That era was sooooooo bad. Pubescent teenagers screaming obscenities and racial slurs, ugh.CoD generation as in a generation of shit talkers behind a screen
And form is all about confidencePeople forget players are human. Janssen told he was not wanted on transfer deadline day, do you want to go on loan to Brighton without any consideration for his personal circumstances. Players including Trippier wondering all week if they will get a game. It is ok for the likes of Kane who is guaranteed a starting place but Trippier fought to get the number 1 place with Walker and thought he had achieved it and then the club bought Aurier. He probably is very insecure at present wondering how many starts he will get. Then these idiots make these comments. It can only increase his insecurity which if picked could result in him playing under stress and having a poor game.
That's because the victims of their abuse figured out how to use private chat which left them to cannibalize themselves.That era was sooooooo bad. Pubescent teenagers screaming obscenities and racial slurs, ugh.
Fortunately however that seems to have absolutely died. I'm not sure when it happened, but whenever I fire up a competitive multiplayer game on Xbox now it's dead silence in chat.
It's variable depending on the player, however. There are many, many top level athletes that feed off of negativity and use slights, perceived or real, to fuel their competitive fire.People forget players are human.

I think the E-sports scene played a part as well.That's because the victims of their abuse figured out how to use private chat which left them to cannibalize themselves.

The rise of e-sports have lead to a clamping down on such behaviour. Effectiveness can be debated but it could be seen as a factor, at least in the way that some kids/people that game tend to take it more seriously in hope of going pro and thus have no time to chat shit
The only person I have ever told to eat shit on any social media is a British pro wrestler (of all things). I stand by it tho since he is a convicted wife beater who locked his x girlfriend in a room after beating her.I wouldn't abuse anyone on social media, whether they were a Spurs player or whatever. It's cowardly bullying, full stop.

Fair one. I assume he's not the bloke in your avatar. If he is, you've got some fair sized balls on you...The only person I have ever told to eat shit on any social media is a British pro wrestler (of all things).

Still thinks he can just walk around like nothing's happened so I'm fine throwing a curseword his way.
Nah. Hama (the man in my avatar) is too pure. His one flaw is when he forgets twitter is an open social media and he retweets BBW porn and his timeline freaks out.Fair one. I assume he's not the bloke in your avatar. If he is, you've got some fair sized balls in you...

It honestly shocks me that anyone would write those things about Trippier, a player who has only ever given 100% for the club and has always been respectful to us.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.

....and that's your opinion is it...?Most people think their opinions actually matter but they don't
...erm, 'cos they're probably not ALL Spurs fans, and because this is the best squad we've had for years!This is without a doubt the best squad we have had in years I just don't understand why these mugs want to undermine that and throw abuse at people, its bizarre.
