Morepork Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) i just despair at the abuse of freedom social media facilitates....... So many people feel that can say what they want without a second thought to the implications. Its an absolute disgrace that the government and social media companies have not policed this system. Too many people simply cannot differentiate between freedom of speech and hate. Edited February 17, 2020 by Morepork 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't see how you can police it, what you find offensive someone else would see it as reasonable and vice versa, but I agree with your sentiments.

Have you not read or do you not understand what Westwood is saying? In my post I made clear it was a rumour and said that "I could believe it". I in no way suggested it was true, nor tried to rationalise it as anything other than fact and conjecture... merely my own personal opinion that I "can believe it". To be honest mate, it sounds like you have more of a problem with the rest of Owlstalk deciding it's definitely what happened, rather than me openly admitting that they're rumours I just happened to think could be how things went down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deciding you believe something about somebody based on rumour and not knowledge and then publicly posting this opinion about them is wrong. Sorry. I'm not blaming you personally. We all have been doing it to differing degrees. It's just not right to do it about individuals who then have to deal with it on a day to day basis. Its bound to affect people and we should take more personal responsibility. I'm starting with the man in the mirror... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Jos was out of his depth from the start, not really a question of trust. IMO Monk has the potential to be a good manager for us but we have to back him and give him time. At the moment, he’s got a gun against his head in the sense that he’s trying to turn us around on the field but with lots of poo going on off it eg FFP. He’s trying to remain calm while all around him are losing their heads! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest REDAs_biG_piECE Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Genuinely heartbroken reading this statement Westwood is one of the few genuinely class players we’ve had since the premiership days and his record speaks for itself. One of the reasons I fork out £640 a year for a season ticket is to see genuine quality like him who has that edge not to see a young pretender who whilst a nice lad and decent shot stopper will never be in the same league 34 is also no age for a keeper and we’re living to regret this decision already Gutted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only social media I do is OT because this is very occasionally informative and sometimes makes me laugh. Posts are also sometimes unpleasant or gossip and can be personally targeted. Our own house(s) in order first? In this case I think it's correct and fair to take statements, in this sort of situation, from individuals at face value and to credit the person making them with honest intent.

Westwood is now on a list with Abdi, Hutchinson, Hirst Jnr, probably Rhodes too. I think all the debate of Monk vs whoever, Jos vs whoever is sort of pointless if it’s all above their heads. (Ps. I’m not sure what is classed as making rumours, guesswork or speculation... but that’s my opinion). No no no it all started when Westwood shagged Abdi's wife's poodle or summat..dirty ba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiejohn Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Looks like a sad end for a genuinely great player the best keeper we’ve had since hodge. He was terrific in his first three seasons especially the first his performance that season against Norwich was the best goalkeeping performance I’ve ever seen with half a dozen world class saves that drew audible gasps of amazement from the crowd. I for one will always remember him as a top class player who would have graced any Wednesday team I’ve ever seen including the early 90 s teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
