nethertonwellfan Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Why can't our fans be paitent? Ever! Historically we are a very hard bunch to please. During Tommy McLean's time - after we won the cup - we booed and shouted for his head. The bigger picture has proven this booing to be stupid We even booed the team during McGhee's 1st season. Why do we do this? It doesn't provide any positivity to the team and we as supporters should SUPPORT the team. So come on lads, I too feel your pain. I too will be in a bad mood until at least Wednesday. I too have concerns about Gannon's tactical decisions. Where I differ is that I fail to see how booing has or will have a positive effect on the team. Mon the Well ! Mon Jim Gannon ! POSITIVITY for the future.

You are barking up the wrong tree Netherton well fan. I agree with you, but we are a most unforgiving lot. We take the piss out of the Gers fans for deserting Ibrox - but at 3-1 down we still had 20 minutes left and there was a mass exodus. Way to support the team......... Perhaps the fans have the team they deserve?????????? 4100 for a Boxing Day match - pathetic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well73 Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 4100 for today was pathetic and maybe a sign of the times? Weather may have been a good excuse for some as well but it's not a good turn out at all. Where do all the other fans go? Shopping today for two of my mates but no excuse in my book (fannies!) but then maybe they got a nice jummper today for £22 and I just got cold and watched crap. Whos the mug? Oh how the european games seem a distant memory now..... Mon the Well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 What is the bigger picture though? We are going backwards at the moment. On the back of a 6-1 spanking, such a heartless performance deserved to be booed at full time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyB Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 I'm sorry but I disagree. I'm not saying the boos were justified, and I've never booed myself, but I believe that if people want to boo on the back of 2 shite performances and 2 shite results, they're within their rights to do so. You say "what good does it do?", surely it gets the message across to the players & management that the fans see the effort & performance as unacceptable? What good does standing up in silence at the full time whistle and going home do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took Sir Alex 5 years and gannon is 6 months in to the job and people are shouting for his head. What is wrong with a bit of patience for a change ?

Desp Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Defeats mean that fans are going to be unhappy. Do you think if we played 1980's Wimbledon long ball stuff but we were winning most weeks, people would be complaining? Of course not. Do we have the players to play this "style"? Look at John Hughes. With Falkirk, he got plaudits for his passing football, but still ended up in a relegation battle. But now with Hibs and a better standard of player, he's getting better results. I think we just need to grind out a couple of wins. Put some fucking tackles in, a few bookings, take a 1-0 win. That'll do me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Why the fuck aren't people allowed to boo? I wasn't there today but from the opinions I've had in the game i'd've been booing like fuck! "iooh I only cheer, I don't boo cod I'm a superfan." Get tae fuck. We've been posh for a while. Unable to beat teams with less players and taking a spanking or two. It's not good enough. BOOOOOOOOO FUCKIN BOOOOOOOO! Fuck off. They deserve to know they are shite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned the other day, while I would love to see Gannon's philosophy in football come to fruition, this is unlikely to ever materialise as Gannon will either move elsewhere or we will get embroiled in a relegation battle. Furthermore, given his post match comments tonight, how can he get everyone to believe in his style of play when he comes out and slates the players after the game? If he is interested in the long term, he should be protecting the players; not saying they are incapable of keeping a clean sheet against anyone.

I agree with it 100% but i still beleive in him. I just think he is a bit naive but that is what life is about. When wee Tommy was our gaffer he made decisions that were equally as baffling. The fams booed we won the cup the fans booed agian and we finished third. I hope Gannon doesn't waiver from his philosophy due to the fans because through the years they have proven to be more clueless than Malpas and some of our fans deserve a First division team.

Desp Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 I agree but booing the team will guarantee no wins at all.. Of course it doesn't. Neither will cheering and singing for 90 mins. If Gannon puts out a team with the instruction of playing in a style that the team is incapable of, then we'll get humped. Every other SPL team has found out how we play, Gannon needs a new approach. And quickly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numpty Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 surely it gets the message across to the players & management that the fans see the effort & performance as unacceptable?

Yabba's Turd Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 I'll boo at full time, as Busta says they deserve to know we think they've been shite too. Would never boo an individual though. But I've booed the team plenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyRoss Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 What exactly is this bigger picture you speak of? I cannot for the life of me work out why Gannon keeps messing around with the team and making these 'bold' changes week in week out. Who did he hook at half time on the first day of the season? Yet he was the man to come in and shore up the defence today??? Makes no sense. I don't blame the people who left early. Probably had better things to do than watching a heartless Motherwell display in the freezing cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellAyrshire Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 I'm thinking the bigger picture could be seeing how good we can be and how shite we can be. Take the natural variance between highs and lows and go on from that. Our Jim was an accountant so he must be plotting a mad graph! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
