    Guess that means we will definitely who it is in 48 hours then.

    "had correspondence"

    suggests written messages on social.

    So damaging to the (I am sure) many gay players in the football league and beyond.
  • Had everyone on strings.
  • All previous tweets deleted.
  • The account has since been deleted.
  • Whole account gone
  • I'm not surprised.

  • Has tweeted that he can’t do it. Is not strong enough to go through with it.

    As someone who thought this was genuine it is disappointing. 
    Doesn't mean it wasn't.

    Why completely delete the account then?

    Its not as though anyone knew who he was in the first place

    If he wasnt strong enough why not be like the Secret Footballer and stay nameless for as long as he wanted?

    No surprise but a real shame anyone would hoax about such a thing. Wonder if this might set back any genuinely gay footballer from coming out. 

    Quite the opposite I would hope.  It has stoked debate and garnered wide and durable publicity in the way it was delivered. Has been lots of positive coverage over a period of weeks now,  well wishing and support so could perhaps give some the confidence to come out.

    Perhaps not the intended motives but could be a conduit for bringing the game into 2019.

    Hope not...I think any gay footy player who was thinking of coming out on the back of this would think feck it...HERE I GO.



  • Maybe. I hope so. 
  • People have too much time on their hands in this day and age. Desperate for a bit of attention.

     Very true. Feels that way though with the deletion of the account.
  • I hope the WUM is named and shamed
    So do I. To me it was obvious. People shouldn’t be allowed to mess around on social media on such serious stuff. Am sure it must be traceable 

     
    If he was doing it as a wind up he'd have been wise to use a VPN to do it

    Can someone be easily traced if doing that?
  • Didn't see much newspaper coverage about this. Think they suspected a fake.

  • Some people got too much time on their hands. Probably a teacher in real life as I know they get a lot of time off 
  • It is a dangerous global environment for gay people.

  • Perhaps there are no gay footballers
  • Thought those suspecting a WUM were so cynical. Turns out they were right all along. Such a shame.
  • Perhaps there are no gay footballers
    There are four or five in the England women's squad, for a start.

    Nothing wrong with that....
  • I would has at a guess that the person responsible for this ‘wheeze’ is in fact gay.
