Feyenoord Fans Outraged: Timber Images After Match

Quinten Timber caused some commotion on Sunday after Feyenoord’s draw against FC Twente (1-1). While his teammates thanked the Legion profusely, Timber seemed to have little interest in the moment with his own fans. The midfielder’s gesture was widely reported on social media as uninspired and distant.

Supporters share images of the moment when Timber thanks the fans without any visible enthusiasm. “Quinten’s farewell applause to the Legion. Unbelievable,” writes a fan on X with the video.

The reactions are not pleasant. “Exactly the way he plays. Like a disinterested teenager,” a supporter sneers at Timber. “No one is bigger than the club,” another added, while some simply hoped for his departure: “Fuck off Timber.”

There are also Feyenoord fans who try to nuance Timber’s response. “Is that guy allowed to be bummed or not?”, one user wondered. According to him, Timber has been ‘humiliated to the point’ by his trainer Robin van Persie in recent matches. Despite the absence of the first three captains, Timber did not wear the captain’s armband on Sunday, as Van Persie awarded it to goalkeeper Timon Wellenreuther.

Timber has an expiring contract and appears to be leaving Feyenoord. After the match, Timber himself also expressed his frustration, but not about his possible retirement. “We were not good on the ball. It was difficult in the build-up. Then you will have a hard time against a team like Twente,” said the midfielder in front of the camera. ESPN.

In the interview, Timber took a small swipe at the media. “I won’t hear from you for two weeks in the near future. And that’s wonderful.”
