Bilic confirming that abusing players effects their game

[lancs blue]

God, Ive put in some hours on here today! Think I'll keep slavens words to meself next time. Tell the dog or something

I guess it must have been woof for you

They need physiatrists mate

The world of modern media means they are never going to be immune from criticism

They need to show what they are about on the pitch and get their heads in the right space

Shame too many are happy to take the wage these days

I don’t get this “happy to take a sage” myth. They’re pro footballers with a limited shelf life, they want to achieve things, same as you and I. It’s another if those “myths become facts” nonsense

Paw me

here's a hug and some compliments, everyone calling you out on not working hard and not playing well and not taking responsibility are just big meanies, do what you want, it's all fine?

Literally nobody said this?

Bilic was a disgrace at Efc once told a new signing how awful it was at the club, Walter smith found out and made Bilic apologise to the whole squad for his behaviour

When I mess up at my job, typically my boss would have a talk with me like an actual professional. It's not like some nobody off the street who has 1% of the talent walks over to my cubicle and screams incomprehensible nonsense at me.

*changes job

If you can't cope with criticism, you aren't gonna get very far in any walk of life.

Lord knows what Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Tom see on Twitter, must be rough though. Couple that with hearing it at the ground and also in the streets, must be pretty exhausting.

Or, true.

Me and my lad used to see him every match day outside the players entrance, pretending to be on his phone whilst having a sneaky cig.

So what are you saying?

 

[TexanToffee]

So what are you saying?

I'm saying that fans hurling insults and abuse at athletes is wrong. I don't really care what fans say or yell in the stands but I'm more specifically talking about tracking them down before/after matches or in their personal lives. We may be talking about two different things here.

Nobody is saying that players shouldn't be hearing it for poor performances. The disagreement is from who should be giving it. Your comment almost makes it seem as if we're saying criticism of any kind shouldn't be allowed, which is just silly.

Whats his thoughts on play acting to get another player sent off in a world cup semi-final ?

Nobody should be threatened or abused, of course not, but someone calling a sportsman, a very well remunerated sportsman who's wage comes from the fans by hook or by crook, out on social media for poor form or a lack of effort is absolutely fair and if that is too much for some sportspeople then they should consider a career change.
