If we want to get out of this league then hurling abuse at the players will seriously hinder our chances.

I never personally boo the players during or after a game. Like the OP it makes me cringe to hear our fans booing our team, even if we have played poorly.
You may think the performance wasn't good enough - often it isn't - but abusing and jeering your own players doesn't help them and only goes to make them nervous of playing in front of their own fans in future. That puts us at a disadvantage in games before we've even kicked off. It's not as if the players need telling that they've been bad because they'll know when they've had a howler, both as an individual and as a collective unit.
At Altrincham on Saturday I just walked off and didn't acknowledge the players. I actually think that says more than booing to be honest because the silence makes them realise they've let us down.

Some people are of the opinion that players should know how they feel in order to get a reaction from them.

I think most of us were doing that at the end of the Mansfield game ! In reply to the OP, in my opinion no it's not ok to boo your own team, as has already been said the players will know if they have performed badly. How anyone who calls themselves a supporter thinks this will help the players performance is beyond me but if that floats your boat and you think you are entitled to abuse players in that way I guess that's your perogative.

People know what they are letting themselves in for when they travel the 8 hour round trip to Altrincham, spending the best part of £100 quid, leaving the house at 10am and getting home at 10pm, you can hardly boo the players and the manager, maybe boo yourself for thinking why have i traveled to watch a team who have been an embarrassment away from home for the last 4 years, and parted with a large part of my weekly wages. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but in recent seasons I've only gone to away games that are fairly local, i just couldn't justify watching s**te at the other end of the country.

I used to be a happy clapper and applaud Rovers off whatever the result. The first time I really turned on the team was at home to Dagenham in 2011. A little kid in front of me pointed out their bloke was unmarked and 5 seconds later he scored with a free header. That game was a real six pointer yet the players couldn't have cared less. The Torquay home game near the end of last season was another one. There is no point being 'loyal' if the players are taking the piss. Rovers fans have been loyal for years to those that have worn the famous quarters but that loyalty has not been repaid in recent years. I used to laugh at City and their disloyal fans, but Rovers fans are too loyal for their own good. Any slight criticism and you get someone saying 'f off to Trashton then'. Two relegations in 3 seasons and we are now the lowest ranked professional football team in the country. If Telford came and won 5-0 on Saturday you'd still get some people clapping Rovers. Some of the players we've had and performances we've endured, booing is too kind....they need shooting. I won't boo this team yet as the new signings had nothing to do with Rovers previous capitulations. Give it a few more poor performances to part time teams, and I may not be so forgiving.

Fair play to those at Barnet and Altrincham...if they felt the need to boo the team, I don't blame them.

Like many others i sat in 6 hours of traffic, was forced into drinking lager as cider doesn't exist in Manchester, spent £14 to enter a s**t stadium, £2.50 on a s**t programme, £2.40 on a s**t pie and totally wasted a day of my weekend to watch the utter shambles of a performance this team full of pussies served up.
Every person who attended had every right to boo the s**t out of them.

Never booed at a match myself, but if people want to do it that's their prerogative, I don't see how they would think it would help but there you go? The only times I really remember being ashamed of being connected to Bristol Rovers supporters were when Buckle was receiving some really vile abuse from some morons who should be old enough to know better, right in front of where I was standing and when literally thousands of people were singing, F off Zebroski you so and so. Truly appalling behaviour.

Never booed, and can't imagine that I ever would. But that's just my personality type, as I've been told that "I don't do anger". I never understand how people who boo and catcall at players during a game, think that they are going to achieve some on-pitch improvements by doing so. Those who choose to boo at the end, well, that's their entitlement as they've paid their money, same as me.

My point of view is pretty straight forward, would you think it's okay to behave this way to the bloke down the road? No? Then it's not okay to behave that way to some bloke who happens to have a profile (albeit that is now only as a conference footballer).
If anyone doesn't agree with that then they might wonder if they, as a capable and established non-league footballer, would move across the country to earn marginally more money playing for a team where they get relentlessly abused by the fans.
