I think it’s a real black mark on this forum that no one else calls out this absolute garbage.
All the personal insults in general, in my opinion - there are too many of them all the time to keep calling them out without always going down the same routes of bickering. It's fan culture, it seems. Been watching the first season of Welcome to Wrexham lately, and even there in a small club way down in the Conference league, players and the manager are getting all this personal abuse flimflam. I don't get it, but I'm not sure how one goes about changing that behavior. All that toxic brick clearly hurts the team, as it will seep through to them and affect their game - but it's a big ask trying to change something like that in a group of 30 people, let alone in a group with millions of people.
Play the ball, not the man, for me, just don't shove your criticism down their throats through social media or whatever. The goalkeeper of fudging Wrexham in Conference league kept getting messages on Facebook, Twitter etc on how brick he was - in the Conference league! He said it made him not want to come into work, not want to walk around town. Can you imagine what our lads are getting? It's just fudging sad. So much for supporting a team. "But they earn so much they should handle it!" - they're humans, and will obviously perform better with support rather than abuse. It's hard to comprehend how someone could think otherwise.
Support the lads ffs. Cup final coming up. Positivity. Happy clapping, whatever. If you hate that in general, ok, but put that aside for a few days: Now's the fudging time to support the boys and the coach. All in with it. It spreads. The utopian theory, make two people positive, who each makes two people positive etc.
That was incoherent, but early morning here for me. Bottom like: COYS! Support the lads!
