Get behind the lads tonight we need to support them because booing dosent help. If we want to get back to the league we need to make ourselves heard and that will help the players.

fair enough, lets hope the players take their cue from the supporters. Do we still need to cheer at the end if it all goes pear shaped?

Absolutely right. If we play bad then I think we should party like never before, form the biggest conger line ever and circle the ground in our love and admiration Lets all do the con ga, lets all do the con ga. jimmy quinn is a god, howie is desisive, cramb is energe tic, midfields pushing fore ward, strikers are on tar get. Sarcasm apart (sorry). Yes, everyone behind our team, 3 points are more important than a tin trophy. Stuff the FA Trophy, I want league football again. Hoorah ;D

The reaction of the fans at half and full time will be defined by 1 thing and 1 thing only
HOW WELL THE TEAM PLAYS

Nobody sets out to boo anybody - the players, the manager or even the referee. However, if the fans are to be subjected to the absolute ineptitude that we have suffered from the above mentioned in the previous two first half performances then they are going to get booed, simple as that! I fully agree with those that say that fans shouldn't just get on the team's back for no reason, which is of course counter-productive, but if the team is playing absolute sh*te and they get no stick off the fans then the chances are they will just carry on. Let us not forget that after being booed off at half time with the score at 0-1 against Scarborough the boys came back out and put four past them in the second half, so it can't be hurting the poor little dears feelings that much! Come on boys, let's have 90 minutes of effort and good football tonight and we'll have no cause to boo. BOOING APPRECIATION SOCIETY! B.A.S

OK then, why don't we all play it the way the team want and be positive tonight - let's see if it really makes a difference. In their defence, it's hardly the existing team's or manager's fault that we were relegated last season. BUT we do have the right to expect this team to try its best to get us out of the Conference after all that's what they were employed to do. As I say, let's all be really positive tonight and see what happens. Does anyone remember the Peterborough Away game under Jake King when we lost about 4-0 - I think we spent the entire second half singing - it was great except for the result and the aftermath

spot on Stutty. same against telford, got booed and came back on and played much better. Now im not saying its good to boo, I just think sometimes people look for excuses, as a few weeks back the team went of at half time got booed and quinn blamed the fact that we played poor the second half on the fans for booing. Its rubbish, as the last two games have shown. These are professionals, if they cant stand the heat.......

I remember that second half of the Peterboro (Jake's last game in charge) well, even though I dont remember seeing any of the second half!
Think we were singing all throughout the second half because if we didnt we would have cried considering our predicament at the time! And strange as it sounds, I still think the side we had in 1999-2000 is the worst we have ever had, and not last seasons.

schizo - what you say is reminicent of the boston game last year (6-0 away) - never have i seen so many town fanc actually laughhing - i mean really laughing at what they were watching - all because all the alternitive emotions were too depressing Most people had reached the point where when they missed the pen it was just a sate of bewilderment not anger (that came later!!!)

Yes I agree. When we're all together on the terraces - it is bewilderment (nigh on hysteria) when it's so bad - as you say, the anger comes later - usually for me the next day.

spot on Stutty. same against telford, got booed and came back on and played much better. lets just start booing them when they come on for their pre-match warm up, and again at half time. Should guarantee 90 minutes of decent football ;D

Worth a try Dulwich And maybe if the booing doesnt help tonite, perhaps we could all try adding the odd hiss for extra effect. ;D Behind the team 100% and I expect nothing less in return.

Lets mix it up a bit tonight though eh? Throw a few 'Shame, shame' in there...hissing adds a little more to it as well me thinks...

I love that phrase boo-boys - has it ever been used outside of a newspaper article? I doubt it.
But if we win 5-0 tonight and Tinno and Darby score expect to read headlines like "Shrews Silence the Terrace Boo-Boys."
I think Tinson's comments in the Star last night about the crowd were out of order - he's got to reliase he's playing at a club with expectations now - not fuggin' Macclesfield.

Maybe we could do a 'Barca' and wave white hankies if we're not happy? I dont think Tinno was used to booing at Macc, I've never seen so many old men in flat caps anywhere as I have at the Moss Rose, and old men dont boo, they just grunt when theyre unhappy Apologies if I've offended any 'old men' in this message.

The words "crowd" and "Moss Rose" don't often appear in the same sentence. Maybe Tinno would be happier if the fans kept the noise down a bit. He's obviously not used to interaction and criticism the poor lamb.

Tinno also said in one of his programme notes that he thought the booing after the game at Dagenham was a bit too much, even though he said the fans do have the right to 'boo'.
With Tinno you'll get a straight forward response with what he thinks of the crowd, he's the last one to walk off the pitch every game and applauds everyone around the ground, but if he's unhappy with the crowd then he will also let you know, can remember when the team were 'booed' back onto the pitch at Dagenham as they ran out for the second half, the look of disgust on Tinno's face was a picture!

Well I just can't agree, I'm afraid.
I would say that the improved second half performances were despite the boos, not because of them. Save your boos for full-time, if they're still warranted.
Can I suggest that, when confronted with a sub-substandard performance at half-time, we don't boo, but revert to chanting that old favourite "Jimmy, Jimmy sort it out, Jimmy, sort it out!"?
Seems a bit more positive IMHO.

How can you say booing has no effect but chanting things does - it cant wotk one way but not the other

Bear in mind that I'm only talking about half-time booing. The game still has 45 minutes to run at that stage, and we've all seen how a game can dramatically change in that time.
Chanting "Sort it out!" demonstrates our displeasure. We're not satisfied with the first half performance, and we want better in the second half. But the chant itself acknowledges that, with greater effort or different tactics or both, they can do it. And we're asking the manager to spark 'em up or bring on a dashing left-winger who just might be chilling his arse on the bench...
Booing is far less eloquent. It only gives a "we're not satisfied" message. It's almost exclusively negative. In addition I feel it may alienate the players. Take Tinson, for example. I think just about everyone would agree he's been brilliant (apart from at Dagenham, of course), and has done nothing to deserve our derision. The fact that he's been moved to publicly grumble about it must indicate something.
