Karl Fletcher Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Anyone else starting to get really annoyed with the amount of coverage this gets these days? Footballers are, by and large, thick as shit and do not live the real world like the rest of us. I wish the Media would stop jumping on every single fucking thing they say, it's getting very boring. Obviously racist remarks etc have to be taken seriously but ffs, who really gives a fuck what pops into the head of Rio Ferdinand/Joey Barton every five minutes? Link to comment

Aye, but on the other hand it shows them up for the 'tards they are, which is always funny #KarlFletcherLargeLadyLover Link to comment
Dynamo Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Aye I hardly follow any footballers, especially not that prick Barton. I see Frimpong from Arsenal called a Spurs fan a "scum yid" the other day, thick as shit footballer, haha. Link to comment

I've stopped listening to talksport in the morning which I used to like because they now focus a lot on what certain sportsman say on twitter. footballer managers should ban their players from this shit. oh and Rio Ferdinand is a fallopian tube Link to comment
Henry Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Joey Barton is a fucking tube also, just like to point that out. The Fiver yesterday had a link to his personal website, tragic stuff. http://www.joeybarton.com/ Their comments on it reminded me a bit of Millertime For exploring his website heightens the suspicion that Joey Barton is not sure what he wants to say but knows he wants it to be intelligent. Often, it seems, the breadth of his interests exceeds the depth of his research and thought Sometimes he raises points to consider but then ignores complexities as if they were just hecklers in the crowd, then wades in behind one particular view seemingly in the name of that most appalling of pseudo-qualities, no-nonsenseness.

Twitter is shite footballers or no footballers. Only retards tweet their thoughts. Normal people keep their thoughts to themselves. Add Facebook to that as well. Both drivel and best avoided. 3 1 Link to comment

V for Vendetta Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Twitter is shite footballers or no footballers. Only retards tweet their thoughts. Normal people keep their thoughts to themselves. Add Facebook to that as well. Both drivel and best avoided. Couln't agree more. Twitter is compete horsepoo and just another way for self styled celebrities to feed their ego's by sharing every tedious moment of their tedious lives with us proles. Ingorant scumbags the lot of them. If I ever did sign up to twitter I'd have a policy on not following anyone who tweets such drivel or considers themselves a celebrity. Following someone like a F1 team engineer might be interesting if he is tweeting before and after races but other than quite specific things like that I can't see the appeal. Why follow a football player? Of all the groups of people on the planet "celebrities" and footballers must be the 2 groups we should all be least interested in the thoughts of - thick, ignorant, spoilt. Facebook is almost as bad. I'm on there but tend not to use it much and 99% of the pictures, comments and status updates people post are a complete waste of time. The only thing that stops me deleting it is that for some friends it is a means to keep in touch. Otherwise I'd have been long gone. Link to comment
boboisared Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Aye I hardly follow any footballers, especially not that prick Barton. I see Frimpong from Arsenal called a Spurs fan a "scum yid" the other day, thick as shit footballer, haha.To be fair he was replying to a Spurs fan who said "I hope you break both your arms and both your legs".

Dynamo Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 To be fair he was replying to a Spurs fan who said "I hope you break both your arms and both your legs". He was hooked in by the bait, poor show. he should have just retweeted it and the boy would have got it from the Arsenal fans haha. Link to comment
Foster14 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 To be fair he was replying to a Spurs fan who said "I hope you break both your arms and both your legs". To be fair, you have to be a bit of a neep to use the term "yid" if you are a public figure on twitter nowadays. Scum cunt would have sufficed. Link to comment
tup Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 What about fans creating false twitter accounts of other fans to amuse themselves? Does it get any more banal than that? Link to comment

dj_bollocks Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I think Twitter is an interesting device but in the hands of football players whose IQ's often match the shirt number on their backs, it's ill advised. I don't really think it's the FA's place to intervene on someone's personal tweets, more it should be an employer if they have some sort of social media policy or obviously the police if they've broken the law. And if you can't handle the criticism or the fact that you will receive a bundle of insults then stay away from it... Much like this place don't rise to the trolls and anglers... It's more than just Bieber, Gaga and 1Direction fans if you choose to use it that way... Link to comment

Henry Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Emmanuel Frimpong has suggested that the reason he isn't in Arsenal's squad to play Chelsea in the Capital One Cup is because of his race. When asked on Twitter why he hadn't been picked for Tuesday's match, Frimpong replied: 'Lol I wanna laugh. 'Sometimes I wish I was white and English #realtalk.' Arsene Wenger in racist shock!
