Guest danwilde Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Did anyone watch Soccer Special on Sky Sports last night, when posh scored the guy commenting on the game (cant remember name) said that he could not believe the crowd were booing after last seasons success and it being the first game of the season. He then said they must be fickle fans down at city and Holloway (who was also commentating) agreed with him! So do City have more fickle fans than other teams? Shoudl we be allowed to boo, even after going 1-0 down after 15 mins? Where has last seasons "Gary Johnson says get behind the team" chant gone?

Just a moment of silence before the usual encouraging cheer as the restart happens. There will always be the odd one or two to boo, but definitely not the vast majority. I'm pleased to say those days seem to be well behind us, unless we are utterly dyer, which doesnt happen too often now under GJ. I might even suggest that there is a small of gas in the air, trying to unsteady the boat here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember hearing any booing - in fact as City re-formed for the kick-off after conceding there was a round of cheering as the fans tried to lift the players.

I didn't hear any booing last night, i can only assume you didn't go down if your were watching it on soccer special. In fact i did hear 'get behind the team' being sang in the ateyo after the goal. We don't have an especially fickle fan base, not now we're in this league. In fact, i'd say our tollerance and support has increased during the GJ reign...

Guest danwilde Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 The idiot that made that comment was Tony Gale Thank you!! Was driving me mad tryign to find out his name. So if there was no booing at the ground then Tony Gale said there was, purely so he could say to Holloway "those City fans are fickle" and get a laugh! Not being funny but its a bit sh*t if pundits are sayign things like that and giving the fans a reputation of being fickle when thats not the case! Tony Gale, you are a lier and a fraud!

norwichrobin Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I agree with the gaffer. think the fickle fans tag is something that was left over from the previous dare i say it twenty years or so! when lets face it we have turned out some dross, and you couldnt blame people picking and choosing there games. Season tickets didnt cover last night then i take it, maybe next year then ...........

dezgimed Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 To be fair I think Tony Gale is normally pretty good. He does actually know a lot about football outside of the Prem unlike alot of the others. Yeh I think him and Alan Walsh are the pick of the bunch when it comes to talking sense. They of course finish 2nd and 3rd respectively behind the daddy, Ray Wilkins. "I'm sorry to all the kids watching at home, but if a player spits in your face, you lamp him one''.

TomRitchie'sBoots Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 no booing of the team by City fans but definitely some wingeing near me in the Dolman - usual suspects who only seem happy when they've got something to complain about, pick on every missed place pass etc etc. v.much the minority but every team's them - I remember going to Spurs in their 80's heyday being stood next to some Tottenham fan who spent the whole game shouting 'Hoddle you're useless, get stuck in....'

rayer Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 After this booing line, they returned to Tony later and asked if the City fans had cheered up yet as half time just blew. Tony responded no and you could hear booing in the background as they did a live audio from the gate that he was commentating on. Whether they were saying Skuuuuse though I don't know. I have been at the gate once when city were 1-0 up and when half time blew up, parts of the crowd booed. Bizarre !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cummins17 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 i would love itif city introduced a rule that says if you boo the boys you get kicked out as whats the point watching the city if your not going to get behind them it does my head in !

Guest guernica Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Was definitely like a friendly at times. Seemed to me like the team needed the crowd to get them going but the crowd needed something to cheer in order kick start things. Sounds weird but I think going a goal down actually helped...

So if there was no booing, then the guy commentating was making it up whcih is a touch unprofessional. Tried to find out his name but no luck, anyone know? The reason that you wont find many who like City on Skp sports is simply because jeff stelling supports Hartlepool and has not forgotten "that other nite."( that nite has now been surpassed by last seasons heroics against palarse.) so most commentators/ pundits will side with Stelling, so snide remarks like that will score points with Stelling. I don't exepect to get many pundits media championing us but that suits me id rather they didnt it helped us last season so no reason why it cant again. Lets us get on quietly with the business of winning. Edit I remeber what the booing was for now it was during first half when p'boro fans were chanting Fergie frgie give us wave which he didnt and they booed and we sang johnson johnson give us a wave which he did and one of the biggest cheers of the night. Got the crowd going after that so fair play to GJ he always waves if we sing loud enough.
