Nelson getting lots of horrible abuse on twitter - handling himself tbf ..but no idea why Hibs fans think it's in any way helpful to be abusive to our own players .. Why not try to encourage in this new start

Agree completely. TBH, I don't know why the players put themselves through it.

If it is Hibs fans abusing our own players then they are mainly driven by having tiny dicks. This applies to both genders. FACT.

It's just fannies who wouldn't have the balls to say the same thing to his face one on one in person.

Twitter makes folk easy targets, I can totally understand fans frustrations though, the problem isn't with how unbelievably dire Michael Nelson is tho'...the problem stems from who signed him and the length of deal he's on.

I fancy myself as a player but put me in with 21 kther Pros and id most likely br gash, I'd be dammed if I'm going to walk away from a deal worth about £1200 a week though!

He's probably getting abused by idiots who wouldn't have the nerve to say "hello" to him in the street, let alone anything critical.

So you can't condemn the abuse but are happy to throw more out. :rolleyes:

Didn't LD say the players would get social media training? something LWT
has stressed from the outset...
Instead of falling over and singing the little goblin song away from the wider public eye cheeky young(?) scamps can now take to twitter and babble some nonsense on a global platform whether Hibbies or otherwise.

Some of them presumably no not what they do. Maybe it's not the players that need the training...

I just wish we could get back to basics as a team and a support. Time to heal the rift. The tipping point where the bile ceases and the support flows needs found.

In a nutshell, I don't know why football players put themselves through it though.

Got no sympathy for footballers who have Twitter accounts. They surely know that they will be a target for abuse whether they are Ronaldo, Messi or Nelson.

Fed up hearing on SSN and BBC etc what footballers think of this and that. Couldn't care less myself.

Just say no to Twitter. Twitter is for twats.

Nelson is absolute *****. How anyone can argue otherwise is baffling. We paid money for him too. Sick.

There's more obviously but no one gets as much abuse as Nelson, plus he gets it on every tweet, even ones completely unrelated to football. It's uncalled for.

Tim Clancy came into that conversation, saying it was the Hibs fans fault that the player's were scared to play at home, and that we have too high expectations........

Eh I expext us to be better than being in bottom 6 fours years on spin, then getting relegated.......:rolleyes:

They all get abuse because we went down in a **** league.

Nelson might well be a **** footballer but he is also a human being, maybe he has a wife and kids to support, he doesn't deserve to be abused.

that's not the point - the point is - what good do fans think it does - it ain't helpful to the player or team in any way.

So personal abuse is out of order yet you come onto this thread, where no one is arguing that Nelson was one of our worst players last season, dishing out abuse?

First of all I'm not your bro, I'm fed up with erses like you abusing Hibs players who are still on our books and I'm not afraid to tell you to your face whether you're 6 foot plus or not, oh yeah and he's not my mate, work that out if it's not too baffling for you!

Its funny how people can be hard men on a keyboard as well,t@ssers

Nelson was pretty solid until things went Pete Tong after new year imo. And not the only one. If Stubbs wants to hold on to him then he will continue to get my full backing. Wish some folk on here and the Twitterati would just give it a rest.

The discussion is not about Nelson's abilities it's about the way he and other hib's players are treated by their own so called fans.

If MN is staying hopefully the new manager can get him back to where he was at the start of last season. If he's wearing a Hibs shirt he'll get my 100% backing regardless.

No player or person deserves grief from twitter as it's only meant to be a SOCIAL medium not a slagfest.

Time for positivity not negativity. A new chapter has began.
