McGeady and the fans exchange at FT

[Norwich Red n White]

Get rid he’s utter shit

We wouldn't have a team if we got rid of all the shit ones.

 

[Fletch]

Amazing how many people have such strong views but weren’t there! He hit a ball first time out of the air which didn’t find its target, frustrated fans reacted and shouted some abuse. McGeady reacted and gave some back. At the end he walked over and said “sorry I was wrong “. He shook hands with the fan and they had a chat for a minute or so....much bigger things to worry about. Plenty of players didn’t even acknowledge the fans.

if true then its a non story

we have far bigger worries

With the exception of O Nien, the whole lot needs the boot.

The keepers are ok,some of the others look like they care but you can't carry one or two passengers in any game and hope to win.

You mean the “M” clique? I heard there were 5

Yes was told 5 on Saturday. I mentioned

The players liked and respected Ross. You don't have to be a master tactician to see the effect him leaving the club has had. There has been nothing positive since Ross left.

Its written all over the players body language and also the results and 'performances'. Prepare for further cheap replacements to our better players in January and a continuation of a steep and steady decline.

He’s human and can react. Tough shit if he said something back. Good might show some fight and bottle

More than he has shown on the pitch all season.

Thanks for clearing it up mate.

Didn’t Kevin Ball tell a Sunderland fan to fuck off at a recent talk-in?

We've been saying it to you for years!

 

[poisson]

Told fans to fuck off apparently, obviously will have been getting some stick

You must be logged on to see media items

If fans give stick they should accept it back. Its not right as such but when a player bites back of course he shouldn't be sacked. This lad played with a broken foot last year, so he obviously cares.

Good on him.

You must have been next to me- 3rd row from front with 2 young lads. it was pretty "intimate " and we could hear the players and they could hear us- He did mess up a couple of minutes before the end and a few did shout " fuck off , you're shit " which at that time, although justified was probably not the best thing to do - we were all massively frustrated though after seeing the worst ever display i have ever seen. At the end he did mouth off a little but did apologise and a bit of a chat.

we have now sunk to levels never seen before.

 

[Mackemjmc]

I doubt it

Half a million quid a year might soften the blow for him though!

Pack your bags Aidan lad - ya're shite anyway.

So is the fans who travel to the far end of the country on a freezing night to watch a no show. Tough shit if the fans had a go at him, it's long overdue. These players think they can put no effort in and we should accept it.

We wouldn't have a team if we got rid of all the shit ones.

But we would be rid of the shit which are stinking this club out.

 

[Chewit]

Has completely downed tools now ross has left and if we being honest he had been poor for a bit even before that. Doesn’t matter how good a player you are anyway if you do that to the fans you should be nowhere near the team.

says he apologised on the twitter feed. If heat of the moment exchange and shook hands, we should move on.
Doesn’t change fact he’s not playing very well

i hope this goes as far as the original tweets about him...

Agreed, if his attitude changes then the apology means something but if he continues to play like he couldn't give a fuck then its empty words.

'frustrated fans reacted and shouted...then he shook hands with the fan'.Doesn't add up.

 

[Rik-Safc]

Let's shout shit at our players until they feel the need to tell us to fuck off. That'll end well for everyone

 

[Guinness Guzzler]

Don’t blame him. Personal abuse shouldn’t be acceptable

To be fair I wouldn't really count "that was f***ing shit McGeady" as personal abuse so not sure it warranted a "fuck off" reply, but McGeady is no doubt frustrated so I can understand him snapping. The fact he went across, discussed it and shook hands reflects well on him so you'd hope that's the end of it. It suggests he cares, let's hope he shows that with some good performances over the next weeks/ months

I have to honestly say that last night most of them did actually try- the fact that they lack ability and confidence made that effort worthless. At school my team was shit and none of us had ability but we tried so no one took the piss. Last night we were running around just with no skill and did appear to have no direction. Is it a record that the only shot on target was their goal ! f***ing dismal,dismal night. The only glimmer of hope is Taylor !
