Did they leave and then come running back in to boo, or did they boo as they were leaving?

Quoted from 28195
Ok so it is mature to leave with ten minutes to go and boo the players when we've been on a good run
Sorry you lost me there. You mean they were booing after they'd left? Look, it's none of your business to tell people what to think or what to do. Simple as that. You have an opinion. As it happens I would very rarely leave early from a game unless it was away at Rotherham or somewhere and I didn't fancy running the gauntlet to the car. But that's not the point. People can do what they want with their money and you have no right to tell them otherwise so just leave it alone and have a Sunday afternoon siesta.

Weren't people leaving early to get to the front of the queue for Mansfield tickets? If so it's totally understandable and their choice. To the person saying 4k at home is better than 5k if they're gonna leave early, that is just idiotic, the revenue alone is invaluable to the club. I heard no booing, some people are only happy when moaning.

I think all of two people booed for a second then stopped because they realised nobody else was joining them,most people around me including myself clapped the players off the field accepting we'd lost to the better team on the day. The mental image of fans walking out then when the final whistle blows running back inside to boo is funny though.

Perhaps they got home and 'boo'd' on Twitter ??

| The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football' |

Ive always been amused by the leave early brigade. But yesterday, for probably only my second time in 30 years of supporting Town, I found myself joining them! On reflection its because I could see it was a lost cause once the second goal went in. To be honest I wish I can approach a game like ginnywings:
"I stayed and clapped off the players from both sides as i enjoyed the game despite the result".
Ive always been about the results, the points, but wish sometimes I can just appreciate a good game of football, or a good performance, even if its by the opposition. Yesterday I suppose I got too emotonally involved, expected too much, was greedy for the points and had a little paddy (But I didnt boo, in fact I didnt hear any boo's).

Don't get me wrong heppy, i was p*ssed off we lost and have had plenty of rants and moans over the last ten years at some of the dreadful happenings on the pitch, but i am determined to just enjoy the season after years in the wilderness and accept what comes. As long as we are in no danger of relegation, i'm going to enjoy the far better standard of football on show, even if it's from the opposition. There is a noticeable change this season i think as it's easier to accept defeat from a better side than it is from 11 massive plumbers and welders, whose sole purpose is to frustrate and win with gamesmanship and limited ability.

Dont in anyway take my post as a dig ginny, I genuinly do wish that sometimes I can just appreciate the football, than just hanker after the points. Yesterday at various points in the game I had my head in my hands, slapped my knees, tutted and exclaimed. The only thing I didnt do was get on my back and wave my hands and feet in the air whilst screaming. To be honest it was more out of dissapointment, as I had managed to kajole a few non regulars to come along, after convincing them of the virtues of Towns recent positive performances.
