Just got back from the game. Took two neutrals to the game, they couldn't believe we didn't win. They saw some good football at times, but like me they couldn't believe that at the end people were booing.
I come home, and have read through the match thread to see what reaction the game got from the "armchair" brigade.
I've come to the conclusion that Chandler was right about a lot of you.
Frankly, if CL buggered off tomorrow, I wouldn't blame him one bit, not with so called fans like some of you.
I suppose, when even Fergie gets booed by his own fans after all he has done for Manure, what do you expect from the fans of a Championship team in a transitional period .

I can't believe they were booing either, or at HT, or the bloke near me who kept shouting 'you don't know what you're doing'. Ok so we didn't win against Brighton, I admit that's a poor result. But personally I thought we played better than we have in quite a few games. I was so annoyed with the fans tonight, when we passed it around people got impatient and started booing so someone would lump it up to Hume or De Vries, who would lose the ball and people would complain even more.
There was some good passing football at times, a symptom of no Dublin in the back four (on that subject, I cannot believe the morons who were berating de Vries and cheering when he went off, then loving Dublin even though he was far worse). I'm not a fan of Williams's but I did think he was ok tonight, and McCarthy was back to his old (good) self. Kisnorbo was unable to cross at all, I'd agree with whoever said that he just doesn't look like a footballer. I felt better with Henderson between the posts than I have done with Douglas, but he was only tested once really.
The situation with the fans frustrates me greatly, as I feel like I'm on a completely different page to everyone else. They all (the ones who sit around me) seem to think we're playing bad football and our players are rubbish and Levein should go, but honestly if he did I don't know what would happen to our club. In my mind it would be a disaster.

I am also dead against the Booers. We played good football in the second half, and as has always been the case, looked at our most dangerous when we upped the tempo.
True some of the passes went astray and players were not always looking for spaces. We looked desparately short of proper wingers in the second half.
I hate the people who say Tiatto is shite. He is clumsy sometimes and was lucky not to get a red card, and Levein was brave to keep him on. His work rate is great. He chases down and he made some great passes.
Where we really lack the spark is the first time shot inside the box. We do not have the confidence or skill to slot it home. I saw Lundberg's little chip over the goalie with the outside of his boot. He makes it look so simple, which is why he is valued at probably £10 million more than our entire team.
It WAS frustrating that we could not score but we did play reasonably well and I am confident that CL is getting right.

Perhaps you might explain to your two friends that the solution to the puzzle why e don't win many games is that we haven't got any decent forwards anymore - you know the guys who are supposed to put the ball in the back of the net.
