I don’t think most people know what they are booing at the full time whistle. The defeat ? The ref ? The opposition goalkeeper ? Our own team ? It seems to me that if the result hasn’t gone our way, people just boo anyway as the opposite to cheering if it’s a positive result. The same people booing often stop and start clapping once the players come over - very odd !!
Golfie Jnr was commenting on the Talksport piece the other day about the CAFC fan who left the game early last week. He said that he would never leave a game early - EVER - and would stay to the bitter end if only to show is displeasure by booing.
In Season 2011-12 when we Won with 101 points. Our worst run was in March when we lost 3 drew 1 and Won 1 in that month. We then won 8 of the next 9 with the other a draw.

Whether it’s because they aren’t used to fans being in the ground but most of the players walked off without applauding the crowd after MK Bowyer and Pratley excepted.
i was applauding after not being able to go for me it was for the past dozen or so games not just that game.

I don' know where he gets it from..............
My Dad was forced to leave by his neighbour who took him as a 12 year old against Huddersfield at 5-1 and has never gotten over it. As a result it was drilled into myself and my brother you never leave before the final whistle whatever the score or performance.

I noticed that as well, Pratters the only person to come over to the East stand
I think booing should be reserved for truly abject performances. We were 2 nil down at home to Norwich a few years back and it was the worst i’d ever seen us play. Deserving of a boo at half time

I remember that match so well. Luzon was the manager and we were lucky to have nil. So I decided to be pro active and as he came out from the tunnel for the 2nd half back to the dug out I indicated to Luzon to play two strikers. I did not swear but the two fingers and play two strikers was my 30 second mantra back to the bemused Israeli. Luzon never said a word, the few fans who were back in the front row stood up as they could see I was a man on a mission as we walked the yards back to the dugout.
Luzon suddenly pointed back to the tunnel and Tony Watt immerged and came jogging down the touchline to join Igor Vetokele up front.
2nd half we were so much better and from memory both Watt and Igor scored and I'm certain it was 2-3.
Blimey, he listened to you said the half a dozen guys sitting around me !
Watching on stream and thought I heard boos from the away fans as Adkins and team went over?
Yeah loads of boos at the end. A fairly loud you're not fit to wear the shirt as well. I think tbh they should of just gone down the tunnel after that performance.
Not keen on booing and fear it could be counterproductive if it builds a them and us atmosphere between players and supporters. That said, I feel anyone who made that journey and paid their cash to watch that utter garbage was fully justified if they wanted to.

They go straight down the tunnel and get criticised for going straight down the tunnel and not applauding the fans for coming.

I'd like to say I'm on the optimistic spectrum of Charlton fans and very rarely boo. Have clapped the team after the game at the last 3 matches.
But today really warranted it. 1,500 of us travelling there on a Tuesday night. Not just to see us lose, but in such a pathetic manner. Those players and Adkins needed to hear that. I don't care if we lose on Saturday, but if it's another spineless and predictable performance I'll be booing again.
I hate booing my own team, and very very rarely do it, but today’s shit show majorly pissed me off.
It was devoid of any effort and as Joshrew said, spineless and pathetic.
Our plan A is to hoof it up to Stockley and if that doesn’t work… then we’ll just keep doing it because we have no plan B.
The only moment that pissed me off the most was this; in the 95th minute, one of our more senior, experienced players at the age of 32 years old, with 102 international caps under his belt has been pinged for a foul throw by our own corner flag.
I was there tonight and as pissed off as anyone but singing 'you're not fit to wear the shirt' after 3 league games is pathetic. Yes we were crap but I don't think it's due to lack of effort. That song should be saved for the likes of Hasselbaink who clearly don't give a shit.
Deji Elerewe’s family were standing in front of where I was standing. They were filming Deji come over at the end, as it is clearly a big moment for the family. All you can probably hear in the video is booing and ‘you’re not fit to wear the shirt’, which is unfair, because Deji is one of the few who everyone will agree is fit to wear the shirt.
This is why I didn’t boo today, because there were a couple of players who can still come away from the game with credit. I will only boo if everyone has been poor.

Saying that, I made sure Gunter knew I thought he’s a cnut

Seems like a life time ago but we were promoted to the Championship in May 2019; which was so last year.
