That's true dedication, travelling all the way over to boo the team!'" No us Bradford fans we boo our players when their name was announced after they had scored a try.

You miss the point. That's to motivate him to try harder. No, really...

Either it is your turn to be "dishonest" or I suggest you see a specialist about your ears.

Do not accuse me of being dishonest. That's your province. I was there. You were not. I can have others support what I said. You cannot.

You see, it is the one bonus of watching it on the telly, you get the fuller picture.

| To put some context to one of the small group of people booing, one such small knott (and there were plenty of groups of booing but it was still not the majority - the majority were stunned into silence and occational shouts of frustration). One of the guys booing behind me, after a chorus of abuse turned and asked his mate "and why don't we just get big Joe on anymore to get us going?" - idiot. So I"ll take his opinion and duly ignore it.

It isn't a bonus you ignorant fool, I've watched both, but how you would have any clue about the issue of 'booing in the stand' from the TV only you seem to know, and only an ignorant fool would go to the lentgths of calling someone a liar on an issue to which you do not and cannot actually know the truth, as you weren't there.

| Quote: Bully_Boxer "The ground was deadly silent for most of the game. The booing was still in the minority but certainly the most we have heard this season. Certainly around where I was stood, the booing was coming from a largish group of teenagers who didn't look to have a brain cell between them.
I will never understand what they expect their boo's will bring about though. They booed, jeered and shouted and signalled abuse as the players went off at HT. In my opinion, this doesn't motivate players it simply heaps more pressure and causes them to try impossible plays. I couldn't applaud the players last night after the match because it wasn't an acceptable performance... but similarly I couldn't boo MY team.
I spoke to a bloke before the Leeds game, one which I was fully expecting us to lose. We were chatting about the unfair boo's of Platt as his name was announced. I thought his comments summed it up well 'Platt might be crap, but he still plays for my side so the supporters should get behind him'.'"
I disagree. Everyone pocketed around Odsal will all have different views on how much booing was going on etc so we're never really going to know - as it all seems to be relevant as to where you were standing and sitting.
I was in the section just infront of the box the coaching team use. It was pretty hostile there, with the majority in each bar section jeering and booing with a couple of people abusing the booers and generally having a view of it's not Maccas fault (they were really in their minority).
Just a note that is off topic, but it got to a stage where the crowd in our section were watching the coaching box with the highlight of the night being Paul Deacons face as he struggled to shut the box window, he was so confused as to why it wouldn't shut.

| Are we back on the people shouldn't boo topic based on a "minority" of fans booing.
I'm sorry guys but there was plenty of booing, plenty of people walking out and plenty of negative feeling towards the coach.
To try to dismiss the booing as a minority or from fans who are clearly clueless is wrong. Some people need to wake up and see what was happening, I posted last night that we on here are the minority and the majority spoke last night...it was pretty clear to me and seemed to be coming from all areas of the ground, the "we want macanara out" chant came from the seated stand and I heard it loud and clear from where i was stood.

| Quote: Cibaman "I thought the booing of Platt when he had scored was fairly pathetic.'"
Seconded. A really well thought through tactic to improve his performance, wasn`t it.
I`d like to ask the deluded fools who booed the team to tell us just when booing ever improved anything? Of course, you`ve paid your brass and if you want to boo then go ahead. It`s your right, after all. I`m not going to suggest that these people aren`t `real supporters because they patently are but it only makes things worse since no player ever got better by being booed.
It`s a fair cop. The quality in the side, particularly the backs, isn`t what it was but the lads who pull on the shirt are doing their best, they might not be Big Les , TV , Shonny or Mick Withers (and the reasons for this are a separate issue), in fact there`s no argument, they`re not, but Booing?? It`s going to turn them all into superstars is it?
I`d guess that right now the team`s confidence is really low, still never mind, all the boos will have really lifted the squad, the booers must feel very proud.
In my view, as a supporter, at the game I support everyone who pulls on the shirt (I do mutter under my breath from time to time, I`ll admit to that) and that goes from the head coach down to the ball boy, whatever I write on here or elsewhere, at the match the support is unequivocal.
The reason for that is not that I don`t recognise the shortcomings, because I can see plenty, nor is it because I`m somehow deluded enough to think everything in the garden is rosy because it isn`t, no the reason is I want the team to be the best it can be, to play the best rugby it`s capable of playing and to reach the highest position it is able to. I reckon the best way to do that is to cheer them on.
