Is booing players from your team ever acceptable?

[Felt]

Usually no, although I might be tempted if Marshy turns out for us one day.

Yep... every fans right to make their feelings known.

exactly.

You wouldn't go to the west end, and watch a **** musical and give them a round of applause after spending 100 pound on you and the wife to watch it, plus 30 pound train fares and a 80 pound meal.

At the end of the day it is a form of entertainment by professionals that are being paid a week what most of us earn in 2 years.

Sorry but if I was a player and 1 of my team mates wasn't performing, I'd want the fans to gee him up because as a leader - captain I'd be giving him a hard time. We are talking effort and there really is no excuse for the lack of it, and I have paid 30 quid to watch them so I am allowed to express an opinion.

I don't see the problem with it? "Gentleman's game", "it's not in the spirit of the team" etc.

How many people booed and hissed England players when they played against us last year at LR - but cheer them on when they are wearing an England shirt? i know i did when Walcott, Rooney, Lamps were on the ball against us and then when lining up for england. In England I'll cheer them on (not Terry/Cole)

Not all players shell away when they get booed. Some actually man up and come back playing better (Joey Barton V Liverpool and then the games that followed). sometimes they really need to know their individual performance isn't good enough. I'm at LR to encourage my team/players. If they're not playing well - what, I just sit there and say nothing? No.

We've had players turn out for us and be terrible. They need to be told. If playing against much better opposition I'll support them, but playing teams like MK at home and the performance we put out then was atrocious.

This is part of the problem nowadays - "everyone's a winner" culture. No, everyone isn't a winner. Not everyone needs to be supported with a "oh, but you tried, oh but you did so well, oh but at least you gave it your best". Sometimes, they don't. Some need to be told they are not good enough and I will continue to do so.

Nearly 48% of people think it's ok too boo one of your own?! My days. That's wrong.

[QprSinceBirth]

Like I said BOOING one player affects all the other players.

[Johnnykc]

Yep... every fans right to make their feelings known.

Woah there V.........what happened to all that 'supporters support' shite you used to aim at people?

It is NOT acceptable to boo your own players......be f***ing livid about them privately but when they're in the hoops...back them

[Westway]

I once booed Steve Morrow so hard that when he looked up into the upper Loft I'm sure I saw a tear in his eye. Made me feel bad, but he was so bad.

[kron-1664]

if they don't put in any effort or are really poor then yes. otherwise no

[QPR71]

cant vote because I wouldn't go as far as of course but would not say never.....

like others have said, it's damaging to morale and performance and the oppo love it.

in extreme circumstances like a player obviously not trying over a period of time to the detriment of the club
the fans should let their feelings be known

[Marshy]

No one can seriously say they never booed Zesh Rehman!

[WavyQPR]

29 years since my first game..never ever booed a player..until bosingwa came along..best performance that **** put in at loftus road was in a chelshit shirt when he got sent off....

[BronxQPR]

ive been tempted especially last season but ive never boo QPR FC but ive walked out when not happy!!

[jfish]

After the game if you feel the need to.

During the game has no benefits whatsoever and will only encourage the team we're playing.

[qpr4life]

Booing never really helped IMO
