Graeme Souness with casual racism virtually every other week and not a peep. Ah you're one of those types that thinks he's racist simply because he criticises Pogba. Do you think José is racist for calling out Alli? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Radrizzani's comment standby for Leeds' official account to encourage fans to have a go at any pundit who doesn't praise them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Storm in a teacup. If you publicly comment about a club on TV, you might get publicly criticised for your view. If you don't like it, don't be a TV pundit. There's nothing "disgusting" about the tweet at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agreed that there's nothing disgusting about the tweet - but it shouldn't be the club account getting wound up about it. Leave it to the fans. They're just so precious about everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have to respond to all of the criticism or none of it? The disappointing thing is the fans' reaction to it, I guess the question is, to what extent are public Twitter accounts responsible for the toxic responses of their followers? There's undeniably still a huge problem with sexism in football, we see it on here pretty much every time there's a female pundit.

No, we had some poor form end of Jan but after a 1-1 away draw to Brentford we were back on it It's everybody's favourite narrative and was even getting mentioned in here after our ManU loss. The issue isn't the club twitter, the issue is backwards twitter fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will go 'hur dur what does Karen Carney know about football' well being as she was an actual professional player and international for 15 years probably a lot more than you Barry with your 4 seasons of Sunday league under your belt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue isn't the club twitter, the issue is backwards twitter fans. The issue is with both the backwards Twitter fans and the club Twitter. Why on Earth would an official Twitter account think that it’s appropriate to tweet that response fully knowing the response that it would generate? Bielsa’s style of football has led to burnouts in the past and there’s no way of knowing whether it would have happened again without the long break. It benefitted Villa - I think everybody on here would admit that. It’s not insulting to suggest that COVID may have benefitted Leeds more than some other clubs. I’ll agree Carney probably didn’t word her point brilliantly but I don’t think it’s difficult to understand the point that was being made. As for the chairman of the club doubling down on the issue and pouring fire on the flames, it’s irresponsible and slightly pathetic. Commentators and pundits will make throwaway comments about every team in the league. When your club is the only one responding in an inflammatory way it probably suggests it’s a strange thing to do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thoroughly expect our twitter admin to call out that Nigel pundit who said WBA shouldn't lose at home to the likes of Aston Villa and for both Wes and Nas to publicly praise the tweet. Oh, and Prince William can also use the Royal twitter feed (is there such a thing?) to condemn Nigel. It's the professional way to go about things and not at all something you'd expect from children. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
