    Not a fan of booing but have been known to partake in the odd ironic cheer over the years.

    Any chance other option?

    Booing after poor performances.
    Plus the obvious recent one of If the players take the knee

    No people shouldn’t just clap and cheer anything, but I do think while a game is still going on booing is counterproductive unless we’re getting hammered. Seconds later Vernam was through 1 on 1 who knows maybe a more positive and relaxed environment would have seen a different result to that finish but we’ll never know. If you were a striker coming on and everyone was booing would it increase your performance? Doubt it.

    Yeah if we're counting the EFL trophy games. We'll be counting the reserves next I suppose.

    Not after a one off defeat but as others have said when it's a combination of a defeat(again), poor tactics and poor subs I just feel I have to...

    o_Oo_O Was it acceptable to call HopkinS and O’Connor a pair of useless c**ts after we capitulated against Walsall a couple of seasons ago?

    Imagine being at work and getting bad instructions that just don't work out and getting heckled personally for your performance by a bunch of observers

    Great for morale that I bet

    What bad instructions? Do you honestly think Adams is saying to the players, 'Right lads, I want you to go out there and create loads of chances but whatever you do, don't, I repeat, don't, put the ball in the back of the net'.?????

    I wonder if the players will take responsibility today or hide behind the excuses that those nasty "dimwits" were booing again.

    So booing the team actually made them improve the performance and turned around a losing positive to a winning one?

    Strange that. You'd think it was an impossibility the way some "clap harder" and "cheer failure" types bang on about booing.

    Yes mate. You have to wait until after Citizens member priority period is over and they are on general sale but we got ours the Monday for a game the next weekend. All tickets are e-tickets - you download to your iwallet/android equivalent on your phone and then scan under a barcode reader on gate (if kids dont have phones can save on yours).

    Paid 8 quid to park at ground. Two minute walk from the car park we got in (there’s quite a few)….right up to club shop. No hassle getting out as they put a rolling road block around ground afterwards.

    kids don’t wanna go back to VP now they’ve been to Etihad lol, but it was all very easy and a good family day out.

    Block 313 we got in - tough to get more than two seats together in the family stand or most other areas but 313 was plenty available (albeit this was vs Soton). Great view from the corner. £30 quid adults. £15 kids.

    feels a bit scummy me plugging Man City on here but we’re still City till we die aren’t we. Just a nice novelty to see some good football for a change.

    Kids shirts there are 70 quid with a name on back though lol. They coin it in in their shop!

    Sensible. I left as soon as the third went in to avoid the urge to boo. I can put up with a defeat if we have given it a good go, but last night there wasn't a single player in white who deserved clapping off or was even fit to wear a Bradford City shirt.

    Very little effort, even less ability. Our regression goes on. The problem is we live in expectation rather than hope and that is killing us as much as the lies of our 12 year old CEO and MIA owner.

    Hartlepool may have great support, but they have been lower and their expectation is to stay in this league. Their fans travelled last night for a good day out. Our fans travel expecting to see a win.

    You don't know many professional athletes do you lol

    You do realise athletes including footballers are working 5, 6 days a week at their craft and that idiots booing at the end of a game is over in the blink of an eye

    Those things might stay with the player but it doesn't motivate them to do better next time that comes from within and to be honest we just saw a whole season contested where nobody took it easy because their were no fans present the games might have been a bit weirder but it was what it was

    Motivation for a pro athlete comes from within not whether they're clapped or booed at the end of a match all booing can do is sour the athletes feelings towards the attendees

    They're not Sunday league players who would get right upset every time someone criticises them they don't think 'oh my god I better do better' unless it's their manager that's rollicking them some pissed up idiot in the stand at 9:45 pm on a Tuesday night will only upset them slightly and then they move on and they must think those idiots are even stupider when they applaud a similar performance the following game just because they won

    Booing is dumber than most people realise

    I would think the players on Tuesday night realised that performance was no where near good enough, although Id say most of the booing was in frustration.
