….I always find it strange when posters suggest Everton fans ‘boo’ when a player makes a mistake. Being 66, I’ve watched lots of football in lots of places and even played a bit myself. Crowds everywhere will groan when a player makes a mistake, crowds everywhere appreciate when a player does something they approve of.

Everton fans are passionate about their footy, Everton fans can build an atmosphere but ultimately there’s not lots of difference to reactions everywhere. It’s an absolute nonsense to think Evertonians ‘boo’ young players who miscontrol or misplace a pass. They embrace and adore players who perform well and criticise those that don’t in places like this.

Pretty much the same as fans everywhere.
I'm really referring to persistent mistakes, and the same passion you refer to makes the groans that bit louder than clubs with slightly lower expectations.
There is a definite difference between reactions to mistakes at Goodison than lets see this season @Kenilworth rd or even the Amex for example.
We have high expectations. Our players do play with the weight of history on their shoulders, we even sing about that history.

'Boo' might be too strong a word to use I admit, because that is rare, and generally is at the whole team's performance, but you can't deny the pressure is higher at Goodison than some other clubs. Though our expectations are gradually being eroded by decades of a celebration of mediocrity at board level.

You differentiate Everton fans while at the same time saying we are the same. Goodison is known to be intimidating to visiting teams when it's on it. Is it that much of a leap to suggest it can make it tougher for our own players when things aren't going well?
