Manly Fans Boo their own team off the firld

Posted by SliceOfRice on April 16, 2018 at 3:00pm

As the halftime siren sounded, boos could be heard echoing around Brookvale as the players walked off to the sheds.MANLY fans have savaged their team aftera diabolical first half against the Wests Tigers on Sunday at Lottoland.The Sea Eagles were stunning by the Tigers who took a 26-0 lead into the break, thanks to the likes of Luke Brooks and Benji Marshall who put on a clinic.-Fox SportsI’m hoping we don’t ever stoop soo low, because when we cheer, it isn’t just for the team playing, but Also for those legends who’ve come before them and proudly ran out onto the field and triumphed wearing what we hold so dear to our hearts, the mighty BLUE AND GOLD!

Manly fans boo because they demand excellence at all times.

We on the other hand settle for poor performances and spoons. Players stay in their confort zones and play the same crap week after week.

Different mentality at the Northern shores.

Parramatta v Canberra (circa 1989). Parra down 0-26 (or something like that) at half time. The boos from the Parra faithful as they walked to the sheds was long, loud and clear. The second half...... well that's another story.

  Was that the game Don Price led the fightback to an unlikely Parra victory? Best game ever if so.
  
  Edit -Just looked up Don Prices career and he wasn't playing then so not the game I was thinking of.

    Sure it was not Bob Linder (spelling ) 22/2 half time

I'm sure if our game against manly had been a home game you would have heard boos. Actually, who knows, maybe we will hear it this weekend. Theres definitely a good chance.

I find it interesting regarding fans booing there own team. There are two fields of thought here.

1. Never boo, always support. These fans believe that booing their team when they're playing poorly only hurts them more. They believe in continuously supporting their side whatever the scoreline. They're also likely to be seen still in their seats at full time.

2. I can boo them because I pay. These fans believe they can boo their own team if they're playing poorly as they pay to see their side. Often they'll be spotted sidling out of the ground 5-10 minutes prior to full time.

  Nothing wrong with booing a team that deserve it even if its your own team, its one of the oldest things in sport.

    Exactly.
    
    A fan who is paying deserves to vent his feelings.
    
    When you go to a restaurant and your meal is poor, you complain dont you? Why should the footy be any differant.
