Think they applauded him in response to some boos and whistles when he came on.
Booing achieves nothing positive whatsoever and can piss off more than just the player it is aimed at.

I disagree that booing achieves nothing. I've seen it work before my very eyes, numerous times.

When?
The players are telling you it has a negative affect and it damages confidence. Think I will go with them on this.

2006. Drew Bledsoe jettisonned from starting place as QB for the Dallas Cowboys after a long string of dreadful displays while being actively booed by fans with many chanting rabidly for Tony Romo to get a chance to start. Romo comes in mid-game and become starter for the next decade and becomes an all-star QB and one of the best in franchise history.
It's a different sport (American football) but the point remains the same. Yeah, we the fans were hurting our QB's confidence, but we made good, positive change and you'd be hard pressed to find a fan or player who will argue against the decision now and many even block the booing out of memory.

That is nothing alike and is no reason to see booing players on the pitch as anything but a negative and the players are telling you that.
It was more than likely his level of play that got him replaced and not the jeering anyway.

The players are obviously not going to encourage such behavior but there's no way Pique is going to give a fuck about fans booing this time next season if Gomes is (Hopefully) sold this summer.
And I'd say it was a combination of both the jeering and his poor performances. The *exact* scenario people hope for with Gomes, so I don't see how they're nothing alike.

These guys get paid way to much to let boos affect them.
I'm glad Gomes had a good game but this board and the fanbase wanted to kill him a few weeks ago for his obviously bad play. We can't pretend he is some innocent victim being bullied by the fanbase.

I can understand the booing,this is 98K stadium or something like that and Gomes has been dreadful and the shit show he had against PSG 1st game was one of the reasons for such booing,fans seen club humiliated and they knew he was the worst player and also had the chance to equalize early in the game which would have totally changed everything.
I don't agree with it,at least not with a player who doesn't have attitude problem. And I agree with Jam that it isn't productive. But it will happen and while players/coaches should always stand with each others and reject it when it happens the fact is that there is no way to prevent it unless your team is winning every trophy they play in.

Has absolutely nothing to do with money though. If anything the money could increase the pressure.
Nothing do with him being an 'innocent victim' either. Looks like he knows has not been good enough but during games Barca are trying to win there is nothing to be gained from booing the players even if fans have the right to do it.

My hometown team Halmstad beat Helsingborg (coached by the god of Helsingborg and Sweden Henrik Larsson) during last season which sent Helsignborg down from the top division Allsvenskan and sent Halmstad back up to Allsvenskan, after the game some fans stormed the pitched and ripped off the shirt of a Helsingborg player, one fan even tried to punch him in the face. The player was Jordan Larsson son of Henrik Larsson (neither of them stayed in their hometown club after that)
A player from my hometown team scored an own goal last year which sent the team down from the top division, he and his family got death threats sent to them even his child who was 5 or something at the time. My hometown club is a small club, has like 3000-4000 people per game if we are lucky.
AIK supporters have been known to storm the training grounds of the first team demanding answers for their current bad forms or other questions they have, even going as far as threatening players, coaches and other club staff which results in people leaving the club fearing for their life.
Football in the north is as crazy as everywhere else. That kind of behaviour is something i will never support, booing and otherwise harassing players, coaches, other fans or club staff is something REAL supports do not do IMO. Sure its a big step from booing to threatening players but still just childish mentality IMO.
FYI Sell Gomes he does not fit BARCA

Rejoice. He's staying one more season, as per the interview Robert is giving right now. Link with translation in his thread.

He said that Laudrup and Koeman struggled at the beginning too.
Quite an odd comparison to make.

As long as it's only booing I don't see any problem to be honest, if it doesn't escalate outside the pitch or to personal attacks, then it's fine...
Obviously players don't like being booed and they will try to paint it as a negative thing and protect themselves from it, but I think fans are perfectly allowed to show their opinion on a player... The players request support, but in turn they have to give something back, and Gomes has given absolutely nothing to deserve any other thing than boos...
Fans in the stadium can't simply go to the player and kindly point his mistakes, so the only thing they can do to show disappointment is booing, they are paying customers and are in their right to show discontent... That doesn't make them any less loyal to the club...
I mean, I would boo Bartomeow out of office if I could...
