Boro player charged over social media posts from 2012

[JL1985]

Need to take him down to Sunhill for a stern talking to.

 

[Guinness Guzzler]

Absolutely crazy. Mind I hope that any time we sign anyone into the academy we tell them to delete all their old posts. Not worth risking something being dragged up by some sad sack with nowt better to do than trawl years of social media posts

 

[KGC83]

Absolutely f***ing embarrassing by the FA

 

[Baz]

Stop the world, I wanna get off!

 

[Herberthall]

 

[Pilly]

Nah I think it's just the FA being dicks mate.

It avoids them doing anything meaningful to tackle real issues. A tick box exercise to say- look we’re doing stuff with little real effort at getting to the root of a problem

When he was 14 years old.

shootings not good enough for these people.

fancy the shite i would have come out with at 14 if twitter existed back then

 

[Exapno Mapcase]

Who'd want to be judged on their 14 year old self? Can nobody learn and change? It isn't such a bad thing to check he knows it's out there and ask if he is still of the same mind but heavy handedness is no way to deal with it. In the past 9 years society's norms have changed and pretending the way people expressed themselves then hasn't changed is of no use to anybody.

I know I used terms thoughtlessly as a teenager I would never dream of using now and haven't in aeons.

 

[Quinnymelad]

Pathetically woke. Common sense in short supply.

 

[Herberthall]

Will this thread attract all the loonies from the politics forum?

 

[Flea Market Trader]

He was a bairn for goodness sake.

I've already posted in it the police forum so hopefully they can stay there

 

[Black Cat Gypsy]

I'm more disturbed that someone went out of their way to scroll through Marc Bola's social media to see what his views were when he was 14.

 

[Roadhouse]

There’ll be loads of stuff like this on social media, 14 year old lads are immature and will say things they’d be embarrassed about as an adult. Clubs should be telling players to delete all of their old posts to keep them out of trouble.

i'll reserve judgement until i get full details of the case, maybe these abusive social media messages led directly to a crime or the recipient came to harm as a result. victims of online bullying and abuse have been known to kill themsels iirc mate.

 

[mackemal]

If (and I know its a big if) common sense prevails he will be give a strength talking to and held as an example for bairns nowadays keep the snowflakes happy (or not whinging anyway)

Well done marra

I think something might just have surfaced by now and not left for 9 years if that had been the case.

Ridiculous
