One of our young players recently showed a bit of maturity in his use of social media, unlike the idiot trying to induce him, and our players in general, to make insulting comments about their ex-manager.

I do hope the idiot in question is not a member of our forum. I doubt it. I can't believe any of our members would embarrass themselves (and, by association, the forum) in such a crass and infantile manner.

Well done, young Otis.

@OtisKhan63 fair play but you're a good enough player to have gained a first appearance anyway, big future at the club! But was he a wanker?
 



Nothing to do with me ...in case anyone was wondering given the name Deano appears in the tweets!

Many know I was not a fan of Clough but I would never get involved in anything this silly.

UTB

It's not just silly though. It's nasty, isn't it?
 
We got what we wanted with Clough leaving, a new manager in place, why some people have to act like they are in the playground is beyond me, this is another chapter for the blades not the time to berat the previous manager, the players and staff need to stand behind Adkins.
 
Lad who posted it looks quite young himself TBF, not sure this thread is doing anyone any favours.
 
Far worse happens on twitter and social media generally - but credit to Otis for a sensible response.

Evasive, just as I expected. You don't actually condemn this idiot, then?

I have already condemned the tweets as silly. They don't bother me as much as they appear to bother you though. I only commented on this thread to point out the tweets had nothing to do with me.
 



Always been impressed with Khan when I have seen him play, got some pace on him and a good shot. Glad to see he is sensible on social media as well.
 
Perhaps our players would be best served by not using social media (other than amongst friends). They leave themselves wide open to criticism and personal attacks just like they get on the forums.

Although Nigel Adkins is a twitter user it appears this is to educate himself as to what it is all about,having only joined twitter in the last 6 months.

'Royals’ manager has previously been an outspoken critic of social media and has often warned his players about using it'

The millionth nail in the lid of the coffin of "All footballers are morons" - but somehow the corpse keeps struggling back to life.

Also doesn't tally with the idea that the young players are terrified of Clough.
