I think the main thing that’s being missed from everywhere is that the game was pointless. Had some of these players mentioned done what they did and then played a pointless game after it you would have seen the same reaction back then as well. If we were still going for the league or a champions league place/place in Europe then there wouldn’t have been any boos. I think it was just a perfect storm. It was an opportunity for fans to show their disdain without it actually meaning anything to the competitiveness of the first team. It was completely on the manager who’s been making weird decisions like this all year. He hasn’t been taking the players emotions about being left out constantly into play (Endo, Elliott) or letting a player score then freezing them out (Nunez, Chiesa). He’s been like a robot all year.
I was in the upper centenary and the boos/whistles came from the whole ground. I thought he deserved it and I don’t give a shit what any pundit or other fanbase thinks about us doing it. His first touch got booed and then so did his second. The second one made me uncomfortable because it was about 67 mins in and I thought the point had been made. What were these people going to do? Boo every time for the next 30 mins. It stopped after that though from what I heard.
I’ve never felt more uncomfortable about a free kick being taken in my life. It was probably best that it didn’t go in though because the his shit don’t stink attitude celebration whatever it would have been would have have caused a riot.
