I said anyone who boos their own team is an idiot.

Happy to clear up your delusion.

That's alot of idiots at Odsal then because they were a hell of a lot of people booing tonight.

Indeed there are.

According to some posters on other threads it would be 8400.......maybe not! 4000 Bulls stampeded at half time! 4000 Bulls not moowing but booooooooooing!

"Moowing"?????

Sorry. Poetic licence. Joking apart, credit to the true fans that turned up and stayed till then end. Must have been a bit of a sickner. Don't know of any consolation you can take from this game.

On the now-locked thread, an accusation:


was made which - since its in the public domain - I'd like to answer. Then I will refer to it no more.

As I said, I do not recognise that as a quote from me. What I DO recognise is these exchanges, from just before the Leeds match on a thread suggesting we should actually get behind the team:









The "debate" continued, but I won't bore people with the details (check out the thread if you can;t sleep) since apart from some limited backsliding from ME, little of worth was added.

Then, we had, post-match:







Now: I presume this is the exchange where I allegedly said "99% of Bradford fans did not boo as it would be unacceptable" or words to that effect?

If so, I would suggest that - once again - ME has twisted and corrupted what was actually said, and used it out of context. In particular, you will see that the discussion was specifically about the coach being booed when he came out, and my "99%" was clearly referring to the fact that when he DID come out and when his face WAS shown on the big screen you heard little if any booing.

So, ME, I state that your allegation was untruthful.

But I leave the readers to judge for themselves.

Meh, I laughed at how pathetic we were during the game. Then became sickened by it as I ate half a chicken in Nandos after the game.

Try as I might, neither can I.

My consolation is that I didn't go in the first place... and alcohol.

Everybody has a right to boo and it doesn't make you an idiot even if you do so choose to. People are expected to cheer good play and effort so there should be no eyebrows raised or foul looks passed when people choose to boo poor play and lack of effort.

Everybody does have. Same way as you might if you went to a rubbish concert or play or whatever.

Is it likely to improve the team's performance during a game though if you boo them while they are playing? I think that may be what the (maybe a bit strong) reference to "idiots" refers to? "Bobsmyuncle", in what I thought was a balanced and reasoned post on another thread, said "I did not Boo my club's players and did not leave before the end as IMO that would be counterproductive." Sounds reasonable to me.

WE beat you last week.

I wasnt booing tonight.. I was cheering.. best game i have seen in almost a month

Who know's, it might? It depends what sort of character one may have. Personally I would take booing as criticism and dissaproval and if I was criticised either privatley or publically it would more than likley give me the incentive to improve myself. They way I see it is as I have explained previously good play will be cheered, poor play will be jeered. I'd like to make it clear though that booing from me personally does not come instantly to poor play though, but more as a build up of frustration at continued poor play. I think that's reasonable for any supporter in my eyes.

Anybody that didn't boo that lot knows sod all about rugby

theres a similar thread on our board, as Hull also got loudly booed off this evening

whilst the scoreline may suggest we are overreacting, the standard of rugby was atrocious and i can't believe the sheep (admittedly very few) who were clapping the team off

Hull and Bradford are very similar at the moment, clueless coaches, no decent scrum half, slow and error prone, and a large part of the fanbase that has had enough of shelling out for dross.

i'm feeling really down about my club at the minute, so god knows how bad you lot feel!

Anybody who didn't boo that lot is a true fan.

Rubbish, the true fan is the one that deep in their heart always wants their club to do well. What you do at a game has no bearing whatsoever on whether you are a true fan or not.

exactly, the fact you've attended the game in the first place shows that you care IMO

you obviously didn't see that pile of Sh?te.

Did I, yes i was there until the end unlike some who left after 20minutes

I do agree, but I also realise that for some people there are often reasons that they may not be able to not attend. This in my books makes them no less of a fan than the person who did attend.

Well said. I clapped the team off with our lass as my my mum, brother and dad booed the team off. You have every right to react however you want to at a match as you do it without thinking about it if you are a real fan. You have absolutely no control over it if you really care.

Apparently Stevie Wonder saw no reason to boo the Bulls tonight.

I like your posts, but now is not the time
