He doesn't understand the use of hashtags, but after someone glassed Maynard's mum in the face at Coventry - leaving her with 16 stitches - we don't make a good name for ourselves amongst our treatment of players famalams.

Sick innit blud......

Seeing as his last # is #bristolfans he has wound me up now.

Also, he put "if you got Offered a promotion you would take it"

I read that as he has Already been offered something, if that's the case I would rather he left now. Just for the fact that I do not think any player should be here if they don't want to be.

If he has been offered something without the club's knowledge (which the earlier statement suggests) then that's tapping up and illegal so the club should report this to the fa

This is all a bullshit ploy by the Bolasie's.

If Yannick doesn't ask, in writing, for a transfer then the club are liable for the rest of his contract. All this twitter stuff is purely to force a wedge between player and club / supporters meaning the club will flog him without the official request meaning ££££ for the Bolasie family and agent.

Put it in writing and **** off if you want to leave Yannick and cut the bull crap.

This is really pathetic.

Everyone's going on like Bolasie is to us what Van Persie is to Arsenal. Apart from the goal against Coventry I would say he has been largely disappointing and you'd have to look hard for any sort of potential or form. The fact that he got young player of the season was a bit of joke and wouldn't have happened if he didn't score the goal against Coventry. He's 23 and still playing like a headless chicken.

Yannick should stay and apply himself and it could work out but unfortunately a London club may have come calling and he'd probably like to get back to his family. Also if he sees that Albert's staying he's probably thinking he's gonna be sitting on the bench.

To be honest, he's far from being a major loss to the side.

So lets try and get a few things cleared up here... according to the agent Bolasie went to see DM and asked to be put on the transfer list. The agent then took that story to Sky Sports who then ran the story. BCFC then made a statement categorically denying they had received a request from the player. Sky Sports then altered their story and/or pulled it. That appears to be all we have been told either by Sky or BCFC. We have to assume, for the sake of the most basic of professionalism, that Sky did receive information from Bolasie's agent sufficient for their editor to run it.

The one common denominator here appears to be the agent. So, my questions are these; why would the agent go to sky? To alert other clubs? Hardly because an agent has contacts at many clubs and would simply pick up the phone. The only reason he would go to the press or the media is to force the hand of Bolasie's current employer probably because he/Bolasie feel that BCFC have not been listening.

That is the logical explanation of why an agent would seek publicity. However, I do not believe for one moment that City would not listen to any concerns a player or his agent, on his behalf, might have. And why would there be a blitz of these undermining tweets all in the space of a day? As a result we have a player who's apparent brother (do we know it is his brother and not a hoax?) has debased the rumour to his own detriment and that of the player. In return some pretty dumb 'fans' have slated the player for apparently wanting away. To me the entire episode has been a complete and damaging farce initiated by an agent hell bent on causing maximum embarrassment on a club just 2 days before the start of a new season. No matter what has gone on behind closed doors that is the height of unprofessionalism. Bit like that abhorrent transport union threatening a strike the day before the main athletes were due in the days before the Olympics.

The other possibility is that instead of being unprofessional the agent is lacking in intelligence. Either way he sinks the profession to a new low, if that were possible.

Well there must be interest from somewhere, probably Palace. His brother alluded to that in his tweets too.

The agent will therefor want to gain publicity to start a contract war, either City offer a new contract or Palace come in with a bid and contract for him. Either way the Agent gets a pay increase.

This has obviously back fired with Yannick half-wit brother wading into all of this on Twitter. The player would have preferred to have kept quiet and then either outcome is good for him and he doesn't look like a petulant money grabber, that's prbably why he took himself off of twitter.

So if I've got this correct from my two 5 minute looks at the forum in the past 24 hours, Yannick gets hammered based on a story about his future in the media, including abuse for which he has closed his Twitter account; this chap who says he's Yannick's brother makes a pretty unsurprising and inocuous remark about not knowing all the facts which seems to me to be a) a pretty reasonable summary of the position at that time and b) an understandable defence of his brother who can't speak for himself without getting into trouble. The result being some City "fans" (presumably the same ones who have wasted no time hounding Yannick) start getting into it with this chap too, who loses his temper and gives as good as he gets (not saying a lot, if I can predict the sort of remarks some "fans" will stoop to)

Putting aside the fact that NONE of the people involved should ever have been given access to the Internet, this is Yannick's brothers fault how? His original remark is one I would have made if I was in his situation, it was inadvisable only in so far as it was always going to "draw the fire" of whichever morons were throwing abuse around on the Internet, but in isolation was actually one of the few things that Twitter does well, it provided some quick and relevant alternative insight, that machine-fed news sources are not going to provide. This remark contained no abuse, it simply reminded certain people about the pretty reliable maxim that there are two sides to any story (or in this case non-story, since abuse was already flying without any official story) and it was a pretty normal defence of a relative.

This whole thing is an embarrassment - if there is anything going on the lad himself is obviously ill advised by an agent, nothing new there, but the only visible facts in the meantime are quite how nasty and destructive some of our fans can be. Some people need to take a good hard look at how they behave and if any of them are adults they should be ashamed they have so much time on their hands and so little sense of responsibility. People want to have their cake and eat it. Give some guy abuse for putting his head above the parapet and then come running on OTIB saying Yannick's brother said this, Yannick's brother said that, it's the sort of cowardly nonsense you expect from a 5 year old. Wind someone up then go telling on them or whining about what they said (and I'm not directing this at the OP, its just a general point about how some of our fans behave in their conduct with players, abuse them, then take the higher ground).

It's pathetic, it really is, and from that microcosm of the original Yannick's brother remark which was at least insightful as a point of view, we now have all that is wrong with the car crash that is Twitter and footballers/football fans - a total mess. Every bridge burned, a lot of nasty things said, a lot more hate flying around than existed a few hours previously, and absolutely nothing achieved. So question is why do it? It's not constructive and if anything it is destructive. And I'm not overdoing this in relation to all this Twitter nonsense when I say I wonder why people like Steve Lansdown do it. They make a very conscious decision to be constructive about this club and throw money into it, while some no-mark sat in his pants in a dark room at a computer can make an unconscious decision to be destructive and actually cause the club harm. When the club use the word 'ambassadors' they're not being patronising, seeds are sown by how fans deal with others, even in places like Twitter. For sure Yannick right now is history after all this, a few other players may think twice.

What I really hate about all this pantomime is some of these superfans who will trot out the "no one bigger than the club" line with a real venom for some players, yet like the hypocrites they are actually do everything to suggest they assume they're bigger than not just the club but all our other fans too, by taking it upon themselves to represent us all with their moronic nasty hate-filled behaviour. Arguing on Twitter does not help the club, period, so if that's your thing, and you're doing it in the name of City or City fans, well then guess what, you're actually precisely the sort of person who does think they're bigger than the club, far more so than any player, because that sort of person actually believes their own personal need to act tough and let off steam and rant and rave at others is, however destructive, far more important than thinking first and doing what might have been in the clubs interests. Honestly, this might seem like an epic but I just despair at these people, I really do. We all moan about our club and it's perpetual failures, but some of us are part of the damn problem.

If you've ever heard the expression "crabs in a bucket" you'll know what I mean, some people will keep dragging us back down to the level we're all spending so much time and money trying to get out of. Anyway, I obviously expect this to go completely over the heads of the people it is aimed at, who with no sense of irony will probably within days be on Twitter asking another City player "can I get an RT as I just passed my driving test" or some other identikit pathetic excuse for a bit of self publicity via the role of groupie to a player whose colleague one minute the next you're hurling vitriolic abuse at when you think they don't love your club anymore. What a load of self-serving emotional two-faced garbage. And before anyone accuses me of double standards, full disclosure: I created some comic strips for this forum and a t-shirt about Micky Maynard after he had given up on the pitch, left the club and talked **** about us. None of which Yannick has done, nor his brother, when the abuse started flying..... It seems so patronising to say but please please can some people, and they know who they are, grow up or shut up, FFS. And please leave players alone, it's alright, they'll survive without hearing from you.

And how anyone can label twitter as bad is beyond me, it's a great discussion tool - unfortunatly there are a vocal minority that can't communicate without being abusive.

Great discussion tool. Do me a favour. I've never read such illiterate rubbish as appears from Twitter at the top of this thread. In fact, I don't even understand what is being written.

l the agent is lacking in intelligence.

He's not the only one. It appears that the majority of participants in this sorry saga couldn't scrape a brain cell between them. This is a new low for this forum.

This club is a complete joke sometimes, and by that, I mean the fans.... All the tweets to Yannick is just embarrassing.

Any wonder players never want to join us.

unfair to single us out - every club has its fair share of idiots, twitter just gives them a platform and a voice

I agree with Badger there. Though I dont think this is just a club problem - seems to me that about 90% of football fans are complete morons who cannot communicate without using foul and abusive language. I mean none of us know what the real story is here - we havent even been confirmed whether this is Yala's brother or not.

I find it funny that since the Olympics a lot of us have been saying that footballers should use the Olympians as role models, well I don't think its just the footballers that need to change its the fans to, I really am sick of people who use football as an excuse to behave aggresive and abusive towards everyone and everything.

This.

And as for slagging off twitter; morons are morons, no matter what medium they use.

I use twitter everyday and it can be funny, informative and interesting.

It's not twitter that the problem its the braindead idiots who think that some BS story on Sky Sports gives them license to insult and tear into a young man who plays for our club and who, until now, has never come across as anything other keen to do so.

There is no defence for this sort of behaviour in my eyes, other than the person slinging insults has mental health/anger issues. Ashamed to be a city fan if these knuckle-dragging morons are able to call themselves the same.

They're an embarrassment to this club.

A very salient post Olé but you need to add a "tl; dr" as the people who you aim this at aren't going to read it due to its length or understand it if they did due to its use of multi-syllable words.

It seems so patronising to say but please please can some people, and they know who they are, grow up or shut up, FFS. And please leave players alone, it's alright, they'll survive without hearing from you.

one of the best posts I have ever read.

So if I've got this correct from my two 5 minute looks at the forum in the past 24 hours, Yannick gets hammered based on a story about his future in the media, including abuse for which he has closed his Twitter account; this chap who says he's Yannick's brother makes a pretty unsurprising and inocuous remark about not knowing all the facts which seems to me to be a) a pretty reasonable summary of the position at that time and b) an understandable defence of his brother who can't speak for himself without getting into trouble. The result being some City "fans" (presumably the same ones who have wasted no time hounding Yannick) start getting into it with this chap too, who loses his temper and gives as good as he gets (not saying a lot, if I can predict the sort of remarks some "fans" will stoop to)

Putting aside the fact that NONE of the people involved should ever have been given access to the Internet, this is Yannick's brothers fault how? His original remark is one I would have made if I was in his situation, it was inadvisable only in so far as it was always going to "draw the fire" of whichever morons were throwing abuse around on the Internet, but in isolation was actually one of the few things that Twitter does well, it provided some quick and relevant alternative insight, that machine-fed news sources are not going to provide. This remark contained no abuse, it simply reminded certain people about the pretty reliable maxim that there are two sides to any story (or in this case non-story, since abuse was already flying without any official story) and it was a pretty normal defence of a relative.

This whole thing is an embarrassment - if there is anything going on the lad himself is obviously ill advised by an agent, nothing new there, but the only visible facts in the meantime are quite how nasty and destructive some of our fans can be. Some people need to take a good hard look at how they behave and if any of them are adults they should be ashamed they have so much time on their hands and so little sense of responsibility. People want to have their cake and eat it. Give some guy abuse for putting his head above the parapet and then come running on OTIB saying Yannick's brother said this, Yannick's brother said that, it's the sort of cowardly nonsense you expect from a 5 year old. Wind someone up then go telling on them or whining about what they said (and I'm not directing this at the OP, its just a general point about how some of our fans behave in their conduct with players, abuse them, then take the higher ground).

It's pathetic, it really is, and from that microcosm of the original Yannick's brother remark which was at least insightful as a point of view, we now have all that is wrong with the car crash that is Twitter and footballers/football fans - a total mess. Every bridge burned, a lot of nasty things said, a lot more hate flying around than existed a few hours previously, and absolutely nothing achieved. So question is why do it? It's not constructive and if anything it is destructive. And I'm not overdoing this in relation to all this Twitter nonsense when I say I wonder why people like Steve Lansdown do it. They make a very conscious decision to be constructive about this club and throw money into it, while some no-mark sat in his pants in a dark room at a computer can make an unconscious decision to be destructive and actually cause the club harm. When the club use the word 'ambassadors' they're not being patronising, seeds are sown by how fans deal with others, even in places like Twitter. For sure Yannick right now is history after all this, a few other players may think twice.

What I really hate about all this pantomime is some of these superfans who will trot out the "no one bigger than the club" line with a real venom for some players, yet like the hypocrites they are actually do everything to suggest they assume they're bigger than not just the club but all our other fans too, by taking it upon themselves to represent us all with their moronic nasty hate-filled behaviour. Arguing on Twitter does not help the club, period, so if that's your thing, and you're doing it in the name of City or City fans, well then guess what, you're actually precisely the sort of person who does think they're bigger than the club, far more so than any player, because that sort of person actually believes their own personal need to act tough and let off steam and rant and rave at others is, however destructive, far more important than thinking first and doing what might have been in the clubs interests. Honestly, this might seem like an epic but I just despair at these people, I really do. We all moan about our club and it's perpetual failures, but some of us are part of the damn problem.

If you've ever heard the expression "crabs in a bucket" you'll know what I mean, some people will keep dragging us back down to the level we're all spending so much time and money trying to get out of. Anyway, I obviously expect this to go completely over the heads of the people it is aimed at, who with no sense of irony will probably within days be on Twitter asking another City player "can I get an RT as I just passed my driving test" or some other identikit pathetic excuse for a bit of self publicity via the role of groupie to a player whose colleague one minute the next you're hurling vitriolic abuse at when you think they don't love your club anymore. What a load of self-serving emotional two-faced garbage. And before anyone accuses me of double standards, full disclosure: I created some comic strips for this forum and a t-shirt about Micky Maynard after he had given up on the pitch, left the club and talked **** about us. None of which Yannick has done, nor his brother, when the abuse started flying.....

Nice one Rob. If I'd read this in a quality national daily, I wouldn't have been surprised. You've hit on a much broader topic here: the damage that the self-appointed 'super fan' is doing to football. Unfortunately it's precisely those people who will read your posting and dismiss it (or not understand it) and then carry on as though nothing happens. I think I only come here now out of a sense of morbid fascination: it's like a reality TV show that you pretend to take a serious interest in, but actually, if you were honest, you're only looking at the freaks and the weirdos. This forum in itself is becoming something of a freak-show.

As i see it.... He's been talking to his housemate Carayol and now sees the kind of money he could be earning if he pushed it.

Exactly my take on it. His best mate has had a move, probably got some cash and a payrise and Yannick fancies a bit of that.

Agreed; on there the freaks are only really damaging themselves. On here, the freaks are in danger of taking over the asylum.

It is damaging our club.

Absolute nonsense.

What do u suggest? Wrap them up in cotton wool to protect them from the barrage of abuse that might hurt their, very deep pocketed, feelings??

He is on a social media site, his agent has clearly had a phone conversation with sky sports as quoted in the second story. Instead of completely dispelling and damning the rumours, he just goes and deletes his account without a word......not the actions of a man who wants or is able to state the stories as false.

All this talk of embarrassing fans, well what do you expect? This guy isn't Adomah, he isn't a top rate Champoknship footballer destined for bigger things.......he is a 2nd rate impact sub who bar 20 minutes at Coventry has done sweet **** all.......bad advice from an agent or not, he is 23, not 18, he isn't a little sheep anymore, (well shouldn't be).

Unfortunately because he has done so little for bristol city, the reaction is going to be understandably negative, especially through the means it's happened, and that gets people's backs up

If Adomah, Elliot, Skuse, Fontaine etc handed in a transfer request 1) would be done like this? No 2) would they be so negative jumped on? No.

The guy has done so little for us to warrant a first team place, in fact he has done next to nothing yet obviously wants to move on. Get rid.

Oh come on Ole, anybody who reads this forum knows what an incredibly thoughtful and intelligent poster you are.

But this is far more simple than you portray it. Skysports put out a story about Bolaisie that is allegedly confirmed by his agent the club categorically deny this story and the most important person in the story the player himself says **** all, no admission, no denial, exactly what sort of reaction do you expect especially on the eve of a new season and coming so close to another embarrassing cup exit, all he had to do was/is confirm or deny it's that simple, his silence speaks volumes in my book and whatever guff the player and/or the club come up with now he is damaged goods IMO.

The club has denied it. Why does the player have to get involved?

I presume he is getting involved anyway. Someone he employs (his agent) has gone to the media firstly to give them an anonymous heads-up that he wants to leave & then to inform the media that BCFC is lying by denying Yannick has requested to leave. He'd only have to come out and say something if his paid representative was lying himself.

The only conclusion to draw from this is that - Yannick has definitely requested a move & BCFC are lying (or ignorant of a conversation between YB & DM).

All this Tw @ tter crap just goes to show what sort of person uses that form of multimedia, mainly 15yo keyboard warriors who wouldn't say anything to him face to face.

BCAGFC

Utter nonsense. Twitter is full of intelligent, considered opinion from intelligent, insightful individuals. It's also full of the aforementioned keyboard warriors, but that's true of any medium.

You can't blame the medium for the individuals who choose to use it.

That may be the case in anything non football related but when it comes to football matters, it is the worst form of media, 12yo kids claiming to be football agents, people who say they are 'ITK' but have no idea what's going on, players who really should know better (Rio Ferdinand) & finally the morons who abuse players.

No other form of media has that range of idiots.....not even Facebook....and that is saying something.

Quite embarrassing aren't they?

What !!? You're the embarrassing one, you're reading what his numbskull brother is writing and assuming all his comments are because people were abusing Yan.

On the contrary - I made comments to him saying I'd met Yan a couple of times and what a lovely guy he is. My comments were that people were swaying Yan to move - and that it's money behind it. I also said in my opinion agents are scumbags that turn people's heads ensuring there's not an ounce of loyalty.

If that's embarrassing then very sorry I'm sure !!!!

That may be the case in anything non football related but when it comes to football matters, it is the worst form of media, 12yo kids claiming to be football agents, people who say they are 'ITK' but have no idea what's going on, players who really should know better (Rio Ferdinand) & finally the morons who abuse players.

No other form of media has that range of idiots.....not even Facebook....and that is saying something.

Again, untrue. The football writers and journalists on Twitter are extremely interesting and informative. I'd never have encountered blogs such as Zonal Marking and Swiss Ramble, or publications like the Blizzard without it.

Like anything, it's what you make of it and who you choose to listen to that will determine its value. There are thousands of interesting people who will give you insight and opinion you otherwise wouldn't have considered. There are also a lot of idiots but it's up to individuals to decide whether they engage with them or not.

There is a problem, because it's opened a channel which allows the idiots to send abuse at one another 24/7 if they so wish, whereas previously a footballer only had to worry about what he heard during matches and occasionally in the street. Society and the law haven't worked out what to do about that yet, but it's important to understand that Twitter is not the cause of the problem, merely the conduit by which it has been exposed. If it were closed down then, yes, the problem would lessen, but surely the answer is to look at why people feel they can say these vile things in the first place?

I'd also contend that it's not just children. Twitter may attract the younger members of society more than the elder but I've heard some awful things shouted at players from the stands by men who really should know better.

What !!? You're the embarrassing one, you're reading what his numbskull brother is writing and assuming all his comments are because people were abusing Yan.

On the contrary - I made comments to him saying I'd met Yan a couple of times and what a lovely guy he is. My comments were that people were swaying Yan to move - and that it's money behind it. I also said in my opinion agents are scumbags that turn people's heads ensuring there's not an ounce of loyalty.

If that's embarrassing then very sorry I'm sure !!!!

I don't know what in particular has caused you to get sand in your vagina, but self appointed superfans giving Bolasie and his brother abuse on twitter on the basis of hearsay are definitely embarrassing. If you're one of them then yes, you're embarrassing us. If you're not then why have you taken such offense?

For example we've got one embarrassing loser calling his brother a knob, a nobody, moron, typical shit stirrer and telling him to grow a pair, shut up etc. The irony seems to escape this moron.

The guy who used #daft**** hashtag actually made a very valid point to the lad we think is his brother, then lost all credibility with the hashtag!

I'm gonna ask again - how do we know this is his brother?
