Quote number 6="number 6"Re the twitter messages Trueman has supposedly received, I'll take with a pinch of salt, he only follows about 260 people, so to receive messages of anyonew, not just fc fans they both have to follow each other or your are unable to message that person.'"
Does it really matter how many messages he has received? He's still receiving them as did Scott. I don't agree with Scott labelling the whole fanbase as toxic like he did but I can also understand why he made such an outburst when he's receiving such messages.
The discussion should more be about what can be done to stop players receiving such messages in the first place. Because they don't deserve that. In fact no one does because this isn't just about sports people or "celebrities" as we can all be victims of such things. More needs to be done to stop people hiding behind phrases like "freedom of speech", "entitled to my opinion" and even "banter" when they are really just being vile, abusive and toxic. At the moment there's no real consequences to such behaviour.
And that's not just aimed at us. As Homme Vaste says, every club has it's fair share of idiots as does every fandom whether it's your favourite TV show, films, your favourite band etc.
