Is social media killing the game ?

Not respecting the other team and being Billy 'Big Bollocks' at every opportunity.
It's rather doing my head in.

You are free to not log in I suppose.

Nah. Not all opinions are worthy of respect.

In fact, my main gripe with social media is that there are ****s that think all opinions are valid.

Yes but we would hate to exclude posters such as yourself :-)

Very droll and not at all predicable.

Can you be both droll and predictable? Was not a dig anyway but your statement was just to tempting for my predictable humour.

It can and yes I left myself entirely open and even considered that before I hit send.

Social Media is killing society - Full stop.
People use it as though there are no consequences to their actions, indeed If somebody said some of the things to my face that I see trolls say to people on Social Media I'd twat them. Respecting someone else's opinions is very important for the cohesion of society - even if you disagree with them. Without it, it all goes to pot.
That said, of more concern to me is seeing our fan base morph into a clone of that for Old Toilet FC. Every week it morphs just a little bit more. It needs to stop.

I often wonder if the negatives of social media will outweigh the positives.

We do learn so much through this medium for example peoples experiences in war zones etc, under occupation and a connection with people we will probably never meet or see the world through their prism.

But then the flip side is the proliferation of ill-thought out views etc. Will be interesting to see how society has been shaped by these changes in 40 years.

You must also remember that social media allows we’d blue hammer to post about Justin Bieber’s various albums.

That was one of the highly valued positives I was referencing.

I think an equally valid question would be "is @BlueHammer85 killing music?".
