Football fans everywhere turn on Norwich for moronic snub of their Irish gem

The pitch forks are out and it's not before time.

Alex Neil has been doing this for far too long now but people - not just Norwich people - have had enough. On Friday night, the freshly-relegated Canaries suffered their seventh Championship defeat in nine games. They lost 2-1 to Huddersfield at home and the score was like that from as early as the 40th minute. The dugout reacted by bringing on Alexander Tettey, Steven Naismith and Cameron Jerome. Wes Hoolahan watched the entire match. He had his football boots on but he never needed them because, yet again, Alex Neil decided that he didn't need Wes Hoolahan. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/809867182008102912 No-one's suggesting that a 34-year-old can play every minute of every game in a hectic Championship season but, Christ almighty, imagine thinking that you don't even need anything from him when you're losing at home and headed for a seventh defeat in, let's repeat it, nine games. And it isn't just Norwich fans that are pissed off with it like they were earlier in the season. Football fans - any of them - can't see the logic - not just the purists and those lovers of a deliciously-weighted pass, just those who think you win games by playing your best players. https://twitter.com/MrMovieGame/status/809872067646672899 Really though, they wouldn't even use him for a few minutes. https://twitter.com/Luca_Elia_/status/809871451255959553 Never mind from the start. https://twitter.com/podgemonster/status/809874206783586306 https://twitter.com/McMarleyuk/status/809873424730431488 https://twitter.com/Flash_37/status/809876124675219463 It shouldn't even be up for discussion that Hoolahan should have some involvement. https://twitter.com/StevenGuiry/status/809877476130299904 https://twitter.com/MrTomWilliams/status/809879096150921217 But Neil had a different plan. https://twitter.com/Keels811/status/809882192503599104 https://twitter.com/I_am_Adz/status/809882461463252992 It's enough to lose a man his job. Well, that and the results. https://twitter.com/lusher_tim/status/809886705935384577 The laws of physics and reason and whatever else cease to exist at Norwich right now. https://twitter.com/colette_privxte/status/809890522911350784 And it's the fact that he is remorseless that's the worst part. https://twitter.com/NCFCShaun/status/809896253442101248 Well, it's too far gone now for people to ease up the pressure. https://twitter.com/Jwaburto/status/809895057595756544 What's happening is plain crazy and it is beyond the realms of comprehension for any football man - never mind any normal football manager. Wes Hoolahan sat on the Norwich bench yet again for a full 90 minutes and watched them lose at home to Norwich. Wes Hoolahan - Wes f**king Hoolahan - the unused sub. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/809880904042737664
