What is the general feeling about negatively @ing Spurs players in social media?
I've just seen Trippier post a tweet saying something along the lines of "looking forward to the first CL game tomorrow #COYS" and amongst the first 5 of 6 responses you've got Spurs "supporters" replying to him with things like "hope you're not playing" and "you'll be benched". I mean what sort of brain dead nasty little cunt does that?
People will say they don't read it or it doesn't effect them but a) I believe both to be false and b) it's not really the point. (Roses recent comments about fans reactions to his contract extension being evidence of the former. And he isn't even in social media!)
As a Spurs fan I see nothing wrong with coming on forums like this and voicing your option on players, positive or negative but when it comes to directly messaging them with abuse that's crossing a line. Not to mention it can only have a negative impact.
Regardless of whether you like or loath a player messaging them ahead of a game with abuse has got to be the dumbest most counter productive thing a fan can do.
Maybe I'm alone in this thinking but social media really does highlight just how many absolute cunts there are in our society. It's rather depressing.
