End of the pier show ⭐⭐🦐
Well I don't do social media and never will do and don't love getting people the sack but I want Brown out of this club,his time is up,give me it straight KB what pigeon hole do I fit in.
Which is pretty shameful. I suspect no-one is more disappointed than the player when things don't go right- what will absolutely guaranteed not help players play better is personal abuse. Such people are not fans and in the more serious cases they should themselves be sacked by the club and given a ban.
That quite frankly is ridiculous. It has always been a point of fans to abuse whoever they can when it suits....Shall we all just clap hands to all the players whether good or bad....The PC has gone stupid in the world today. We are the paying fans, we support in any way that suits us, good or bad we pay their wages..

is that anything to do with PC? It's just different levels of politeness in dealing with people, no?That quite frankly is ridiculous.

The sad legacy of social media is that anyone can go online and personally abuse someone from the comfort of their own home with complete anonymity. It really is the scourge of modern society.
Maybe booing a player for not putting a shift in at a match is fair game or showing disgust at a gutless defeat, as we did back in the 70's by chucking cushions on the pitch, is fine. After all, it's part of the theatre of entertainment that is football. Players will laud it up when things are going well and will get the pantomime villain treatment when they are not. It's part of the showmanship of the sport.
However, dishing out online personal abuse to individuals is a step too far, IMHO. I've always been one to live by the maxim that if I said it out loud, would I say it to the person's face if questioned. Too many people would not and on that basis, in my view, don't have the right to do so online.
We know little or nothing about Ferdy's situation. What we do know is that he isn't playing to his potential this season. He probably feels and knows that more than anyone else, but he still feels affection for us lot. Always the last to leave the field and applaud those who remain in the ground as he does. A good professional who is going through a rough patch and has lost his mother in recent times, quite apart from the devastation that has happened to his brother, as well.
We might be paying their wages, but it damn sure doesn't give us the right to disrupt their private life. That I do know.

I donot go with the theory that football is different to any other past time, end of the day if its causing you stress and your blood pressure is topping 155 on match day, time to look for something else
Well said Blueronron, we are only 2 wins from the top half yet some of the people on here have accepted relegation already. Others are praying for failure as the have done for the years now. If was PB it would be Ron or the next manger they hate.
The real disappointing thing is the whole anti club, anti anyone positive is now going personal and people have decided to avoid the site.

Not true as I just checked and in the 2 months from Novemeber the 17th to today, traffic is actually up 22% on the site.
I would guess it is. If we lose there always is more traffic.
