It is not a witch hunt to be critical of a player who is simply not good enough. Being critical is not being abusive. Footballers are paid by us to do a job. It is perfectly acceptable to point out their inadequacies.Alan G Bryant wrote:Personally I would never criticise a player for being crap, but I would criticise a player for not trying. I have not seen Marlon not try and I find the witch hunt against a player blighted by injury really sad from some so called supporters.
Some evidence might make the argument stronger though. Like "he's never played higher than back garden level against gnomes, gets out of breath climbing the stairs and the only step over he's ever done was when there was a puddle in the street". Or something like that. Otherwise it's just unsubstantiated criticism and that's barely above abuse.Stan A.

That is fair comment. If I do not play to the best of my ability you can also add that I am a cheat who in effect steals money from the paying fans.
Sorry my fault we were playing at European level when we played on park pitches against players who got paid a tenner to play!Harps62 wrote:In the immortal words of Del Boy

Oi, I was only getting £20 plus transport in the LoW in 1996 (and despite much arguing that was slightly above parks level even then)...Bush wrote:Sorry my fault we were playing at European level when we played on park pitches against players who got paid a tenner to play!Harps62 wrote:In the immortal words of Del Boy

Tbf I agree with you that unsubstantiated criticism isn't necessarily abusive. Which is why I said it was above that.Stan A.

X is no good is not abusive, A post that contains that remark alone is not capable of adding to a discussion but to be offended by that rather requires the type of mind that wants to be offended.
