Booing - It's just a form of cathartic feedback. Get over it. (No toddlers or automobiles were harmed in the expression of this view.)
It doesn't cost people ticket and travel money to watch their kid trip up.
Well, they're hardly ever likely to, are they? But maybe, just maybe the thought of the previous weeks response to an abysmal performance may act as the catalyst to ensuring it wasn't followed up the following week!That negatively impacts the team.
Not sure what you’re after, but I quite like City playing well and winning.
When has a player ever, ever said that they were motivated by their own fans booing them?
What are you talking about parents not spending money on their kids?This is irrational. Booing increases the chances of future money being wasted on watching another shit performance. You are literally making the situation you’re complaining about worse. Where’s Alanis Morrisette when you need her?
And if you think parents don’t spend money on their kids, I really don’t know what to say.
I can understand frustrated booing at the end of a game or first half. But to single individuals out or for it to be a first resort in mid game is futile. Surely a roar of supportive passion is more likely to lift and galvanize a team?
I am sure there was a case in the sixties or seventies where an opposing player missed a one on one because the Liverpool Kop spontaneously sprung into life as he was about to pull the trigger.
Players don't deliberately play badly. Perhaps fans should start booing negative supporters? That might be more fun!
I think that absolute silence as the fans leave the stadium would be just as effective.The only reason i would boo the team i support is when they don't bother to try and put in a desent performance.
I reckon thats fair enough.
Another analogy would be an employee of yours is under performing. What you could do is tell them they are brilliant and give them a pay rise (cheering and clapping them no matter the performance) or you bring them in for a chat and tell them that their performance is unacceptable and needs to be improved (booing).
FWIW I cant stand people booing during the game or getting on player's backs, this would definitely make things worse. But I don't get applauding truly terrible performances either. Get behind the team during the whole 90 minutes and if they are consistently terrible then let them know after 90 minutes.
There was no reason to boo at Barnet because, although the game was shit, there was no lack of effort from the players. Chesterfield was a different matter because we'd lost the previous two and just drawn against bottom of the league, all three games we looked like we had no creativity, idea of how to break a team down or passion in what we were doing. No reason not to tell players that they need to improve after that.
With 7k in the stadium we get that regardlessI think that absolute silence as the fans leave the stadium would be just as effective.
Yep, the majority of last season I would say.The only reason i would boo the team i support is when they don't bother to try and put in a desent performance.
I reckon thats fair enough.

I just did, wish I hadn't. What on earth is the point you're trying to get across?Yes you are just booing the gladiators......but then you are also booing ordinary people like Kris Kirkland and Danny Swanson. Think about it.

Ok-and what has that got to do with a kid tripping up?:emoji_thinking:It’s nothing like a quiet chat in private, that’s one of the poorest analogies I’ve read on this site. It’s loud, public, indiscriminate and lacking in any constructive nature.
There’s fucking psychological research all over the place on motivating people and not one bit of it recommends booing them in public FFS. It’s not rocket science.
You said football was different (from parenting) because fans have spent time and money on it, implying parents don’t spend time and money on their kids.
Two players (and there are many more) whose careers have been blighted by depression. We have all heard the term football is a confidence it and it is. Nobody seems to care when the collective 'we' suck the confidence out of a player. I understand the customers right to collectively boo a team's performance. But rounding on individuals needs more thought. We get sucked into the football star figure and forget these people are just people like me and you, with emotions and feelings. Booing individuals doesn't make them better players.

In every walk of life (and certainly in the 'work place') 'criticism' whether justified or not is something we will all experience. I've not read the whole piece on Chris Kirkland but there seems to be an assumption that his condition was caused or possibly exacerbated by negativity to some of his performances?Two players (and there are many more) whose careers have been blighted by depression.

Booing individuals doesn't make them better players; but it can have a massive impact on their lives and their families.
