Despite being 4-1 up and cruising, Blair Sturrock is still greeting by boos from some in the South Upper when coming on as a late substitute.
I really do despair.

I think the booing was less about Sturrock and more that there would be no Moshni.

It doesn't bother me as much when it's kids. I remember when i was 16-17 and booed Ian Benjamin. Someone should have slapped me. What bothers me is when it's people who've watched enough football to know better.
Whilst I don't like any Southend player being booed, I think that PS is getting very close to showing obvious bias towards his own son. With the improved squad he is very low down the pecking order and is struggling to justify a place on the bench when we have Lee Sawyer & Jemel Johnson unable to get on it. As for Moshni not coming on I am baffled - if he is unfit to come on why have him on the bench as he was the obvious substitution up front or if he refused ala Tevez (which I find hard to believe) then he should never play for us again.
I think up he has definately given his own son more opportunities than some other players in the past, but now we are improving to a higher level of football and we have a number of good players waiting in the wings if he keeps picking his son for the bench/to come on, PS will have definately crossed the line. While some people might not like it, I can only see the booing/raising of eyebrows increasing. It's a shame as it's such a small issue, particularly if we sign Boli/another striker as he is unlikely to make the bench in the future and be offered out on loan.Tell me you're not serious!
