So everyone who sits up there are fairweather fans?

Come on Matt, think before you post

Yeah. You're right. Poor statement really. I would just like to think our loyal fans dont boo our team. And this booing was directed at the players.

I think those seeking to stamp out any hint of dissent, to totally sterilise the Town supporting experience, have finally become a parody of themselves.

The overwhelming majority of customers at the b2net were in excellent voice today, sending the team off with applause at half and full time. Indeed my interpretation of a tiny handfull of boos was that they were aimed at the ref. And if not? Well those paying their money to watch us fail to kill off the worst side in the league have the right to express themselves.

This affected indignation and feigned repugnance really is becoming boring.

Fair do's Matt

To be honest I heard a little booing as we were sat up there, I believe it was mainly aimed at the idiot ref, as he was over that side of the pitch at the end.

Well bloody said Chris.

The booing was for the ref guys .. He got another round of boos when he walked off from the West stand.

I can't say I've never uttered a boo ... But ... It would be well into a miserable season with the team showing a lot less effort than I saw today

What the hell is your problem???

We played well as a team could have scored 6 first half. The opposition were a sticky bunch to beat. They played long ball football and sat quite deep.

Our boys need confidence they are all trying hard as are JS and co. Do you want your team to succeed?

If so SUPPORT THEM THEN!!!

No one should boo yesterdys performance, the committment was there it was just the final finish that wasn't.I think most of the boos were aimed at the ref,near the tunnell evry player got a rousing reception as they walked off.

[Norton Blue]

I was sat in the East stand near the away end and heard muffled boos from isolated town fans, but i'm pretty sure from Orient fans too. In any case i certainly didn't think that was a performance worthy of booing. Lots of positives for me. Just needed that little bit of luck in front of goal.

Then why not just sing you're not fit too referee cos were I was sitting it sounded more like the boos were for the team, which if so is uncalled for.

How can you post this when you don't know what the booing was for? I was in the kop and I think you'll find that most of the booing where I was sat was directed at the referee who had an absolute shocker. Notice how the booing increased when the ref was going down the tunnel? Pretty explanatory why that was the case. So stop been so self-righteous and try and find out some facts before posting this stuff. Does nothing but cause uneccesary arguments which we dont need as there is enough about as there already is

[YorkBlue]

If you want to heckle the referee, wait until he begins to walk off the pitch. Booing at the final whistle tends to occur to show dissatisfaction at the result, I think we've all been to Saltergate enough times to know that

[SpireiteFitzy]

The ref had been getting heckled ever since lester's injury though, it carried on through the game, full time, and when he walked off the pitch. I think animosity towards the ref has been misunderstood as dissatisfaction towards the team. Remember Burton last year when the ref sent nivo off he got boo'd off at full time too.

I was in the kop and we were all booing the ref, he was beyond useless. 9 out of 10 times we would have won that game.

And this was down to the ref was it?? I'm not saying he wasn't very good, but I fail to see how we can blame him for the result.

No, it was down to bad luck in front of goal, but the refs performance was inexcusable.

Not fit to referee and referee's a banker had been chanted a few times earlier. We didnt play badly, should have won and didnt lose, the ref denied us a pen that would have won the game, and the big boo at the end was for him, not the team.
