Players hurt by negative comments?

"They can criticise me, I don't have any problem with this. But I think they do it on purpose, these messages. Of course, we are reading this, the players are reading this, it affects us also. It affects players. When you speak about players, the coach, our game, things like this, it affects the players."

I suspect very few players do not look at media reports and forum comments.

The regular abuse written from the safety of one's keyboard without thought for the consequences is alarming, not only on this forum, but I suspect the 'other side'.

I doubt whether there is an answer to the 'online abuse' of players and management of a team by regular contributors who masquerade as Cardiff City 'fans'.

Get a grip. Players don't care about what fans think.

Dear Erol,
Just a quick line to say how much I'm enjoying the football this season at the CCS. Please pass on my thanks to the players, your team, and also may I thank you personally. The players have been especially diligent lately, working their socks off to ensure we finish the season on a high.
Rgds,
AQM

Ross McCormack did, he posted on here as 1888celt if I remember correctly. I bet some players read it, human nature. Most will probably think we are talking nonsense though.

He is desperately trying to screw over everybody including the youngsters to get his contract..he has done this to himself. Starting to piss me off all this begging via the media.

There is a shed load on here , never mind any other sites

I don't know why we bother employing a manager as a lot of the posters on here have clearly performed at the highest level

And come to think of it some of them could probably get in the squad ?

Re: Players hurt by negative comments?

This kind of thing really is precious. If you work in a profession where you are in the public domain, entertain, create, want the financial reward and you want/expect people to pay for your product then you suck it up. If you guys think it's bad in football or on here then you lead very sheltered lives.

Even if you're not in the public domain, then you still deserve 'feedback' if your product is sh*t.

We're worse to each other on here than we are to the players or manager! :hehe:

It's mild on here. Constant excuses for certain players that fit the profile. We've had wrong manager, wrong coach, wrong players, wrong tactics, wrong playing style. The only other entity in the history of mankind who can get a free pass like that is God. If it works then you're rewarded, it it fails then it was his will, all part of the master plan.

Totally agree.

We probably are talking nonsense, we can only go on what we see and read. We probably don’t know half of what is said or goes on.

We don't, but that isn't an excuse for players not being able to carry out the basics, poor decision making, lazy play etc. people should not criticise if a player is putting in a shift and attempting to do the right things, or if their ability set just isn't up to scratch. I think that's unfair. Problem is that most football fans, including myself can't see when a player is attempting the right thing and it just isn't happening for whatever reason. We then get frustrated and critical. Poor decision making, lack of composure, poor positioning etc is fair game in my opinion. Players can generally negate those problems.

:hehe: I started a God thread just for that reason! In fairness, Sludge never lets him/her of the hook either!

No I agree, let’s be honest that’s why we are here to give our opinions.
