And people forget that in the summer the guy just got his head down and got on with it when everyone else was throwing out transfer requests left right and centre or getting their agents to drum up interest |

I wouldn't pick any player who grew such a silly moustache- it does a great disservice to his upper lip. |

Bit of an over reaction, i was in the Gill Merick stand and didn't hear any real booing. I have always rated fahey, the future middle two for me is Fahey and N'daw, power and strength with a bit of guile. Support the team!! |

I am on the fence here...you boo a player coming on as you disagree with the manager picking him. Fahey has been given LOADS OF TIME to settle in. Sick of this give him a chance. He is a poor player to have in a central role. Sub at best. |

Some people seem to forget that we are not the Manager and we are not Players.... We are supposed to be Supporters! You cannot support a player by booing him.... So let the Manager manage and sort out the Team.... Let the players perform on the pitch and if they don't play the way the Manager wants them to then let him be the one to criticise them.... And let us as Supporters wholeheartedly support every player on that pitch that the Manager selects.... You cannot justifiably criticise a player if you do not carry out your role as a Supporter.... However you can be criticised for being a bad supporter; unfortunately you cannot be singled out in the same way that players can be.... We all have a role to play - may I respectfully suggest that the Supporters do just that and support the Team! **thumbup |

The second you boo a player the teams head drops, they are all mates and if you boo one player you might as well boo the whole team, lets say Fahey's best mate is Carr and you start the boos, Carr is going to think "*** them" which leads to a poor display, booing a player lifts the opposition and their supporters. |

And what was he on Saturday? A sub... Im sorry but booing our own team/players/manager during a game is simply idiotic and counter-productive... just like the ironic cheering last season when Zigic come on once and tried to win headers in the air. Like Fahey or not, he gives his all and tries whenever he plays, he doesnt walk half-Bothered about the pitch like Ridgewell did before his injury. |

I wonder how much fans opinions wouldve changed had Keith's shot in the Carling Cup Final found the bottom corner, rather than cannoning off the post... |

That is no defence of Fahey, MF. Those same said fans will always think Zigic is great for his flukey one against Villa last season. But your post reminds me of something. When Fahey came here all those St Pats fans came on here and their main fanfare was Fahey's long-distance shooting and free licks. I don't think I have seen him attempt one this season. I know the Irish league is about Conference standard but that shouldn't matter when it comes to taking a free kick or attempting an in-play long shot. As I said in an earlier post, I think we were all duped by those St Pat's fans and it didn't help when the plastic paddies jumped on his bandwagon. (great free kick from Seb yesterday) |

This Forum is turning into a Dumping Ground for negativity and vitriol. Some people - I won't call them fans or supporters - seem to think that they have a right to know what is going on at the Club and a right to criticise the Manager and the individual performances of the Players! Well let me tell you - you have no rights whatsoever! IF you attend any of the matches - home and/or away - that is a choice you make! You are a customer of that specific ground, you pay your money and you make your choice. As a customer you have no right to demand financial knowledge or anything remotely pitched at management level from the Club. Who the hell do you think you are? You don't receive that from anywhere else you are a customer - so why should you receive it from Blues? If you don't like the performances on the pitch then don't go to the matches! Your continuous b1tch1ng has an adverse effect on everyone, particularly the ones you continually complain about! The positive comments on this Forum actually come from those on here who do have some qualified football knowledge. Our choice as 'readers' is based on how much power we choose to give to those words - positive or negative. If it is qualified then I will read and respond. If it isn't then just stop going to the Blues' matches and then guess what? You'll have nothing to moan about! Now wouldn't your life improve greatly if you had nothing to moan about? :banghead: |

I was surprised to see Fahey on the bench, he is central to our pass and move philosophy. I shake my head every time I see a negative Fahey post because he is a real quality player, hasn't tried to force a move and always gives 100% despite constant negativity and scapegoating. The guy deserves some recognition for his efforts, not boos when he comes on from the club's "fans". |

Of course people have a right to criticize their team, manager, board etc. Ultimately we fans are the guys who pour our money into their bulging bank accounts and it is screamingly obvious that we should be interested in our investments. While I agree the barracking players is utterly counter productive it will nevertheless remain true that some will allow their frustration to go public as it were.In this respect Blues fans are no different from other fans the world over and the surest way for a player to remove this particular monkey from his back is to start performing. It doesn't seem to occur to one of two posters that the punters actually don't want to criticize player - far from it- they would rather lavish praise on their team and will do so whenever there is the smallest sign of encouragement. There's nothing better for a fan than to drool over their team's achievements over a pint or several but when things start going wrong the erring players better watch out-the fans will be after them. The moral is, of course, that if players don't like negative criticism then the best remedy is to start delivering on the pitch. I find your attidude distressingly subservient- if you were in an expensive reastaurant and you were served a bad meal would you eat it and walk out sheepishly or call for the manager and tell him/her to get hi8s/her finger out? I know which course I'd take. |

I do agree with you Bluebird about the need to not boo at matches, but I think debating a player's merits on a forum is ok, even if people are criticising him. Notice I say 'debating'. There is a world of difference between slagging a player off with vitriolic, abusive comments and saying you think he is not playing well, or you think he is not good enough. (Not aimed at you, Bluebird **thumbup ) Forums aren't places for people to agree with each other all the time, or to constantly come out with positive comments. They should be places where people are allowed to criticise and debate, but in a mature way. Besides not slagging a player off, I think it is important that we don't slag each other off, which I've seen from both sides. |

Who says he isn't performing curly? What qualifications do you have, or anyone else for that matter, to evaluate and criticise his performance? Do you know the instructions Fahey has received from the Manager and the Coaching Staff? Just because he doesn't do what you think he ought to do doesn't mean that he isn't performing and doesn't mean that he deserves criticism!
Tell me what you are investing in? What investment does the money you pay actually go to? What is it that you are looking for in return for your £30 / £40? The £30 / £40 per match is a lot to us as individuals but does not even make a ripple on the money paid out in expenses by a Football Club....
I would not want to distress you by my attitude being mis-interpreted as subservient.... So there you go - someone else judged wrongly yet again - I will therefore tell you that I would not hesitate to complain about food or service provided whether it was an expensive restaurant or a 'Take-Away'.... But I would do that face to face and they would know what my complaint was about. The people that do what you are suggesting are snipers. They hide away where no-one can see their faces, no-one can point a finger and they don't have the courage or the cajones to be accountable for what they do and say! Basically they are cowards!
How do I respond to this? I know: It doesn't seem to occur to one of two posters that the players actually don't want to be criticized - far from it- they would rather play well and be supported by the fans and will do so whenever there is the smallest sign of encouragement. Play the role that you claim to be - that of a Supporter! If you can't be the perfect Supporter then you have no right to complain about someone who in your opinion isn't the perfect Player! Let Fahey do his job and you do yours by supporting Fahey to play to the best of his ability! You might actually then see what you are looking for **thumbup |

I feel sory for Freddie Murcury, er i mean Keith Fahey. he works his socks off when on the pitch but people only seem to see the mistakes he makes. Hell even ive moaned when ive seen some of the touches he does but then taken a step back and realised that he does more good than bad. but that is my opinion and i know others will differ. but to boo a player regardless of who it is is totally uncalled for and will shatter any players confidence. this needs to stop |

Two excellent posts which I think the majority of proper fans would agree with. The booing of Fahey (and Zigic) make me ashamed to be a Blues fan. |

Bluebird, I've been mildy critical of Fahey recently mostly because I had highish expectations of him this season; I haven't put the boot in and I certainly haven't booed him at any games I have attended. Like yourself I do think this criticism is excessive but I still belive that is a right not a privelege for a fan to express his/her opinion. As for your suggestion that we fans don't pay into players pockets then I'd only ask if not we then who else shovels in the money to sustain any football club? It's true that thesedays most of the money comes from TV revenues but those televised games have to be bankrolled and by whom, I wonder? The fans possibly? Football clubs are not built on thin air, you know? |
