Booing

At full-time. Why?? It is a back-handed compliment to how well we've progressed in the past eighteen months? I'm not sure but the atmosphere and negativity was extraordinary from the Ealing Road terrace. We are not going to walk this division and a few need to realise this.
 

Booing

It was only sporadic, but it was a shame. In general the crowd was quite subdued today, even though there wasn't much to get excited about.
Thought it was a bit harsh, neither side really deserved more from the tie, and the crowd can hardly complain that the team doesn't perform to expectations if they don't either!
 

Booing

it was aimed at the ref. the ealing road applauded the players and scott off.

I didn't hear any booing at the final whistle.

The only booing I heard was during the game aimed at that **** Keigan Parker.

Well done pal - perhaps you can roll your eyes at the manager too, who commented in the press conference on the remarks from supporters today.
 

Booing

Yes, some very pointed comments from Scotty

"My concern today was that after the great performance last week - and we can't forget that was Southampton, who were in the Premier League not long ago - everyone would expect us to smash Oldham out of sight.

"That was never going to be the case, they are hard to beat.

"The players approached the game in the right way but we got a few grumbles and groans from the crowd, which was disappointing.

"We won the league by six points last year, we are unbeaten.

"People will make mistakes, I don't care.

"Our success is built on unity at the club, that's what we need to realise.

"The fans need to see how far we have come.

"The players give everything for the shirt, and that's good enough for me."

Good comments from Scotty as usual. What do people think? He or the players don't want to win?? We're unbeaten in the league for **** sake. Compare with two seasons ago! Of course we all wanted to win today but booing players (sorry referee??!!**) ain't going to do any good. :nono: YYYOOUUU BBBBBEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!:sorted:
 

Booing

I didn't hear any booing, if I had I'm sure I would have gone for the ref being the target. He turned it into the farce of a game Oldham wanted with his ten minutes of madness. Grant is a panto villain.:(
 

Booing

I think it is either an arrogance or an ignorance and a lack of understanding of how high and steep a mountain we have already climbed.

We have performed wonders to stay unbeaten so far but we are playing teams that are at worst (Oldham, Brighton) immeasurably tougher and better organised than the clubs we faced last season or far more talented (but troubled) in Saints and Norwich.

Every team we have played (except Brighton) could have beaten us and we could also have beaten all of them.

Just compare the tight bonded skillfull and organised unit we watch now to the shambles under Butcher.

I just wish some of our fans could understand this.

We will lose some and probably win far more this season and I am sure that the overwhelming majority of supporters will enjoy the highs and shrug off the lows.

Yep, agree 100%, would like to know how these young lads who haven't been beaten yet are able to know who the boos are aimed at the ref and not at them. However did this should hang their heads in shame. A couple of seasons ago that Oldham team would have done a smash and grab raid on us and gone away with all three points. This team is doing really well and not punching above their weight, a term often handed out to Brentford teams in the past. Keep it up lads !! :sorted:

I didn't hear booing but in the braemar I kept hearing someone chant 'rubbish' continually in the first half. I guess we have gained a few fans on the back of winning the title who all expect us to win easily every game, wish people would show more intelligence.
 

Booing

Why do some of our so called supporters do this? We all have an expectation to do well this season. 18 months ago we were all looking at conference football. Come the end of this season we may even make the championship. In Andy Scott we have a leader who will never allow a player to give less than 100%. As supporters we must also give nothing less than 100%. We must all stick together!
 

Booing

I did not hear any booing being aimed at the players amd without wishing to upset anyone on here, although I am sure it will, perhaps Andy Scott should not be so precous???
I have never booed one of our players and have travelled the length and breadth of the country supporting the team and I have no doubt that everyone appreciates what a fantastic job AS has done with the team however there is a little matter of entertainment and it has to be said that it was sadly lacking in recent games.
He has built a decent squad and perhaps raised expectations unrealisticly however the supporters pay their money and have a right to pass comment, I would sugghest that before passing comment on supporters he needs to check who had upset the crowd as I can assure you the players were clapped off the pitch from behind the goal.
 

Booing

I dont believe the boos were for the ref. (incidentally I dont think the ref was too bad, he tried to keep the game flowing, although he could have booked a couple of theirs.)

IMHO some people need a reality check. :nono: Look at the table now & then look up the table from a couple of seasons ago. (Helpful hint - you may need to look at a different table.)
 

Booing

I definitely didn't boo the players and didn't think that was what it was for. Surely aimed at the ref and that nasty little 17.
 

Booing

just a sign of the times, society and football....everyone seems to want and expect everything now, regardless, anyone booing the team, and I didn't hear this, is an absolute idiot.

I am just loving the fact we are in a proper football league again, and have a team more than capable of holding their own :sorted:

Nobody accused you of booing but it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

They weren't booing the ref, it wasn't a large number of people and you're right that they're entitled to do what they like; it just seems bizarre that it's happening when we haven't lost since god knows when and are matching sides that are a country mile better than the sh*te we've been up against for the last 2 years.

As for recent games, today apart, lacking in entertainment. :scratch: A matter of opinion I guess.
 

Booing

I don't understand where people get off shouting abuse at our own players - if they miss a sittter then an "oh f**k!" is expected - but to go on & then berate the player . . . what good does that do? Do you think he MEANT to miss?
 

Booing

The majority of the supporters behind the Ealing Road goal are very supportive of the team and aprecaite where we are now, compared to the last 18 - 24 months.

However, you will always get a small minority of people who want to moan. Whilst the result is not a bad one, and we are unbeaten in this league, it was not exciting too watch today at £20.00. I think that is where some of the frustration sets in, added by some bad referee in the second half.

I think next Saturday, it will be a tough game and we will find out how far we have really come in the last 18 months - however, we are better away than at home, and we cause a "shock" when we win at The Valley!. :cool:
 

Booing

I now sit in the paddock, very close to where Andy Scott stands and am frequently frustarted at the negativity of a few people in that section of the ground. Over the years, I have spent time in all four sides of the ground. My favourite spot for atmosphere was New Road, before the seating was put in. The Paddock, around the half way line is probably the most negative home area of the ground, and, unfortunately, that negativity is what Andy Scott hears.

It takes very little for certain individuals in the paddock to start having a pop at our players. In the first half of last season, Marcus Bean, unfairly, got loads of stick. Today, right from the off, a few people were moaning about everything that was not perfect.

I think Andy Scott is quite right to say what he does because some people need a reality check. I have believed for a while now that too many people watch Match of the Day and expect our players to able to replicate that level of football.

I know supporters make differing levels of noise, but if the noise you make is negative, why not keep quiet. I cannot fathom how some people fail to realise the negative impact of their moaning. At times, I might have been too supportive. For example, I refused to boo Leroy or Butcher because I don't believe in voicing negativity, which affects the team's permances. However, when you have a manager that is, undoubtedly, the best we've had since Coppell, why boo and jeer the players. It makes me so angry!!

Has anyone got any ideas about how to stamp this negativity out?

We could play this before kick-off?

I thought today we just couldnt finish. The first half was very scrapy in the midfield but the second half we had about 35 - 40 minutes on the ball. The final ball or the finish wernt up to scratch but that was just the day. We played amazing football at times. As per usual Andy Scott said the right words in the interview. The last few games the ref and the linesman (Braemar road side) have been shocking making indicissive line calls when the ball goes out and fouls that shouldn't be given. This is apparent to both sides but because we had so much of the ball second half oldham can count themselves lucky we didnt get more free kicks and cards (late tackles i.e. parker 17 on sam wood). Therefore the booing was appropriate during the match. At the end it was unneccessary as obviously the booing left contrasting views that it was at the ref or the game itself and has lead to andy scott not to impressed with the fans today. The players put 110% in today and on another day we could have won 3 maybe 4 - 1 but then because a small minority were booing at the end the players may have felt to put it bluntly cr*p. We are unbeaten and playing beautiful football for a team that has probably the hardest fixtures out the lot. We have won to norwich drawn with southampton and have charlton away next. These were all premiership sides and so were oldham in the early 90's. Huddersfiled away after charlton and then bristol rovers at home are all playing very good football at the minute and for a newly promoted team to be 6th in the table after 5 games is very impressive to say the least. We just need to keep playing well and we are going to be in the hat for promotion. Just as spectators we can give our most by resoecting the players and giving them our support. Only last week at southampton we showed this. lets carry on from southampton at charlton on saturday.

Anyone who booed today is a mug. Didn't hear it myself.
 

Booing

The vast majority of bees fans have lived through the rough times so can really appreciate the quality and potential of this team. You will I guess always experience the odd jockey like the fella beside me in Ealing Road today. Repeatedly calling everyone c**ts, despite being surrounded by young kids, and not a positive word to say throughout the match. Amidst any crowd of 6,000 you will get a few fools!

Not at our best today but we can and will play better, but I am loving watching proper football at last.
 

Booing

I wasnt at the game, but if there was booing, what a bunch of *****! This team deserves a lot better than that!
 

Booing

Just read AS comments, doesnt seem at all happy with the moans and groans which rightfully he should be dissapointed! As i have already said this current team doesnt deserve any booing! Which ever complete idiots felt the need to boo our team today shouldnt call themselves Brentford fans! If i was at the game today i would of had a word with anyone next to me who decided to boo. Reality check under Butcher we looked doomed for non league now we look like a comfortable team in league 1, people should have realistic expectations this season, mid table would be great anything more would need a bit of luck.
 

Booing

Well said LingfieldBee. It was a big disappointment at the end of the match when a few booed despite us being in there half for almost all of the second half. We played very well just couldn't capitalise.
 

Booing

In the main our support is excellent. You can never please everyone, I travel a 200mile round trip. I will never abuse or boo any of our players, and i will never leave a match till after the full time whistle regardless of how we played.
Supporting your football team means exactly that, when things are not going well is when the fans should come into their own.
 

Booing

Every one was frustrated because we know we can produce so much more plus the ref just let them push us around. Straight after they scored ealing road were singing to get behind the boys so I think the comments about the Ealing road support are abit over the top to be honest. I know everyone in the crowd wanted to see bean come on we needed that spark in mid field.

Still unbeaten and we have a good squad how long untill Charlie is back?
 

Booing

I even had a moaner in front of me at Southampton fergodsake. He started when Dickson crossed straight to their keeper and didn't stop till the final whistle. A polite tap on the shoulder got me some quite angry abuse too. Some people seem to prefer wallowing in misery to being optimistic - less chance of disappointment.

He didn't actually boo, but if everyone had made the same noises as him the effect would have been the same as booing.
 

Booing

There was a classic old feller in the Braemar who was giving most of our chaps 1950s-style abuse; ain't nothing new under the sun.
The boos were for the ref weren't they? He didn't have the best of games - but there certainly was a lot of noise heading Carl Cort's way which is daft.
 

Booing

I hope the Booing was for the ref, not the Bees,:( how the f*** are the players supposed to know that, down on the pitch. These guys have tried their upmost best on the pitch, unbeaten in a division with some BIG teams and we are 6th. They hear Boos after a hard fought match, what are they to think? Yes fans have a right to their views but if the booing was for the ref then surley they should be calling the ref a w**ker not booing. Maybe these few so-called fans should be out there playing week in week out if they think they are worthy of giving the players Boooos. 2 years ago I would warrant it, not today. Onwards and upwards for the Bees, keep the good worrk up, well done!! :)
 

Booing

I think anyone who was a regular throughout the 2006/07 and 2007/08 seasons would be delighted at our current situation; I fear those who jumped on the bandwagon last season, along with a few regular whingers, may have had something to do with the booing, if it was indeed aimed at the players.

If I had booed yesterday, it would have been only for that **** Hegley, who I have grown to detest more and more every time I see the ugly, little, ginger *****. :mad1:
 

Booing

.............heard no booing in the Ealing Road.....................
 

Booing

I was in Ealing Road behind the goal. AT final whistle the players got a decent round of applause which continued for a period of time. Then, as referee and his assistants went to leave the pitch there was some booing aimed in his direction. I didn't hear anything aimed at the players and most were headed well off the pitch by the time referee was booed.

For whoever said he thought the referee tried to help the game flow yesterday earlier in this thread I have to say I couldndn't disagree more. Completely inconsistent, blowing up for some petty fouls and then letting far more cynical offences go unpunished. The late push on Kabba in the box would have been given as a foul anywhere else on the pitch and how Parker didn't get booked or sent off for a variety of offences I will never know.

The only groans and moans I heard were when passes went astray in dangerous areas etc - and these are the inevitable moans that happen when 4000 fans sigh or swear under their breath at the same time. Cort seemed to get more moans than most, but he simply doesn't look like he wants to shoot so is too often making the wrong decision in laying the ball of instead of taking a chance himself. It might be a confidence thing and hopefully it will come in time.
 

Booing

I didn't hear any, bit silly if there was some directed at our lot. We are unbeaten FFS!! Playing some tidy football, we are not going to set the world alight every week.

Bit dissapointed with the crowd numbers yesterday though, guess loads away for the weekend.
 

Booing

There was a message read out on the Football League show, directed to Andy Scott and his players, saying about the booing being for the referee and not the Brentford players
 

Booing

I think it is time we took a bit of a reality check on things.
We have a team playing some good football, with confidence, pace and skill. Unbeaten in the league despite playing two sides we could have only dreamed of competing with two seasons ago.
We have energy, invention and youth, but with the last of those three comes inexperience.
Scott summed it up when he said he doesn't mind his players making mistakes as long as they are honest and the players learn from them.
As a player that approach is very liberating.
To clear things up I think he was referring tio moans and grumbles from fans when passes went astray rather than the booing at the end.
The booing at the end, I felt, was fairly carefully timed by the fans to be directed at a referee who has a history of bizarre decision making behind him.
Grant Hegley is, once again in my opinion, a joke who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near professional footballers...I wouldn't want him reffing my under 15s side.
He is inconsistent and only the discipline of both sides prevented a serious injury yesterday...how no one was booked is amazing.
Mark, the fans were booing him and him alone I can assure you, but yes, we do still have a problem with whingeing gits who expect clinical (boring) Premiership passing at Griffin Park every week.
If they want that shey should go to Chelsea and be bored witless each game.
 

Booing

I was in the Ealing road terrace yesterday, Inever heard any booing, Plenty of negative
comments directed at that ginger f**kwit i think most would agree hes a twerp.
the only criticism i heard of any player was of carl cort and he did have a poor second half. it is just a 3 month loan isnt it? We could really do with charlie back it seems such a long recovery period
 

Booing

I'm also pretty sure AS was referring to the moaning and groaning rather than any booing. And I'm sorry but most of that came from the Paddock around the area, as previously mentioned, close to the dugout. One idiot sitting behind me gave Carl Cort non-stop abuse for the whole game and then called AS "thick" when he subbed Weston. It's easy to have a pop at Ealing Road because some of the scummy yoof element in there but most of the negativity around GP comes from the moaning old bastards in the Braemar and New Road.
 

Booing

I was in Ealing Road behind the goal and I did hear a bit of booing from the right side, but I didn't know who it was aimed at. What did annoy me was the negativity. We are watching a league one side with players who are not World class and they will make the odd mistake. One bloke was slagging Hunt off as being "crap". Clearly couldn't have been there at all last season, and I for one thought Hunt has a good game, as he more than often does. This moans and groans really don't help the players, we have to accept that we are coming up against much better teams that some of the sh*te in league two last year. I have a 200 mile round trip from North Wiltshire and I never leave early, I never boo the team at the end, and even if we play badly or have been beaten i'll still stay and applaud the effort of the players. No one sets out to play badly. Some of our fans moan even when we are top of the league. I heard people moaning at Bournemouth last season, I mean FFS what do the team have to do to keep these people happy. There, I feel much better now :-)

I sat in BR when we beat Yeovil 3-2 under Martin Allen a few years ago and I literally could not believe the amount of negativity there was, even when we were 2-0 up before they got one back, they still moaned!! :rolleyes:
