I sat in WS6 last night, and ‘vigorously remonstrated’ with the bloke sitting behind me as he was booing and shouting abuse at Martinez. Have no idea if he frequents this site (If he did, I’d apologise to him, as I was perhaps a little too vigorous in my remonstration), but fair play to him, he was man enough to apologise to me and admit that he overreacted – unlike the other ‘supporters’ booing in close proximity, who cowered into their seats like scolded puppies, and remained totally silent for the last five minutes of the game.
My question to this gentleman was ‘what is the point of booing, and what will it achieve?’
I’m sure Martinez, Whelan and the players are fully aware that the supporters aren’t happy when there’s a bad result, so is it a message to the press? We only get five thousand on for cup games, and three thousand of those boo their own team and manager.
I bet Moses is delighted he signed for us and will soon playing in front of our loyal band of supporters.
