It's a human reaction. It's not clever but mocking your own players like Davinson Sanchez is dumb, cruel, and nasty and I condemn all Spurs fans who did it. The same 'fans' don't treat cheating officials to help their team, no they are like being in a library in the stadium. Waste of space!
Explain what was wrong with boing ndombele? It was not his lack of skill that turned the fans against him, it was his utter lack of effort. If you had ever paid to actually watch a game you would know, players who don't put in the effort but take your money get it in the neck!
I wouldn't personally boo Sanchez because he is just criminally shite, but Id boo the manager for bringing him on in the first place!
You can't or at least shouldn't boo someone for being shit, although feeling angry at watching someone steeling a living is more than acceptable, but booing some lazy assed bastard who by his actions or lack of such, are an insult, yeah that's more than fair game.
Erm, chill out. I didn't say there was anything wrong it.
The thread title is "is booing your own team EVER justified"... clearly yes, it is sometimes justified, as long as its a player who is considered lazy/disinterested.
this is the thing. a lot of the boo's would of been for the decision to bring him on but because theres no way of making that clear it looks like its just for sanchez.
Maybe it was when his every touch got booed?
yea some of it was out of order, but the original boo is for the decision to bring him on its not for him personally. it was beyond stupid to bring him on, the fans were proved right, which they was always going to be as anyone with half a brain who understands football would of realised it was brain dead decision to bring him on. hes a walking calamity.
if the fans didnt boo its not like sanchez is not going to be sanchez. fans are sick of watching the management make brain dead decisions over and over again, complete incompetence. the sooner these italian mugs fuck off the better
Booing the team is an important way to communicate fan displeasure, I think.
Singling out a particular player, for me, you'd better have a pretty compelling reason.

Booing the entire team is fine. Happens in all sports. But piling on one player when his teammates have also been poor is another.
but how do you let the manager know he hasn't got a fucking clue with his subs?
I don't like to hear booing against individual players and have never done it (I didn't even boo Ndombele, but only because I didn't realize the issue at the time!)
What upset me was the boos for Davison were louder than they were for Party.
I think it's a bit much to expect a decent performance from someone who hardly gets minutes.

Booing the team at the end of the game is fine, if the effort has not been good enough.
Booing individual players is bullying and can totally destroy someone.
The treatment Sanchez got was pathetic and everyone was surprised when he made a couple of costly errors..
The lad got booed before he even kicked a ball, so is it really a shock that he performed like he did?

Booing a sub I get, and booing after a game or HT…. Booing a players every touch is disgraceful
Yeah, well said.
He was booed going on, during and then coming off. In what universe is that helpful ?
I cant judge the crowd, but to me it seems they were venting the sad state of affairs overall. Dav, took one for the team.
He did not select himself.
The fury needs to be directed at those in power.
I think booing a team can be fine if you're in a situation that requires booing. Lack of effort all round etc.
Reminds me of when Brighton fans booed their team at times last season when they were fighting middle of the Prem table for the first time in their history and playing good football.
