I don't disagree with you sue but nothing you or I do will change it, if you are a high level sports person in any sport simply don't have public social media and don't read it. Now I know that we see on a daily basis that being good at a sport does not make you a rocket scientist. The only suggestion I have is don't go in the kitchen. 2 Quote

I used to go on a couple but would always leave feeling dumber than when I started. It sounds arrogant but I like talking about football with people who know football. Not so much people who say the most obvious things all the time. Then there's the negatives, as ugly as things get here they multiply 3 times on there. And that's before all the unregulated, allowing racist comments/hatespeech behaviour. 2 Quote

Dr.D 1,771 Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 What's wrong with it? These players and coaches get paid a lot of money to perform very poorly. They deserve the criticism, especially when it's effort based and it's the same issues year in year out. 1 Quote
John Crow Batty 8,892 Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) Judging from the consistent dross served up by our players over the past decade and longer it is obvious they are incapable of being shamed for their efforts. It’s like screaming and yelling at the Moon. Nothing to see here. Edited September 5, 2020 by america de cali 3 Quote
Robot Devil 1,895 Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Is it the inability of supporters to attend matches where you can yell and cheer (i.e provide instant feedback to the players and coaches) which results in the negative side of that pent up activity spilling out onto social media in a more visible and permanent way? Now I’ve never abused any player or other supporter at a game, however I do miss the rush of a good goal and clapping with the crowd so hard that my hands hurt. 1 Quote

Cannot give you an example of Dees ones because I seldom go on any Mr Shadow I just give them all a wide berth based on what I saw a couple of years ago. Unlike Demonland there is little if any control of the sites and while I am not a fan of censorship I am also not in favour of bullying etc either. If people had to use their real names etc half the sites would disappear over night. I might add there would be a few on here that would disappear as well. Edited September 5, 2020 by old dee 2 Quote

The best way is to ignore them. This is what i meant DERRRRR. you took it the wrong way. I am not a troll l don't support them. Quote
Fork 'em 7,052 Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 My main issue is the potting of the young blokes with only a few games under their belts. Clowns want them to be superstars who take the league by storm straight out've the gate. 1 Quote
leave it to deever 17,618 Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 I dont use facebook but public naming and shaming players on such a major social platform is not good. But I suppose its kniw different to what mpi st of us (guilty as charged) have done here on demonland. There are a few posters much more levelled headed than myself thay do refrain from dissing players. Perhaps players should not come to demonland but its harder for them to avoid fb. Its not easy for supporters of this club not to get frustrated and hence call out non performers. I havent any answers but I having vented I feel better. Much like naming players after that horrible swans loss. I could say Ill try not to do it but I know I probably still will. Quote
