I cannot help thinking that when a section of the crowd starts chanting this it doesn't actually work in our favour but no-one seems to understand this!
Is it that people are just plain stupid and think that abusing someone will make them change their ways and suddenly make what the abusers consider are correct decisions??
There is a family sits behind the goal and constantly shouts and abuses the opposing goal keeper from start to finish of the half "You are f.....g s..t!" Time and again this season this has inspired wonder saves from goal keepers (when we shoot that is).
I just don't understand people's perception of what their abuse actually does and if someone kept saying that they were s..t would they change??!
Is this just me and am I missing some social point or statistic that abusing the ref and the linesman actually causes them to change or be less biased?
Maybe it is the abusers who 'don't know what they are doing!"

Makes them feel good about themselves.
Doesn't matter if it works against us. |  | | |

When the chant of “You’re just another s**t ref” gets going, it’s usually out of sheer frustration and exasperation at the decisions made by the match officials by that stage of the game. It’s not as if it starts from the off, it’s usually after quite a number of decisions going against us, or a load of perceived injustices. Mass venting!!
Obviously if we played better as a team, it wouldn’t come to that!!
Sustained goading of an oppo player often bites us on the bum tho. I remember when Andy Cole was coming to the end of his career and playing for Burnley. I think we were 2:1 up and he was getting a dogs abuse. Unsurprisingly he scored two and Burnley ran out winners 3:2. |  | | |

I sometimes cry: “I say ref, I'm sorry to say that I view some of your decisions disfavourably”
That sorts 'em out. |  | | |

For the record Cole scored a hat-trick and Burnley won 4-2. |  | | |

Conversely: it puts the ref under 'pressure' to not make another howler.
Frankly, who hasn't vented their spleen when a ref gets it massively wrong, and maybe it's quite cathartic in its own way.
Me: there's a type of ref I can't stand, and that's the one who thinks we're solely there to watch them. We're all human and capable if making a mistake; certainly not going to abuse. However, when the Billy Big balls cocks up, then no problem letting them know.
I hasten to add,when they get it right then you clap your appreciation. [Post edited 13 Jan 2023 18:29]

Yep, you’re right, he got a hat trick in our 2:4 defeat. I think I was feeling so sick at the time that my memory is in denial!! | | | |

It was made after the penalty 'claim' when laird was 'tripped' - absolute nonsense - Clive didn't even mention it in his match report!
Don't think it has much effect - they are used to it by now. | | | |

I wasn’t referring to a specific event, just the chant in general, as and when it starts up. I agree with you in that I doubt most refs are bothered by it as they would be used to it (not that that makes it ok!).
3 jobs I’d go nowhere near - PM, England Manager and football ref, as everyone knows better than you!! | | | |

For what it’s worth, Cole got a fantastic send off from the Rangers fans when he got substituted. I was quite proud of that. |  |
| Did I ever mention that I was in Minder? |

I remember people constantly abusing Darren Bent, and he scored a hattrick against us at HQ |  | | |

This probably falls into the same category as when the crowd throws the ball the away from the player trying to take a thrown in late in the match when we are defending a slender lead. I'm sure the ref adds on the double time lost - and who can blame them? Yet still it happens again and again. | | | |

That's mainly what our first eleven do. No QPR player ever tells the ref they have it wrong like most of our opposition do, so the crowd NEED to fill in with "another sh*t ref".
Don't generally do it to players unless we've got the game won, but refs, yep!
Although I was a one man booing mission at the Star Sixes at the O2 a few years back whenever Boswinga touched the ball. He must have been VERY confused, but at least I managed to get about 10 people to join from the other side of the arena... |  |

Chanting,
“Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! You’re shit! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!”
at the keeper (theirs or ours) is in my top 5 of reasons to go to football. | | | |

Are you still sulking Jon or are you coming to the next match?
Only Beth and I were there in our little corner of the ground. | | | |
