Entitled to me- would be fans saying we used to be in Premier league, I’m not watching non league! But we don’t, we still turn up in our thousands. I’d say we have the most resilient fans in the country. I've worded that badly, it should've read we're more entitled than most fans to voice our displeasure after decades of absolute toss. We're absolutely not entitled in the other sense, I think most Latics fans now would be happy with us just stringing a few wins together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyOAFC Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I don't understand why people are making a big deal out of booing. Some people do it and some people don't. I thought the booing at Half Time was justified. However, I'm not going to start slagging people off for not booing. It's really not big of an issue that some people are making out. Get over it.

People are making out as if that's all we do. The Athleticos are there every home game supporting and cheering on the side, yet people make out as if the fans are constantly booing the side. People have different ways of expressing dissatisfaction. I don't see why it's such a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same at any club, however some faithful will go for decades come rain or shine. To be fair plenty from that era are no longer with us! - and every club needs new and younger fans to come on board. It's remarkable that anyone under the age of about 35 is bothered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone's entitled to boo if they wish (I don't) but it was a bit ironic at halftime on Tuesday because they'd not played that bad. It's more effective when it's in context.

Pretty sure United were booed off when they were walloped by Brentford not all that long ago. I especially remember the stick they got as a team and Giggs in particular in the 1994 Wembley FA Cup semi final from United fans behind where I was sitting before Hughes scored.

With the greatest respect, I'm not sure the first half of that sentence is required in order to demonstrate the validity of the second half.

Simpo Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I agree with sentiment of the opening post. But actually, I feel like the home crowds have been really quite patient this season. I remember in previous seasons (talking a few years ago, drifted away from being into football during the Lemsagam years), just a misplaced pass would get instant mass jeers of derision. Now it feels like there's an acceptance that we're at a level where that's just gonna happen a lot, and there's no real crowd reaction Then there's (usually) a decent amount of constant positive noise coming from the home end, and it all adds up to what I feel is a decent environment to play in. Yes, Halifax was a bit ugly, but then a lot of ire was also directed at the referee, and we were really shite. Maybe it's because I've not been a regular for a while until now, but that's how it feels to me. Theres the ingredients for it to be one of the best places to watch football in if we start getting things more right than wrong in the pitch.

Always music to our ears when the other team's fans start up slagging their own side. Back in the day we called them Sidestand Moaners. To continue the classy theme, Voltaire said: ‘POUR ENCOURAGER LES AUTRES’. As we all know from our history lessons, he was taking the piss when the British shot their own Admiral, for putting up a poor show against the French. https://wordhistories.net/2016/10/22/pour-encourager-les-autres/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
