Used by complete flaps Absolutely As said previously, comments about people’s family should be off limits. I’ve got a little girl and another on the way next summer and if anyone spoke about them like this I’d rip their head off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play. Weren't so quick to do it for their own fans for some of their deplorable acts this season but I don't want that to sound t it for tat at all, even though I realise it does. Anyway hopefully it'll be a shock to those that are thick enough to act in a similar way in the future.

I think personally there’s no issue with it there as hopefully the reaction toward it and the rest of the actions have been so strong that hopefully it deters people from acting similarly.

I didn’t intend to post the stickers but there were several asking what I was referring to. There has been singing, threats, fans online. The stickers were only a small portion of what has gone on and were printed after the initial abuse. Showing posters that people have been calling her names and posting it on stickers isn’t going to make the situation worse.

I don’t want to argue or be petulant especially when there’s such an issue currently. I understand your view but people are aware of what is being said and that is posted on the stickers. Don’t feel like seeing the stickers will incentivise or provoke any negative action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say so. The blades felt it was acceptable to post and what was posted on the stickers wasn’t any piece of new abuse I hadn’t mentioned in my original post. Needless, if posters feel like it is detracting from the effect I am trying to have them by all means, report it and get it taken down mate.

Hertfordshire Owl Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I agree with all the above criticism of anybody who puts out this kind, or any kind, of personal abuse on Facebook, Owlstalk, Twitter or any social media platform. Its stupid and reckless and tarnishes the reputation of all fair-minded and intelligent SWFC supporters - and football supporters in general. Its only Football - its just Sport ! These things are supposed to be fun and life-enhancing and not excuses for showing hatred. I don't understand how anyone can truly hate another club or opposing players and managers. Fierce (but friendly) rivalry, fine - we can all feel that, but hatred? Come on - reserve that for ISIS, Al Qaeda, the BNP - those who truly deserve it - not sports fans and other teams' players. Idealistic? Maybe, but there's too much hatred in sport, especially football, and too much in the world generally. Maybe we should all try to dial it down a bit. Starting this Friday. We might all feel better for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Rat Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I have literally no idea of the background to this but given that some of our “fans” were apparently involved in abuse of our own Chairman’s family this further low follows a similar pattern of vile behaviour. Unspeakable and indefensible. Families must be off limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic1978 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 What a fantastic thread well done owls! To target a young girl just because her dad manages United is deplorable. However seeing this reaction is fantastic, both clubs have an element of idiots who drag the clubs name through the mud. It’s only a minority but this minority are the ones usually shouting their mouths off behind the safety of their computer. At the end of the day it’s only football and we are all pretty much made of the same stuff regardless of who we support. I have never been so proud as when there was a minutes silence for the 2 lads who tragically died in a car crash and United fans had made a banner with their name on. I’m 100% sure the sentiment would be reciprocated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am ashamed that these scum bags call them themselves Wednesday fans. It makes me sick to think what this young lady is going through. Name and shame them!!!!!!

AwokenGiant Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Shambolic from a minority of our fanbase and anbody singing it should be ‘dug-out’ by our fans - similar territory to a minority of Utd fans who sing about our chairman’s wife!

striker Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Unfortunately every club has a section of morons who attach themselves to it and fail to separate real life from the made up world of social media. Banter and rivalry is ok to a point, but must be underpinned by mutual respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
