Boo who? - Two wrongs

I really can’t see the point in spending good money to get to and then watch a football match only to jeer the side you’re there to “support”.

While I had a lot of sympathy with the fans who travelled to South Africa and – in some cases – spent their savings supporting England and booed at the end of the Algeria game, I really don’t understand why some fans wasted their dosh doing it during the game against Hungary last night.

If you’re not happy – don’t turn up. That sends out a clearer message to not only the players, but the coaching staff and the Football Association as well.

Equally, the players need to understand that they are not untouchable. It is a game of opinions and sometimes those opinions might not be ones that the players agree with, but hey, accepting them comes with the big bucks.

My concern is that jeering players will filter down to the lower levels of professional football where – in my opinion – it is a far more honest game and the players don’t get paid millions and many work their bollocks off just to remain in a job from one season to another.
