Coneheadjohn Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Don’t think it helps personally,criticism yes but some of the language that’s been used isn’t going to help us and quite frankly is a disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EraniosSocks Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 It’s just disgraceful to be honest. The lads made a few mistakes but he’s a human being, leave the chap alone. I’d get hounded if my work was on tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Durden Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Am struggling a bit to understand what you mean by some of the language, there is a swear filter on this site unless I'm mistaken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean in general,not on here,more twitter and other social media. Players are fairly active on Twitter and some of the stuff is not on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Dhabi Ram Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I think criticism is ok on here, we all agree/disagree on a variety of issues as is the point of the forum. Where it crosses the line is when people go onto players twitter/ facebook accounts etc and give them abuse, I just don’t get it and to be honest it embarrasses me that people who support our club feel that’s ok.

G STAR RAM Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Lets be honest, it's not just exclusive to football, it's just generally what some idiots think is acceptable these days. This runs from the top of society down. Dont think we, as a club, should be beating ourselves up about it. We live in a society now where if you dont do what people want you to do or dont agree with people then they see you as game for all sorts of bad treatment.

David Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Most fans would agree regardless of their opinions of the player. Unfortunately we will always have a small section of fans who believe it’s ok to post abuse directly to players. They will see topics like this and laugh it off, see nothing wrong with telling a player to F off or call them the C word. All players and the unite on this, when a user directs any abuse to any player, they get blocked by all players and the clubs official accounts.

Tyler Durden Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I've come off Twitter, such a hateful place full of anger and vitriol. Have just read that a 12 year old, yes 12 year old from Solihull has been arrested for racially abusing Wilfred Zaha presumably on Twitter too. Sadly it didnt surprise me.

Kernow Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 The lad that was behind the Andre flag has been taking a lot of stick for his abuse towards Ben Hamer, such as starting some kind of petition that was deleted before I saw it, and apparently resulted in Hamer deleting his Twitter account. It pretty much removes his credibility of doing good built up before. Really I think a lot of the people who post abuse publicly about players tend to do so because it’s “funny” and they’ll get likes for it. I don’t think they ever expect or realise that the player will see it and how it’ll affect them. He’s then gone out of his way to apologise to Hamer on Instagram, but been sure to show all his Twitter followers. As useful as Twitter, and all social media can be, it just breeds attention seeking idiots like that lad who belittle others to seem cool to their tribe of ‘followers’.

Look at when Eric Dier of Tottingham went into the crowd to confront a foul mouthed critic, the “supporter” apologised in person. Mind you, he was trying to get a lifetime ban overturned.

Ewe Ram Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I didn’t realise that he’d been so targeted when I saw Hamer had deleted his Twitter. That’s really poor and I think that’s about right, they do these things to get likes. Pathetic. I commented that a mistake like that is unforgivable. I think that’s the most harsh I can be accused of being. The idiot who sits next to me at PP constantly shouts vile abuse at Fozzy, I wish the stewards would eject him, give me a bit of peace, never mind poor Fozzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Mash Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Sadly, some of our 'fans' seem to think it proves greater loyalty or passion if there's more aggressive abuse on show. Just don't get it myself. I moved seats at PP from the South Stand after not 'joining in' with some of the hateful bile aimed at our players and/or visiting supporters. My fellow Rams around me gave me all sorts of hassle. Probably the same idiots who have been abusing online. It says something about somebody who uses the word 'hate' when commenting on a leisure pursuit, particularly when referring to a player's competency. I work with people who aren't particularly good at their job but I don't hate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
