It was disgusting. I'm likely to overstate my feelings because I'm a bit tired, but it sickens me. There is no excuse for it. Even if you're unhappy with a performance (and let's be fair, you'd have to be blind, stupid or mad to think we did well in the first half), but there is no justification for it.
I can understand that after shelling out a shedload of cash on the tickets, people expect some sort of performance. But even then it's not justified. We are the twelfth man. If we expect our players to do well, then we should expect the same of ourselves and booing doesn't accomplish that.
I dissagree, it is discusting when individual players are jeered, but at the half time whistle or full time for that matter, if the players just have not performed, and I am talking about a game like today when we were awful for the first 45, than those who shed out the cash have every right to let the team know they were not good enough.
I spent £80 in total tonight, and I found the first half utterly pathetic. But in the same way that cheering players on motivates them, then booing them will demotivate them and that decreases the chances of them performing better in the second half.
And my own personal feeling is that support should be just that: support. Expressing dissatisfaction is every fans right, but not by booing. Booing is disrespectful, and is pre-meditated. No player walks out onto the pitch with the express purpose of perfroming badly, it just happens. Equating poor performance from players with justification for booing just doesn't cut it with me. Silence would have a greater effect. Can you imagine a stadium with the majority of the fans silent. That would send a much clearer message, I feel.

if we're going to keep our best players the boo boys need to shut the fuck up.
they don't boo at OT
as bad as spurs were first half, i couldn't believe the amount of booing that took place at half-time...bet the same people were cheering the team on after steed's equaliser...talk about fickle:bang:
