them when the team bus turns up that might be a good idea....
Its a good job weve got a team of steve browns who reactive positivly to being booed.
I wonder if we have ever booed Steve Brown, I doubt it.
Anyone who chooses to boo does so off their own back and makes their own decision to do so.
We are a poor team, with poor players, and a poor management set up, and no amount of booing is going to change that....
Booing the team is so obviously counter productive., and considering we need everyone pulling in the same direction, maybe people whould make a decision that might help us instead of drive a wedge eeper between players and fans......
Many a time i have come away from millwall matches hating charlton more, but i still come back for more!
I suspect the boos were for the efforts of last week?
These players are paid a decent wage to do a job, in our world we may be stuggling to keep them, if we didn't perform to our best abilities.
Or companies will just go to the wall?
It would be nice for the team to give us something back, but it seems beyond them in all honesty, and if I was being booed I would care even less....
this now seems to be unacceptable to a section of our support.
Now obviously we want success on the pitch, and IMHO booing will damage those chances of success, negativity does not bread positivity.
My veiw is toughen up and take it, as booing doesnt help... it cant help...
exactly though. he has shown them up in the perfect way. the fans will massively respect that and my flabber will be ghasted if he gets it again very soon. people were still seething from millwal away debacle where they didn't get the opportunity to tell the players their true feelings after witnessing such a gutless exhibition in which we didn't have a shot on target
Oh for goodness sakes, get a grip.
AIDS, Cancer, Alcoholism, Earthquakes, Povity etc ruin lives, a bad result in a derby makes the next few weeks at work a bit uncomfortable - keep it in perspective eh?
Argument over Lloyd Sam yesterday
