The Marvin Morgan witch hunt

[L G]

:funny: loving the reaction about pie face.
You Fat Ba***** will be one of the chapters in my argyle supporting memoires. all about the different grounds I've had that chanted at me, and the stories behind a few 'comebacks'. Ipswich and Millwall will figure.
now back to the therapy....

He got Rochdale fans chanting 'You're just a fat Danny Dyer' at him last season, probably the highlight of that game! :lol:

At the end of the day he's a pro footballer? If you we're all experts you'd be a coach Or managers im guessing your not, so by all means have your opinion but keep the abuse to yourselves

I find it amusing that MM Googles his own name and blocks anyone from following him on Twitter if they have been less than fawning or complimentary about him.

The arrogance of that alone leads me to dislike him.

If my notifications on twitter were clogged up with lazy teenagers sending uncreative abuse with their limited vocabulary I would block them all.

I am not sure when it became socially acceptable to go out of your way to tell someone "you're sh*te" but it was a sad, sad day for the human race. I can forgive shouting something at a match out of frustration - we've all done that. But going home, firing up the computer, logging in, searching the player's name and then typing "your sh*te"...pathetic.

Tweets with Marvin's twitter handle '@MarvinNMorgan' in it show up in his interactions. But, Marvin goes to the twitter search, types in the words 'Marvin Morgan' and blocks anyone who criticises him, however minor.

If Marvin didn't go out of his way to type his own name into the twitter search bar, he wouldn't see these tweets criticising him.

How can you possibly know what Marvin Morgan types into the twitter search box? Have you got him under surveillance or something?

To be fair it's pretty obvious, Branston does it too. Goes on and searches his own name, you can tell because people make a comment on his performance only to find that a little while later they've been blocked by him. Seems a bit sad to me.

 

[Cerbera]

Let me be clear here. Abusing the player via social media is totally unacceptable. A bit of banter, fine. There is a line though. Similarly, I have been blocked by Morgan. No idea why. Or rather I have an idea, it might be because of some comment made about one of his less than sparkling performances - definitely not abuse. Does it bother me? Not really. I find it amusing that anyone would be that conceited and arrogant when really they are just a L2 footballer with a clothing company that 'is down with the kids' or something. Which is why I have less respect for him.

If he is going to put himself 'out there' then he needs to take it as well as give it. To block anyone who criticises is frankly puerile.

Are we seriously judging people negatively because they dont like being abused on Twitter? What a sad sad state of affairs. Pathetic really

 

[SWTT]

Any player that gets fazed by what’s going on social media should not be a footballer because it could affect you in a way that could result in you underperforming, and personally they shouldn’t be on the pitch.

Agree. I'd like to join you on the moral high ground.

Besides, no one knows for sure what Morgan types in his search box.

If you said these things to his face (you probably wouldn't!) he would have every right to walk away and ignore you (if he wanted to) or he could twaaat you one (nice!)
so 'blocking' is just electronic walking away/ignoring isn't it?
Freedom of Speech needs Freedom to Not Listen in equal measure.

I can make a educated guess that he types his own name in the search bar. I KNOW he goes out of his way to look at criticism that he isn't tagged in. Most of it is criticism rather than abuse.

Exactly. It's not abuse. If you do a review of a game and say he didn my play well you find yourself blocked. Anyone who abuses you should be blocked fair and sauare. The man however can't deal with criticism even aimed not at him. Barely even criticism at times.
