It's not the players fault they're paid so much, the club offers it to them, they're hardly going to turn it down, the problem is that as people have said it doesn't make them better players, I can understand in special situations that you would boo players but when your team is top of the league even after losing 3 games straight does that constitute the players being booed, like feck does it, the performance only looks bad for Watford cause we've come down from the Premier League, no one understands that the team is pretty much the same team that nearly got relegated before Boothroyd took over and that we got promoted too early, same with Derby, why should the players get booed, they over achieved the year before to only be booed because they weren't ready for the Premiership.

You are entitled to boo me though for my bad use of paragraphs etc

The emotion is the whole point. It's the emotional attachment to and investment in a club that takes the entertainment to a different level than merely watching a nice passage of play.

ours are perfect.

well, apart from the murderers, ones who p*ss on their dead mates, steal tickets from kids, throw poo a mancs, blow up ambulances with alan smith in, eat dead babies etc...

And as I said emotional attachment is a rubbish excuse.
It is something indoctrinated into us as a sort of pack mentality and our need for a sense of belonging.

In regards to the going to the game side of things, I understand you're use of the whole event as a means to see friends, catch up etc, but I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about the football alone, if you're not watching it to be entertained then why are you there?

As a season ticket holder to QPR, paying over £20 a match, I feel that if I am not happy with the way the team is performing then I should be allowed to voice my displeasure. By the same token, I am also out of my seat shouting and screaming encouragement whenever we play well.

The whole "entertainment" thing and comparisons to cinema, shows, etc has only came about since the ticket prices went up so high. You can't compare. For most people it's not a choice, it's where they are from, you follow a club from childhood and you cant just switch that off if they're rubbish

Ventil

You can switch off go to the game though.
I'm not saying you should stop your support for the club, but you should think twice about spending money on something that you know you're not going to get a good return on.
Replace the words "club you support" for car (or anything else you spend money regularly on) and see if you would suffer the same level of service as you do from football?

Again though you’re comparing football to other things when it’s quite unique. ‘Just don’t go’ isn’t an option for a lot of fans.

I think your 'within your rights' to boo the players, but in the majority of cases it's going to be counter-prouductive. So why bother?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. so funny when you think about it. making a funny, child like noise to display anger.
