To be honest although I'd heard something about a war and atrocities ( What war doesn't have atrocities? ) in that region, it merged into one with all the many civil wars and conflicts that appear to be happening all over the world at the moment. The middle east and Africa have had endless conflicts my whole life from as far back as I can remember first watching the news. This isn't me being callous about such events but although they horrify and fill you with dismay, as an individual you are limited in what you can do. There are so many endless conflicts, if you became emotionally involved in even just a couple they would consume your whole life and probably have a huge affect on your mental health. It wasn't until suddenly every single social media platform regarding our club was being flooded with posts naming our club and owner that I delved deeper. Apparently this conflict has been going on since 2013, that's two years. I'm wondering why they are suddenly naming our owner now. The sheer volume of posts suddenly appearing mean this has to be a well orchestrated campaign, there is no way this is all just concerned individuals posting.
So if true what happens next? Where do we go from here? Again this isn't me being callous but myself and probably many on here just want to go and support our football club. Football is a place we go to try and forget all the shit and horrors happening in life for ninety minutes, a form of escapism, where our sole focus is on our team out on the field kicking a football around. For years now that has been overshadowed by legal complexities, first with EUFA and presently the premier league. That however pales into comparison with these latest slurs and accusations. It's worrying to say the least and sucking the enjoyment out of what going to watch a game of football should be about.
