Everything I hate about Tony McMahon

[PokerBlade]

Neatly summed up near the end. His team's losing the game, desperate to recover some pride or even find a way back into the game. What's McMahon up to? He's wasting 30 seconds because it's more important to him that he steals 3 inches on a corner and makes the game, just for a moment, about him being a total bellend. Forget about the re-take getting turned in, for him it's all about how much of a twat he can manage to be.

Tony McMahon is a rags to riches story. Maybe a dick. But the shit that poor lads had to put up with, i'll not critic too much. Still a great bit of business selling him to Blackpool

 

[Small Mendonca]

Hated him when he was at the Lane and still hate him now.

Tony McMahon is a rags to riches story.

I've done a search on this to no avail. Did McMahon have a rough upbringing?

 

[Ben_1982]

Complete prick who i can't stand

For his first few months at Bramall Lane I thought he was our exotic foreign star from New Zealand. I was disappointed to find out he was from Bishop Auckland, County Durham, not Auckland.

Odd one wasn't he? Remember Middlesbrough supporters being gutted he was leaving them. And they thought he should be their first choice right back. Even many Wednesday supporters were shocked we'd managed to bring him.

But he was... well.... shit.

Seems we've had a great deal many players in recent years coming in with huge reputations, only to fall flat on their arses.

Isn't he a stone lighter than he was at Bramall Lane?

Like him or loathe him, he is a key man for Bradford, takes corners, free kicks and organises them a lot. Apparently he attends U-21 games and is very involved with the management at the club.

Disgraceful yesterday. When Sharp was "helping him up" together with some verbals he hit him in the nuts twice. WUM he is and it's part of his game that he puts in for the team. He doesn't hope to win popularity contests, just the game. Nobody would ever say he didn't care in his time at the Lane and he always traded yellow cards for winding up the opposition and trying to stimulate his own players by getting things going. Some players do just that.

Nasty piece of work with a gob on him who can take a set piece, all attributes managers like. Like him or hate him, he improves his side by disrupting the other - hence he's rarely off the field.

 

[MBoreman]

I love him, funny and good at winding people up. Wasn't a terrible player, just average, think an injury did him over.

 

[nicksufc]

Absolute twat, anyone see him gobbing off at some bloke on the Kop? He only exists to pick up about 13 bookings a season from arguing with people, such a poor player too.

I said at the game, I'd rather see one of our players go straight through McMahon than see a 4th goal.

That bit of placing the ball out of the quadrant is a deliberate ploy he did it in the first half.It's a tactic that does work sometimes as defenders can lose there man (concentration).Notts County scored from a similar corner last season.Our fans not to blame but there is always a reaction when the ball is outside the quadrant.Really what is actually gained by placing the ball outside the quadrant (couple of inches the angle doesn't change that much ) it's a tactic that does work sometimes and we fell for it.

If ever there was a prime candidate for an 'Iain Hume Special'......

 

[1danewhitehouse]

Don’t know his back story but he always comes across as a full weight bellend when he steps foot on the football pitch. Was just hoping he’d get himself sent off to cap a great day.

The ones in the first half reminded me of the meltdown Barney had the other week with goalkeepers handball, whilst the ball was definitely not even touching the line there was some of it overhanging the line so therefore not entirely out of the quadrant. Think he did it just to get a reaction off the fans as he seems to thrive on that sort of thing
