Brent abuse

[gaspargomez]

I’m not a Brent arse kisser like some people on this forum, but nor do I support shouting at or intimidating people who have got involved with the club and devoted time and energy to it. Unfortunately Argyle has its fair share of dopey fans- some of whom are highly embarrassing.

Dopey. no way. just passionate fans who don't like to witness their team losing every week....

Was behind this, it’s part of the game sadly. I believe Brent said to someone if you buy me out let’s see how you will do.

well i would not give a manager a 5 year contract in the 3rd division, still not long now until he is no longer chairman thank f..k

Well done you...

It was right in front of me as I walked out. Mr Brent kept his dignity and smiled calmly throughout. The elderly gentleman was frustrated but right at the end of the game is not the best time for rational thoughts. I was surprised to find James Brent there to be honest, with this bloke one side of him and cocky Blackpool fans the other.

Not the biggest JB fan but there’s a time, place or at least a manner in which to express such discontent. Embarrassing.

I did notice that JB was well protected by Wozzers mum !

Considering Blackpool fans get successfully sued by their own chairman for chatting poo on their own fans forum I wouldn’t of thought they’d have too much of a high platform to gloat from?

Interesting to hear what constitutes ‘abuse’, swearing, vitriol etc yes I get that but a raised voiced of opinion, is that abuse?

We live in a world now where if your opinion doesn’t match the crowd you’re a troll, or a WUM.
There are lines but they are certainly blurred nowadays

It's quite simple really.

If you're disgruntled about the performances and you get annoyed with the team and shout something/write something online that's your opinion and that should be respected.

It's the point where you start targeting that at an individual, squaring off with them or spamming them with insults and threats then that's abuse.

Saying a player is rubbish on PASOTI is a lot different to phoning that player or posting all over their twitter account or shouting at them with their family present.

Was interesting that it’s suggeted that James had to suffer the
indignity of walking around the stadium like the plebs

I’ve always found him to be fairly approachable and level headed and not at all aloof tbf

It wasn't 'abuse' and James said at the time it wasn't. There was no effing and jeffing, just a fan having his say on lack of investment on players etc.

I heard the man, at least twice, say the words 'This is nothing personal Mr Brent'. Not even a 1 on the abuse scale I would say.

There might be a case for the Chairman / Directors to leave the Lindy early to avoid any harsh words, or alternatively, waiting for the crowds to disperse first. This however could give the opportunity for fans 'to have a go' at him whilst they are sitting awaiting their exit. It provides opportunity just like what happened to the West Ham Directors last season. Let's hope the wheel turns, and supporters can leave the ground it happier frames of mind

 

[Shankster]

It somewhat defies the title of the thread

Hyperbole

Perhaps he should sit with the away fans. They are usually quite happy!
