ronnieronalde Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I haven't read what the lad wrote and I don't intend to. I've thought for a long time that social media is a place where you shouldn't be able to hide behind anonymous usernames. It's a disgrace to society as a whole the kind of behaviour that goes on in forums/chatrooms all over the globe. Trolling is the lowest of the low from where I'm standing. Well played Derby County.

Boycie Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 The plastic bottle was thrown after the first Sharp goal. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed with his running along the away fans, although I think he was looking at the tier above, could be wrong. I was disappointed because I thought he'd thanked the Derby supporters via twitter when he got support at his time of need. But I can't agree with what this lad tweeted to Billy Sharp, disgusting behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lifetime ban seems a bit harsh, after goading the Derby fans I was so angry and could have done or said something I regret to Billy Sharp, thankfully I am bought up in a way that as far as I would have gone was to call him a name that rhymes with sock. Suprised he wasn't spoken to for goading the fans to be fair, it could very easily have turned nasty. People who use social media to bully or say awful things do deserve harsh punishments though.

Not trying to defend what he did but just can't see why it deserves a lifetime ban. Because saying stupid stuff 'that' offensive when you are angry is unacceptable. Being angry isn't an excuse for an adult. And because a lifetime ban will act as a disincentive for other vile behaviour directed at players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're angry, I wonder how Billy Sharp felt after seeing those tweets about his dead infant son? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewe Ram Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Apologising doesn't go anywhere near making it right. I'm continually getting rid of the idiots on my Twitter feed who post vile things in the name of football banter. It's rife and it's just wrong.

kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Lifetime ban thoroughly deserved and justified......

Sith Happens Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 5 hours ago, BurtonRam7 said: Horrific comment, agreed. No justification, agreed. But a lifetime ban? I'm sure in 30 years time, lifetime ban or not, he would have looked back on the tweet and regretted it. I personally would have banned him for 5/10 years, which is enough time to make him realise his mistake, set an example and given him a second chance. Can't agree.

Sith Happens Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Can't believe some posters are apologising on his behalf. I get angry after a defeat...do I abuse someone? No...I go and moan with my dad over a pint. Honestly I can't imagine what its like to lose a child...scum bag should be outed and named... Lifetime ban is right...

Mafiabob Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Say it was an official who had a tragedy..... I do wonder if it'll be only the one person who do it then..... especially when a decision doesn't go in favour of us. I'm thinking Mourinho and his comments which preluded to Mr Andres Frisks retirement..... Not defending what he did, he was a complete tool and he's going to regret it for rest of his life. But what bugs me is the abuse officials get on twitter week in week out, and I've seen some despicable ones.... yet it gets played as "he deserves it" etc because of what they are. Hope in time the lad and Derby County get reconciled..... and maybe a donation or charity work of Billy Sharps choice may make matters a little better. Let's hope he can man up to that.

I have no doubt the individual would never have called this out during a game, or said this to Sharps face. For some reason, when online some people say things that in reality, they would stop short of. For this reason i applaud DCFC. Now the world just needs to send everyone to prison that has ever sent a death threat to a famous individual, just because they thought twitter was annoynmous, when infact it isnt.
