IWEDFM Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) 5 hours ago, hirstyboywonder said: Can you not see the hypocrisy in that? Moaning on a football forum that a football should 'get over himself' for having the temerity to respond constructively to someone giving him direct personal abuse. If you don't condone it then you should have finished your sentence at that point. Why should he be open to abuse for using social media. There was no critical analysis or comment on performances in the tweet he responded to, it was just abuse, why should people be open to abuse? Stop sucking up to him It's social media If you're a footballer and play well you get praise If you're a footballer and your performances are below par you get flack If you're in the public eye and on social media you know you're leaving yourself open to abuse even if I don't agree with it Stop sucking up to our players, they're not your friends Edited August 7, 2020 by IWEDFM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same and I wouldn't even bother responding to fans, i'd just laugh it off I mean for god's sake i've been called a lot worse, it's hardly racisim or threats against his family which would be utterly unacceptable if that was the case Some of our fans are so over sensitive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been shy of putting my opinions across based on performances and critical analysis. Calling someone a c**t and saying they are w**k and telling them to f off is not constructive, serves no purpose and has rightfully been called out for what it is.

But what can be done about it? Unless we go back to the 90's and close down all social media platforms there isn't much else that can be done about it It's the same with racisim they've been trying to eradicate it for years but it seems to get worse despite all the BLM protests You are always going to get a minority of keyboard idiots that take it too far I've said on here before that I loved the 90's when there was no social media and players didn't have the need to expose themselves constantly. I loved the Roy Keane/Patrick Vieira days. Legends on the pitch but off it you didn't have a clue what they were getting up to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
