I feel it’s unfair to compare performance management at work with the ramblings of a mad man you’ve never met on social media. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a player in there somewhere. The game where he last gave a pen away, he also pulled a ball out of the air while doing a full pirouette - never seen anyone else do that. Maybe if we stop giving him dogs abuse that player will come out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's made a poor attempt (at the very worse) of trying to gee up someone. Then the world goes mad.... Or is it me? It’s you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does it only work one way? 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatter Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 When criticism turns to downright personal abuse of this type I think Moses is right to put it in the public domain. It probably means he’ll get more of it as is being shown on Owlstalk by some tonight. Personally I think it’s quite a brave thing to highlight the abuse some of our players get. I would imagine Fox had even worse at times and not surprisingly didn’t see fit to extend his time here. Seems to me we have a sizeable minority of fans suffering from a weak mentality too, judging by the reaction to his moderately worded answer to his abuser. Prove em wrong Moses, we’re not all waiting for the next defeat so we can hurl abuse at all and sundry. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We conceded 5 at home to Blackburn and 5 away to Brentford. That isn't down to a lack of ability that is simply throwing in the towel and giving up which is unacceptable If our players want support they have to earn it and put their bodies on the line every time they step out on to the pitch Do you not see the difference between complaining that a product / service isn’t up to scratch and faceless keyboard warriors abusing people in the public eye with foul language and zero constructive comments ? ? ?

@owlstalk Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 It seems that some of our fans are STILL under the impression that slagging players off directly on their personal social media accounts will somehow improve them as footballers Where do you even begin with THAT kind of logic?
