Why is Quinn in our Hall of Fame ??

[jma]

Who gives a fuck whether some delicate flowers thought he should be more biased towards City in his commentary.

Quinn gave great service to this club and has a lot of feeling for it. Anyone questioning his place in this club's history during that period is a clown.

To be fair to the people who think Quinn should be shot or whatever we were brilliant today and the result was amazing. Quinn should have been creaming over our ability to keep giving the ball to Liverpool instead of recognising that Liverpool were the only team playing half the time.

Quinny is fine. Wipe your fanny`s the precious blues who can not cope with anyone being slightly negative.

As for the Hall of Fame, the reason he's in is because they did it on a quota basis, era by era. It was basically a flawed system, so there are some anomalous results. There's a post on it somewhere by Gary James.

Basically Quinn won the vote by City fans for the period in which he played. Every supporter had chance to vote and thousands did. They chose him above others.

The HOF was set up with the aim of ensuring that every generation had chance to pick their heroes, so there were time periods (engineered a little to ensure truly successful periods had more scope for player inclusion) and a judging panel who added 3 wildcards from any time period to the Hall Of Fame. Without the time periods some players, such as Meredith, Doherty, Swift etc. may not have been included.

Views of heroes often change over time. When Rosler left, for example, many fans were extremely negative to him. Now they remember the positive stuff.

TBH i was more worried about what was going on in the game than what was coming out of Quinnys mouth. He was one of my childhood heroes when i was a kid watching the matches at Maine Rd, so he will always be a legend in my eyes.

pussy wiped

its not about him being negative,it wasn't about being able to cope,he was just so willing liverpool on and so biased it was embarassing for what should be a neutral commentator,it was bizzare and over the top,strange

So you expect him to give us credit when we`re playing shite ?? Fucking behave,you`re like a spoilt kid.

He didn't give us any credit but he was also begging for Carroll to score and for Liverpool to win F**k him

It's depressing how negative he is about City, I don't understand why he's that way either. Maybe he's just overcompensating so he doesn't sound biased.

Completely missing the point, there are only 21 legends in the Hall of Fame and Quinn is in there. He was not a bad player who scored a few goals, couple in the derby when we went 2 up, went in net against Derby, played well for us and gave 100 per cent. However he openly admits that he learnt his trade at Arsenal, became a player at City but his real love was Sunderland. He upset a few Blues when he came out in support of Swales when the fans were trying to get him out. Swales had done untold damage at City in his latter years.

Niall is no doubt a nice geezer but there is no way he is in the top 20 City legends , off the top of my head before him there should have been Tommy Booth, Glyn Pardoe, Dave Connor and Tony Coleman they won us the Championship in 68. I could name plenty of others who should have been in the HOF before Quinny.

Today his commentary was bizarre in that he was bigging up Liverpool so much and seemed to be biased. This got picked up by a few Blues on the Matchday thread. However he's free to say what he wants. However it's bizarre that he is rated in the top 20 all time City greats when there are scores of players who should be in there before him.

How many others were 2nd top scorer in the league scored in the world cup?

When we needed a 'keeper he loaned us one.

Helped us 5th place twice soon after being in Div 2.
