Good on him.
Let’s hope this is the start of men being able to be comfortable with who they are.
Shocking that he’s the first one in 32 years to do so. Hopefully he doesn’t get any stick from some of the idiots in our fanbase.
Could be a whiskey move

That said, I’d like to think that he’ll be fine as far as his own age group goes and, although I may be proved completely wrong here, I don’t believe it will be as much of a problem with older fans as some may think - I wouldn’t be bothered in the slightest if a City player came out as gay.
You'd be surprised if the use of rainbow corner flags is anything to go by on the area I sit in the ground
And to be honest it is not a generational issue given my experience - my daughter is in a same sex relationship and she gets far more stick/hassle etc from younger people than she does older
Brave lad.
Hopefully it will be met with a positive reaction in all circles and give other players, who may not have had the confidence to come out before, to do so aswell.
Brave move. I'm sure most football fans won't have an issue with this at all, and hopefully those that do keep their gobs shut.
And the sad thing is that he has to be brave, it should be the same reaction as if he proclaimed to a vegan, who should care
I think he will have a few
But I would assume there’d be more fans shutting down that kind of behaviour as many do already with racism
Amazing news, what a lad 👏👏
Good on the lad, I wonder if there are any professional players a bit older thinking if this lad can then why can’t I.

Because of teammates like this
Your going to get people like that in all jobs, I’m sure a lot more will support him.
As for Twitter etc that’s always going to happen sadly, just like Racial abuse and I don’t think that’s reflective of the real world. If anything a more senior player coming out would help.

Take a look at the comments
It's a shame this is news.
Not on twitter so are they positive or negative or mixed?
You don’t want to be mate, it is the most bigoted thread I ever seen, split along religious beliefs. There are no neutral comments, they’re either supportive or vitriolic religious venting.
Probably because his imaginary friend in the sky hates gays. Backwards bastard
I hope he scores a load of goals but Blackpool go down , we sign him and he fires us to promotion
And we have a gay pride section of the Canton
i hope so too, i think there is a gay near me the sooner they get put in a gay section the better
Let’s step back a minute. I thought we were after inclusion not segregated sections for different kinds of people/colour etc. It may have been said in jest but I’m not that sure it was.
I can assure you that the idea of a pink , black or womens area at CCFC was a complete piss take
Although I would put the tory scum in the car park
He is the oldest looking 17 year old I’ve ever seen.
