| I could see why people did it yesterday after the dire first half, i didnt boo but there were alot of people to the left who did.
I couldnt think of boo'ing the team after the success ive seen with Saints during the SL era. I would agree with people who say we have been spoilt over the early 2000's and that the teams before this have set an very very high standard of RL and this team seemingly isn't living upto what people expect.

5 minutes or less. It did happen.
Even I was shocked.'"
All 8,000 of us booed did we? No didn't think so. I can't control the actions of a few idiots.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it doesn't make it right. What exactly does booing your own team achieve?

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 think it's a brilliant excuse not to turn up! I have no stomach for a tonking from Leeds. I won't even be watching it on TV if it's on TV. I'll be in hiding, doing something else entirely so as not to think about our woeful performance and the awful scoreline that is sure to be hitting us.
Unless a miracle occurs in the next fortnight and we suddenly become the team we once were.

| I don't agree with booing the team and have never booed saints but if paying fans wish to boo they have every rite.
These players like to walk round pitch to claps and fans chanting there names after a win so should take it on chin when booed. It works both ways.
I've been at old Trafford for our last to defeats and stood up at end to clap the players from the field but last 2 years they have shot down the tunnel with no respect for the fans still there clapping them.

Have you ever been to a Saints match that has made you happy? I have not seen one positive comment in any of your 446 posts.

Really? It is good knowing that there a thousands of people on your back. People dissatisfied.
Whenever I'm having a bad day a work, someone coming round pointing it out to me makes things a million times worse. I know I'm having a bad f*cking day! F*ck off.
You could see the effect it had on them as they "applauded" after the match. They were frankly embarrassed to be going through the formality.

I didn't stay to clap this time as frankly I was too piddled off with them but assuming your interpretation of the team reaction is correct, who is to say whether they were embarrassed by the fans' performance or by their own?

What a load of hogwash
If I was a Saints player I'd be wondering why I put my body on the line every week for such a bunch of ungrateful & ignorant "fans"
