Only say something on social media that you'd be prepared to day to someones face.....

Is that the criteria, Does that make it acceptable? If your tough enough to slag someone off to there face, your ok to do it on social media? How about, if your crossing the line from commenting on a players performance on the field to making personal comments about them, then it shouldnt be happening atall, regardless of wether you'd say it to there face or not.

We need freedom of speech, there just needs to be some consequence to what is said, that's all....

Whats the consequence? Im not sure what side of this debate your on, at first i thought you were dead against players getting personal abuse on social media, now its coming across as you think its ok as long as your tough enough to give your mouth off to there face aswel. Not for me, if your crossing the line into personal abuse of a player, being willing to say it to there face dosnt make it any more acceptable.

Who's talkinh about abuse? Your getting the wrong end if the stick completely. You can criticise players performances, just like anybody can criticise ourselves. Needs to be respectful. Your twisting my comments dude completely!!

I personally don't see the need or right to even criticise a players performance. They and the club will know if player hasn't performed and it's up to them to address. Don't see any benefit of fans saying things on social media, especially when you see the player being tagged in.

Do you ever criticise players/coaches? (Your post history suggests otherwise)

Re: Corey Hall : Wed Apr 07, 2021 7:55 am  

Player A was good,player B was bad is part of the attraction of any sport.Fans like to talk about it at home, work,social media and forums.With out that theres very little left to talk about.

I think it's different doing it on here, where its highly unlikely the players and coaches visit, than doing it on social media

I dont know, as a dedicated site I think in the past weve had a few stop by and browse.

Anyhoo, ATEOTD I'll stick my neck out and say the majority of fans / supporters etc just want what's best and expect the team / individuals to be a bit more perfect than they actually can be. They have off days, have life troubles / issues that can effect them that we are not privy to and nor should we be. They are human just like me and you but they have to deal with theirs under the glare of media, I couldnt handle that myself.

Frustration leads to certain outbursts and things may be said in the heat of the moment that in retrospect, you more than likely dont mean and as I said before, once you post......
You'll generally find multitudes of reactionary posts around the games as thats just the way we are as a species, some positive, some negative, some just there to stir the pot.

Thats not to say that tagging players / coaches / teams in to posts to just slag them off with foul mouthed abuse for the "thrill" of trolling is acceptable, frankly I find that the lowest of the low, there's a few who go on the official Leeds FB site and the only reason for posting is to rile people up (not my cup of tea) but if thats whats yous wants... fill your boots. I left that cesspit years ago.

I agree that I think this forum is different to things like Facebook and Twitter, I think discussing performances is fine as long ad it doesn’t stray into personal stuff, however Ive seen far too much nasty stuff about players on Social Media and it’s just not on IMO and the same goes for referees it’s appalling.

I hope the whole thing implodes to be honest (theres next to no chance of that happening)

Exactly.

A seminal moment on Twitter was when a mate of mine posted a picture of a shambles of a UKIP candidate for Swindon borough council who had been caught making pretty obnoxious sexist comments about Labour MP Jess Phillips (which he claimed were "jokes") and I thought it was ironic considering that facists can't seem to get a suit that fits. Oh boy, did I get some response to that. "So you always judge people by their appearance then....etc...etc". I don't think I've ever told more people to f*** o** in a single hour before or since.
