Not encouraging it, but every club in this world has done the same. Their own player? For the heinous crime of not being good enough? I honestly can't think of a single set of fans who have booed a player who hasn't done something stupid or egregious beforeheand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I'd have kept him until the summer at least when we could get a proper defensive / deep lying player in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just off the top of my head...Something a lot worse than booing Booooo Gareth Bale's future at Real Madrid was thrown into more doubt after his white Bentley was attacked by abusive supporters.

LondonLax Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Are we trying to justify booing our own players by saying "Well some other teams do it too!!"? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, Real Madrid fans who are world famous for being primadonnas. I stand corrected, there have been other fans, but it doesn't make it any less embarrassing. We're in an elite group of fans who booed their own players for not being good enough. Like I said, embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meregreen Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Blaming the fans for your own shit performances is a poor excuse. Actually heard very very little booing, a few groans when his name was called out , but not much else. Villa fans by and large don't go in for that. Wonder what his excuse will be when he doesn't measure up for Burnley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "best fans in the world" at anfield used to get right on to Lucas. He's been booed onto the pitch, too. Its monumentally daft, but from time to time it happens everywhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The 26-year-old midfielder admitted that stick from some sections of the claret and blue faithful did start to take its toll on him." http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/burnleys-ashley-westwood-how-aston-12583649 What about those who have booed managers and given them stick? You should go back and read some of the stuff you posted about Sherwood. Can we get rid of them as well? Or is it just the ones who didn't like Westwood that we need rid of. So laughably hypocritical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Starting today playing against Chelsea. He will probably get the winner from a 20 yard screamer the way its going for us nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa fans by and large don't go in for that. I'm sorry but this is completely untrue. He was booed when his name was read on; when his name was announced as a sub. One prominent time was the Cardiff game when we were 2-1 up! Booing your own player coming onto the pitch. 2-1 up at home! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he's just failed to track Pedro's run through the middle and Burnley are 1-0 down already, still lots of time for the screamer though.

Zatman Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 twice in first 10 minutes now he has gone missing that Chelsea have strolled through midfield, one was a goal and now a Lowton yellow card keeps this up he probably wont make it to half time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
