Pavlovs Dogs and the Stepford wives have taken over the asylum. If you lot read the posts genuinely then you would realise that people feel exactly the same way about the club and players as you do. But if the team or individual player is playing poorly I don't think sitting on your hands does them any good either. Ferguson is the best in the business and he doesn't take prisoners when his team or players performs badly. What abuse was Morison subjected to? If its personal then the stewards should be told and the culprit thrown out and banned. Simple. A professional does not get involved. But if it was "pull your finger out" or "useless twat" then that is the language of football and he has to take it. And I think you ought to get off ILD's case. He has said he doesn't boo. He doesn't condone it but he does realise why some people do it. It doesn't make them morons. He does get angry and he's entitled to when witnessing a poor performance. If it was a play or a movie of course you wouldn't boo but you would walk out. And having a rant on Canary Call is effin stupid. You would want to do it at the ground when they can hear you. It strikes me with your attitude, we would still have Robert Chase in charge.
Why doesn't Morison use the abuse as a positive and to have the desire to prove people wrong about him?
This is ridiculous! Sometimes I feel that Morison could help himself more in games, especially when he shows bad body language, after only being on the pitch two minutes after coming on as a sub. This is when he needs to hear the SUPPORTERS of the club he plays for, giving him SUPPORT. How on earth anybody can think that booing or getting on a player's back is helping anyone, god only knows. I will criticise as much as the next man, especially when we play like we did at Blackburn - even Lambert almost criticised them, so you know they must of been bad. However, I would never let any Norwich player hear this critisism as it can only make the situation worse. Footballers get paid a lot of money to kick a bit of leather and air around a pitch, but they are still human beings that need an arm around their shoulder from time to time. Everybody has their bad days, where your performance is not considered to be up to standard, and this obviously includes footballers. If a manager considers that your performance is not of the required standard for the company you work for, he/she will deal with it, and as long as Morison is playing games, I trust that Lambert is dealing with him, if he needs it. I can say with 100% certainty, Lambert will not have got on Morison's back regarding his perfortmance's. Come on guys, Holt has scored 1 goal in 5 games, Hoolahan has scored 3 goals in 31 appearances and Jackson has scored twice in 20 appearances, yet they receive no boos, or negative support. For some reason, a lot of fans have it in for Morison, and it needs to stop otherwise it will not only piss him off, it will piss off his teammates. We don't need negativity, especially as we have our most important and difficult season since Lambert arrived, next season.
Ferguson is the manager and has the right to critisice, and if he does feel the need to criticise, he will do it behind closed doors and not in public.
Football is all about opinions. For example I thought that our full-backs were shocking last weekend and Surman was dreadful. However I wouldn't have booed them but I may well have given it the odd "for goodness sake" (or, to be honest, something a little stronger) when seeing another ball passed into touch or when Blackburns forwards weren't marked. I defy anoyone to say they have never had the odd expletive pass their lips directed at one of their own following an error and you hear these low muttered groans every week around you in the crowd. For me this is acceptable but this is very, very different to the systematic booing of a player of a period of time which may make you feel a bit better but will do nothing for the player or the team. If you support your team, support them. If they f*ck up by all means have a moan or groan but then next time they have the ball give them a bit of support. All footballers are human and will resond positively to encouragement and negatively to criticism. Some, like Morrison, may be more sensitive than others but they are like the rest of us. I have no doubt that if Morrison continues to be singled out he will not give 100% if he feels unappreciated (just like any of us regardless of his substantial salary) and will probably leave as soon as possible.
Ferguson is an employee not a supporter. Supporters are the only constant at a club and have every right. And if he does it behind closed doors, how do we know he's done it?
We don't need to know if he's been critisised do we? If we find out he has, certain fans will feel they even more of a right to have a go.
a football fan may be the only constant at a football club, but they are not the ones who run the club and make the decisions. yes we pay our money but that is our choice. the manager is the only one who can decide who needs a boot up their backside and who needs an arm round their shoulder and who deserves praise. the fans are there to support the players and the club - that is their role. the second fans take it upon themselves to start trying to influence a managers decisions or decide who should be bought and sold you will lose that manager. and i'm not very keen on losing ours to be honest...
If they fluffed their lines everytime I went then yes, and I wouldn't expect them be there very long. By the way I'm totally ****ed off with the I love Morison click on here, he's NOT doing his job...period. I don't understand why people like you want me to applaud someone who consistantly fails at his job, he's had enough time to put it right, but he never does, and you want me to applaud that? It's you lot who I don't believe are real fans, with your blah blah blah give him a chance attitude. I dont believe you're a real fan! Yes I have heard of bullying in the work place, I manage about 70 people, they have to do their jobs on a daily basis or the team doesn't function, they get enough chances to put things right if they stray or don't achieve, it's then up to them to put it right, if they don't then their jobs are at risk. Get real we are carrying him and he needs to know that. ILD OTBC
The manager will know well before the fans if they're performing badly and he will try and sort it out. The manager won't do this by having a go at the player. Otherwise it will knock his confidence even more.

Once again superman, you're preaching your view as if it's the only one that matters, other people have different views, it doesn't mean they're wrong or need preaching at. I'm beginning to think you've lost your grip on reality and seem to living in a one dimension universe. ILD OTBC
ILD, i genuinely believe you are one of the worst fans this club has. there, i said it. happy now? wonky, you are quite right. and frankly, who the hell would want to be managed by ILD with his attitude...
Whats he going to then Wonky, give him a hug and a kiss. I agree with your first line though, I suppose thats why Morison is now a 3rd or 4th choice striker. ILD OTBC
If players perform consistently poorly then maybe they deserve critisisim (But not booing). Morrison hasn't played poorly consistently.
That's exaggerating it a bit but the manager would find out what's causing the drop in performances and look to support him. As has been said all he may need is an arm round the shoulder. These players are human beings they have ups and downs like everybody else.
I don't disagree with that Wonky, but how much longer does it go on for, he's a grown man after all, do you have someone at work putting an arm round your shoulder if you have a off day or 3 or 4, I guess not, so I don't quite get that senario. Off to see my director for a cuddle now! ILD OTBC
DM, ????????? Yes he has! That's why people are booing him! Which I don't agree with. (The booing that is)! ILD OTBC
