Players on here

Probably been asked before, but @AFKABartram or another mod know for a fact that some players do come on here to read comments, or even have a login?

Always wondered

No names obviously

    I'm a former player. I can't tell you too much about my footballing career, but I have some great stories to tell from the 5 prison sentences I've served.

    Don't think so tbh @DA9

    i think players used to regularly read forums ten years ago, I think that's dropped considerably now and it's easier to dip into Twitter for fans views etc if they were interested in it. They might follow the odd link of something off Twitter, but doubt they'd actively go out their way.

    I don't actually think these days they are that interested in what fans think. Youngsters at the start of their career maybe, but think that dilutes once they become established. Far more likely to be players friends & family taking an interest than players themselves.

    Don't think it's particularly healthy for players if I'm honest. If there were ten comments on a player, 8 positive and 2 negative, it would be the two negative they would take from it

    He hasn't been on here for a while has he?
  • Tony Cahones is on here all the time trying to find people to ban from The Valley.

    No, I'm not!
  • Jacko was asked about it on that 1905 programme thing the club started doing a while back. He said he is aware of this place and pops in now and again is more than aware of the 'legs have gone' comments (was a few years ago and was definitely bullshit back then). Also said he advises younger players to steer clear of this sort of thing for reasons similar to those put forward by AFKA above.

    This is from memory form a few years ago so if someone finds the video don't pick this to pieces...

    Thanks to the player who drove in this weekend gone while I was handing out leaflets for Belgium at the top of Floyd Road, drove through and stopped, wound the window down and asked for a leaflet.

    They might be curious at times regarding what fans think.

    It depends how solid the manager is, in my opinion.

    If you want feedback on your performances then the player should only feel the need to get that answer from the man he reports to.


  • Wonder if there are any players reading this!!

    One of my mates was obsessed with going on and checking the forums of the clubs his brother played for. When I went with him to watch his bro play, he'd even be checking em, sitting in the car in the grounds car park, 10 minutes after the game had finished, to see what they were saying.
