Fantail Breeze Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I haven’t listened to Bruce or read his interviews, because he repulses me. But I saw this quote: "Things like someone saying they hope I die of Covid and all of this." I mean, he’s not lying That’s been said on this forum multiple times. That's true, however there should be distinction when people are saying death threats to general abuse. Agree. It’s also interesting he’s never thought to mention it until now. Two weeks ago we were all sending him love letters, apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binnsy Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Listening to Alex Bruce on Talksport earlier the only thing he came out with was someone had called his dad a c**t and another wished his dad would get Covid. Obviously wishing Covid on someone is not a nice thing to say or do but it's not a death threat and i'm pretty certain Bruce would have spent nearly his entire career getting much worse abuse at every away ground he visited when playing for the likes of Man Utd.

Danh1 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 The worst thing about it is the social media sheep all leaping to his defence, when 2 days ago they were tweeting someone similar abuse. Honestly the day they announce fans are allowed back into grounds, this moron will shit his kegs. He can’t handle the job behind closed doors, let alone in front of 40 odd thousand disenchanted Mags sick of his shite management and embarrassing attitude towards “his” club. Hopefully Wor Flags lift their self imposed ban and take the flags in that we seen on Barrack Road after the Villa game a few weeks back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Think he's shot himself in the foot here, there will be a fair few fans who were still sympathetic previously, but surely his constant whingeing about getting a rough ride here will piss them off.

Stifler Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Death threats are out of order like, but as him and his son spend their time baiting our fans to get a reaction from them they can hardly complain. If Bruce spent half the time on the team/tactics then he does on baiting fans then there wouldn’t be anything to hate him for to bite back against.

Darth Crooks Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 He could always resign. If it’s as bas as his dick head son says. One person saying “I hope he dies of Covid” is not a fucking death threat and probably a child. This is such bullshit. I can’t wait till this cunt is gone. He even has the balls to equate it with racial abuse Aye some mental levels of conflation going on - I still don't know how this is being brought up by journalists simply talking to Bruce.

Minhosa Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Wonder what the 'mighty Rafa' thinks of verbal abuse? Or even 'some bloke who took Bournemouth down'? Wonder what their views would be? Also, why did Rafa not get any abuse when he was here? Same finishing places, similar points...................that's what the Brucites keep selling.

KaKa Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 It's so difficult to enjoy any aspect of supporting a club when the manager is so unlikeable man. Can't believe we're back to this again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Sarcastically hoping someone was dead so they can't own or manage your football team anymore (Ashley, Bruce) is a bit different to "I'm going to come to your house and stab you in your sleep". I've not done either but I'm pretty confident if Bruce had been getting the 2nd example then he'd have gone to police or brought it up sooner. Just more blowing hot air from the useless trollop.

TRon Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 See the thread about Kevin Keegan has been bumped as well. Talk about a contrast. Keegan came here when we were in the 2nd division, we were basically a David Kelly kick away from getting relegated to the 3rd, but Keegan never made managing us sound like the torture Bruce would have you believe. Useless fat ingrate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I hate him so much. Do I want him to die? Not really but if he wasnt such a shit manager and complete tosspot the thought would never cross my mind. Apparently we now live in a utopian world where everyone is super nice to each other and our precious little ears dont have to hear anything we dont like. Steve Bruce would like to rewind the clock 30 years where there was no social media and only black players had to hear the inner thoughts of the fans. Big tough centre back Steve Bruce who played football in the late 80s and used to spend his days roughing up centre forwards has had his little feeling hurt. Fuck off.

Yorkie Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 This is all a bit ugly tbh. I detest Bruce and think he's an unpleasant bloke but incidents like this and the Dean situation should serve as a collective check on the way we talk about other human beings at times. I'm definitely no saint when it comes to Bruce and, particularly in the Pardew years as well, I'll have said some really shitty and spiteful things borne out of hatred and disgust at what was happening to the football club (don't think I've ever wished death on anyone mind). But without the social barrier of the recipient actually reading your hate, the gloves come off and we probably go over the top more times than we'd care to admit. I dunno. I'm programed to assume Bruce is being disingenuous, cos he is so often, and he really is an awful custodian of the job - for loads of reasons. I just think, despite everything, it's useful to occasionally be reminded not to completely lose yourself in hate. His point about vulnerable people is absolutely true, and we saw what can happen last year with Caroline Flack. Not meant to sound holier then thou; like I say, I'm no saint.

My problem is that I'm not sure where to draw the line. Am I allowed to call him shite? I would happily say that to his face and he would absolutely deserve it. Is that abuse? If he is feeling so much abuse, why hasnt he quit for mental health reasons? I dont want anyone to be genuinely feeling suicidal because of stuff they hear online but I also dont want sackless pieces of shite actively ruining the things I love.

Yeah it is, clearly a complete tool but nothing that any club wouldn’t have in it’s fan base.
