Is personal abuse of our manager/players acceptable to fans on here?

The internet is the internet and people who wouldn't say boo to a goose in the real world come online to write the most offensive trolling kind of rubbish but I am getting tired of reading comments from people with nothing to say about how the manager looks on here which is a shame because it is also a nice site to read breaking news. Is it better to block people who come out with this kind of stuff or let them express their idiotic opinions with no comeback? Not mentioning people by name on this so they don't get the attention they obviously need but its hard to read threads on here when this stuff crops up randomly. It reminds me of being back at school to be honest when I see it.

 

Fair point but everyone is entitled to their opinion. I think you will find that the majority of those 'die hard fans from yesteryear', however much they moan about the players, manager, owner will still be here in 50 years (age allowing!!), and will never give any less than 100% support to Hull City AFC.

 

It goes with the territory I would suggest. That said there is never a need for anyone to go over the top as happens sometimes. However on the other side of the coin as an example, Nigel Pearson abusing his clubs own fans (in public) and refusing to apologise!!! Within moderation anything and everything should be allowed, much of which is light hearted banter. Unfortunately like yourself navigating through the crap brings its frustrations.

 

I really hope this isn't in reference to the Poodle Parlour.

If so, whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh

 

You're a ****ing liabilty who posts **** on the internet and never goes to matches pal

 

I don't think, Mr Lahey, is complaining about genuine opinion, just the personal abuse aimed at the man and not his methods or results. He has a point, but it would get the same reaction as taking a favourite toy off a bairn. on cue

 

Personal abuse should not have to be tolerated anywhere, but its only personal if aimed directly face to face really (unless of course that person reads the posts on here). As Mr Lahey aludes to, there are many on here who wouldn't shout boo to goose, and are 'internet hardmen'. Easiest thing to do is ignore their childish comments. Granted easier said than done when that abuse is aimed at you.

 

The fact I engaged in conversations with pseudo put me off further engagements on forums.... I prefer to read posts now and leave the rest to the usual suspects.

 

I agree with you, but also think it is a tit-for-tat and a bit of response is not out of place.

 

Try reading all of the posts on this thread so far and then compare them to your sub-normal contribution...... Does it tell you anything??... No didn't think so.

 

And you're just a ****ing internet ****er

 

Nigel Pearson didn't 'abuse his clubs own fans' He replied to one idiot who was slagging him and the team off. One idiot who was probably drunk for a week when the same Nigel Pearson got his club promoted to the Premier League a matter of a few months ago. So apologise my arse.
Every club has it's **** stirrers, and I would say Hull City have more then most for the size of our club. We suffer from the football v rugby league argument for the moral high ground. RL will always look to get one over 'soccer' but The FA do not need to prove anything to the RL minority, which might be a fine in other parts of the country but in Hull, we are left to defend/promote our club/game ourselves and besides the last 12 years it hasn't been an easy task.
Before the internet we had the very dubious Sportsmen Say letters column in the local rag. Littered with fake names and addresses, RL supporters bigging up their game and support whilst rubbishing us and 'soccer' at the same time. One particular contributor from Skidy rubbished City on a weekly basis and his letters only stopped when the club eventually did the impossible (according to him) and reached Wembley and the Premier League. He actually does exist and his driveway gates have a HKR crest on one gate and a Liverpool FC one on the other.
Then came local radio phone-in's and 'shock jockey's' Dave Gibbons thought he made his show more interesting by winding up City fans. Seems we have one on RH now who thinks the same way.
The nameless texts that are read out parrot fashion, the pointless 'Hull is a rugby town' myth campaigned raged by the local media a few years ago and still referred too when they can get away with it, the linking our manager ( Taylor/Brown/Bruce...) with groundless stories of them leaving for bigger clubs every time we hit a decent run of results, then pressurising them when the results turn the other way.
Pointless cheap journalism.
Stories of unrest amongst the players based on a whispering campaign. Why not some real news ( add positive) about the club instead?
Forums, websites, facebook, and texting, gives all the **** stirrers the cover they thrive on. They can undermind a manager, a club, a player and so on by posting rubbish at their leisure without any come back at all,
We have them on this forum.
I doubt if some of them would cross the road to actually pay to watch Hull City. Yet they have an opinion on everything and it's usually a twisted negative one.
Its not banter either,
Its a cancer.

 

I've no idea if you go to matches but 90% of what you post here is abusive **** with no merit , maybe you think you are funny in some way , you aren't

 

Well your a ****ing idiot

 

I believe players check these sites. Not as much as they once would with twitter about now though. I've no problem brutally assessing players but some of the personal abuse players get in passing comment is harsh and only shows the posters up who do it as small minded little saddos. Get a banner going with Not606 on it then you can bet your life you'll get a few players lurking here.

 

Of course, they'll be many who'd avoid at all costs, everyone's different init.

 

God bless the faceless keyboard warriors ... they lambaste the players and the manager but let's hear it for the despicable ones who vilify the coodles and punts ... especially, those, like me, who think that with the squad we have, we might be doing a bit better and have the temerity to ask why we are in the bottom three.

 

Who are you to make free with this liberal temerity whatsomacallit?

 

Fez, are you sleep deprived, up early or drunk from last night?
