steve_69 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) The abuse on social media is often unacceptable, but the world is full of idiots and they have a platform to voice their opinions in awful, unfiltered ways. The chants in the stadium are absolutely acceptable - fans have a right to protest because they pay their money and watch his shite. It doesn't spill into personal insults, it focuses on a very well paid man, ill-suited to his position, doing a terrible job. If Bruce didn't want to see the vile abuse on social media and forums, he could've just come off them. Don't CHOOSE to look at the insults and ramblings of morons and then claim it's affecting your mental health FFS. That's like putting your hand in a fire and complaining that you got burnt.

nufcjb Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) Could you imagine. Calls to phone ins are getting disconnected and turned away, tweets not entertained simply because the people calling in are asking for Steve Bruce to be manager of Manchester United and are labelled as Newcastle United fans, trolling and abusing him. Deep down, the likes of Savage and Sutton and Sherwood knoe it's never going to happen anyways. and who gets hurt in all of this? Steve fucking Bruce because the bloke genuienly wants Ole's job.

There's a few on the #OleOut "What started with the entire Newcastle United fan base has now resulted in one or two Man United fans following suit and abusing their manager. This horrific culture of giving managers personal abuse, which started in Newcastle, must end now. Shame on you NUFC fans, shame on you" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's already admitted he doesn't have social media. He just comes up with ways to get sympathy to take the attention off his awful managerial ability.

mrmojorisin75 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Quote On Wednesday morning, Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi had arrived at the training ground and called the players in to see them for the first formal meeting of the new regime (the previous week, it had been handshakes and hellos in the canteen). “Lovely to meet you all finally,” Staveley is understood have to said. “As of two minutes ago, Steve Bruce is no longer your manager.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of this shit is new. None of this shit is exclusive to one club or exclusive to football. I think Balague is trying to say the latter, albeit poorly worded. It's a social world issue. I think everyone knows not to read the comments section on fb or after newspaper articles. Easy way to eat up and ruin your next week with the amount of ignorance. I'm fine with a stand up to social media abuse campaign but let's not pretend it's not everywhere and let not also pretend it's everyone doing it.

Wolfcastle Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) Don't get why people are going on about 'were creating a society that etc. etc.' - its always been this way ffs. Its just now what was contained in fanzines, pubs and break-times at work/school and private discussions is now there for anybody to see if they want to. Football managers have been hated by their own fans as long as I've known - often far worse than this and almost always with less justification. How many others suckled up to a hate owner and wound the fans up from behind the safety of lockdowns? Its just utterly bizarre that Bruce released from a job he only got for a laugh to begin with, is some sort of revelation.

Football managers have been hated by their own fans as long as I've known - Brantfoot at Southampton, Horton at Man City, Benitez at Chelsea, O'Leary/Bruce at Villa, nearly every mackem manager, Graham at Spurs (even after winning something), Ferguson at Man United until he won the cup, Allardyce at West Ham/Everton/Here, Sir Bobby/Taylor with England are just the extreme ones off the top of my head. Even Wenger at Arsenal in the end ffs. Its often why managers get sacked or haven't these people realised that? Its just utterly bizarre that Bruce released from a job he only got for a laugh to begin with, is some sort of revelation. Aye - also lots of younguns on here wont remember the abuse Graham Taylor got from the media. Front page headlines too. Hypocrites. Lots of parallels with Bruce...
