Why should high profile people avoid social media because some people are complete scum with nothing better to do? That’s like saying women shouldn’t go to bars/clubs because there’s men that might spike their drink.
As a society we should not accept it and work on weeding the scum out rather than have the attitude of ‘what did you expect’ to the recipient of the abuse.
In regards to the booing, it was embarrassing on Saturday. A group in front of me in the Kop booed at half time, booed after the second goal and hurled abuse at the players for about 5 minutes, then celebrated like we’d won the league.
Don’t get me wrong, I was as unhappy as anyone and can’t say I was happy after the game, but booing adds nothing. It drains the players of confidence and compounds an already inept performance.
