Let the morons who boo their own players know how you feel. Good for you!

I know this has been done in the match thread but I think it needs to be talked about in its own thread. So it would seem that he was pretty pissed off with the east stand for just doing (mostly unsuccessfully) what he was told to do by the boss, couldn`t see the sign he gave to the crowd but it was clearly getting to him. he didn`t celebarate the goal and he almost sprinted off the pitch at the end shruuging aside anyone that tried to stop him, certainly makes you wonder if we`ve seen the last of him here because its not the behaviour you expect from a pro footballer.

One finger to the crowd. Personally I have no problem with it. Just passion.

+1, if you give it (crowd) then you gotta expect it back..

[Ian Royal]

ridiculous and pathetic behaviour from a bunch of spoilt twats in the crowd.

Everyone who booed should get their genitals cut off if there is any fallout from this in future games.

[knobby_1871]

fair play to Matt and shame on east stand morons who booed him

Agreed. How anyone can boo our best defender is beyond me.

To react to the crowd like that is a sign of mental weakness, there are plenty of morons in every football crowd so he better learn to control himself and concentrate on things like defending and being able to pass to a team-mate...otherwise he's going to get into bother

[West_Reading]

Why the hell was he getting booed?

[Super Kevin Bremner!]

Will see what kind of man Manager McD is now if Mills did swear at the crowd.

The normal thing to do would be to fine and drop him. A stronger thing to do would be to back him by keeping him in the team.

[toppy]

Why the hell was he getting booed?

I think

1) Kicked ball out for nth time while trying a long pass to wing
2) East stand groan/some boo
3) He give the finger
4) More booing
5) Other fans, clap cheer, chant name
6) We score
7) East stand chants his name...

[dean horrix legend]

Why the hell was he getting booed?

Every time he got the ball he was attempting the same pass,out wide to Kebe, one or two went astray. Maybe he did try it too often but there wasn't always a shorter ball on.

[RobRoyal]

That's surely a bit strong.

[PlasticRoyale]

Someone needs to remind him that we are English and use two fingers....disgraceful behaviour

[howser]

Hell its heart and passion an god knows we have been needing that for a while, good on yer Matt !

[rfcjoe]

Once again, another embarassing example of how shit and cringe worthy our 'support'/'supporters' are. Mills was looking for a pass everytime he got the ball, his head would go up, and look. He saw, Tabb and Sig too high up the field near our strikers, and no other positive options. He was doing the only thing positive which was look for a long pass - this is different to a "hoof", as so many of our football braindeads got confused with. A long pass is exactly what is says it is - a pass played over a long distance. A hoof is a aimlessly placed kick into the opposing half. Millsy is one of the best natural and athletic defenders we have had in a long time IMO, and we go and treat him like that? The Reading fans are a fcuking utter disgrace, and need to look up how supporting your team works. I am not condoning what Mills did to the crowd, but I think he was as bemused as I was, as to how the Reading fans were reacting. Since when have our fans been football fcuking purists? I don't want to go back to Brendan Rodgers tactics of pissing about with it at the back and creating fcuk all. I want to win games. Ugly or pretty, it doesn't bother me.

i thought the majority of booing came After he made his gesture. A pocket of fans booed his passing as he seemeed to try the same thing over and over which i guess can warrant a boo to highlight frustrations in play

[leww_rfc]

Most Consistent Centreback this season, Well done Mills, Shame on you fans who boo'd!

[Focher]

The booing was out of order, however....

His long balls were utterly atrocious, and for a professional footballer to give his own fans the middle finger is even more atrocious. Jimmy Kebe has taken that level of abuse for most of the season and risen above it, it shows how mentally fragile the bloke is. If he can't take it (and he should never have got it in the first place), then he should f off to league 2 where everyone else is so shit his long balls will look good.
