If a player is not up to snuff, or the manager repeatedly makes the same mistakes etc, then I have no qualms at all with booing. They are football professionals, who have intentionally placed themselves in the public spotlight. Sorry Wheelton I can’t agree, when they are on the park we HAVE to get behind them, encourage and cagoule an improvement. Would you try your best if your colleagues called you an inept wanker. I don’t think so. Boo at the end if you really have to, but not until the end of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyblue Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) I don’t boo, but if the lot of them get booed off, manager included, at full time after a stinker then fair enough. But of course you shouldn’t boo players in the middle of a game, what a ridiculously counter-productive thing to do.

Upside Down Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 The way this thread has gone is amusing. I've heard it before that Rovers fans tend to be far more patient and forgiving than most. So anyway, Tony Mowbray..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get called out at work, I do my level best to prove them wrong. But you're right. The next time we're getting booted out of a cup by a lower league team, or we're 3-0 down at half time after another insipid showing, I'll keep on clapping. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Andrews, Chris Brown and Ward all being booed before the games even kicked off which is pathetic, shows a distinct lack of intelligence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(as is the nature of most true born and bred Blackburners) It usually takes a long string of very poor performances and that feeling of there being little to no light at the end of the tunnel for things to start getting tetchy in the stands. On the rare occasion things get nasty(ie. the Kean debacle) it's normally because the manager or a player has done or said something completely inappropriate towards the fans or club. #MowbrayOut #WaggotOut Edited November 19, 2021 by Armchair supporter supremo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Wilcox for example used the grief he got as a youngster to motivate himself to become one of the very best left wingers in the league at the time, even getting a few england caps in the process, only the likes of Giggs where ahead of him as left wingers at that time but Giggs was world class Edited November 19, 2021 by Armchair supporter supremo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upside Down Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Never Really understood the Keith Andrews hate. I thought that was bang out of order to be honest. I remember Ashley Ward getting a lot of stick and we certainly were not shy of letting Brian Kidd know how we felt. I'll never for get us all chanting "Tony Parks' blue n white army" and in between some guy was yelling "Fuck off Brian Kidd!" To be fair though, by that point we had an absolutely abysmal season.

Mowbray out Waggot out My personal favourite excuse is when he bemoans either the size or quality of his own squad as if it’s something that has nothing to do with him.

Armchair supporter supremo Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 It's really just flannel to satisfy for those sheepies that get 50% of their rovers information and news from the LT (and the other 49.5% from the official rovers site and social media accounts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomphil Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 He talks that much waffle at times these days that when he does speak with some clarity it's hailed. Surely he should be talking clear common sense at all times ? Listened to Eddie Howe yesterday talking about how he's about to approach things at the Newcastle madhouse. Never fail to be impressed by him when he speaks, clear lines in the sand, clear intentions and firm delivery. Not comparing him directly to TM they are different eras but you'd never get the likes of Howe shrugging their shoulders. It's either yes we are doing it this way or we aren't and if it doesn't work i'll hold my hands up and fall on the sword. Mind you maybe in a decades time he'll sound altogether different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sold on Howe to be honest, but good luck to him though and only time will tell. The problem I see is he seems the type of manager that needs a long length of time to really put his stamp on a club to get them all on the same page as him, I just don't see him getting more than a year max to really get them moving forward, especially once he starts spending serious money! they'll want to see results pretty sharpish I expect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
