Pathetic fans booing Maguire

If you feel strongly enough to boo or insult someone you've never actually met in real life, because they aren't good enough in a sporting sense, then you need help in my opinion. If you boo or insult someone, again who you haven't met, who has have actually caused physical or sexual harm to someone then I will join in, even if they are our highest appearance maker or an excellent young player who knows where the goal is.

Harry Maguire isn't good enough to play for us imo but I have no malice towards the man. He's from Sheffield, probably grew up not liking us as a proud Yorkshireman would. He's shown nothing but respect to the club and has repeated how proud he was to be our captain and how proud he is to play for us.

Top level footballers are paid a fortune and have a life that millions would kill for, however, I can't think of many other platforms that can be more humiliating and hurtful. Being ridiculed 24/7 by fans of the club you play for aswell as the masses must be take its toll.
Pathetic mentality over here. I am honestly baffled how some of you can go through your daily lives without crying given what you deem an insult.
 
Him being booed is justified when he keeps making mistakes. But not when nothing is happening.
 
Some of you are taking this booing lark way too seriously.
Yep. It's a perfectly reasonable non-violent and non-abusive form of showing disapproval. Think some people just love to try to come across as angelic types who'll defend anyones honour to make themselves look good. Some perspective is needed me thinks
 
No, I am just not some Maguire arse-licker writing essays defending this fraud while pretending I don't rate him.
Are you calling me a Maguire arse licker? I've said I don't think he's good enough for the club but doesn't deserve the torrent of abuse he gets. Sort your head out lad.
 
Hopefully these boos will influence his decision

Please leave

He doesn't get a torrent of abuse though. It's just fair criticism because he's shit.

Your attitude and similar is what has allowed him to stay deluded for so long he somehow thinks he can fight for his spot because that idiot Southgate keeps picking him to play the Luxembourgs of this world (which also cost England in the WC).
 
I've never and will never boo a player of my team, I don't see what's to gain from it but I also believe you pay your money your entitled to your opinion wven if thats booing your own player although i disagree with it.
However it's very toxic now for Harry and imo he needs to leave united for himself to progress his career. It is clear for all to see he's finished in a united shirt. Its time to part ways and everyone to move on
 
He won't be booed again, because I geniually don't think he plays for us again regardless if he is stays.

So the boo actually helps the team by letting him know the fans dont want him anymore.

I hold a belief that for support and cheer to meant something it has to be earnt with the risk of jeers.

It's the always clap and support the players at all cost mentality has made our player weak post SAF. We used to have hairdryer now player like Maguire can chat shit as team captain, nothing to prove, while playing like a championship Charlie Chaplin.

Stop being so precious. We're after all football fans.

If Harry works at Starbucks would you cut him some slack and tip him if he kept on getting your order wrong?

Didn't know players could just pick and choose whether they play or not. We all know hes not good enough. The managers need to deal with it. He's a professional footballer ffs, he's not going to hand in a transfer request citing that he doesn't feel worthy enough.

Your taking what I said and stretched out what I said to suit your outlook.

1) I said I wouldn't boo our own player as I see nothing to be gained from it. That isn't the same as me saying you should clap and cheer bad bits of play or mistakes. I also would shout my displeasure eg WTF are you doing maguire. Because I feel you can be critical without resorting to booing

2) I also said I believe if you pay your money you are entitled to your opinion, if you feel like booing a single player in this case maguire then that's your perogative, it's just not what I would do.

3) I am not against booing the team as a collective, say after a 7 nil hammering. I just don't agree in booing individuals.

So at least try and read what I'm writing rather than adding on your bits in your head that in some way I'm saying we should ignore bad performances and even go as far as cheering and clapping it, that's just fabrication from you.
 
As far as I'm concerned he can do anything Wout did but better... but we now have Hojlund before we need to resort to that.

An actual striker getting all those minutes, awesome.
 
I think we have all seen enough, please leave and go somewhere where you will be liked.
 
Yeah, but I said that although I personally wouldn't boo him, I understand why others might. I think the whole booing thing has been wildly blown out of proportion, but some of the abuse directed at Maguire has been ridiculous, on a whole.

If there's a player that knows he's not wanted, then it's definitely Maguire. I think the criticism and people saying they want him gone is fair game, but some of the vitorial has been distasteful, to say the least. As I said, I don't like the bloke and want him gone, but it's the personal abuse that's gone too far.

Also @Cantonagotmehere

I personally won't boo him also. Although won't condemn the booing also. Each to their own I guess.

Watching this game against Bilbao, yeah. I come to realize more benefit of cheering for players like him. Looked like Maguire played better after fans' cheering overcame the booing. I think as fans, we all should want that.
 
England international being booed in Ireland is hardly shocking. Irish fans taking out their frustrations on being done over by the club on an easy target. He doesn’t help himself though to be honest.

Oh shut the feck up with that English in Dublin shit.
 
I'm old school and I think you should never boo one of your own players.

By all means go to the pub afterwards and say you think player x isn't good enough, needs to be moved on etc, but I just don't think it's the right thing to boo a player on your own team. Just my opinion
 
Yeah mate I'm Irish. But to insinuate that's why he was booed is fecking ridiculous.
Certainly makes it that bit easier for some hating the English especially with a player that plays better for his country. It’s hardly surprising he was booed in Ireland.
 
Booing is pathetic.
I feel bad for Maguire and I hope he salvages his career.
 
The Irish hate the English so much they turned up in their thousands to support an English team... and also thousands od Irish United fans travel across to Manchester for every home game just to really underline their English hating credentials.

Get a fecking grip. So Irish fans paid to go watch the club they support - an English team - to boo an English player, because he's English. But, somehow he was literally the only English player booed out of 4 or 5.

Or, was it a case that it was a very specific player that was booed; a player that was also booed in the USA? So, basically nothing to do with history/politics.

Same. As quickly as possible and as far away as possible from Manchester United and all this pathetic fishing for sympathy every time someone says boo to him.

The furore about him being booed is ludicrous. Players on the continent get it so much worse.

Maybe I’m wrong, it has been known, and if I am then I apologise. Just seems to be a lot of hatred aimed at the English national team from Irish fans and I could have put two and two together and made five. Like I mentioned the fact he plays better for England than Utd doesn’t help his cause.

Of course you're wrong. He was booed in the USA too. A hell of a-lot of fans are totally fed up with him and want to show that they want him to feck off. That's all it's about.

Fair enough. I’m fed up with him too for the record.

It's quite ironic that so many on this forum like to play the smart independent types and yet are taken (and act it) for fools by the propaganda of the British press and Maguire's honestly mythical 'he plays well for England'. The last was also used for United when our loser of a manager kept picking him despite all the evidence pointing he shouldn't.

But once again, some of these loud sympathetic types don't really represent the majority view, they just like shouting and projecting their little pathetic virtuous personas because apparently that makes them feel fuzzy inside.

I'd have kicked him out in 2021 latest.
