Well he didn't apologise and then now he's using MH as an excuse. Guys a knob.Think people should move on. He made a dumb, insensitive comment but social media pile ons, as ever, going way too far
Where did he use mental health as an excuse for the tweet? He's expressing that he is trying to keep his mental health good, which I'm sure he is. Can't be great for your mental wellbeing having an entire country hating you, spitting absolute venom, calling for you to be sacked, threats of violence. Don't care whether you think he deserves it.Well he didn't apologise and then now he's using MH as an excuse. Guys a knob.
How convenient he mentions his mental health 24 hours after writing a vile tweet.Where did he use mental health as an excuse for the tweet?

I'm quite sure the two are directly related. Unless you think suddenly an entire nation absolutely despising you, possibly losing your job, facing death threats, has absolutely no effect on your mental well being. Not asking for you to sympathise with him, but to pretend social media pile ons don't impact mental health is crazy.How convenient he mentions his mental health 24 hours after writing a vile tweet.
No of course it does, but he's best off staying off social media and working on himself than expecting any form of social media post to be met with ANY form of positivity. He could have written a far better "apology" too or done a video or released a proper statement. He didn't. So he's getting pelters.I'm quite sure the two are directly related.

Do you think the abuse is proportionate?No of course it does, but he's best off staying off social media and working on himself than expecting any form of social media post to be met with ANY form of positivity.

He has apologised and he is still a tosser of the highest order. Attacking females while being drunk, pissing in police car and beating his wife. The World Cup media outlets in Qatar will love him.Well he didn't apologise and then now he's using MH as an excuse. Guys a knob.
This stuff is wayyyyy worse than anything he could possibly tweet! Talksport happy to employ him and nobody else batted an eyelid. Violence against women? No problem. Say a mean thing about the Queen on the internet? Off the air immediately. Death threats onlineHe has apologised and he is still a tosser of the highest order.

No, and I never said it was. Not sure what he expected by posting what he did?Do you think the abuse is proportionate?
That's fair then. If you believe he's recieving a disproportionate amount hate you can't be surprised if he feels the need to look after his mental health.No, and I never said it was. Not sure what he expected by posting what he did?
And the "apology" wasn't even an apology.
I think he should never have commented on the passing of the monarch in the first place.Think people should move on. He made a dumb, insensitive comment but social media pile ons, as ever, going way too far
Yes I think social media pile ons tend to bring out the worst in people, personally.I think he should never have commented on the passing of the monarch in the first place.
Now we should back off??
And wait for the next time?
It's not like Trev has form for this.
Bit of advice Trevor GET OFF SOCIAL MEDIA.
I’m sure he has, and we all have ! But when it’s a nationwide f up I would imagine you feel more than mildly cringe afterwardsWho hasn't made a bit of a ** of themselves on Social Media?
He's probably woke up after a night on the sherry and thought... "Oh Fuck!! - I've made a dick of myself AGAIN"...
No me neither. It’s time to move on and let him deal with his own demons.I always thought him a cock. He’s fucked himself badly.
But I don’t think he should be killed by hanging or stoned to death
Talksport should sack him imho but after that let him sort himself out, I’m not interested in a word he says or a thing he doesNo me neither. It’s time to move on and let him deal with his own demons.
What basis should they sack him though?Talksport should sack him imho but after that let him sort himself out, I’m not interested in a word he says or a thing he does
Is this what’s known as cancel culture?
Somebody says something you don’t agree with so you create a big haroush and ensure they lose their job?
It’s odd cos I thought this was something the lefties did to the righties.
Which is when the righties complain loudly about their freedom of speech being infringed.
But in this case righties are trying to cancel a lefty. Which seems to be ok?
So to be clear….does cancel culture only work one way? And is it only righties who have free speech?

I would expect most of AVFTT feel similar emotions about certain "runchasers"Talksport should sack him imho but after that let him sort himself out, I’m not interested in a word he says or a thing he does
Think before you post would be good advice. What outcome did he really think his tweet would achieve? He’s been called out for it, rightly so. Don’t expect to post garbage on a public forum and not get direct opinions back at you.I'm quite sure the two are directly related. Unless you think suddenly an entire nation absolutely despising you, possibly losing your job, facing death threats, has absolutely no effect on your mental well being. Not asking for you to sympathise with him, but to pretend social media pile ons don't impact mental health is crazy.
I think you should reasonably expect that you shouldn't have threats of violence and against your life because of a tweet. You can think that's acceptable if you want.Think before you post would be good advice. What outcome did he really think his tweet would achieve? He’s been called out for it, rightly so.

I can assure you I believe threats of violence over a tweet is unacceptableFoggy the new Phil of the other side of the board will argue the toss when he really doesn't believe half the stuff he posts.
Didn’t see any of those which clearly isn’t acceptable either. Telling him what a bell end he’s been is however.I think you should reasonably expect that you shouldn't have threats of violence and against your life because of a tweet. You can think that's acceptable if you want.
Ha! He's definitely a pillockDidn’t see any of those which clearly isn’t acceptable either. Telling him what a bell end he’s been is however.
For being a CockWhat basis should they sack him though?
Surely most of the people on twitter calling for him to be sacked, will be moaning about 'Cancel Culture' next week....?
So have I but mine was genuine, not just trying to get myself out of a spotOr...he could have mental health issues. I've had a brush with that and it ain't funny.
None of us would be able to hold down a job on that basisFor being a Cock
The hypocrisy of his opinion didn’t help him. All who post on public forum know the consequences.... maybe one or two sympathetic to his subsequent treatment following his comments will be more tolerant of different political opinions to their own in future....as you quite rightly highlight... our right to freedom of expression.Maybe I am in a minority here but what has he done other than express an opinion that most people won't agree with at an inappropriate time? It was disrespectful, crass and opportunistic but does he really deserve to be vilified by so many? Apart from his on and offline indiscretions, he was a great player for Blackpool in a period when we didn't have very many good players let alone great players.
Surely, if we stand for anything as a country, it is for freedom of speech and expression.
There is a sort of mania that surrounds events like the queen's death which I don't really like TBH.
get in chubbyNever heard him mention it before in the past. Now all of a sudden it crops up.
Chubby knows the score
