JENGLE Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 http://www.cornwalllive.com/helston-ladies-footballer-banned-over-foul-mouthed-twitter-rant-against-captain-birdseye-referee/story-30013779-detail/story.html I have put this topic in this section of the forum and also the Sunday League section. Nice to see this sort of thing is being dealt with. What are people's thoughts on the sanction though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we should do, but all I'm saying is that players (and in a couple of situations clubs too) should learn to tweet without making a direct attack on personnel.

Guest Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 The FA are clamping down massively on comments made on social media; since October alone I know of two people that have made comments on the Trelawny League Facebook page who have been charged by the FA for their comments. Whilst everyone is free to voice their opinion, we must be aware that those opinions can and will be seen by many, many people. Just because someone hasn't registered to this forum, like your page on Facebook or follow you on twitter doesn't mean that they can't and won't see it. Personally, I am glad that these guys and girls are being disciplined for their words and actions. Most of the time, they are unwarranted and can really affect the people that they are aimed at. It was also a point that was made by many at the Respect & Behaviour meetings: Deal with conduct on social media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JENGLE Posted December 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 I personally feel as though she should've been banned for longer. This sort of punishment I don't think will help players learn from their actions. But it's a start and surely we are going in the right direction to deal with these actions from players.

Tom Trust Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 And such language from a Lay-dee! In the good old days I remember Sally Rogers collecting our side's first ever booking - for ungentlemanly conduct. That was in the 70s. She, nor any other female footballer I encountered back then, objected to that wording. They used to shout "man on" to warn a team mate without any embarrassment. Then, of course, the PC brigade took over leading, I believe, to a change in the wording of that "ungentlemanly conduct" rule! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
