Maguire gets told


Recommended Posts

Never understood how anyone can change allegiances, be it a professional footballer or a bloke from the local.

 

Incidentally, a bloke in my local stopped 'supporting' Wednesday and started 'supporting' Man United because he wanted tickets for a Steel City Derby at Hillsborough years ago and he was refused because he wasn't on the club's database (tried telling me he always paid on the door). Don't even acknowledge the bloke anymore as he pounces around in his Man United shirt.

 

As for Maguire, Vardy has absolutely rinsed him here and deservedly so. I can understand Maguire not sharing the same hatred for United as regular Wednesdayites because he played for them, but declaring he now supports them is pretty sad.

 

If it was the other the way round, I'm not sure I could bring myself to claim him as 'one of our own'.

In fairness to Uncle Fester, he's in a difficult position.

 

There's no doubting that at heart he's an Owl, but when a player has been brought up by the Blades and owes all he has to them what is he supposed to say?

 

In addition, the Blades are more partisan than we are, in the same way that the Scots, Irish and Welsh are more nationalistic than the English.

 

It's small club/nation mentality.

 

If the Celts are overly patriotic, it's called national fervour.

 

If the English are overly patriotic, it's called nationalism...or worse, national socialism.

 

The real point here is what was he doing in their academy in the first place?

No.

 

Anyone who loves Vardy doesn't know him.

I have known him since he was about 5 years old and you are talking out of your rectum pal.

 

Just because you don't like him, doesn't mean everyone who knows him has to feel the same, that's not really how the world works.

 

I barely see him these days but growing up I always thought he was a good kid and whenever I do bump into him we always stop and have a chat. I know him well enough and I like him.

He's a Wednesdayite but has been with United most of his life so naturally looks out for them

 

Still lives in Mosborough

 

Before the derby he openly tweeted that he was red and white, and I think he sat in the away end cheering them on. No Owl would ever do that, even if they did have a soft spot for them.

Michael Palin is the worse, originally a Unitedite when growing up in the 70’s, then a Wednesdayite in the early 90’s.

 

When ever he’s interviewed now, he just says he wants both teams to do well as they represent Sheffield.

Doesnt seem that passionate about football either way and sits on the fence, just like Rebowl Yell.

In his diaries (published, I'm not a stalker) Palin barely mentions United if at all, but speaks about Wednesday a few times including having a badge on his jacket in the late 60s, attending a game at Orient, and how happy he was on the day we got promoted in 1984.

and I remember being in the stand at two successive away games at Charlton & QPR, Palin was at both and everyone was singing the lumberjack song to him.

70s I think.
