if we had drawn having previously lost our last 5 home games then I think booing
would have been acceptable

however, we had won our previous 5 home games prior to Saturday and we still drew, not lost, so In
this particular instance I think the players deserved the benefit of the doubt, personally I just left the ground at
the end and felt that booing was unnecessary when the players are on such a good run of form at home, I dont think
they deserved that but we seem to have got above ourselves as a fanbase these days and demand success at every
given turn rather than accept there will be ups and downs.

I would simply say to Mr.Blake. "when was the last time you paid to see a football match?"

Its not that I expect success at every stage, what I do expect is them to try their hardest - on Saturday they did not.

I have seen very entertaining 0 - 0 draws where both teams had numerous chances and GKs were on top form etc - I have also seen better on FIFA 14!!!

These are not little kids learning the game they are well paid to do a job - so they should do it :old:

This is what it boils down to and always comes back to, the old 'they are well paid', which of course, they are, but this doesn't mean they are exempt from having an off day, or that the tactics failed to work, or that the opposition just had it better than us on the day.

Does that mean that a team that won their previous 5 home games in front of the very same fans deserved to get boo'd off after a draw, not a defeat, a draw.

Nah, no it doesnt IMO, but hey ho, we will just have to agree to dissagree :thumbup:

Not real supporters in my book. Paying money to hurl abuse and boos.

No because they are addressed as customers.

Blake was out of order when he robbed a fruit machine and we were disappointed in him.
