Of course, I don't think anyone in their right mind would say vile abuse is okay. People were suggesting Leeds shouldn't respond because it encourages idiots. They have a right to reply and aren't responsible for the idiots that followed. I don’t have an issue with Leeds responding. They can do what they want. Personally I don’t think official channels should be worrying about what pundits say but it’s up to them. That isn’t the issue for me. It’s the ongoing abuse on Twitter that seemingly they never do anything about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern is the Women in Football Group calling a tweet that read "Won the league by 10 points" inappropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There in lies our problem. Stagnating in championship year after year Different thread probably due for this but I suppose we could change strategy- unsure how much more we can spend however.

Better all round probably. It's hard to judge tbh because they won 5 games on the bounce without conceding before the break, and their dominance in games was higher than ever.

MATT BCFC Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 I find abusing people on social media very sad to be honest especially over something as trivial as this. At the same time the amount of celebrities and people in the media who are clearly virtue signalling is also very cringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the thing, all of our channels from the fans to the board to the cleaning ladies are all singing from the same sheet. Its something I’ve never experienced at our club and it’s ******* emotional to be part of, more than ever each part will defend one another. Let me add to that Bielsa bought a VW golf for the staff Christmas Raffle! (Only club staff lower end staff, no players, coaches, management are allowed to enter). He has taken whatever fragmented love each of us felt for football and the club, mashed it all together and we beat as one. Sounds soft as **** but I wish that every club could at least once experience something similar to this once a lifetime. We won’t win any trophies, but that doesn’t matter, the way we play entertains and more importantly brings us happiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 14 hours ago, Juan Domingo Roldan said: Look, she's a woman and we have to accept that irrespective of her crass opinion & lazy punditry, to call her out is 'sexist' & cannot be allowed because the baying mobs of virtual signallers will descend upon us all. Let us all forget that covid-19 is a despicable virus that has claimed thousands of lives in this country. People's friends & loved ones to boot. Indeed, LUFC lost a club legend, Norman Hunter, to this vile disease but hey, crass & inconsiderate comments that LUFC 'benefited' from the pandemic are OK when uttered by a woman. Is that what we are saying? How would Norman's family & friends feel when hearing or reading Karen Carney's comments? Lack of sensitivity, ignorance or plain arrogance? Has she reflected & apologised for the inconsiderate & offensive nature of her lazy remarks? As far as I am aware she hasn't but hey, LUFC are the bad guys in all of this bcuz they called her out. In hindsight, probably ill-advised because this is a vile world we now live in just like the pond life on social media who have to resort to personal abuse & the PC brigade who want to dictate & condemn anything that doesn't tickle their fancy. If you can't stand the heat then stay out of the kitchen. You have a go at virtue signallers and the PC brigade yet ridiculously call her comments offensive.... Can you not see the irony?

Mad Cyril Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 This whole affair highlights the worrying demise of the traditional sit-on-the-fence-just-spout-positive-football-cliches pundit. Out with these newbies who prompt debate. Dig up the nodding dogs who believe football is the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Once you accept that a large percentage of Twitter contributors are morons and trolls, just waiting to pounce on anything that they might deem as targetable..........then you will learn to avoid them?
