Felgate Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Fantastic result today and a great way, in my opinion, to hopefully silence some of the Megson bashers. From what I've read, a cracking full debut for Davies, so again, makes it easier to wave goodbye to Nolan. For those of us unlucky not to be at the match today, what were the Bolton fans like today? What was the reception like for Megson? What was the response like from the majority of fans when Spurs equalised - echoes of the Dingles match? Felgate - celebrating from afar with a cracking bottle of Bordeaux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burndens Bogs Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) On the whole our support was good - i did however see/hear half a dozen "yoof" under the NSL screaming "Megson out" Just after SKD got the winner PS - They weren't taking the piss or being ironic - they fookin meant it Edited January 31, 2009 by Burndens Bogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boby Brno Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I had a conversation this morning with another poster off here that sums up my opinion of Bolton fans. During the sixties when I went in the Lever End, we used to stand with like minded fans who used to 'cheer on' the whites and support them with chants and singing etc. No one ever criticised the team, if you did you got a slap from someone (usually older) and told not to be disloyal! As I got older I went in the paddocks and realised that there were people who actually went to matches to critcises and barrack the players. To this day I still dont understand why people do this. Today was no different. Sat in the West Stand Upper, I was sat next and among those very same people. Always eager to condemn but never ever ready to praise. Why bother coming1Please stay away!

Site Supporter MickyD Posted January 31, 2009 Site Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2009 When Dowd went over to the touchline to speak to Megson, one or two older lads, 40s i'd guess were shouting for him to send him off. knobheads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwhiteley Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 There was the odd "Mesgon out" shouts from the Bolton fans, but some fans were a lot more vocal when the ref was giving Megson a good ear bashing early in the first half, there were many shouting OFF,OFF,OFF and OUT,OUT,OUT and a corus of boo's when Megson wasn't sent off. Mind you, it was a lot less hostile than Wednesday night at jackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard a few eejits behind me say the same, also a few Megson's out et al, but over all a decent display from our fans today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnstoneworth White Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 When the second goal went in for them it was followed by one or two gesticulating in the West Stand Lower towards Megson saying feck off or words to that effect as they made their way towards the exit. We (the AHM) gave then short shrift and tole them to feck off themselves, Mr M Hunt ANT HILL MOB LOYAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I don't know if any on here are part of the group of about 40ish year olds that stand at the top of the ESL slightly to the right of the screen (towards the halfway line). Anyway they all seem to be set against Megson no matter what. Today they were singing for Owen Coyle, and that was when we were 2-0 up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totty Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 the megson abuse today was comical, people jokingly shouting megson out after we scored lifted what was a really strange and subdued atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHBWFC Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 A few near me started shouting "off off", was tongue in cheek really. I dont know about you's but i prefere a manager who is constantly on the line shouting and showing passion for his team. People who were shouting 'off, off, off' are idiots.

melbourne_white Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) Going to the match is a thing of the past for me, so judging crowd behaviour is a non starter. But what I can judge are the results from our last few games. Not getting battered by the 'big teams' a 1-0 loss to munchen etc does'nt help with the points tally' but goal difference and team confidence does'nt become too stretched. A draw away to the dingles and a home win against spurs is certainly what the doctor ordered. Although Megson is'nt the greatset manager on the planet, he's not as tactically inept as some of you seem to think he is. Just to reiterate what a lot of you have already posted. Building a new and YOUNG ( average age of less than 37 ) team takes time. So COME ON BOLTON as a whole.

Members bolty58 Posted January 31, 2009 Members Share Posted January 31, 2009 During the sixties when I went in the Lever End, we used to stand with like minded fans who used to 'cheer on' the whites and support them with chants and singing etc. No one ever criticised the team, if you did you got a slap from someone (usually older) and told not to be disloyal! Almost brought a tear to my eye that Boby. A proper football upbringing like I had and 100% true. Summat else that used to be better. Give a young un a quick slap and a lesson in correct behaviour these days and you'd be up on a charge. Count myself as lucky to have experienced all that. BWFC to the core because of all those early good lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YATESY Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Sadly the boo boys are a little stuck in limbo at the moment and only have Megson to pick on. Hunt is on the very edge of the Bolton squad (even when he is fit) and Nolan has left. The boo boys are looking for a new victim and until one appears for them to pick on, Megson will continue to suffer their idiotic offerings.
