The Guardian Everton v QPR
88 min: Everton fans whistle and boo Jagielka for playing the ball back to Howard. With his team 3-1 up. With three minutes to go.
Eh? How does that work?

Daily Post Everton v QPR
Tim Howard has urged Everton FC fans to think twice before booing the team’s passing style and insisted: “We need to stick together.” The Toffees goalkeeper said he was dismayed when skipper Phil Jagielka was jeered for passing back to him towards the end of their 3-1 win over QPR on Monday.

Even bringing on Arouna Kone for Muhamed Besic to add more attacking threat to the side didn't help, nor did it go down well with the Everton fans in attendance, with the majority of fans of booing the substitution.

But booing your own skipper for a backpass at the end of a match Everton led 3-1 seemed strange. Negativity from the stands can be damaging. It transmits to the pitch and creates tension and nervousness amongst players. It makes individuals make bad decisions.

I am reliably informed that the mood in the home dressing room post-match was not as boisterous, as bouncy or as bullish as it should have been after a comfortable victory. And it was hardly surprising. The players had just seen their skipper booed for following his manager’s instructions to the letter.

In Roberto Martinez, Everton have the most relentlessly positive manager they have ever had. But some of their supporters take misery to new depths.
 
We need to chill the goodison faithful at half time. Tape a bag of sensi under every seat , some 60's trojan reggae on the tannoy and everything will be fineeee

I didn't boo Howard after his first whopper of a mistake, but I called him all the names under the sun, it didn't do
much good, because he made a bigger cock up a few minutes later,so what are we supposed to do,.i think I'll just
wait until after the match and pull tongue's at him when he comes out of the players entrance.
 
Catch the end of the Arsenal game? Boos all round. Why? Because their team had just put in a horrendous performance in Europe yet again. This is a team flying high in the league that most of the time play great football and won a trophy last season. So why the boos? It's the predictability of it. There is nothing more annoying as a fan than seeing the same things going wrong over and over again and nothing changing. Arsenal nearly always mess up at the second round of the champions league. Howard is making the same mistakes most games, Martinez always takes of Mirallas and Besic when he should be taking off Barry and Naismith. The fans don't like seeing the same mistakes over and over. I guarantee you no one boos the first time a mistake is made. Everyone probably applauded Howard the very first time he flapped a cross into his own net, but when it happens week after week season after season you reach your limit.

Looks an impressive response at first sight until you look again and realise there are just 6 references, of which 3 relate to just the one game and 2 are from little read websites. I mean, you had to really dig deep on The Guardian website one -- that's not a report, it's just a one liner on the match commentary!!!

So really the response just merely confirms my point -- there is no media interest in our club.

One other thing, the reference to Barkley in the WBA game is totally fictitious. The motto? -- don't believe everything you read.
 
Boos...we lost to the like of Palace and Stoke at home and we draw WBA and the bottom team etc. There are reasons why such thing happens. From 5th to 12th or even lower no wonder the fans are furious.
 

"I work around the Country, and the amount of people who mention how negative our home support is unbelievable They mention the treatment Barkley receives, and others if things are not going well."

Really? Frankly I'd be surprised if anyone in the rest of the country was so aware. Are they getting the impression from TV? Doubt it, it has never been an issue that has come over on the telly. Are they getting it second hand, from the Press? Doubt it, the Press is not interested in anything to do with Everton. I read many newspapers and I truthfully can't recall one article or even a reference to 'the treatment Barkley (supposedly) gets'. That just leaves websites. In other words they are just regurgitating what is being said by Evertonians on our websites. A circular, self-supporting generation of a myth.

But your argument was that the rest of the country wasn't aware how negative our support is. Here's a recent quote from the Ipswich forum TWTD;

But the booing during the game is just ridiculous and often for the wrong reason.

Everton fans are the worst for this, literally berating their team every time a forward pass goes astray or it goes backwards and you visibly see the confidence drain from players like Lukaku and even Barkley.

We just need to be patient and remember that keeping the ball is half the battle won.
 
And another report of some fans' negative reaction, mrb85;

ESPN Everton v QPR

This slightly edgy finish led to a rather unfortunate, astonishing occurrence whereby a small section of the crowd began to boo players passing backward when well placed farther forward.

Booing is forever a hotly debated topic among supporters, but so long as fans continue to pay for tickets, it is their right to do so, should they wish. That did little to make sense of this bizarre episode.

When the Toffees found themselves booed off after the 1-1 draw at home to Hull, there was a degree of understanding. Even if you did not agree, you could see why others felt compelled to vent their displeasure at such a poor display.

In this instance, though, with key personnel absent and a team on the brink of only their third home success in a season marred by injury and inconsistency, such a reaction felt like madness. Booing a side minutes from a two-goal victory is like a spoiled, rich kid complaining his new Ferrari is the wrong color.

Yadda, yadda feckin yadda.

None of the fans were as "bouncy, bullish or as boisterous" as we normally would be after a "comfortable victory" either.

Why?

Because it was rhe most stupifyingly boring 3-1 victory I have ever sat through.

We neither expect nor want to see any of our players hit it back to the goalkeeper when we are two goals in front with only a couple of minutes remaining against the worst team in the league.

Do they not get it?

We want to see another goal.....and you don't get that by back passing in the last minute.

You do that when you are hanging on to a one goal lead at Old Traffird or the Bridge.

This business of blaming the fans is starting to get on my tits.

If Martinez doesn't like the boos then maybe he should sod off back to Wigan.

Or start playing the type of football which really would make those who boo look like ingrates.

Because we are not slow to let the manager know when we are not happy.

It's Everton, Bobby......love us or leave us.
