Tetteys Jig 830 Posted September 16, 2020 Ridiculous isn't it? I think some people need to take a break from twitter! What's he so salty about? Did someone hurt him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rabbit hole 31 Posted September 16, 2020 I thought it was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen, but that’s just my humour tbh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted September 16, 2020 Problem is, some people live much of their lives on social media these days and struggle with their mental health as it is. Wouldn’t funny if you found out that was the thing that tipped one of those people over the edge. I get that some of the "entrants" can be pretty annoying at times but publicly humiliating them like that isn't really fair, it goes beyond "banter" for me. He seems to suggest that some of them have been similarly nasty to him before so maybe there's more to it. I've definitely noticed many aspects of social media turn nastier in the last year or 2 in the name of "banter". Theres a fine line with it and I'd probably draw it at sustained, 1 sided bullying where the defendant has no way of avoiding it/defending themselves. Luckily for me, I have a good bunch of friends and family in the real world that will set me straight and tell me when I'm being a c u next Tuesday but also be there to pick me up when I'm feeling down etc. I suspect some of those targeted in this aren't so lucky so things like this can really affect them. I worry one day I'll have kids that want to get involved in it all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Greenthumb 749 Posted September 16, 2020 Very strange thing to do. Familiar with some of the names on there, but just mute them ( as you would on here). Unless he’s friends with all of them, the angle is malicious! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WD40 720 Posted September 16, 2020 Quite similar to “The Waldo Moment” episode from Black Mirror. People may think it’s hideous, yet it only survives because it’s been given oxygen not least by those voting in the damn things. You could say he’s holding up a mirror to social media society but don’t think we needed that as we know it’s a godforsaken hellhole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rabbit hole 31 Posted September 16, 2020 Personally I saw it just as in jest. I’ve always called close friends a CUN.. and it’s seen more as a term of endearment. I don’t believe this was a malicious attempt to hurt anyone but I may be wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t believe this was a malicious attempt to hurt anyone but I may be wrong there's the difference, close friends, not random people on the Internet. Definitely looks like intent there to me, like he was trying to prove a point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted September 16, 2020 Far easier to just mute people you don't want to hear from as well, it's just a bit nasty when things turn personal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeemuVanBasten 3,327 Posted September 16, 2020 Are we supposed to know who Roger Green is? Because I don't know who he is, yet alone his son. Link me up? 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Wynless Jones 161 Posted September 17, 2020 I know Roger, very opioniated, very left wing but generally harmless. According to his FB this isn't him though. Although I haven't seen the offending post as I don't do Tw@tter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarydan23 4,060 Posted September 17, 2020 I saw the name and thought it might have been the bloke who used to sit in my block at the River End and a Facebook stalk confirmed it is he. It looks like it is his son who was behind it, the one who got tw@ted in a morph suit a few years back at Forest away. To be honest, no one really comes out of it well, the idea was stupid and the people getting their knickers in a twist over it are pretty stupid. My only question is, who is Anita Byrne?

Roger green 0 Posted September 17, 2020 Well it seems like I’m famous , funny how everyone writes under a hidden name on here. lets have a few FACTS . ( strange thing I know) firstly I’m not on twitter so it’s a bit of a stretch for me to write on there. secondly it wasn’t put up by anyone in my family. from what I’ve seen some took it in good heart so didn’t ..that’s social media! However if the person who wrote the OP using my name would like to show themselves I can then perhaps have a good laugh at them! hope that clears up this nonsense Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm in a seat a couple of rows back from where you used to sit years back a couple of rows in the River End. Along with yourself I was one of the few people in our block prone to an occasional angry outburst. If you need any more clues, I was the young, good-looking one with the less good-looking northerner Dad. We all got on pretty well around there, and I like you even more now I know you're a fellow leftie. There's not many left around us from when you sat there, apart from the old boy who sat in the row between us who always bought mince pies at Christmas and occasionally sausage rolls. But it's definitely your son or relation who was putting up these Norwich Cambridge University Netball Team polls, unless it's someone pretending to be him. He used to sit with you in the River End.

Ha I know you..someone put it up and it got took down so he reposted it ..well that’s what he said anyway ..yes it was a good bunch of people who sat there back then ..I often think about going back ( when allowed) but it’s the premier league that pisses me off to be honest... maybe if we are allowed this season I might return ,that’ll please a few hey!

The ‘outrage’ was because I only had to be asked...instead of being told it was me or him! anyway even Darren Huckerby joined in as I was told ..even he found it funny. the only person who riled up was the bloke who’s picture was in the original post...but he would would he! he normally screams bully whenever he is mentioned anywhere if he can’t get money from it!

king canary 7,604 Posted September 17, 2020 I've seen these sorts of polls before but its generally aimed at famous people who are a bit insultaed from all this nonsense. To do it for random Norwich fans seemed very harsh and if it was just meant to be a bit of fun...maybe ask them first if they minded being included? That way you could filter out the people who wouldn't take it in the (apparently) intended spirit. Being called a c u n t by random strangers on twitter isn't much fun and I don't blame people for not appreciating it. That said, the talk of getting the police or the club involved seems a bit OTT to me but if he gets banned from Carrow Road then maybe he'll learn about the fact that actions, even online, have consequences.
