WooJung Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 That mistake which came to nothing was horrible. Not sure where he's at with his head, you'd think that after making an almost identical mistake last weak he'd be extra careful with those. I don't think you can blame him too much for the goal, Martinez deflected closer to Salah than to Mings and he got there first, and expecting mings to outrun Salah is unfair.

Lacking a bit of confidence perhaps. When the team goes through a period of struggles even the basics seem to very hard to get right. Just look at how poor we are with passing the ball! First half of the season that wasn't an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people get their kicks just from getting a rise out of people. Wouldn't surprise me if it was some edgy kid who just saw an opportunity to abuse people.

Demitri_C Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) He looks about 12 years old whoch makes you wonder where they pi k up this kind of shit and where they think this kind of stuff is acceptable. Disgusting little creep. I cannot believe this social media companies cannot pick up and filter this shit out so the message never gets to mings or anyone else. I hope the club does boycott social media like other clubs are Edited April 16, 2021 by Demitri_C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Would be nice if the collective group of fans could unite and do something to speak up in support and disgust.

tinker Posted April 16, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2021 Time for a 24 hour boycott of social media,needs a respected public figure or figures to draw a line , set a date and get as many people on board as possible. Social media is largely run by Ai, posts are banned by algorithms not people. People need to take back control before these destructive elements cause disproportionate pain and suffering by abusing AI's dehumanising algorithms.

chrisvilla4 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Mings should come face to face with the person who said it. Pretty sure that would show them up for the coward they truly are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 What does a boycott of social media actually do? A day, a week, a month, who cares. The second they start up again nothing will have changed. Close the platform down or change the law around having access to an account. Making people directly accountable for breaking (newly established) international laws if needs be. Anything else won't stop the idiots from existing and having access to spout their racist nonsense to anyone they want. Root cause isn't going away without education though.

Demitri_C Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Just an idea but would people on this site be willing to change their profile pic to the below for 7 days in unity with tyrone? If we can drub enough interest maybe even other sites and villa fans will do the same. If it really catches on we can as fans do a boycott from the social media sites for 7 days. Maybe even some of the players might start latching on to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
