Niall Quinn

[sergiokun]

He has been at this for months now and no one gives a toss about your opinion Quinn sky should get rid

 

[robinhood CITY]

Slightly off topic but thank your lucky stars

I watched the first half on Sky and the bias in commentary was horrendous but at least Sounness and Redknapp were fair despite the efforts of the presenter

But I had to drive home so I was listening to 5Live for the second half and the anti city agenda there was unreal from Marting Keown and the commentators who was introduced as the Former England player with no mention of his ties to Arsenal

BBC really needs to do better Sky I cant control but I am paying the BBC to present this S***!!!!!!

Keown was willing City players to be booked and for Arsenal to score as was the commentator

Stupendous...

What's Martin Tyler got to do with this thread ;-)

It's threads like this that make you realise what a bunch of embarrassing individuals we have following us.

Niall Quinn didn't seem to have any anti-City agenda to me at all. I actually think that he's a nice chap, thoroughly decent and genuinely has a fondness for City. I also think that he is a pretty average co-commentator who misses the point far too often. That's the problem. He's just not very good.

No conspiracy, no agenda. The same with referees that give bad decisions against us too often. It's not an anti-City thing, it's an incompetence thing.

In either case, it doesn't alter what he did for us as a player. History will not be revised because of a stupid opinion over a red card.

Are you off your rocker? After what you said before the derby you are going to come on here and say that?

 

[james1910]

Lost all respect for Quinn in 94.
Playing Utd at old Trafford... 5-0 down .... 2 minutes to go .... and there's Quinn, ..... Laughing & joking, in the centre circle, with Brian McClaire.

ABSOLUTE TWUNT !!

I've not heard his comments today during the game so apologies in advance but I do find some of the comments coming from people on here regarding his playing days with City quite hard to take.

This was a fella who made a concerted effort to influence tatics during a 'do or die' game against Liverpool when the manager had instructed Stevie Lomas to keep the ball in the corner against Liverpool thinking a draw would be sufficient to keep City in the Premier League. For those who haven't a clue what I'm talking about? A substituted and fully suited and booted Niall Quinn ignored the City dugout and raced down the touchline to inform young Stevie that City actually needed to score a third goal and win the game, instead of waste time (as instructed by the manager).

That same night, a very sad night for City fans, whilst the manager Alan Ball and the Chairman (one of our most estemed players) Francis Lee hid away from the media Niall spoke publically on Match of the Day and was heartfelt in his apologies to City fans about the relegation.

 

[city 'til i cry]

Sky needs to shake things up, Le tissier always comes across well but rarely gets a big game, Davie Provan is always good but again is rarely used.

Quinn sorry to say is the worst one, today he has lost the respect of a lot of blues.

 

[TonyM]

I thought he was fine. But then again he is a God in my eyes.

 

[bluedreaming]

I thought Quinn was biased to Arsenal today, but he has backed us in the past

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

I kinda get Quinny being bitter against the club - treated like shit if his autobiog is to be believed - but he must realise what the fans will make of it

 

[MyJeckyllDoesntHyde]

He's a commentator. What's he supposed to do, scream us on? Neville isn't biased towards the rags is he? They're both commentating as they should, professionally.

 

[mr t]

I had it in my mind it was Martin Keown because the comments were so one sided. He's definitely gone sour on us.

 

[Churchill123]

I'm pleased it wasn't just me thinking he was being anti city... pissed me off how he kept banging on about the penalty and red card ruining the game so early on! and how arsenal could feel hard done by! - shut the fuck up, Dzeko got rugby tackled in the box what else is the ref gonna do!

Quinn is a fucking mug!

Felt exactly the same. I kept threatening to turn the sound off but my lad persuaded me otherwise. I met Niall a few years back and had a decent chat with him. He said he felt sorry for City fans for what had happened and what was still happening at the club (this was around 99/2000 era). He seemed a true gent and was great speaking to my lad etc. But can't defend him after the crap he came out with today, annoying as hell.

You're the embarrassment you pretentious pillock.

Yep, my two rag mates managed to mention the anti City bias but it is no surprise that DD (I hope we lose the derby so Mancini is sacked) missed it.<br /><br />-- Sun Jan 13, 2013 11:25 pm --<br /><br />

So a professional tries to help his team and avoid a paycut on relegation and that means he gets a free pass to be a **** on commentary? Nope. Not having it.

 

[cityvet]

Seen Quinn a few times on telly, can`t work out why he always sides against us, worst one was Sunderland ( no surprise there ). Discopants, thrown them away.

 

[Graceyboy]

The thing here is that most fans of a club hate negative comments being made about their club, whether they are right or wrong. Niall, I don't believe has an agenda against City, I think he believes he is commenting on the game the way he see's it, not reporting it in a manner that is influenced by personal agenda's. Now, I dont always agree with what he says, I don't get all worked up about it. I don't think he is a good co-commentator (but are there really that many good ones?), I also don't think he is that bad neither.

I personally thought that it was definately a penalty, but the sending off was harsh. If the sending off had not happened, it would not of been a talking point today that it should of been. We would of just accepted the penalty which we got.

As far as Redsnap and Souness are concerned, you can't in one breath support them because they agreed with Arsenal sending off, then turn round and say they are muppets because they believed Kompany was also worthy of being sent off, as an argument that they are better commentators/pundits than Quinny.

It's clearly Didsbury Dave's alias, despite his denials.
