Did you boo at half and/or at fulltime?

or the bankers bonuses?

Very true. But left them out as people do moan about them. It's fair to say that there a LOT of people who deserve to be criticised for their pay far more than footballers, who do at least have a particular talent that is uncommon. Even the worst pros are way, way better than the average

Some people are so intent on telling others how they should and shouldn't react. Boo if you want, cheer of you want, sing if you want, leave early if you want. Everyone pays for a ticket and how they choose to use it (barring sociably unacceptable behaviour of course) is their choice, some BHA fans need to just wind their neck in and stop trying to govern the masses and turn the lens on themselves.

And no, I didn't boo...didn't clap either though as for me there was nothing worth showing thanks or appreciation for that had not been covered by parting with my time and money.

No I agree it's not disgusting, it's childish and pathetic.

For God's sake what is wrong with you people? Booing is simply an emotional reaction, and not an uncommon one last night. People paid good money to go out on a chilly evening to watch what turned out to be not what they had hoped. Not one of us was happy with that performance, some of us were simply more honest about it and willing to give voice to our disapproval of it. What exactly is wrong with that? If you pay good money to see a comedian and he's not funny, do you pretend to laugh? I think shouting ”woooooooahhhhh you're shit hahaha" every time the opposing keeper takes a goal kick is childish and pathetic, but I just ignore it. I've never felt the need to go on message boards berating those who do it. I bet the people who do it think they are "pwoper fans" though. Jesus Christ get a grip.

Disgusting? Booing? Get a sense of perspective man.

It's pretty rancid behaviour from people who want everything and they want it now. Unfortunately life doesn't work like that.

So now you've awarded yourself not only the right to judge your fellow man, but also the omniscience to know the motives of all those who booed a bad football performance. Clearly you're an exceptional individual and we should all bow down before you. Either that, or suggest that you're a self-righteous arse.

Would have to be pretty exceptional circumstances for me to boo the team off, but we were unbeaten the last 6 games and are 3 points off the play-offs. With the reaction last night, you'd have thought we were in Barnsley's position. I didnt boo and I didnt clap. Silence would have been a better message than booing.

Its pathetic and unhelpful - though I can understand why it happened.

The players collectively were well under-par last night and any booing they got was justified.

Booing is wrong, full stop. On two levels, firstly they are footballers, not robots or the enemy. Secondly it is counterproductive in a way that silence is not. I still clapped off the players because they made an effort in the second half and we are supposed to be supporters through thick and thin.

They know they played badly, what they need from us is support and not fickleness. They will then, in turn deliver better performances. If they play whilst thinking that the moment they make a bad pass or lose with a bad performance the fans are going to turn it will just turn them into England...

Dare I say it, but Palace's fans are getting justified plaudits from all the media for their immense vocal support in adversity, and quite frankly ours was pathetic from start to finish last night. Palace won, we didn't. Adding boos to that just turns us into Spurs or West Ham fans, and that ain't good.

Nail on head, seriously apart from being quite appalling behaviour what do people think it's going to achieve??? They're our team FFS.

It was such a shit performance in the first half that the boos were totally predictable, have to confess I was tempted to join in....but if the players need me to boo for them to know how shit they were I'd be worried.

Yes, at the end BUT before the holier than thou brigade start on me, I was not booing Brighton and Hove Albion. I was booing certain individuals.

The bus company - 15mins late, didn't know the route, didn't arrive in time.
My wife- dropped out with a chest infection two hours before the game.
David Burke - not aquirring us bet players.
The medical staff - not keeping those players we've got fit.
Oscar Garcia - baffling team selection, piss poor tactics, rubbish substitutions.
Nathan Jones - pointless and looks more like an anorexic weasel with each passing week.
Gordon Greer - not very good and the least inspiring of captains.
Bruno - a dilettante.
Bridcutt - off the pace, can't shoot
JFK - not in the game
Spanish - hopeless scaredy cat
Crofts- ponderous
Conway - "they call me the tank". Tanker more like.
Barnes - "I've made it tough for the gaffer". No you haven't.
Buckley- seems to have forgotten how to play.
Tony Bloom for allowing this on his watch.
Beach Hut.

It's not very often that a post on NSC makes me reach for the Oxford English..... :bowdown:

I didnt boo but for the first time I can remember for a long time did not stay and clap them off the pitch.

I thought we deserved nothing from the game as we just didn't turn up on the pitch until about the 60th minute. It was a very bad day at the office, IMHO Ward was OK and Augustein was good when he came on, but all other players (espcially in a non existent midfield) were very very poor.

Credit to Barnsley who took the 2 goals (yes we gifted them by failing to get a tackle in, well several tackles for both goals) very well. Also how did Upson get MOTM? He scored 1 but was central to the 2 in the goals against column!

Anyway roll on Saturday and rubbish Leicester who lost to 23rd place Sheffield Wednesday.

I think everyone's being a bit precious about this booing stuff.

I'm sure the players can take a bit if booing. Spare a thought for our cricketers down under at the moment though.
