Now, I've been as critical as anyone about Quinny's recent performances, but booing him on to the pitch?! what's all that about!

What are we turning into? Perhaps I was too young to notice it, but i'm sure the blades never used to turn on their own so readily.

The bloke has just stepped onto the pitch, wearing the red and white, only to be met with a chorus of boos? Pathetic.
 

Totally wrong to do that!

He has been pretty poor recently but booing him onto the pitch is awful.
 
He should never have been on the pitch in the first place. He wouldn't have been booed then...

Perhaps so, but he's entering the field of play wearing a blades shirt.

I wouldn't have started Howard either, but he was better today.
 
Agree 100%.

Disgraceful behaviour.

What exactly are the booers tring to achieve? We have a decent solid 2-0 win, so why boo a player onto the pitch? Are they purposely trying to reduce the morale of the squad?

I'm the same - I think Quinn has been poor the back and of last season and shows no sign of much improvement, but booing a lad onto the pitch wearing the red and white is a joke. Tbh it put a dampener on the end of a decent win for me.
 
I agree, I don't think Quinn should be in the starting line up and this was justified by the midfield's performance today.

However there may come a time when he is called upon and Quinn appears to be a confidence player so those who booed are doing the club no favours. :thumbdown:

He was brought on to allow a player who scored on his debut to receive his ovation.

Sadly, more people were concerned with booing to bother clapping Evans off.
 
Echo everything in this thread. Really hope Quinny didn't hear it.

Oh, and I wish people would stop booing Keith Treacy too.

:D That made me laugh... someone round me who I've never seen before looked perplexed "He didn't do anything wrong? Why are they booing?"

The penny might drop for them later... I have a feeling it may not though!
 
Quinn is a worse footballer than 'our gert' and shud be got rid of pronto.
Does 'cheap as chips' realise this ?

booing the Blades is disgusting...... out of order.
 
Last season quinn did ok give the guy a chance he has age on his side.

You don't boo your own players, and I think he did hear it because at final whistle he was first off the pitch with his head down.

First thing I said when we signed Treacy was a big loud Keeeeeeef!
 
The main issue I have with quinny is that the lad has clearly got talent, but we rarely get to see it. I have noticed that he doesn't listen to anyone on the pitch, I frequently see the likes of morgs and killa and sometimes even Blackwell tell him what to do, but he just ignores the instruction and focuses on the ball like my dog does when I'm holding a treat,

I've always been a supporter of Quinn because I know deep down that he can do it, it's just a shame for the last 18 months he hasnt. Booing him is disgraceful though and if you were one of those booers, I will NEVER see you as a true blade. Anyone remember Ian Hamilton? one of the worst players in a utd shirt i've seen and he was booed off against Grimsby and it practically finished the lads career, he never played for us again and quickly dropped down the leagues, that is wrong!
 
I think we should cheer and clap every single player who trots onto the pitch wearing a Blades shirt. We have no right to vent our frustrations and feel upset when our highly paid players let us down. When the manager gets it wrong we should chair him round the ground on our shoulders and raise the roof with raucous songs about his greatness.

I can't beleive some of us were upset after the play off defeat, call ourselves fans? :rolleyes:

Get a grip, we have some dross and we should let the manager know that we aren't happy with that, not that it makes any difference but far better than sitting there like a bunch of seals with smiles more beaming than a Jehova's Witness convention.

Sorry that's a load of crap.

Boo a player after a bad performance and I can understand you. Be upset after the playoff final? Yep massively. Vent our frustrations about bad performances - always.

Boo a player ON to the pitch and you belong somewhere other than Bramall Lane. How did SQuinny let us down today?
 
"Booing him is disgraceful though and if you were one of those booers, I will NEVER see you as a true blade."

Only ever booed Nick Montgomery in over 40 years of watching the Blades, but I'd back myself to be as big a Blade as you sunshine. None of us have the right to question how much of a "true Blade" we are so give it a rest and stop being holier than thou.

Players are human, not robots... humans don't always respond well to a collective of criticism, if everytime I did something wrong at work, my bosses lambasted and hammered me for it, I'd leave. I'd much rather they support me and try and correct the problem. Collective booing can do nothing but damage performance. We see the player for an hour and a half every week whereas the management staff see them day in day out for 10 months a year, I'd rather support the team and let the manager decide what's best for the team on what he sees in training
 
"Sorry that's a load of crap"

Apologies, shut off after that :thumbdown:

True.

No point bringing him on either for 1 minute.

As stated elsewhere in this thread, I think the point was to allow Evans an ovation from the home crowd on his debut. This isn't an unusual thing to happen, and a supporter with a modicum of sense who has truly turned up to SUPPORT the team would recognise this common action and react accordingly. Instead some turn up with the sole intent of venting their spleen and are totally ignorant to what unfolds before their eyes. I can hear so many before they even got to the ground:

'If that f***ing Quinn gets on the pitch today, I'm booing the useless B****rd!'

What lovely way to recognise the debut of our new £3m forward. I'm sure he's very impressed!

I wasn't questioning anyone, merely making a statement of how I perceive booers.

It's nothing to do with cheering or clapping. He's been dire of late, so it'd be difficult to clap his contribution.

No matter how well they are paid, he came onto the pitch wearing the red and white, that makes him a blade. As crap as he's been, why does he deserve to be booed on? What is booing him on going to achieve?

The manager dropped him for performing poorly. He then brought him on for a minute, with the intention of giving Evans a standing ovation with the added bonus of perhaps giving Quinny a slight flicker of confidence after being booed off on Tuesday. Nobody said they were sat like seals and smiling. Although to be fair, I did have a smile on my face, the Blades were 2-0 up and cruising to victory.

Apologies for not wanting to boo and jeer one of our own, but merely applaud our new signing off the pitch and not crucify the man coming on. If that makes me a seal, fair do's.
 
I heard booing when his name was announced, even though he was named as a sub. Subs clapped, then when Quinny started his warm up i heard people shouting at him, then booed onto the pitch. No need at all.
 
For goodness sake, they're grown men getting paid a huge amount of money to kick a football around for 90/180 minutes a week. You could run on the pitch and kick me in the nads and it wouldn't make me sulk if I was living that lifestyle, just make me work harder so stop protecting the poor little pretty boys, if they were doing the business they wouldn't be getting stick, simple as.

One reason I woudn't kick you in the nads, is that you are a fellow blade. A theory which seems be have been forgotten amongst many.

They did the business today did they not? won 2-0?

Quinny didn't get the chance to put things right and do the business and yet still got booed onto the pitch. It's nothing to do with protecting him, it's embarrasing.
