And you are contributing to it.

There is nothing wrong with criticising a players performance, but it's nearly always pushed too far.

Thats not really called for avenger. I personally stay clear of criticism of players, they pull the shirt on, put their bodies on the line and have reached a level that I could only dream of during my youth playing days.
I know it's shooting season at the moment but he remains blm son and for me gave his all on the field.
However criticism aimed at non active chairmen and ceos is fine in my book,

And another, my post was about family and friends of players understanding that players, even great players, get both praise and criticism. You can’t lap up the former and then whinge about the latter.

My post wasn’t a comment on Jordy

By validating that it's OK to abuse people because it's a player and that's the way the world is.
I'm not saying you are abusing anyone

It was not the sort of post I would have expected from you, if your not having a go why post it on this thread.

I am big boy now and well aware of the "nasty world" we live in, as if that validates your comments.

Was his dad only here for the gushing praise then, was it OK for people to comment on Jordy if it was positive but not if they were less than?

His sons a grown man and a professional sportsman, if he couldn't hack the criticism then it’s best that he left isn’t it.

Think you'll find - in all honesty - that Jordy was getting stick nearly all the time for performing and doing his best compared to some of the others in the team and actually taking pride in wearing the RW&B.
Think your post is extremely harsh and narrow minded.

Always got on ok with BLM, on here and face to face.

Although he's not the best 13 in the world, and there are some out there that have a creative spark to their game, I'll be disappointed if he does go. He's a lad who always gives 100%, and that will be two like that, we have lost in 12 months, yet we have some players, who at times, look like they couldn't care less.

It's players like him that we should be keeping.

Hopefully, a fresh pair of eyes will see things differently, in terms of player recruitment and retention.

I'm sure players expect criticism if they haven't played well and this site is one of those where supporters can air their views about players and express criticism.
Problem is, as with FB and other social media sites, some gutless, cowardly keyboard warriors go one step further hiding behind their anonymous status and remarks do get personal, from contributors who probably wouldn't dare say it face to face.
