Slagging off players needs to stop. (3 Viewers)

I just think we're going down the road of trying to police what people say on the forum and some of it is very strange to even care about tbh.
People talk ungodly amounts of shit about our own club and players, if they want to do it about other clubs and players it's hardly a problem is it.
No policing. I'm not a mod.

Just put my thoughts down after reading OP post about slagging players off

Between 'forum in shock as football fans don't think all players at club are good shocker' and the fans cucking to sell Rudoni to Southampton, I'd suggest this forum has gone rather wet in the last 24 hours.

Can we debunk the myth that Simms is a confidence player. His level of performance is consistent and doesn’t seem to vary in that way. He’ll get streaks where things go in for him but I think that’s just the game.

I think I made emy point pretty clear. I just find it bit cringe trying to say a professionals finish was bad etc based on personal dislike for them .

I don't have issue with people having players and clubs they dislike but if it effects views then it gets bit silly.
Being a football fan itself is being a massive nerd about men kicking a ball around. Then posting about them on the internet is the next level up

Oh that’s fine then we should definitely ironically cheer him winning a header if we don’t think it’ll stop him playing well.

Imagine being a young player considering a move to a club whose home fans are that stupid? Would you want to play in front of them?

I am fairly new to this and appreciate it is social media, but why so much negativity? Example..Simms hasn't played since April, I believe. Lots wanted him out. However, he played well tonight, gave his all, scored the winning goal and on another day, with more game time and confidence, could have scored three.. Not just about him. I have seen so many comments about tonight's game, how crap players were. Suggest people rewatch the game..I do go, I watched tonight on TV. Some Great performances from Andrews, Rafa, Brau, but they get slagged off, why? Even Bid well at CH!. Bizarre. I appreciate if you are at the game and had a few beers or sniff, it looks different. Seriously? Sure I'll get lots of abuse, but hey!
As much as I agree, we need to get behind the 11 players that FL chooses and puts on the field.

However, its an Internet forum, the same as in the pub or at work etc, people will.see good and bad performances and call them as such. If you can't share your opinions on an Internet forum designed exactly for that reason, then we may aswell all give up.

Ellis Simms for example, you say he COULD of scored 3 lastnight, id say he SHOULD of scored at least 2 with all the chances that fell to him.

I would much rather people on here moan and beef about this shit player and that shit game they had etc, than have fans ironically cheer a player winning a header like we had in the ground lastnight.

Well yeah I was there and I didn’t hear any booing. Thought you might have heard something but forgot you don’t really go to games.

The ironic cheers for Simms were pathetic as was the rendition of the King song.

Ah, the old 'you don't really go to games' line. It's not true though, is it? I don't go to many games due to having two young kids and the 6hr round trip to home games but I'm hardly a 'plastic' supporter FFS.

I'm glad you agree with me on the Simms jeering.

Like I said I just wondered what you’d heard but then I realised you wouldn’t have been there. No big deal

Another aspect to why slagging players off on here is counter productive, is that it is inconceivable to think that some players brought up in this digital era dominated by Social Media don't come on here to see what's written about them, regardless of whether the club advise them to or not. It is basic human nature.

For example, I'm convinced that Jordan Shipley did so, and it ruined him. Given his muted response to scoring recently I suspect that Simms might also be someone that does so, and possibly Matty Godden before him, who also stopped celebrating goals with the fans.

There's no way they don't look. It would be impossible to resist even when you know it's going to be a load of idiots talking shit.
