No, I said supporters who boo their own players / manager are twats. You go to Old Trafford to support your team regardless of how shit they are.

In your opinion yes, but to label anyone a twat for being of a differing opinion is wrong. I see nothing wrong with it & it's part of the game, fans voicing their opinions. Not blindly clapping a sub standard performance and numerous other such performances. Imagine if no one ever complained, where would the world be?

 

[AlwaysRedwood]

As in my post above, what's the point? What does it achieve? I'd love to know what possesses people to act like such twats. Do you think he doesn't realise he is having a bad game?

I've never booed a player but it's disingenuous to act like he was booed for having bad game rather than a shit career at United. It's just one more nail in the coffin and after a shit team performance, the one player everyone seems to be in agreement isn't up to United standards was booed. It's not really hard to figure out why. They booers are done with him as a United player.

 

[mufcwarm92]

You referred to supporters as twats for rightly booing a player. I'd say that was a tad harsh. A twat would make personal comments at him for not playing well. He was simply boo'd if he can't take that then he'd need to look at what he does for a living. Paid very well to perform in front of a crowd & has done very little to show he's capable for a long time now! Go to a lot of performances & watch it suck lemons, you'll get people who boo, doesn't make them twats it is simply a way of showing displeasure.

Booing opposition players and chanting about them is part and parcel of the modern game. Booing your own players is out order. It does indeed make them twats and it serves absolutely no purpose other than probably making them play worse.

Again though, what does it achieve? It's the logic of a simpleton. The only possible outcomes are negative.

 

[buckooo1978]

I feel sorry for him getting booed yesterday

He's a limited player on a big wage - that's not his fault and he tried hard yesterday

Time to move him on ....

 

[mic.m]

how much would it cost to release him? We are better off paying him to leave like Westham did with benni Mcarthy

 

[buckooo1978]

Liverpool did well to get rid of Stewart Downing

I'd let him go for 5-10 million - he'd need to take a pay cut or perhaps we would end up topping up his wage

Think someone like West Ham, Sunderland, Stoke might be interested in him

 

[Freak]

He deserves the booing. Fans are tired of his performances, and when you can't even do a basic thing like looking up and getting a decent cross in then you're not doing what you're being paid to do. Just get him out of the club in the summer.

Telling him to feck off.

 

[buckooo1978]

I've never been booed in my place of work but I imagine it would have more of a detrimental effect on my performance and put me under more pressure

I think fans who boo are pathetic in the case of players who lack the ability but not the effort

You couldn't say he didn't try yesterday Freak?

I think he needs to be moved on but booing him is hardly gonna achieve that - be a supporter

 

[mufcwarm92]

Telling him to feck off.

And you honestly think that might be the result of it? He knows he's playing badly, so does the manager. He's low on confidence. Only thing it will do is further knock his confidence. Such flawed logic. Plus, of course, everyone around you will think you're a twat.

Exactly. It's one of my pet hates in football. He's a player who can clearly be criticised for his performance, but he's never fallen short on effort.

 

[gasmanc]

Can't say I was happy with the booing but the sentiment was correct, time to move on I think, Aston Villa or Newcastle.

Booing your own players is not part of the game, it's shit like this that's killing the atmosphere at the OT. It's the Ashley Young thread so I'm not going to derail it, there's one on booing here.

 

[Hamadovich86]

I dont like it when fans are booing their own players but honestly I just dont want to see him in a United shirt anymore. There are so many better/cheaper options than him, I think he makes that kind of money at United only because he is English.

 

[united_99]

Who cares if he was booed? He is being paid £ 120.000 per week, if as a footballer for United he can't even get himself to look up before he crosses, then he deserves to never play again for us!

I couldn't care less if he seems to be trying or not. If he really is trying, then why not sit for 5 mins, think about what he is doing wrong, and work on it? How difficult is it to learn to look up before crossing??

All over the footballing world footballers get booed. They have to deal with it! A section of Bayern fans booed Robben in a friendly between Bayern Munich and The Netherlands in the Allianz Arena which was played a few days after the CL final 2012. Because Robben missed the pen against Chelsea and generally didn't have his best game. He also missed a pen in a decisive league game against Dortmund a few weeks before the CL final 2012. Now that's harsh to boo him for that, but they did. Guess what? He stayed strong and helped them to the treble the following year.

 

[togg]

Does anyone really believe, that with United being arguably the most supported club in the world, with a status as certainly being one of the top five that Ashley Young should really be starting for matches in a United team? I mean seriously? If so...then we should start reconsidering ourselves as a mid-table team with outside ambitions of making the top five each season. Total waste of a good position...sorry

 

[saivet]

He's not good enough but booing your own players gains absolutely nothing and frankly, is quite unsavory. I hope he is sold in the summer but Young doesn't deserve a booing. He's not thrown his dummies out of the pram and asked to leave, he's not said something idiotic. All he's done is try hard (despite that not being very good) and he's dived quite a lot.

 

[Ducklegs]

He has dropped off a cliff since he signed for us.

For Villa he was always a pacy dynamic forward thinking player with an eye for goal who was capable of playing across the forward line.
He was great at free kicks, could finish, could beat a man.

Here he just looks like a player who wants it all to end, to be fair he needs to be shipped out as he is finished for us.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Surely, he won't be at the club next season? We should include that in Van Gaal's contract.

 

[Eric'sCollar]

Unfortunately Young's contract will keep him at the club until it runs out. United can't sell him.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Can't we sell him and pay the differential wages till his contract would have run out with us? Or break the contact and pay him whatever we have to. Big wages and game time for a player like him at a club like ours is laughable

 

[Ducklegs]

There will be plenty of clubs that will take him on, we just won't get a lot for him.

 

[Eric'sCollar]

It's his decision. Go and play at a lower club or go through the motions at United and collect a massive wage. He is going to stay here for as long as he possibly can.

 

[LR7]

Booing any of our players is pathetic, but I honestly hope I never have to see Ashley Young in a Manchester United shirt ever again. He's f*cking woeful. He tries his best but he's just completely shit. His passes are all backwards to the fullback or CM and his crosses are all aimless punts that he simply pumps into the box without lifting his head up for a second to see where his teammates are. He's so out of his depth it's untrue. He's an extremely limited player and the quicker we get him off our books the better.

 

[Kakeru]

Too bad that buying out a contract is not something that can be done in football unlike in other sports.

 

[SolidState]

LVG will absolutely hate this joke of a player. He is harmful to the team, his aimless overhit crosses actually effect morale and the crowd after the 15th one sails off into the crowd.

I have to say I don't think I've seen a worse player in the entire prem this season he's been that bad. Literally the worst player I've ever seen in a united shirt.

 

[Nozzy]

United will not only be held to ransom bringing players in but also we'll be extorted, trying to offload them. Who would pay over £5m for Young, Valencia or Nani? Anderson will either stay or be given away. We may get a million for Buttner, £2m if we sold Lindegaard?

Carrick & Fletcher have little transfer value after the season we've seen them have & Carrick will be on big money. If you want to see the back of them, don't expect more than £5m for the pair.

We're getting zip if the three defenders leave, we know that much which, will possibly lead to them staying, for another, CL free season.

 

[Nate Dogg]

Hope the first thing LVG does is cancel Young entry card to Carrington and then puts him on the transfer list.

Did you never see Djemba Djemba play? Bellion? Prunier? Obertan?

We've had quite a few worse players. He's a decent winger who played out of his skin in his first season, is just short of the level of United and looks much worse now that he's in such dire form.

 

[Sixpence]

Again though, what does it achieve? It's the logic of a simpleton. The only possible outcomes are negative.

Are you his agent? You seem to be getting very wound up about this. Go have a lie down.

 

[iBoss]

Him and Downing have the same mentality. When Downing went through on goal vs Spurs yesterday he had no intention of taking a shot. He was happy for someone to touch him so he could fall over and avoid the possibility of missing. Young should be playing at a club similar to West Ham. He should be the first one sold this summer.

Agreed. Both are absolute cowards.

 

[Carl]

Head down, run in circles, give it away.

Ashley Young.

 

[Zak Smith]

Some of his crosses were decent yesterday, in fact he provided more quality in that regard than Nani or Januzaj when he came on. Other players, Carrick and Jones whipped in good crosses and nobody was there as usual. Anyone booing Young off yesterday was a disgrace to the club, it's embarrassing behaviour. One day the club may fall on real bad times, and players like Ashley Young may be the best we can afford as a club. I bet those supporters will be nowhere near then. I wonder how many booing yesterday had his name on the back of their shirts a few seasons ago. It was the same with Fellaini when I was at the City game, and I couldn't help but think how many of the twats had bought those Fellaini wigs only 6 months previously.

 

[lilcurt]

Awful awful player, looks worse than ever this season.

 

[footballgirl07]

Not just with Young but a number of players have done this, this season, but why when there is a quick or simple pass to a team mate, they just stand on the ball and take so many unnecessary touches of the ball. Multiple times Young could of played in Evra on the left or a quick in field ball to Mata.

 

[shaggy]

Did you never see Djemba Djemba play? Bellion? Prunier? Obertan?

Fixed.
