Giving players abuse on Twitter

It’s absolutely fooking ridiculous !!!!!!!!!
And it comes about - because the lives of these brain dead b@stards is dog shi.te.
Consequently - instead of sorting their own lives out they spew out negative bile at our players.
And in my experience Barnsley fans - especially the away fans - are the worst in the football league at doing this.

Not every player is as thick skinned as Dimi Cavare.
The confidence of other players might be totally undermined.
Which means of course some of our own fans are reducing the success of YOUR CLUB!!!
All what we can do - is turn on these b@stards and give them hell !!!

 

The ******* irony

 

Really? What skin colour was Nicky eaden?
We have SOME racist fans, I'll be the first to make that claim but to make the sweeping generalisation that black players get more stick at oakwell than white players do is bang out of order. Maybe you're looking for it and turning a blind eye to the criticism of the other players?

 

Interesting that you have responded to this shortly after I made a comment elsewhere regarding racism in football. No I don't turn a blind eye, I think that people like you turn a blind eye to the fact that abuse does disproportionately affect our black players. I firmly stand by what I have said.

 

So you remain firm on your belief that our black players receive more abuse than our white players and that it is due to our inherently racist fanbase?

 

I'm not saying that our fanbase is inherently racist, don't put words into my mouth please. I do remain firm in my belief that our black players receive more abuse than our white players, and that that fact is pretty much universally true across every English club.

 

No it isn't.

Who gets most abuse
Liam Lindsay or Ethan pinnock?

 

99.999% of the abuse directed at Lindsay is from you, though!

 

I refute that allegation. It's 99.936%. I heard somebody say he misplaced a pass yesterday so that brings my ratio down a bit.

 

Likety like.

 

Not just players. Stretch the photographer was subject to abuse following the Luton game.

 

The irony being the cult hero’s of recent years have been er Black.

M’voto
Sessi
Cavare ...

 

Wasn't that from a certain person?

 

Ahem!
Hassel
Hammill
Hourihane
McCourt
Muller

 

It may have been. Couldn't say.

 

There may have been a few people giving him abuse but the one I remember was hemsteiger slagging him off for sitting in mowatts way

 

Stretch was given that bit of space to work in. Couldn't do anything about it.

 

I'm a pretty streetwise bloke I reckon, but some of the language and tone used disgusts me and the personal use of it against players, club staff, and club officials is embarrassing and pathetic.

You know who labelled Stretch as a "f**King w@nker" on Twitter. Another poster on here, banned now I think, used Twitter about 15 mins after we had been relegated at Derby last season to label Gauthier Ganaye as a "useless French frog eating B@st@rd". And Whitey got dogs abuse and "threats" on Facebook maybe a year or so ago because of some confusion about a supporter who had cycled to Barnsley for a match or similar.

I know every club has them, but I am left scratching my head at times. I'd like to think I could meet up with a supporter of any club, one of our players or staff, and talk football over a pint with them without any problem.

 

Out of order mate. I don't know Whitey personally, but can tell he's a good sort. I often find myself agreeing with his posts.

Although we all support the same club, it's ok for people to have differing views, but when people chanel their personal disappointment into abusing players and staff directly on social media, then they've overstepped the mark.

 

I don’t use Twitter so I’m not sure what’s happening! Racism & prejudice have no part to play in our society, including football. I’ve decided, from my point of view, that if I hear it near me, I’ll say something - it makes me feel sick. I hope Dimi (& every one of our players) know that we’re behind him. There’s been times when he’s scared me to death at the back but his surges forward are incredible- no one can get the ball off him! It’s simple for me - if you’re into racism, just go somewhere else other than Oakwell / I (& my family) do t want to see or hear your bile! Go join Tommy Robinson & the other “patriots”
