    With Robson it's that he apparently thinks he's brilliant.

    It now seems that if you're an academy graduate you are to be targeted more and more.

    Young lads FFS. Some of the relentless pressure put on teenagers at our club is put of this world.
    Angry manchildren abusing young men trying to get on with their carers. It's pathetic really.

    It's a really weird side of humanity that's only been allowed to be shown through the rise of technology and, particularly it seems, social media. Things get said that would never be used in a face to face context. This is compounded by the fact statements linger for all to see.

    Been wrong before (aye) but when I first joined United Mad I really don't remember the number of different players getting the amount of abuse they get on here. CCFS springs to mind maybe but I don't remember too many getting the kind of criticism they seem to get now.
    Maybe we had better players but I don't think it's just that tbh.
    When young players especially go onto sites like this and read that stuff it's not going to strengthen the bond between players and the fans on the terraces.
    But people have a right to slag off players on sites like this, sure they do so i suppose its here to stay.

    I know its a serious subject....... but I had to laugh at the wee spelling mistake. Dont know if its the angry manchildren or the abused young men that need carers.

    A constant theme in our society now, no just in the fitba world.

    A platform for the insignificant and unstable, nasty and angry to spout bile.

    Will never change now unless there is more enforcement. Nae chance.
