Quinn

[United Aren't Back.]

Stephen Quinn began the season quite well but he was rather poor from around end of October, he still looks inept, hesitant and slow. He seems to think hes the boss but he is evidently believing his own publicity.
Any thoughts?

I bet he likes mature cheddar.

what makes you think he is believing his own publicity and he's the boss ? Hesitant and slow ...yeah right. My thoughts ? I think you must be on a wind up .

 

[manksitheblade]

i thought he was great today, really kept play going even in the second half lul when all the others seemed fed up and tired of not been able to get ahead surely this is a wind up?

No. A wind-up is when you suggest dropping part of a well-oiled midfield, playing attractive, effective football and winning as a matter of routine, in favour of a non-footballer.

That's a wind-up.

I think 'a wind up' is when you kid yourself so much that a player of past glory who has the movement of a crab that you post so much about said player and try to continually convince others of his quality, is better than one who consistently gets in the side under different managers and nearly always tries to get the ball and himself forward to create attacking options for his team and in the process satifying his manager.

Quinn is top of the division's assist charts with 11 so he must be doing something right.

 

[SwissBlade]

Where is bywater in those charts?

 

[Paddys Cough]

Haha 2nd!!!!!

Really can't understand the persistent criticism of Quinn on this forum. At most other clubs he'd be a fan's favourite. Is it the colour of his hair that't the problem? Cos that's what's always mentioned on threads like this. It certainly can't be a problem with his efforts on the pitch. He always plays like he gives a f**k and amazingly has even been criticised for that!
I think my favorite Quinn-bashing thread has to be when after relegation he said in an interview (after being asked a specific question about his future) that he didn't want to leave. Someone here turned it into "Greedy Quinn looking for a transfer" !!

 

[SwissBlade]

Some people like to bash him and they were probably the same ones that were singing his name earlier this season. Same for Ched

God forbid Macca has a bad game

 

[flash-blade]

Quinn is kack, end of

Putting "end of" at the, well, end of a sentence doesn't make it true.

For example - Quinn is a Mexican, end of.

See?

 

[diplomat]

Quinn is okay. Fact.

no i thought a wind up was using someone's opinion as an insult as-if it denies them an opinion because they disagree even if it has nothing to do with anything being discussed at the time but i must be mistaken because you dont agree i guess?

 

[super_pig]

he has a tendency to over elaborate at times and retake players he has already got past.. also he goes for hollywood passes when a simple one will do.. we know you are way below your level here stephen.. you have nothing to prove.. keep it simple

That's the issue for me. I think he's a good player, he's just REALLY frustrating at times. At 2/3-0 it's not a problem, but at 0-0 yesterday he was trying to force the issue a bit too much instead of remaining patient and waiting for the opportunity.

 

[BexleyBlade]

Think he's finding his form again now. After that well-publicised dip before Christmas it's been a long time coming but he's now starting to show us what he can offer again.

his form is returning and its at the best possible time i thought he was probably our strongest player (not the best, has to be macca) yesterday simply as he kept the game going even in that lul at about 60min?
but he is not showing his true footballing form yet

Really can't understand the persistent criticism of Quinn on this forum.

It's certainly not just here, in fact in the past it's been more the opposite.

Someone on John Street was abusing him early in the second half on Saturday and he turned round and told them to fuck off. He's just one of those that will always be targeted regardless of form, probably more down to the fact he's one of the longest serving left at the club than anything.

Like you say, his effort can't be faulted, whatever people say about his demeanor, the stats back up the fact he covers a lot of ground. He's also chipped in with plenty of assists this year. Better leaving the corners to Flynn though

Good on him.


There will be some who say "Ah, but we pay his wages." That's true, but if you go to see a comedian and heckle him he'll probably give you some verbal back, unless he's a mardy bugger like Billy Connolly. And you've paid to see them.

So Quinn gobbed off at someone who abused him? Fair enough.

 

[Pinchy]

Effort, however misguided, however ineffective always ranks above quality, doesn't it?

Occasionally I think our fans are finally seeing the light, then...

I can understand Monty, however I can't work out if you like Quinn or not? Highest assists in the division.. the only thing we need to do with Quinn is ensure he doesn't take corners and free kicks! Unless someone can tell me who we have better than Quinn to play left wing in the squad?

 

[JohnDenver]

Good on him.

More cause to like this division. Quinn does that in the Prem and it's on MOTD that night and all over the papers on Sunday...

Who was the United player from days of yore who leathered some bloke in the crowd after he caught some abuse? I wish some of the pituitary retards sat near me could be introduced to Harry McGuire's right hook.

Does that explain his assists?

I'm perfectly happy with Quinn. I used to be highly critical of him when he was "Elpiton" but thankfully that phase seems to be behind him now we've got a manager who believes in proper football. I was particularly pleased when he roundly criticised Quickfix Mickey and the Former Semi-Pro, Non-League, Reserve Keeper for their style of play which, he said, had damaged his game and set back his career. Most of you chose to ignore it, I recall.

My comments were aimed not at the player, but those of you who continue to prefer committed mediocrity to talent. There are still an unhealthy number out there, despite Dr. Wilson's elixir. Slugger is an obvious example, but there are others.

Do you claim to have the greater knowledge on football than most Blades fans? Or perhaps your postings on here are you trying to convince yourself that you see a more enlightened style of football than the posters on here and wish to try and put other posters down for some form of self gratification?
When the other managers were incharge, you didnot once come on here and defend Quinn but instead you chose to give him a stupid name and blame him for lots of wrong within our football at the time. How frustrating it must have been for the player to have to carryout his managers instructions and get slated for it on this forum in such a personal way by one poster who never even considered the posibility that he was far more adaptable than you saw.
Rather narrow minded that is and maybe not so enlightened after all.

As I said, there are others. Did you agree with Quinn's condemnation of the style of play inflicted on us by Quickfix Mickey and the Former Semi-Pro Goalie? I did, and said so. There was an embarrassed silence from most of you.

That's exactly what I thought 30 seconds before the 2nd goal on saturday.

United were keeping the ball at the back but not showing any attacking intent, there was audibly increasing moaning from plenty around me because the ball wasn't going forward. Fast forward a half a minute and the ball is in the net after we were PATIENT in finding attacking opportunities.

Ball retention beats direct channel balls because the decision to attack is based on space to play, not simply areas of the field.

Years of direct play has got us as a fanbase used to regular forward balls if nothing has opened up in midfield, bucking the trend like we are clearly doing and keeping the ball is great, but after a certain length of a passage of play there's still a big proportion of United fans who get impatient at the apparant lack of forward progress.

We've faced quite a few teams this year at home who have made life difficult for us for a while, but we've been patient, kept the ball, tired teams out and taken our opportunities when we can.

It's a massive breath of fresh air watching United these days, people just need to get used to that patient approach after years of expecting direct play.
