Indeed, booing players is laughable.

Rob's column is always spot on. Much better than 99% of the E&E's journalism.

Is it ok to boo players from visiting teams, as I do that a lot?:$

Yeah, it's always a good read. Glad they post it online :).

Only if it doesn't inspire them a la the ridiculous chanting at BWP.

I tend to boo players when they do this:

I tend also to boo refs who only deem those sort of assaults as yellow card offences. Or worse, two occasions against Leyton Orient:

Case 1: City are amazingly 2-0 up through Paul Read (!) and Graeme Power's free kick (!). The Leyton Orient keeper punts the ball upfield, drifting out to the touchline on the right. Power and Carl (SPIT!!!) Griffiths go up for the ball, only Griffiths isn't going for the ball at all and instead clatters into Power, leaving him to be stretchered off the pitch with a suspected broken neck. The ref, instead of stopping the match to ring the police to have Griffiths arrested for assault, let alone just a red card, awards...a throw in to Leyton Orient.

Case 2: City are trying desperately to get back to 1-1 (having had two perfectly good goals disallowed and seeing Orient given a goal that was so far offside as to be in the next county), our best moves being through James Coppinger. Copps bursts from midfield, rounds a couple of defenders and as he's about to burst into the box is taken out in a horror challenge that leaves him with a suspected broken ankle. The ref gives a goal kick and states "He tackled himself and broke his own ankle".

Sorry, do carry on. Booing players of one's own team - bad form an' all that.
