Meh Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 I never post purely to stir crap but really not sure how to feel about Liam Walsh liking a tweet from presumably a friend where it refers to beating us.

Would not want it to be a habit as it can be perceived different ways and I’m normally quite chilled about things but this did make me think wtf is he doing when I first saw it.

My first reaction is similar tbh. Then you think of the factors behind it. He has never been in the spotlight like he is now. He is not an Everton player for the first time in his life, he is young and probably close to the player that made the tweet. He probably didn’t think anything of it. Just needs to be told that he has new employers and more importantly new fans that will see things like that as a negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it is what it is, he’s liking his mates tweet. no different to what they would have said too each other after the game! the players like tomlin stuff on instagrams all the time... and no doubt if mark little or wilbraham had of posted something last night pack, Flint, smith etc would all have liked it...

You just follow people and if they like a tweet or comment on one etc you get told on your feed as it may be of mutual interest sort of thing.

I don't see anything wrong with this whatsoever. In fact, it's a nice example of decent sportsmanship in an era where it often goes out the window.

Fair point and good to get feedback hence raising the point - ie to debate. Find it disappointing that you then choose to add a rubbish mark to the original post - to me they are just a way to close debate. Each to their own I guess.

Alessandro Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 'Like' on twitter doesn't always mean 'like'. It means, I agree or that's funny, fair enough, OK, even a sarcastic dig sometimes - i've read this and i'll remember it - and many more. Point is i'm sure he isn't sat 'liking' the fact his mate beat us, just probably being sportsman like. Fair enough - it certainly wasn't an offensive tweet about BCFC, we aren't even mentioned. Bolton played well and it was a good win for them. Fair play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've removed the reaction. In fairness, I did also see the tweet and think it was certainly unusual, but unusual in a good way, imo. Good to see such grace.

Interesting issue I think as the danger of social media is always prevalent. My actual concern is people on Twitter pick this up as you get a fairly balanced view on here but you get some real dicks on there who may go at him a bit harshly which is not what he needs.

Very true - it's a lot easier to say something harsh or offensive on Twitter and receive no backlash for it; at least on here you're somewhat more accountable! At the end of the day, I think if anyone were to get particularly *angered* over what Walsh has done, they need to take a step back and realise that all he did for this to occur was make a single tap on a tiny little heart button while scrolling through many many other tweets in his feed. I doubt he even really thought about people taking his actions the wrong way before he clicked. And why would he? In the grand scheme of things, liking things on Twitter means very little. Does explain why often famous journalists, TV personalites, other celebrities, etc, are forced to put in their Twitter bio, "Views my own not of my employer", "Retweets/likes are not endorsements", etc, etc, just to avoid the trolls and idiots taking things out of context.

I hit the ‘like’ emoji on here for things I don’t necessarily like or agree with, but I appreciate the view of the poster, even if different to mine. The joys of social media.
