Were Irish fans right to "boo" last night?

**L37Ultra** · 18/10/2007, 9:48 AM

I know they werent "booing" the team but do you think the Irish fans were right to boo after last nights match? Ireland fans are world famous for getting behind their team no matter what the situation or who they are playing. I just thought it was an all time low last night to hear Irish fans booing. What do you think?

100% right to boo in my opinion.

The whole thing about Ireland fans getting behind their team no matter what
the situation or who they are playing just shows that Ireland is famous for
having some fans who are willing to put up with a substandard setup just so
people will think that they're great.

They were totally right too boo last night. It was a pathetic performance from the lads and the point was made that those fans play lots of money to turn up.

I was actually annoyed with the Irish fans for cheering when Finnan equalised.

Dead right. How else are they going to let the FAI know their displeasure. All this talk of "not being a real fan" because you boo or walk out is stupidity and snobbery of the highest order.

The whole thing is a shambles. We can't just sit there with a smile on our face because we've a reputation of being great fans.

Agree with Booing at the end of the match but not during or before.
And booing Delaney not the team.

But if people who paid �50 - �70 for match tickets want to boo to show their dissatisfaction with the team and Management they are perfectly entitled to, it is the only platform they have to voice their feelings on the matter.

changing my tune a little from before, but in this case, dead right to boo. 100% right. I agree with Frank, i was annoyed at people celebrating our goal. I was disappointed when we scored. We didnt deserve it

**Dirk Diggler** · 18/10/2007, 10:13 AM

I was disappointed aswell, as if we had lost then it might have speeded up the departure of Delaney aswell as Staunton

**onenilgameover** · 18/10/2007, 10:24 AM

Oh hell yes!!!!

**markmc** · 18/10/2007, 10:28 AM

i cheered when cyprus scored, i was called a traitor. the traitors are the ones that support staunton/delaney

**Dotsy** · 18/10/2007, 10:32 AM

Last night was an all time low for the team and the FAI. The fans didn't contribute to that.

We were left with no option. I am not sure the FAI or Stan will take any notice of it but we have a right to make our feelings known especially when the the FAI are spinning that the majority of fans are behind them, the manager and this four year plan tripe.

**Green Tribe** · 18/10/2007, 10:35 AM

there'll be no changes, delaney and staunton will stay

**markmc** · 18/10/2007, 10:35 AM

the tickets for these games are not cheap, we are being cheated by these bunch of clowns, we should all wear black to the next game.

**Dr. Ogba** · 18/10/2007, 10:44 AM

i don't know..."where" were they booing?

**razorb** · 18/10/2007, 11:00 AM

lads its a long time since i heard and participated in booing like last night. Remember the glorious last day of Eoin Hand in Lansdowne against the Mighty Norway! Bring Jack Back

Agree with not booing during the match but the team deserved the booing after as much as anyone, they were the ones who put in such a bad performance.

**Ireland4ever** · 18/10/2007, 12:05 PM

I didnt boo and i dont think its right BUT i can understand why fans booed at the end. But i thought it was an all time low when the 'fans' were booing when ireland were attacking trying to get the goal. It makes no sense.

Plus those knacker kids in the corner started booing at one stage, then they stopped and no more than 15 seconds later started chanting Stand Up For The Boys In Green.....Doesnt make any sense.

**citizenerased** · 18/10/2007, 12:17 PM

i agree I4E, those kids were wrecking my head, starting up with that mexican wave...didnt boo myself, although i wouldnt blame anyone for doing it...

I cheered the goal, and I didn't do a lot of booing (was speechless after the Cyprus goal, in spite of having seen it coming), but I don't blame those who did. I felt sorry for the Cypriots. They deserved 3 points.

Agree 100%.

Also, cheering the goal of another nation? Not on, no matter how much you want rid of management!
