It lets the players and coaches know that, as a paying supporter, you are less than impressed with what you are seeing and a kick up the ass is the order of the day. "St Helens supporters demand entertaining rugby" say the press. - but how would anyone know if the fans stood politely and applauded everything that they witnessed? I've booed Saints twice in my time and appaulingly both times were against the pies - but they flaming well deserved it, especially when you're 0-60 down at home! No, it didn't get behind the team, so I suppose on those occasions I wasn't a 'supporter'.

I do take on board however the booing of a team that is top of super league.

Personally I thought it was fairly weak by our standards given the dross being dished up on the pitch. What happened to sit-ins or "Sack the Board...etc?". We've gone soft

I still maintain that, whatever your opinion on the booing, it is the paying customers entitlement to react how they wish to the level of performance.

If you don't feel like it, don't boo. Each to their own.

Quite right but it doesn't detract from the fact that they are booing because of their own ignorance and lack of understanding of the bigger picture

They don't know how to articulate their displeasure properly so they make a monosyllabic noise

Mate I don't particularly disagree with you, but playing devil's advocate for a minute, how else are they supposed to articulate their displeasure? Supporters don't really have a great deal of options available to them in this regard...clearly a lacklustre performance doesn't merit a sit-in protest or a march!

I advise you to turn your phone off too, someone might text you the score and ruin your evening you poor little lamb.
