Either way, my view will not affect the outcome of their matches. So, as it matters not a jot anyway, I go for the ‘fcuk um’ route. Ha ha. Suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_and_White_Stripes Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I think Carson's deleted his Twitter account! Before I gloat, can anyone confirm this was his account? I'm pretty sure it was. I noticed some folk were mentioning him in the comments to some of the memes and just thought I'd see if he reacted at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 To be fair, hiding/removing your twitter after getting pelters is a lot better than spending that time arguing with twitter users. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you feel if you had a disappointing day at work and then a few hundred wee bangers that you've never even met and who would all love to have your job started bombarding you with stick about it on social media? One of the worst things about the Twitter age is the idea of proximity to famous people and this feeling of entitlement to just be a dick to anyone any time you choose. Not unique to St Mirren fans or to this situation, but it's just fucking sad. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like Carson was an entirely innocent party here. He signed a contract then just a few months later he was demanding we let him leave because he felt hard done to. A player that was roundly lauded by the support and in turn was given the shirt even while injured (his decision, we never forced him to play). While I take your point about it relating to social media, but in general any player would get pelters for that, it would just have been out on the street, or in the pub or wherever. 38 minutes ago, VincentGuerin said: One of the worst things about the Twitter age is the idea of proximity to famous people and this feeling of entitlement to just be a dick to anyone any time you choose.

It has emboldened the worst in society to think their opinion has merit. Run by a capricious and seriously dense man-child, and stocked to the gunnels with hate filled insane conspiracy rants, I don't blame anyone for either quitting or abandoning twitter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving a guy abuse in the a pub or the street (!) because of a dispute with his employer, the details of which you are not privvy to, is also complete arsehole behaviour and in absolutely no way ok. Carson is an entirely innocent party here. He's allowed to want to change jobs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergie's no1 fan Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 It's not something I'd be doing to be honest, maybe in my younger days. The guy opened up recently about having issues ect , I'm all for giving him a boo or a bit of stick but after Saturday we should be leaving it at that and move on. We don't know the truth, Jamie Langfield tweeted as much. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which of Saints 2 goals v Dundee was "a subject of much debate"? If he travels to Paisley tomorrow night to see Saints play Motherwell he's going to realise what a c**t he's made of himself.

I get where you are coming from and mostly agree, but going back in time a few years ago, we had Alan Stubbs all over Twitter arguing and acting like an arrogant tosser with St Mirren fans on Twitter. To say it was a bad look is just the tip of the iceberg. Stubbs made a monumental arse of himself and quite frankly there was no need for him to engage in about 99% of the tweets with fans. In that instance it was most definitely the more famous or infamous, in Stubbs case who was in fact in the wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if he's getting his wires crossed and thinks the goal line clearance which probably was a goal, but was not given. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
