At full time was shameful and embarrassing.
Most of you don't know me from Adam; I'm just a regular Dad who takes my young Son home and away.
We have seen some great performances, some mediocre ones and some poor ones too.
Today was not great defensively and we were as disappointed as anyone to see us concede 3 further goals after being 3-2 up.
However, this does not excuse some of the vitriolic behaviour that we witnessed today.
We sat just above the tunnel and as the players came off the pitch, there were hundreds of fans booing, effing and jeffing at the players, dropping the C-bomb, and using the various finger gestures...even at McKenna.
He came over to appreciate the fans for their support and after witnessing the above, he soon disappeared up the tunnel.
Dara O'Shea came off the pitch holding his hands up in a 'sorry' style manner - he got nothing but heaps and heaps of abuse. I know he didn't have his best game, but I'm not sure if this is the best way to give him encouragement...
I understand that it's a passionate game and we as a fan base, were disappointed about the manner of defeat but for goodness sake, this type of reaction has to stop.
Get behind the boys, like the song says "follow the Town, up or down"

Nope, not even Leon Best anywhere... |
We've had some tossers play for us but I can't remember slinging vitriol even at Paul Taylor :)
Moaned and groaned plenty of times at players being crap but never yelled abuse when we can the whites of each others' eyes. I'm assuming people who do it are off their tits pissed or whatever, and/or have anger management problems. Maybe football is a release valve. It shouldn't be used thus. It's fooking pathetic, counterproductive, inconsiderate and out of order. |  |

what should they have done?
clapped them off?
personally i walked out when the 5th went in, couldnt take it anymore |
"what should they have done?"
Do a moony?
Not yell at the players and manager when you can see the whites of their eyes, jabbing fingers and telling them to fook off would be a start ffs. Its fooking pathetic, and totally counterproductive. Spoiled, weird, inconsiderate and cowardly behaviour. Bet yer ass none of these clowns would do it face to face.
None of this makes it any less so that some of our players were utter sh1te of course :) | |

Not that.
I don’t do away games these days but I used to and saw more disappointing and humiliating matches than you could count. I never did that. Or at home either. I was there when on two occasions against oddly Sheffield W the players gave up. Threw in the towel. We re outraged. Unacceptable. On one occasion we walked out before the pitch invasion.
On the others, including the Norwich 5-1, we stayed to the end and didn’t applaud, didn’t moan about it, but walked out and raged at radio Suffolk. Abusing players is a cowards way out. Try it to somebody’s face - but book a meat wagon to A&E first is my advice. Counter productive and weak. No guts. No balls. Pathetic.
If you can’t tolerate bad days you’ll never appreciate good days. It’s sport but the principle applies to real life too. If you can’t understand what that is, take up crochet, FM25 with a milky drink or something. |
All of that.
I left on about 80, that 1-5 Jewell orchestrated fiasco. Biut likewise, no booing or abuse. Pathetic and weird. | |

It was a 15 hour day on Saturday costing a lot of money, time an effort. If we get beat by the better team on the day no qualms, i will clap them off the pitch and on to the next one. But if they allow themselves to be bullied and get out fought like they have at Oxford, Sheffield United, Boro and Saturday then some of us are gonna let them know by either leaving before they approach the away end or give them some stick when they do. Passions take over when you can see players pulling out of challenges, hiding or standing off players. O'Shea was terrified of Moore on Saturday and did everything he could to not engage with him and it cost us 3 goals. All 5 goals were gifted to them and sometimes you have to point out when its unacceptable. |  | | |

If the team play badly I simply leave on the final whistle. Booing, Standing and shouting abuse would be counter productive in my view.
Whilst I doff my cap at your 15 hour day and your time and money invested to acquire the loyalty points to be able to purchase away tickets I would however hasten to add that there are many that would gladly take your place in your closed shop and maybe NOT "gonna let them know" by "giving them stick" |  | | |

There's been hundreds of Saturdays like that in the past and there'll be hundreds in the future. That's the whole deal with being an away going fan. We turf up to support the team and anything can happen. Otherwise wouldn't be much point going to support them..it was very disappointing and frustrating but it doesn't even get anywhere near a 'total disgrace' and 'bullied' type game. Wrexham played better. Not even a dreadful performance. Individual mistakes and poor game management. That's all.
If we had a Posh 7-1 affair now half of our support would just spontaneously combust. [Post edited 23 Feb 22:33]

There are so many results I can think of in the past 40 years that wouldve caused a nuclear reaction if they happened now.
Sheffield Weds feature highly
Peterboro do too
A couple of thrashings from the budgies, in one season.
A 2-0 home defeat by Stockport on a Tuesday night.
Being tonked by QPR and Wimbledon at home.
All utter utter low points, but our amazing lads think that losing 5-3 away to a team in the play offs is worthy of a meltdown way beyond anything Ive just mentioned.
Expectation, Entitlement, Modern Thinking, maybe all that, but its making this season fooking miserable for the normal ones amongst us. |  | | |

That’s your choice,I think I’d have walked out after the 5th goal or if I’d stayed just shook my head at the end and said to myself ffs! |  |

The bloke beside me spent the first 10-15 mins of the game moaning about Hirst.... knew we were in for a long game at that point. He then went on all game and was foul at the end. So foul I took a couple of sneaky pics and was going to report him to the club. But then I realised he technically wasn't doing anything wrong.
We then had to put up with the woman on the coach (don't come at me, I cannot drive and this is often my only option!) Who went on the whole way home, loudly, how her weekend was ruined as broady celebrated his goal. She swore after every other word and went on and on about it. How she was furious, disgusted, ashamed about it.
Then there is the man that gets on at Bury. I don't think he has ever said an good word about the town or the game hes watched. He moaned and moaned the whole way home... loudly.... with the furious woman. The man is awful and he makes sure the whole coach hears his opinion. He then was incredibly rude to the stewards both to her face and behind her back, what a charming man.
I get it, people travel, they choose to go, they spend their money, they are entitled to an opinion. Never booed a player or screamed abuse at them. I go to football because i enjoy it and look at it as a good day out with my family, if we lose, we lose, my life goes on. what gets me is when they are old enough to be the players parents and they scream abuse, tell them to F off etc. Imagine if that was your son out there.
I remember how toxic PR became during the roy/mick/Paul days. Guys we're in a PO position, we lost a game, it is ok. | | | |

Yep! Wednesday at home after Jewell went was one of the most abject performances.
You're spot on. Behaviour of our support so depressing this season.
The bandwagon jumpers giving themselves away when ranting and saying that Wrexham was an utter disgrace etc. | | | |

Mine was a 14 hour day on Saturday. Indeed, given I live in Kent and go to virtually every home and away game, my day is rarely less than 10 hours.
As it is, I left just as the final whistle went in order to catch the 17.17 train but I have never in my life booed or abused the team or the manager after a game. And it is very rare that I have left a game early, maybe to catch a train if the game is running late but certainly not because we are losing however badly. [Post edited 24 Feb 7:50]
