Yeah, I hear you @JamesSeed I just think it's a bit too "matey" for my liking!0

Sunderland fans are genuinely nice. I have mixed with them since I was 14 as I had a friend from there and the family took me to Sunderland away games in London.
I can't recall any trouble with there fans and doubt a lot of ours would be gracious in defeat at such important Wembley games ae 1998 or 2019.
That is the difference. It is not love but respect and old fashion courtesy. In the distant past such things were common.
You can find if you Google 'Back in the Day' or another modern idiom that I don't like0 -

I know it’s a weird thing to get bothered about - but it did seem a bit desperate/tenuous.2 -
Honestly don’t get the Sunderland love in. We played them twice at wembley, that’s it. They’re no different to any other set of fans but each to their own, there’s certainly nothing ‘embarrassing’ about saying well done.3

Sunderland fans have been graceful in defeat twice to us. Would we have been as graceful?
What's wrong with congratulating the club? They're not our rivals in the way that our Surrey and Bermondsey neighbours are, we've got no beef with them, and unlike certain other northern teams, I never get the sense of entitlement from them despite being a really big, well-supported club.
Not sure all of those replies are from Charlton fans but even those that are, so what? Plenty of us are happy that Sunderland have gone up and can wish them all the best next season unless they get us in one of the cups.13 -

Nothing at all wrong in wishing some of the nicest supporters in the game well when they have been so respectful of us in the past. Well done Sunderland.11

cafctom said:Twitter is absolutely horrific nowadays, and the comments of any football related tweet are usually full of people throwing mud.
Be thankful that we don’t support one of the ‘big 6’ sides though - where every discussion is properly vitriolic, filled with foreign fans who’ve never been to a game - obsessed with discrediting each other.
Saw a tweet yesterday from Sky Sports where Kevin De Bruyne was announced as Premier League player of the season - or something to that effect. Not one single comment talking about how good he is, or a congratulations or anything. Just armchair fans of other clubs talking about how it is rigged, embarrassing etc.
Are the younger generation of football fans truly this unhappy in life to be so constantly angry?3 -

seth plum said:cafctom said:seth plum said:In what universe does what anybody says on Twitter matter?
Surely it is known by Charlton ‘official’, Donald Trump, Colleen Vardy, and the rest, that Twitter is a sewer and it is used by unimaginative morons?
The tragedy is that those who use Twitter assume everybody else thinks it matters, like bitcurrency, taking Twitter seriously is akin to believing in the existence of Ghosts.
Footballers will often see the abuse they get subjected to, as will admins. It might be easy for a lucky few to just ignore it and not let it affect you - but that’s unfortunately not how the human mind works for a lot of people.
As discussed in a separate thread recently, the behaviour that many partake in online by hurling out abuse, insults etc without consequence will undoubtedly have a knock on effect to their ‘real life’ personalities at some point.
I associate luck with winning a lottery.
One way to ignore Twitter is to not have it and not look at it, are you saying that it is only lucky people that achieve the personal fortitude enabling them to do this (with the added bonus of not enriching Elon Bezoz Zuckerbugger)?
When you say real people sitting behind accounts, my understanding is it is like Chinese whispers where people pass things on, how much intellectual or emotional effort does it take to retwitter something? How much reality is involved?3 -

It's a numbers game:
I was on a coach that had a Bottle thrown at it from a disgruntled Sunderland fan that cracked a back window but didn't shatter so the driver said we keep going in the Super Clive final but the vast majority of Sunderland fans were cress fallen but non violent.
The Late,late show winner under Bowyer I travelled by train and was amazed how well the Sunderland supporters took it. The vast majority had left by the time I vacated the stadium as I think they were about to lock up.1 -

A female Sunderland fan I got talking to on the tube after the Bauer victory gave me a sweet kiss on the cheek as she and her husband got off.
She wasn’t even blind.2 -
Callumcafc said:What on earth is going on? Am I out of touch here? Send a classy tweet to Sunderland congratulating them on promotion and the responses are mind bending…
their emotion is real enough but they're too dim to recognise they're jealous of Sunderland's promotion and they're lashing out like the indulged toddlers they'll always be
they'll all have needed their nappies changing and their snotty noses wiped, IF Mummy was able to prise them away from their phones0 -
Jesus fucking Christ I just checked Charlton Twitter. Morons. Crybabies, halfwits, morons. We are a sorry fucking lot8

Twitter exists to enrich the likes of Elton Bezosuckerberg, and to provide a safe space for morons by all accounts.
I understand it is the realm of folk who eat Macdonalds whilst talking of crypto money.
It is rather sad that Charlton Athletic are associated with it in any way, especially sad that it is something designed to exclude, not include.2 -
Well if Dave12345 is cancelling so will I!!3
