I'm sure that's true - it just seems a bit unnecessary to point to the tiny minority of over excited people; he could just as easily have said that "Grixy is filthy on himself for that error, but he has my full backing and I'm happy to see that the vast majority of fans feel the same way." It's an equally accurate description of what happened, and avoids painting a picture of WT fans as a baying horde, rounding on a player with pitchforks.

Not really is it.

Social media, whilst it has some great positives, brings out the worst in human beings.
Grix is far from alone in being targeted by cowards sitting at their keyboards.
There are kids, frightened to leave their own homes and go to school and some aspects of social media really do need sorting out.
Maybe a couple of high profile cases brought before the courts would slow some of the idiots down a little but, it's a problem that wont go away any time soon.

I'm amazed they even read them, let alone take them seriously. Personally I'm referring to abuse post match at the ground. To me that's far more worrying as it gets very close and personal and hard for the player to avoid.

Grix player of season for me.

He's had my support all season - just like every other player.

Been a superb season and if we don't win another game this year I will still be very happy and extremely proud of them all.

Thus answers easy be like me don't get involved with social media we all managed before it was invented and the negatives outweigh the positives

isn't this site classed a social media ?

Na lad it's got moderators who police it no bed language or bullying if there was i wouldn't come on here

Yeah technically

Although the first thing in my mind when I saw Chester's comments was Facebook. Some of the comments that I have seen on that Northstanders have led me to stay away! Ashamed to say its not just the younger lot either - Its safe to say we have our fair share of idiots as any club does.

Not wishing to bang on about this but the main reason I don't like it is nothings private anymore especially when it comes to family, I have had people come up to me telling me things about my family that should be kept in the family, it's the old fashioned tickle tackle garden gate rubbish . RANT OVER

I'm convinced the 3rd World War will start on Facebook, never mind that bloke in North Korea. It's the scourge of the modern world and the quicker it disappears up its own rectum the better!!!

I at glad grix proved you all wrong tonight

what a game he had

so safe under the high ball attacked it at every opportunity
what a running game never offloaded to wingers and took the ball up hard all day
was a constant threat in attack
never missed a tackle.
stepped up as a experienced player when the game was on the line

Not quite squire he didn't have to prove us all wrong, just a small minority who incidentally seem rather quiet on here today.

I didn't go to the game nor did I watch or intend to watch it. Hence I won't be able to comment [uon anybody's [/uperformance. I've not quite reached the bottom of my spiral down into depression yet either, so I may well give the Wigan game a miss too.

I couldn't agree more; I also encounter it at work - practically every disciplinary case I'm involved in has some crossover with Facebook - I'm surprised now if an investigation report *doesn't* include some screenshots from said (anti)social media platform.

You're right - privacy is a dead concept now - and the worrying this is, it's not just kids; grown adults who should know better are just as guilty.

So - if Chester was responding to a load of vitriol in FB, I wouldn't know, since I'm not on it; was that the case?

It's only a game you know!
I've watched Trinity nearly 60 years and am ALWAYS ready for the team to make amends in the next game. That's the only way to get over a bad result.

Said everything I needed to know when Scott approached me at the end of last nights game and thanked me for the support and backing this last week. Has been a first class professional in everything he has done this year and we will be poorer for it when he leaves this club

Never mind that we all knew it anyway, give us a another clue with this new signing please

As trump likes posting on social media, both could be involved in World War III

Your public backing of him has been superb, I hope he realises he also has around 95% of the supporters backing too?

Most full backs have at least 2 or 3 howlers in a season and most will beat themselves up over one particular incident. Grix without doubts been a stand out in most games and when he joins the line looks sharp and in control.
Its unfortunate that a few can not see t hat

I'm gonna guess assuming we're out of the semi's by Saturday tea time, that we'll get an announcement straight after the game, the incoming/outgoing' will all have been sorted by then.

He'll be able to judge the mood better on Saturday teatime, I think that providing we win next Saturday even if we're out of the semi's I think you might be right, but if we lose then maybe he might wait till Monday till the immediate disappointment has subsided, hopefully it'll be Saturday
