Swello Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) Looking at the Edinburgh City team from last night - is the Balatoni that played for them the one that used to play for Thistle?

Gianfranco Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I noticed a former Oldham player having a go at Robinson in reply to the superb video the club posted about suicide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Fantastic video on MFC's social media re suicide prevention. Your club has just gone even further up in my estimations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFCTillIDie Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Absolute no idea why you have signed Sammon - he is terrible! Hopefully you got him as cover only on the cheap for a year. Don't know how he is still a footballer at SPL level.Excellent signing in my opinion, knows the league and great presence up top 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine it's so that if he turns out to be as absolute humpty as he's expected to by many, our good friends in the capital will still be paying the lions share of his wages, while he warms our bench instead of theirs.

Casagolda Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) It’s an excellent video by Motherwell, shame it appears to have been hijacked by an ex player of Robinson’s from Oldham who’s using to sling some pretty serious accusations his way. Whilst I have sympathy with the boy if what he’s saying is true(there’s 2 sides to every story of course), by all means call Robinson out on it but go through the proper channels. Doing it on twitter and labelling said video as ‘bollocks’ was surely not the time or the place. As always with social media, you’ve now got a lynch mob out wanting blood and with the boys tweet getting almost as much traction as Motherwell’s, the whole thing has now sadly started to overshadow what was an excellent initiative by the club.

mjw Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Aye that twitter spat has overshadowed a serious message.Seems the player has to be taken seriously but anyone else 'wasn't there' and isn't allowed an opinion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 “Forced out of the club by a shambles offer” kinda screams sour grapes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I think the boy needs to be listened to, as he’s throwing some pretty serious accusations about and his comments have gained some amount of attention. However, and I don’t think he should necessarily be condemned for this, the time and place for it isn’t immediately following Motherwell’s video. There’s also every chance that SR had no idea of the impact that he/his actions could have on young footballers. Football is fucking ruthless and youngsters will be shattered and disappointed all the time when they’re told they’re not big, strong or good enough to make it. It could be that Robinson told the young lad that he needed to sharpen up a bit if he wanted to stay at Oldham/make a career out of it. The fact that we don’t know what was said between them is exactly the reason that both parties need to be listened to, or to even speak to each other, to clear up what has already turned into a pretty ugly situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) Given that reporting what happened on twitter yesterday is what journalism is mainly reduced to, this will inevitably end up in the Tabs with the guy doing the "tabloid sad face" photo. It's not ideal that he chose to air this on the back of a suicide prevention initiative but if it gets the video more publicity and more young guys see it as a result, it can only be a good thing IMO. (If he has a legitimate complaint, he has every right to speak out of course and Robinson has the right of reply).

Al B Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I obviously don't know what happened so there's a good chance I could be speaking out of turn, but if a manager not wanting you at a club, not playing you if you stay because you're not deemed good enough and your wages are taking up budget that could be used for a better player, is now being held up as bullying... then football probably isn't the career some people should be choosing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellView Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I reckon the twitter spat is a good thing. MenandBoysCoalition, Peter Lloyd, JordanB.Peterson and Martin Daubney are good accounts to follow on Twitter for male related issues, especially for young men. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 It will be interesting to see if the bullying claims are brought up at our pre match press conference. Do we even have one for the league cup games? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has absolutely nothing to do with Motherwell and your club should just ignore it, publicly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
