    Josh Wright has been involved in some form of social media spat with some celebrity person. I mean, obviously nobody cares, but is this the way we want our captain behaving?

    Does it bring some negative publicity to the club etc? Or could we say he should be focusing on more important things?

    Or does it even matter at all?

    Freedom of speech and all that stuff. Problem is if you silence them, then you only ever hear what you want to hear. Generally as long as they are not using stuff like the C word or threatening harm towards another person, slander or physical then we have to give the player's a break, after all they are only human like the rest of us who spout a load of bull most the time anyway :)

    superbob -- I agree with brb.
    As brb stated, as long as there is nothing illegal going on, Josh is entitled to have his say - just as you have given your opinion on his 'actions.' I don't see why he should be criticised for defending his position or responding to any adverse banter - which would appear to be the situation. Would you just 'take it' without response ?
    The 'celebrity' status of the persons involved is unimportant, ( not forgetting that Josh is also a celebrity ), everyone is entitled to answer their critics - and I don't see too much wrong in the 'human' emotion showed by Mr. J.Wright........ it's not as if he's just Kung Fu kicked a fan in the stands
