David Marshall speaks out about booing
Tue Jan 12, 2010 1:00 pm
I like Marshall, he seem to understand football fans more so than most of our squad. 
Personally I don’t mind the boos,” said the former Celtic goalkeeper and Scotland international.
“The supporters pay good money to watch football these days and they have that right to say what they want.
“But I can assure you that the players were not happy either about the team’s overall performance.”
Marshall, however, does concede that a negative feeling from the terraces does have an effect on the team.
He said: “It doesn’t exactly help the team when your own fans are booing.
“But, as I say, they pay the money and it’s up to them what they want to do.
“Booing and cheering is part and parcel of football.
“It doesn’t really worry me if I hear boos because it’s a long season and, although we were all not happy with our performance on Saturday, there is a lot of football to be played yet.
“I just hope the supporters can get behind us now. It has been a tough week for them with all the off-the-field issues and they were probably frustrated.”

Spot on
The booing was not only because we did not win at home again but because the fans are frustrated with off field issues.
Dave Jones should realise that before slagging off the fans again.

I never boo during a game, whether it be a player or the team. I find that sort of thing divisive and undermines the team and team spirit. However, if it's been a pretty dismal performance, which Saturday was and others also have this season, I will boo at the end. I think that lets the players and management know what we, the paying public really think of the way they have played. Whether they take notice of it is another matter and I have my doubts whether they do or not

It's nice to hear a player understanding the fans frustrations, because Jones is not connecting with us at all.A lot of us give every spare cash we've got towards this club & it's about time Jones started giving us some respect.
