Kane tweet - one for the conspiracy lot to get stuck into....

OK, let's review those facts:

I don't use the word snowflake, ever (other than just then).

I think Kane has been our best player this season:

It's not abuse, it just isn't. He looks soulful, and wistful in that photograph so I made some light hearted comments about things that were soulful and wistful in my life when I was young. Micky Finn answered me and mentioned a song performed by Television, another rock group in the same sort of genre of 'stuff' that I was talking about so I made another silly comment.

Your reaction to this is way over the top. There is no malice here, no abuse, just some silly comments. Kane is a fully grown man and posted a picture of himself on social media, I'm a fully grown man and made some in jokes with someone my sort of age who I don't know but I knew would get the reference. There is nothing here to elicit your reaction. I should be old enough and wise enough not to bother answering you, that's my only failing in this, but you've bloody annoyed me with these ridiculous accusations.

 

Whatever it’s meant to be, the move he’ll get won’t be as glamorous as he might have thought a couple of months back. Not good enough for an established Championship side so I’d probably expect one of the three promoted sides getting him unless someone like Birmingham come down and want to build a good League 1 outfit. Him going to Bristol City, which he wanted, won’t happen. They’re pushing top six next year and Herbie Kane isn’t good enough.

I’m going to say Derby, or Birmingham if they come down.

 

Bristol City have been wanting to push on to the top 6 for years now... I dont think it would be a bad move personally. Needs to play further forward though imo

 

Gosh, this escalated quickly.....

 

To be fair I'm of a certain age so got the in joke references but did stop to think not many on here would. Now I can't stop humming Ventura Highway....lol

 

No matter what he does with his hair, can still see that bald patch from a mile off. Can’t be long until it’s all shaven off surely?

Said it before on here but I’d say there’s no chance he will be here next season whatever division we are in. I reckon a mid table championship side will pick him up.

 

The thong is why does anyone care about his hair? In my opinion it's ******* weird the obsession our fans have with trying to make him feel self-conscious

 

So is he going to the massives then ??

 

Now you're starting rumours about his taste in underwear??!?

 

You reckon footballers feel self conscious? They certainly don’t seem it! In all seriousness, because I see it every other week it’s now one of the first things I associate with him but I wouldn’t call it an obsession.

 

Unless he's guided by Jaq then it's footwear...

 

I believe the correct idiom is 'to pore through'

 

There was intrest from Bristol last summer wasn't there? Just never happened for whatever reason. Based on league one football I've seen this season if callum styles can get a championship move herbie can. Only a year between then aswell, either that or herbie wants to switch agents to the one styles uses.

 

Kane's been a great player for us in league 1 and I really don't understand the stick he gets, same goes for Cole and Styles who did it in the championship.

 

weird as ****.

 

Thanks for sharing - think it's a great photo & got me wanting one of those tops.
Bit frustrating cos they're not available in our store or on fanatics

 

For the record, my comment wasn't solely directed at you, but I'm sick of seeing comments on players, HK in particular, that have nothing to do with their footballing ability, and comment on their looks or their intelligence. It's just unnecessary and can be incredibly harmful to the mental health of young people who have the spotlight on them, not always something they want.

That being said, there is an irony in you telling me you're annoyed by my anonymous words on a page (which I, too, could quite easily dismiss as mere silly comments) whilst simultaneously denying that anybody has the right to be upset by your anonymous words on a page simply because you didn't mean to offend anybody and they were a silly in joke.

Regardless of your intention, you have to be aware of how what you say may be received. Niche in-joke about a 70s rock band or not, you knew or ought to know what you were implying.

I think a failure to see things beyond your own perspective is norma/human, but to completely disregard that others might interpret your words differently is just plain ignorance.

Not reyt bothered about your response but I felt that this was important to say

 

Well I've seen some weird threads in my time but this one's boldly going where no thread has gone before....

 

There's a pattern to threads like these.

 

But the thong remains the same.
