To boo or not to boo – that is the question!
December 20, 2008
When I go and watch a football match I expect many things. I decent pint, a tasty pie and of course plenty of effort from those people who don my club colours. If I do not get this then I am not a happy man at all. But this does raise one question which have become increasingly pertinent recently and that surrounds whether it is right and proper for you to boo your team or players if things are not going to plan.
Last week of course Arsenal’s Emmanuel Eboue was singled out by the Gooners and he came in for quite a bit of stick on the back of an admittedly dire performance.
My own opinion is if the team are not collectively putting in the required amount of effort then you have every right to show your dissatisfaction with this. You have paid your money and as long as this does not deteriorate in to abuse then I do not see the problem with letting the team know exactly what you think of their performance.
Singling players out over a period of time however is wrong – if they are playing that badly they surely wont be picked in the first place. Remember that nothing good comes of singling players out – if you want to have a dig then do it after the game not while the match is still being played.
I am all for supporters expressing their opinions but there is a correct way to do so.
Do you agree with booing your own team or players? Leave us a comment!
