Badger 2,745 Posted May 9, 2022 You might not be able to organise a protest properly so why not pick on individuals? I'm sick of the half-wit fantasists who think that there are easy solutions to being a yo yo club. The vast majority of fans would be quite happy for you to stay away. Oh and don't pretend you don't approve of what they did - there have been many on here for months telling us how angry they were! Well you've go want you wanted. Don't try to disassociate yourself from what you wanted! 3 1 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Greenthumb 789 Posted May 9, 2022 No one on here wants that and you know that! The protests weren’t about Brandon Williams and I don’t think the few hundred that was there had the pitchforks out ready for any player. It was a few mindless fools who have let everybody down and should be banned from watching Norwich City ever again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree that a player should not be hounded like that, especially a young player who at least seems to give a damn. However, Williams states there is no investigation, whilst the press say there is. Hmm, either more lines being fed to the press by a senior club official a la M Dennis' article on MFW which are light on truth, or a player is lying on social media. Who to believe?

I knew before I posted that those that have been spreading hate and division for months would try and wash their hands of any consequence of it - nothing to do with me honest! We've had months of fans arguing it's OK to abuse our players - "it's a passionate game after all." If you don't know that some idiots will swallow the "easy solution nonsense" and the perpetual barrage of vitriol and then take it too far, you don't know much at all. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is the charge here the people that allegedly abused Brandon after the game and allegedly followed him home have been loitering here on the Pinkun forum; ingesting hatred and calls to violence which has led them to allegedly do this? That is patently ridiculous if so. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Google Bot 3,923 Posted May 9, 2022 I think some outbursts and anger can be understood in the heat of the moment, but this is just ridiculous and probably more based around insecure jealous twats who felt power in being able to follow a player on his lonesome.

The Real Buh 3,765 Posted May 9, 2022 Literally no evidence that fans followed him but hey, why not throw your fellow fans under the bus and support a player who isn’t even ours? Seems legit. I don’t believe him at all, let’s see the evidence. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does this mean you do acknowledge that people surrounded his car and abused him. Do you think that is justified?

There isn't an investigation. Michael Bailey has confirmed that. It's in Brandon's post! Why do you need concrete proof of something to accept it? Why would he make this up? Are you paranoid? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is patently ridiculous if so. No that is not the "charge." Many on here and on Twitter have justified the abuse of our own players and staff for months, most recently on the Webber thread that got pulled. Others have called on the fans to show their anger, whilst other have perpetuated the myth that there is an easy solution to all this. You have tolerated abuse and encouraged it: you wanted a bigger reaction and you got it! Then the practice is when things go too far stand back and say "I never meant anything like this to happen." (Allegedly) Allegedly of course, because it's all made up isn't it? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad to know you’ll throw fellow fans under the bus when it counts. you’re telling me he went back to his car And was getting abuse and there’s nobody filming? No little sc£0te on TikTok uploading that? His story is about as convincing as his haircut. he’s literally not worth following home. He’s been generically crap this year. He’ll be on loan on the championship next year and he’ll probably throw that fanbase under the bus as well. Edited May 9, 2022 by The Real Buh 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
