ariotofmyown Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 This moron will get over not been allowed to go to Derby matches again. He won't get over been publicly shamed in this way though. Maybe there is a way he could do something to try and make amends. Raising money for charity, Community work, a full and heartfelt apology over what he did, educating others not to make the same mistake. I'm glad he's been punished, but I'd be happier still if this person could be reformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jourdan Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Great decision by the club. Why the individual singled out Billy Sharp for twisted personal abuse, I'll never understand. Throw the book at him and the bookends too. Billy Sharp is a model professional and was only doing his job. If only our players were doing theirs, eh? So what if he celebrated in front of our fans? So what if the fan felt angry? It doesn't even begin to excuse it. He scored at our end of the ground. What was he supposed to do - scurry off back to the changing room and punch the air completely out of sight? If you gift a top striker like him with two easy chances, he'll take them. Plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 It wasn't actually Tweeted AT Billy Sharp… 21 year old lad making a sick joke thinking he's Billy Big b*******. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Bris Vegas Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Social media is a plague. I don't know why people say such despicable things on there and think they can hide behind a computer. It's all well and good trolling in terms of opinion on football. Who hasn't done that before? But personal trolling and online bullying is just wrong. You wouldn't say this stuff to a person'a face, so why do people think it's acceptable online? Twitter is awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 He probably wasn't that hard to track down, even a casual internet user can get to within a few streets of someone's home if they know their IP address. He probably used his photo in his profile pic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inglorius Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 If the case is as serious as the club has warranted to indefinitely ban the individual concerned then surely it is a matter for the police to prosecute the individual under Section 127 of the Communications Act, why has this not happened in this case then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am not sure how the club would be able to determine an individuals IP address and thereby their location, that would be totally over reaching their authority. If they deemed the Tweet was that offensive a remark to indefinitely ban the person then surely they would also be obliged to report the matter to the police .

Yeah probably, I'm sure it does require some sort of request from authorities to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However they will have certain standards to meet, chances of conviction to consider, the impact on the wider audience of his actions, plus they have to meet a level of objective evidence - none of which the club needs to do. Its much easier for the club to react than the CPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashz09 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Just when Forest do something absolute stupid with regards to fighting over a Pie... One of our fans think try and beat their moronic lot. I have a lot of respect for Sharp I remember when the incident happened he came out and scored and dedicated it to his Son. I was disgusted when I read the tweet and so glad DCFC did something about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to defend what he did but just can't see why it deserves a lifetime ban. If it was possible to ban him in the next life (if there is one) I would endorse that.
