It’s a bit of banter about the football, no one is calling for him to be sacked or saying he’s reprehensible or anything. The guy has been all over the Internet giving it back in comments, I think he’ll be fine.

Where does it stop? Literally any comment could push someone over the edge, the original comment could have unsettled Jones and cost him his career. As could half the stuff we say on here. At some point everyone’s got to have their big boy pants on.

I would of understood if the tweet was tweeted at the club or Jones.

I’m all for a bit of banter, and no doubt this is epic shithousery of the highest order In my opinion.

However as a professional club which promotes “be kind” etc I can’t help but think this is a serious error of judgement.

It appears the twitter poster has taken it in good humour, however with the no doubt influx of new messages/abuse this will create , it’s not the most sensible move by the club.

Imagine if the poster took it badly, and something awful happened....the club would be vicariously liable and in deep sh*t ....all for a few likes and retweets.

I’d tend to agree but since posting, he’s showed no remorse and even come on here with his shit banter and kisses at the end of his messages giving it the big ‘I am’, rolling out the arse covering statement in almost message with ‘I hope he proves me wrong’

Think you have missed the point entirely. It works both ways, for Jones (initially) and for the poster of that tweet who dealt with the repercussions yesterday.

The club works with mental health charities , (including mind) etc and is professional so it should remain that way.

I would argue the club doing “banter” for literally no other reason than to get likes which as a result, means Cov fans send messages to one person is borderline cyber bullying.

You think he will be fine? Thats great good for you , but you cannot make that claim, no one has any idea what people go through on a daily basis.

It was funny but it shouldn’t have been done by the club, it potentially has reignited it all again.

“it’s banter” is the poorest excuse used for absolutely everything.

Is that fake Alan Nixon account David? Looks to me as if he's making fake accounts.

David has taken it well on twitter to be fair to him. Time to move on.

Stupid by the club to bring it up. Gives him more ammunition to fire back at the club if Jones doesn’t have a good year, and gives him exactly what he wants: attention.

I don’t actually think it is just banter. I think it’s an important bonding process and part of Jodis healing TBH. The guy clearly has thick skin and the quote tweet was mild as you like but it serves the purpose of rebuilding some of the rift that the original tweet caused. Yes Jones shouldn’t have QT’ed the original but he’s a 22 year old kid who has been through hell and clearly the comment, posted to the pusb hashtag, had got to him. Him hitting a screamer and through the club putting that tweet out is his way of saying he’s pushing past it. I’m sure the OP is happy to see Jones score ascreamer as we all are.

I honestly don’t see the problem and I am not a fan of online pile ons at all, but I don’t think that’s what this is. Just a light hearted bit of banter that will bring all fans including the OP together with the club, being overanalysed by us lot.

It's the 4/5th account that has popped up in recent weeks that is tweets exactly the same thing as he does. It's just a bit strange.

me neither, very strange. I’d hazard a guess that it’s him or a close friend given the recent replies, accusing people of worshipping Jones because he has a presence on social media. Jesus, he’s hardly Carl Baker level, not by a long shot.... Not that anyone could ever take his crown

I think the guy who tweeted probably thinks it’s fair enough, I doubt he’s majorly upset about it.

Our social media person is excellent at his/her job, fair play to them.

therefore proving once again that if you do want to act like a twat, social media ain’t the place to do it because once it’s out there it’s out there and you can’t control it or do anything about it.

And you could argue that that club has been just as bad in biting and retaliating to it.

As a professional club with over 100k followers they should know better and be better.
All this praise for the social media team is laughable

So a player gets a personal dig on social media, aimed squarely at the CCFC ‘bubble’, the player in question instantly shows he’s still got the ability to score top class goals against professional opposition, the club defends its player and some fans are criticising the club in this scenario?

I hope the OP is happy and has achieved his goal. I hope his imminently forthcoming podcast that has got zero publicity from all of this (honest), does really well despite the awful pile on the club caused. And I hope some of you open your fucking eyes to the way social media works. Welcome to the Trump, Farage, Johnson, Hopkins et al way of using outrage to attract clicks and followers.

It’s like the way people rubberneck at road accidents. People follow controversy because they want to see the mess it creates, regardless of the pain it causes. I’d suggest OP knew exactly what he was doing, timing is bang on for his podcast.

But let’s slag the club off, yeah?

You could argue it, but you’d be wrong.

Being unhappy with your club or a particular player’s performance and expressing that on Twitter is fine. But what this lad did was needlessly and unkindly preemptively dunk on a player who has had bad fortune with injuries. He’s forgotten this is another person he’s talking about.

What Jody and the club have done is channel that energy into something positive. I love it.

It’s weird, I fully understand people will feel the other way but plenty of people talking about his upcoming podcast. For me, I had earmarked to listen to it when I knew Jamie was doing it, but now will steer well clear because I don’t wanna listen to something with this bell in. Despite what people say, not all publicity is good publicity

Agree above. Seeen the guys twitter for months and want nothing to do with his podcast. All talks about be kind are well and good but when the original tweeter then creates an account and starts replying to everyone with xx and cheers sweetie xx he clearly don't give a fuck so he's fair game for me.

And perhaps what the club rather naively has done has forgotten that behind a twitter account there is also a person and their actions (with a substantial following) could have made the situation a lot more worse.

Works both ways

It is obvious to me, never said it isn’t.

However as a club there are consequences vicariously and their actions could be interpreted as making a mockery of “be kind” and all the good work they have done with mind.

As I said it’s subjective but could quite rightly leave the club open to criticism...it works both ways.

I’ve not slagged the club off, jeez people get so precious, I even said it was epic Shithousery, that’s hardly me not endorsing it.

But just because I raise a word of unease about it, I am now slagging the club off yeah ok....absolute nonsense.

Take your emotional attachment to Cov out of the equation and you may see the elements to this where the club could be criticised.

You can’t promote mind, men’s mental health and all of the “be kind” movement and then arguably do something which could be interpreted by others as cyber bullying and feeding someone to the lions (regardless of the dubious nature of the original post)
