Don't go on social media. We all know social media is bit of cesspit at times...... unfortunately in today's world footballers are targets, score 3 in row your best thing going, no goals in 3 your crap..... thats social media I'm afraid.
You know this is social media right?
So don’t go on social media, don’t drink, don’t eat food that’s bad for you, don’t do drugs, don’t gamble, don’t go on holiday any time between July-May, don’t be seen out with friends if the team lost….
What else do you want me to say. Footballers are so privileged with the wealth they receive but unfortunately they are targets on social media that's fact...... the top end players get it the most so few shrimpers giving colin bit of stick on socials or in the stadium shouldn't really effect him. If you don't want to be footballer then go work in tesco. Does it make it right? Probably not but it's today world I'm afraid.
I've said it before - no one deserves abuse at work (except maybe refs
). Not sure what other industries would put up with it!
You read my post and thought they sounded privileged?
Police, get constant abuse online and to their faces, come under constant scrutiny in whatever they do. They get paid a hell of a lot less than even Collin! Having been in the role myself (not civilian) and having lots of current and former serving friends in Essex, Norfolk and the Met. They put up with it and it’s 100 times worse than just saying a player has had a **** game.I've said it before - no one deserves abuse at work (except maybe refs
And they're not particularly well paid at this level - especially considering short career.
If footballer hasn't played well for period of time then unfortunately there open to criticism. Little bit stick to footballer about his performances I don't see the massive issue aslong as it doesn't get personal.
And that's wrong as well. Its not a competition - as I said no one deserves abuse at work
It was world mental health day two days ago.
You said what other industry would put up with it. So I answered your point!
Surely if you’re pointing out about mental health then age has nothing to do with it.
Where are you reading this? I haven’t seen it on here? I assume you’re on about on X or Facebook?
If it is of an abusive nature I encourage all to use the report button. Then we as a mod team will action on it.
That's ridiculous comparison comparing the working man to footballer. Being footballer is privileged which 95% of us to love to be. Footballers know what to expect when entering that industry. Unfortunately at times its unforgiving industry but at same time it's very rewarding industry which pays well........ I don't condone personal abuse but if I'm paying my money and I'm seeing a player perform badly over period of time I will vent my frustration ie booing or saying that's crap need to up your game at the stadium. If Colin has been getting Social media abuse which im guessing from your comments then that's not on, but in the stadium if fan gives player some stick after bad performances and the team isn't playing well I don't see that as issue, the same goes to player giving some back to the fan ie the next week he score a goal and wants to make point. Part parcel of the game I guess.
