I also understand that football's just a game. However, it's "the sport" for many supporters and Leeds have some of the most intense supporters. If you think it's going to be care bears, rainbow slides and unicorns when you don't do your job then you are in the wrong profession. Go work for the government or be a librarian if you don't want any friction in your career.

with that being said... threats as a keyboard warrior or personal threats from afar are BS. Like others have said on threads "say it to his face" if you are such a man. it's over the top and not worth anyone getting hurt or dying over but say it to someones face if you want to threaten him or his family. Social media breeds this pathetic behavior. In past times many of these people would have their ass beat if they said the things that they say on social media.
Or would have said it down the pub where people would have told them not to be so stupid.

I do think there is a world of difference between expressing an opinion about a player on a forum (within the bounds of humour and decency) and putting stuff out there on social media channels or saying it to his face.

I suspect a lot of people who make such threats would be incapable and too fearful to act on the threat having no keyboard to kind behind but it is a little symptomatic of today’s world that people often speak or type/send without exercising any degree of caution or thought to what they are saying.

They don’t seem to have too many role models in politics either setting the right example and some pundits (Gary Neville comes to mind) who seem to think they have the answer to things they know little or next to nothing about or just otherwise talk testicles.

Question sera sera.
