Re: Boo Boys.

No, it was the other way round - Ghaly threw his shirt to the floor because he was beeing booed by his own fans for misplacing passes. And this is a guy who got his fudging teeth kicked out and still came back onto the pitch to play for his team. That's why I've always been absolutely fine with him throwing his shirt down - totally understandable. It's those ****ish fans whose behaviour was unacceptable.

Very well put - agree with every word

Ahh I see, tbh I don't really know much about the incident so was just wondering. When you talk about players getting booed, another one that springs to mind is Jenas. A few times now I've been at the ground and he's made his first appearance for a while, and he's got a little chorus of boos when his name has been read out before the game. How does that give confidence to a player? Also, he gets extremely exaggerated reactions when he misplaces a pass.

I comented on the part that the booing came first, not the shirt throwing (which was the original 'query')

The shirt throwing is unaccaptable in my view and a separate debate alltogether

Agreed. I am no massive fan of the fella but the Jenas-hate on here & at the Lane borders on the ridiculous.

So you are retracting your original response of

Very well put - agree with every word

After eltrev had written

That's why I've always been absolutely fine with him throwing his shirt down

Make your mind up.

Re: Boo Boys.

I always get reminded of the day Chris Armstrong scored two against Southampton when we beat them 7-2 at the Lane. Up until that point he was subjected to some horrific abuse. As the second went in the crowd went wild and he just tuned around and walked back to the centre circle with hardly a celebration. Spurs fans fickle? not us!

The original response was to the query of what came first

- Ghaly throwing his shirt and beeing booed for it
- Ghaly throwing his shirt for beeing booed

Eltrev explained the correct (imv) timeline of events - to which I expressed my agreement

I don't agree with the fact the threw his shirt - I agree with eltrev's timeline of events

You should have entered the Olympic backtracking event.

Eltrev said Ghaly throwing his shirt down was acceptable & you replied that you agreed with 'every word'.

Only later did you change your mind. Its in black & white.

Re: Boo Boys.

I can only suspect you're not actually reading my replies and have simply picked a point onto which you can build an 'argument'

He actually said throwing his shirt was 'understandable' not 'acceptable' - i.e. he understands why Ghaly threw his shirt - and so do I.

I stand by my comment

 

[Park Lane James]

Re: Boo Boys.

But elltrev said "That's why I've always been absolutely fine with him throwing his shirt down"

So you agreed with that, but feel his shirt-throwing was "unacceptable"

Make your mind up?

Re: Boo Boys.

I have never and would never boo a single player or the team.

I'm not going to preach to people who feel the need to express themselves in that way, but what really fudges me off is when people say they booed because of the team 'not giving a brick' or 'not trying hard enough'.

Individual players on occasion, sure, that might be the case. However to say our whole team couldn't be arsed is disrespectful to them as sportsmen. I don't give a brick if they earn 50p or 50 grand, they WANT to win. A combination of adapting to a new system and quite frankly, a Norwich team that played very well were the contributing factors to our performance in my opinion.

We all have our opinions on whether Thudd could have jumped for the header before the goal, or if player x could have avoided that misplaced pass. But no-one actually knows what was going through the players' mind at that point. I'd hazard a guess that anyone that plays or has played football regularly may agree with this.

Re: Boo Boys.

I don't buy it

People leave early because they feel (for whatever reason) that they have to

Most don't leave just because we are brick. That's a bull brick excuse

"I left early because I'm pussy whipped and my other half will kill me"....now that's a reason to leave
early

"Public transport in Tottenham is brick"

That's a reason

99% of fans that leave early are pussy whipped and don't like queuing for trains

Lets not pretend its because they're registering their right to protest!

mine is purely if we are playing brick dude. I have never been pussy whipped and will not be, plus the fact me and my mrs split up a few weeks back anyway so I can stay as long or leave as early as I like and I have no kids.

I left on Saturday because we were awful and I could not stand watching any more of our brick, my brother was driving so I just left him there and went to Mcdonalds to fuel my depression from what I just saw. it was nothing to do with getting home any earlier.

Re: Boo Boys.

Yep, it's a mystery. These ****s probably don't get any pleasure in their lives though - never get a chance to smell the roses, stare at the stars or take their missus out for a romantic meal. They're just ****s who are happy trudging along in life and being miserable about everything!

so you are basically calling me a cnut?

Just admit that you said you said you agreed with 'every word' of eltrev's post (which included the fact that he said Ghaly throwing the shirt down was acceptable) & then subsequently backtracked.

Its in black & white. So in fact i am reading your replies in the timeline they were posted whilst you are going in for a bit of revisionism.

He also said it's 'understanble' but you've chosen not to quote that part.

As I've already explained in my subseqent replies:

I agreed with his explanation of events - and the fact he felt Ghaly's actions were understandable following the abuse he got from numerous fans. I don't agree with the shirt throwing but I understand why he did it

Re: Boo Boys.

Someone who'll turn up on time, soberish and support the team for ninety minutes-not sixty five. You get bed blockers in hospitals and seat blockers at WHL, those who want the whole getting tinkled with your mates and singing matchday experience without having to bother with the triviality of watching more than two thirds of the match.

And for those who say they pay their money, make their choice and can come and go as they please yet slate booers sort yourself out and get some consistency. I've had more games ruined for me by jack in the boxes who spend half the game in and out of their seat to and from the bog and bar than I have by someone occasionally voicing their displeasure.

never once said ive slated booers. In fact I want to boo I just dont do it as I think its wrong but anyone can boo if they want to. As said before bollox to each and everyone of you, I will continue to leave when I like, and stay as long as I like. There is no rule to when you have to leave and I say who the fcuk are you to say when I stay til.

"Norwich, who won 2-1 at White Hart Lane last season, were helped in part by the home fans' decision to boo their team off at half-time, according to Johnson.

"It's always a bonus for the away team when the home fans don't get behind their team," Johnson added.

"We knew that if we got in their faces then we would get them under pressure and we did that. We have come here twice recently and got two good results."



Well done, lads. Well done. Carry on booing, see how much good it does.

Re: Boo Boys.

Well, do you go to matches and slate the team for the whole time, not bring any positivity into the air, and leave early under a cloud of swear words? Those sorts of people are ****s - no-one would want to be their friend or socialise with them if they have such an outlook on life.
