Collymore

[Major Tom]

Do you think Collymore is right to highlight this racist abuse and associate it with Liverpool fans?

 

 

Is that what he's actually done here? I haven't really followed this saga 'til today.

[Gym Beglin]

I'm pretty sure that the police really don't need this slew of work right now Stan. Under pressure public services already, they don't really need to be responding to social media trolls as well.

[Section_31]

The prosecution of people for what they say and post online serves other agendas too though so I doubt the police have a problem with it. Some bloke got banged up for nine months the other day for posting about how he was glad the two WPCs were killed by Dale Cregan on his Facebook page. Nine months.

[Harry Squatter]

Stab Collymore is the football world equivalent of Pete Price.

[Gym Beglin]

He was shite in Basic Instinct 2.

Fucking ROFLCOPTER, cannot believe that happened and I forgot about it.

 

Oh wait, I CAN believe I forgot about it, fucking no-mark.

[Adebisi]

All this came about because his team got a clear penalty given against them and he threw his toys out the pram. Doesn't excuse the racism of course, but famous people having a shit fit because they get a bit of abuse is really starting to annoy me.

'Oh no the dreaded trolls have said they're gonna kill me! It's probably only some 15 year old with acne and no hairs on his balls but faceless people I'll never see in my life saying stuff about me is really horrible and makes me upset' 

Fucking block and report them you big, rich fannies.

Really? Fucking hell.

 

I think the key here is the racist element of the abuse. He's got every right to have a 'shit fit'.

 

Just cos he's rich and famous doesn't mean he should be subjected to shit he gets.

 

If John Barnes was being subjected to this racist abuse, would you feel the same? 'Don't have a shit fit, John, you rich and famous fanny'.

 

I highly doubt it.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Sticks and stones will break your bones but names will never hurt you.

 

However punching a woman in the face hurts them.

[moof]

Who cares what some smackhead on twitter says? I've been called far worse things on here and haven't cried about it.

[Adebisi]

True, it's shocking, but the way he went about it really annoyed me. Report them, block them, save them and email them to someone who can do something about it, sure, but re-tweeting them and adding 'YNWA' really bothered me. Was there any need?

Yeah, good point. He intentionally winds fans up so gets what he asks for to some degree. Some of the abuse is just way over the top, though.

[index1000]

I thought that but then why did he deny it so vehemently? 

Because he is a liar and that's what liar's do

[ZonkoVille77]

He doesn't deserve the death treats and racial slurs but he deserves to be called out for the liar that he is.

I think he's overlooking the fact that if he doesn't lie in the first place, then the reaction he's received doesn't happen.

[index1000]

I rarely come across Collymore on the airwaves but, when I do, I generally find him fairly articulate and coherent.

Maybe you should consider expanding your listening choices.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

The issue here is that he agreed to Evertonian's calling us murderers.

This is someone who has played for our club, took a fucking good wage from us for doing the square root of fuck all.

 

The racism stinks, the mocking of his depression also has no place.

 

The stick he has gotten outside of that is justified because the rest of his TalkSport colleagues (bar that fat snidey greasy cunt and Si's mate Jason Cundy) have all said it was pen. He acted unprofessionally and failed to put his bias to one side. He was no longer impartial.

 

That is the key fundamental issue with his original outburst, he made himself look a tit.

 

I don't mind Collymore, he's clearly looking to make something of his new career and is trying to shake off his previous image and also better himself in terms of how he comes across. On Saturday he failed miserably.

 

He should take some responsibilities for his actions of retweeting/favouriting that "murderers" tweet. He casued the reaction, but the racism is a step too far. Way too far. And those found to have done so should be rightly dealt with.

Less Colly not more.

Did he? It's Wednesday and people are still talking about him and his show on talksport. Seems like he's doing a fine job for them.

[Anny Road]

Get off twitter then you crying hypocritical twat.

[Anubis]

I see that none of the media are challenging the Collymore narrative, and asking him about the retweet.

[Gnasher]

True story, Stan Collymore blocked my mate a few years ago after one post for telling Collymore he didn't reach his full potential as a footballer.

 

The man's like that Cunidy cunt, wants any publicity he can get. Twitter is like a billy big Bollocks game for washed up celebs to get more followers than there mates or foes. It's quite sad.

[scudger99]

Twitter is a virtual playground for bellends to say stuff that they wouldn't dare say to your face.  Wannabe keyboard warriors with attention seeking disorders.

Don't talk about Stan like that.

[littletedwest]

I don't agree with racism or death threats but in mitigation stan is a massive massive prick

So you think he acted professionally? 

 

The funniest and ironic thing about it now is that TalkSport's Chief Exec, has said he is banning all mention of Twitter and promotion of it at the station, yet every half hour they are mentioning twitter at least 40 times in the news bulletin.

 

They use twitter for the majority of their communication between the shows and listeners, so they expect all their listeners to adopt the same stance, and pay money to share answers and discussions.

 

I will give it till the morning when Alan Brazil goes to his segment "What do the players think on twitter? Let's look at what ex Manchester United player Paul McGrath said"

[scudger99]

Is this the same Collymore that beat on Ulrika ?  Some fucking paragon of virtue him.
