Ironic given that O'Grady was better than CMS.

Justice said:
COG did a good job CMS looked Sunday league last night.

Simster said:
I'd quite like O'Grady to be given an extended run in the team.

I wish he was a bit more mobile but he can at least hold the ball up and will have about four little munchkins running off him, who he will be very effective playing alongside as soon as he strikes up an understanding with them.

Happily, he might now get his chance.

COG's 2 previous championship games were against Birmingham and Sheffield Wednesday when no one did that well....last night he had the opportunity to show what he had to offer in a better side and wasn't too bad at all

About to post pretty much this. I thought O'Grady looked lively when he came on last night. Maybe he had a point to prove to people, but he certainly seemed more effective than CMS.

Would be good to then both start?

To the chap in the North Stand who quite loudly and very openly booed O'Grady when he came on to replace CMS, why even bother going to the football?! You came across as a complete moronic bellend

Will never understand why home fans choose to boo players for absolutely no reason...[/QUOTES
So some bloke booed,,,and then some precious soul called said bloke a bellend a tosser and a moron as well as insinuating he is a wan--r all on a message forum Quality you sir are the real bellend

Booing - an analysis

For the boo-er ... when I'm annoyed (eg at a ref clearly myopic, biased or in other ways incapable), when I'm frustrated (eg our star striker's earning megabucks but still can't hit proverbial cow's arse with banjo), or when I'm irritated (eg at away team's wind-up merchant, potential superstar running rings around us etc) booing MAKES ME FEEL BETTER. It clearly shows the player/official WHAT IS EXPECTED. And will obviously make them BUCK THEIR IDEAS UP.

For the boo-ee ... it can have a number of effects. It can further depress a player clearly LOW ON CONFIDENCE. It can be a red rag to a bull, making frustrated defender tear around like Sonic the Hedgehog with a battering ram, conceding penalties and free kicks and collecting yellow cards. Not terribly helpful if it's one of your own players. For an official it's often WATER OFF A DUCK'S BACK.

The one thing it probably never does is HELP A PLAYER PLAY BETTER.

Think about it for a minute: you're a professional footballer who wants to be picked every week and be part of a winning team. If you screw up or perform at below the required standards, the chances are ....
YOU know it
YOUR TEAMMATES know it - and may well point this out to you
THE GAFFER knows it – and may well stop picking you / ship you out on loan / let you moulder in the reserves / not renew your contract or sell you
THE COACHING STAFF know it – and hopefully will try to help you improve, unless you're beyond help

So booing anybody is really only about ME and MY EXPECTATIONS. It's not big, it's not clever and it NEVER BLOODY WORKS.

A better alternative: support the team, encourage the players and recognise if you're a football fan you'll experience FAR more frustration and disappointment than joy and success. It's just the way it is.

End of rant/analysis - just my tuppence ha'penny worth. IMHO, like :shrug:

I will BOO next time some twàt sings that utterly shithouse Rock the Kasbah effort.

Booing COG when he came on seems grossly unfair. Nooney got a hearty round of applause and a chant from Albion fans when HE came on :moo:

We could speculate why CoG in particular was abused though, eh?

The more slightly hilarious part was clapping and chanting "Nooney" in the first half......except it was chanted at Cardiff number 21 Joe Ralls.

It was quite a good night for funny stuff. When the chant went up 'We're Brighton'n'Hove Albion, we still play in blue", just about every Cardiff fan held up a blue and white scarf :lol:

There, there. Or did you mean "hear, hear"?

Back on topic, surely booing outbursts would be even more dramatically effective if all intending boo-ers were relocated to WSU and equipped with dummies and a selection of giant inflatable toys for hurling from the parapet in the general direction of the hapless boo-ee.
