Now this one is going to be met with a real mixture of responses, but quite a few Newcastle fans have taken to Twitter to criticise fellow supporters for their 'sarcastic cheers' and booing of Mo Diame as he was substituted during yesterday's defeat to Everton.

I was at the game, and I can confirm that Diame really did have a stinker, but I'm not sure this is the answer. Don't get me wrong, I was quite relieved to see his number go up as he'd offered nothing all game, but is this really how we should be handling one of our own players whose desperately struggling for form?

Here's what a few fans and NUFC accounts have had to say about the matter on twitter.

Even an Everton fan has been in touch with his take on the matter from last night's game, having the following to say on the crowds reaction to Diame's substitution - stating that he's got no time for this sort of stuff, even if he was awful:

"The boos surrounding Diame when he came off said more than I ever could. He was awful but I’ve got no time for that personally and don’t think it’s ever justifiable."


Let us know your thoughts folks! Were fans right to mock Diame as he left the pitch?
