I remember Wesley came on in a game and stadium was buzzing, I think it was Newcastle at home It will be absolutely crazy when Ty comes back 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) I'm far from a bed-wetter but that image he used this morning was pretty ominous. Very glad he's doing ok. Edited November 21, 2023 by Mantis 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted November 21, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 21, 2023 Sooooo....in the time since I last logged in to VT, Ty has retired, everyone lost their shit, then unretired. This has been a weird day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) Some of my favourite posts from today were posts I saw on Villa Twitter and Facebook from Villa fans with " ITK " information: Confidently posting " I'm hearing from my sources that he is set to announce his retirement " Some people really are absolute clearings in the woods. Guessing if that's what it actually turned out to be they would falsely claim ITK for the foreseeable future Edited November 22, 2023 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a special brand of arrogance for people not involved in a panic. Especially after it's over. Not to say that everyone should assume the worst at everything, that people shouldn't be more critical or that jumping to conclusions isn't stupid, but have a think why people are panicking before passing judgement So why were people panicking? I mean, even if the totally groundless conclusions some leaped to were true, it's hardly a life or death situation is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying 'why did people have a strong emotional response to one of our longest serving players possibly retiring early from an injury'? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a strong emotional bond between Mings and a large proportion of the fan base. Granted, he wasn’t dying, but I think the panicked reaction was a result of fans’ empathy for a man (character/symbol) they care about on some level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tomav84 Posted November 22, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2023 people are allowed to have a reaction to a sombre looking photo posted by their (for many of us) favourite player. it doesn't make them bed wetters, wet lettuces, or any of the other entitiled insults thrown around you didn't have the same reaction. good for you. well done. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This call you received - were they claiming some kind of ITK status or were they honest enough to state they'd simply noticed Tyrone's social media update?

Indeed and others are allowed to say they think it's an overreaction to one photo and the news of an upcoming update - not an announcement, an update.

Popular Post S-Platt Posted November 22, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2023 I am just glad he is working his way back to fitness Mings encompasses Aston Villa for me. The day he signed was the day the juggernaut started to where we are today on the pitch at least. A leader of men and all round brilliant human I love him. Looking forward to his next update. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I make no apologies for getting a bit emotional at thinking he might retire. Mings is my favourite player in the 25 years i've been following the club. It'd be absolutely gutting to know that injury ruined his career just as we appear to be taking off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 No, nothing wrong with that. I just think the whole thought of he might be retiring in the first place was very extreme. Medical science is amazing these days. Even if he doesn't return to the level he was at, retirement age 30 would still be very extreme. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about how you get from a simple photo with a promise of an update to somehow concluding that your fearing the worst must have come true. That's quite the assumption.
