It wasn’t anything personally directed at you @Ghostwriter. Just referring to the incident where a person in a position of power crossed the line and tainted the moment for the player. Where ‘the line’ is? That’s subjective, but if in doubt then pull up well short of it.

As for Thomas Matthews - looks like a ripper of a kid. Give him a hug on my behalf too. Just promise me you wont stick your tongue in his ear.

A little bit of Jamie Elliot about him from his highlights - one can dream.

That's the most exciting quote I've read all pre season. As you say One Can Dream. I'll join your that dream of yours if you don't mind.

Idk what this means, but a male supporter hugging the W players at training would never happen IF THE PLAYERS HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT. Same goes for a female supporter hugging the M players at training, or anyone, regardless of their gender.

The club isn’t worried about hurting a supporter’s feelings. If a player is creeped out or for any other reason doesn’t wish to engage with a supporter, trust me, the club will immediately put an end to it.

It’s not unprecedented. There have been cases where a supporter has been banned from contact with players. As recently as 18 months ago a huge fan (and player-sponsor) of the W was unceremoniously cut off from all contact with the W players due to “unwanted attention.”

I hug the W players at training, too. But this is never an issue on here 🤷‍♀️

Really don't think you have to justify your great relationship with the players on here Ghosty. We are just glad you spread the love and pass it on here.

It’s called having an opinion.

Most opinions are fine as long as they agree with me.

Young Thomas Mathews is in excellent physical shape, been working out in the gym whilst rehabbing thats for sure.
