Social media abuse in football
Scunthorpe UNITED!
July 16, 2025 at 3:46 am #306954Let’s hope that people within the club are keeping a very close eye on the young man
People Are People… Depeche Mode.
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully?
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully?So we’re different colours and we’re different creeds
And different people have different needs
It’s obvious you hate me, though I’ve done nothing wrong
I’ve never even met you, so what could I have done?I can’t understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understandPeople are people, so why should it be

(Help me understand, help me understand)Now you’re punching and you’re kicking and you’re shouting at me
I’m relying on your common decency
So far it hasn’t surfaced, but I’m sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel from your head to your fistsI can’t understand

July 16, 2025 at 7:13 am #306965This ducking stool mentality reminds of the 4-4-2 situation ,online people will get so wound up it will effect the atmosphere at GP, I genuinely hate the way our fans are now and for that matter many of our fans .
They seem to think that because someone is in football they have to accept dogs abuse, pretending that their contorted faces and screaming is constructive and they have a right because they paid £20 . This Keeper will have a bad season in their eyes, one mistake in a an over all good game will see them seething and foaming at the mouth even if we win. They’ll ignore the bad back pass or misplaced header from a centre and claim he “flapped”. It’s happening in pre season already .
As for this inexperienced nonsense, if these people got their way there would be no experienced players as you can’t play young ones . Players gain experience ,they aren’t just sat on a shelf marked experienced players.2 users thanked author for this post.
July 16, 2025 at 8:02 am #306968Having said all that when young inexperienced keeper gets that nod of approval he must grasp it with both hands (awful pun) especially against such lower league opposition.
The one things for certain all these fluff’s shall we say will make him or break him I really hope it makes him, twould great for himself and the club.
I hope he’s coping with the undoubted pressure and enjoys himself.July 16, 2025 at 8:06 am #306969Unfortunately Keepers are the scapegoats.
It’s a massive confidence position as one mistake can mean you lose a match. Nobody ever remembers the one or two fine saves to keep you in a game.
I was chatting to Paul Robinson a few years back. One bad back pass from Gary Neville which took an awful kick up off the turf and he was made the villain.An outfield player makes a mistake and it’s all forgotten about within seconds.
Nobody has experience anymore in many workplaces because they don’t get the chance to show their worth.

July 16, 2025 at 8:57 am #306971Most ridiculous reaction on social media last night was the claim of cover up on SUFC X regarding Alfreton’s goal. Were Alfreton in on the conspiracy too?:
‘Trialist gets his second goal of pre season as he brings us level with a header from a left wing cross! YES!’

July 16, 2025 at 9:14 am #306973I made similar points to you Roaming Bull on another thread on this theme and was told I talked nonsense by one of the anti Campbell brigade. They clearly had not read or absorbed the points I made before rushing in to spread more negativity, they can’t help themselves. I fear young Campbell could be in for a rough ride if these people turn their social media attitudes into live vocal vitriol on match days, I wish the young man well this season and the fanbase should unite and get behind him and just give him a chance.

July 16, 2025 at 10:04 am #306976You know how the inexperienced gain experience don’t you?
Getting thrown in at the deep end!
Yep, that’s how I remember learning to swim in the small pool at Scunny Baths all those years ago.
July 16, 2025 at 10:12 am #306977I understand and appreciate the concern. It’s the reaction that’s unfair on the lad and stifling his growth that I question.

July 16, 2025 at 12:02 pm #306985Suppose that’s another negative about playing at piddle grounds, even though only 3-4 hundred at cleggy, the one mans voice shouting at Butler to get another keeper was heard by everyone.
Same at Buxton (Farsley game) Beck misses that sitter and there was an audible groan, it was very funny mind.
Your never going to stop reactions to incidents though, the clanger at cleggy almost everyone reacted in some audible form.
And everyone has a different solution to events, mine was and still is we need someone better behind the sticks at this moment in time reentering the NL, halfway through the season not pushing for promotion or relegation then give a rookie a good run imo.
Other opinions also available lol. -
