Wouldn't say I'm for it, but I wouldn't knock a supporter who felt the need to.
Bombers are a basket case of a club, a stone throw away from sacking their coach, only just beat North by three points, aided by Wells failing to make it through the warm up and Hail getting a recall, after already playing in the VFL that afternoon. At one stage they lead us by 58 points. We made them look top four.
Our showing was an example of everything that is wrong with our club. Destiny forever in our hands and forever shooting ourselves in the foot. Our own worst enemies. History is on the verge of repeating itself, just like 1998, reminding us of the most painful of all football lessons, you don't always get another chance. Don't be surprised if Lyon gets the chop at seasons end and Hird becomes our new coach.
Booing the team off the ground?

Needed plenty of alcohol to get through that, but STAYED TILL THE END! Players can't just walk off the ground (though some on here will come back and say that they did) so we shouldn't either!
You think the players don't already know how bad they played? Even the scoreboard tells them that! Yesterday is now history, today is a new day. As has been stated many times...
STRENGTH THROUGH LOYALTY!

But I thought watching it that the game was over even before quarter time.

If I can cheer them off the grd after a win surely I can let them know how I feel otherwise?
it was totally
TOTALLY unacceptable.
I gave them a spray on the way back to the rooms.
GUTLESS pissweak performance.
They are currently NOT a top four team and nowhere near a flag in 2010.
They deserved to be given a spray.
If you accept that s*** from last night you accept we will never win a flag.
I support the team b ut expect them to try their best.
Lance or James??

I'm in favour of this thread. Booing off the ground should serve as another method of reinforcement that the way they played was not up to standard. Ross has done his equivalent of a boo by saying that they were "pathetic". How else can we display our disdain? Should they be applauded for that game?
To all the be positive critics, we still love them but not that performance. We punish poor behaviour in society whether it be a crime or your child performing a simple misdemeanor. Booing will serve as punishment and to motivate change from the perspective of the supporters.
They will lick their wounds, analyse their performance and come back stronger.

I understand the frustration and anger at that "effort" ( 
) but I could never in all honesty endorse a call to boo our own team off the field.
I think a more effective way of showing our feelings would be to simply let the side walk down the race to the sound of their own footsteps!
I was just too sick to even spray them!
And by the way, I'll be wearing my colours whilst out and about this week, just to defy the bastards who are ready to feast on our carcass!!!!

Exactly. They're supposed to be big boys (men even) and they're getting piles of (our) money. They have to be man enough to take the good with the bad. What goes around comes around. If they dish up crap, they'll get crap in return.The Fireman wrote:I think I would like them to know my feelings about their performance on my behalf on the night.

A boo is abit different from spitting on someoneBuckets wrote:Yes lets BOO them! Might as well spit on them while they are walking back to the rooms and start calling Milney a Rapist! And then on Monday morning drop a truck load of chicken hearts and marshmellows at the front door of the club just for good measure....

Totally agree with this. Can't boo them. But we can show them our feelings by not cheering them. I certainly didn't clap them off the ground. Clapped good efforts during the game, but usually we clap our team at the end of the qtr to show our support, not last night. Our silence is the only way we can show our disappointment.thejiggingsaint wrote:I understand the frustration and anger at that "effort" (

Was wondering as I booked my SC tickets for next weeks game if I should even bother....briefly. I'll be there cheering them on. Lets hope they don't serve up the same effort.

Not the answer
Booing your team off is not the answer, but we are all disappointed with an outfit that has a ton of talent but at present, not an ounce of heart and desperation to win a game. I hope the players read this site - they need to develop some mongrel, real quick.
