Where is the line?

All I say with footballers, is that insults and jibes occur as much on the pitch as off them. It comes across as a bit rich sometimes, when they moan about the way they're ridiculed.
They do it wind each other up and try to upset a players concentration and composure.
Like Ratts is saying though, sometimes that boundary is crossed with race jibes or even comments about the opponents wife or kids.

So as far as terrace flak goes. Yes I'll stop when they stop.
Human nature says, insults do get a rise. Perhaps they should think about that, when they're winding supporters up.

But I'm talking predominantly the stuff away from a game ... cyber bulling and the relentless pursuit of players today.

Not of a personal nature tho. To comment on performance etc and how much work rate someone puts in is that fair game tho. The line could really draw back here to being censorship. I know again I have worked with some high flying premadonnas but if I were to go round publicly saying about there performance at work I would be stepping over a line!

Let me answer something here then Adi I'll make a change from the normal. I think football is entertainment and as such the participants are open to comment on performance and work rate, participation and team formations etc.

But the personal stuff why? Not every footballer is on a fortune. There are a few I know on here that in their professions can easily out earn some of our first team squad. People are mentioning PL

Give me £100,000 a week and you can call me what you want!

What about loss of privacy and the media being constantly around at your place.

You can insult another persons intelligence but you can't call someone a knob - where is the line?
