You got me wrong, I don't seek out social media for negativity and neither do I spend my time on the cesspit that is twitter, I don't even know how to use it, I'm only registered to it so I can see certain content I really don't have time for it other than looking at the latest exclusives from certified sources, which is where on here it gets posted. The likes of tier 1 sources or agents who have verified connections with the club and players and what they are really doing behind the scences is only the things I'm interested in. Mainstream media unfortunately has fallen behind getting exclusives so it's a sorry estate of affairs that we know how to rely on platforms like twitter. And unfortunately for the last few months, every time I try to seek out news on Manchester United, it's flooded with comments about rashford, whether it's sky sports, twitter, youtube, and even on here when he doesn't even start, he's name is on top of the page.
As for neville, he was trying to stir up trouble with rashford before amorim even managed a game, calling into question rashford's decision to take a holiday to the states, when he was given 5 days off by the club and asking amorim in his first Sky sports Interview about slying leading him to trying to get him to throw rashford under the bus. The media are very clever and they know how to drive and spoon feed people narratives but I have a gift to see through to BS and I will always call it out
Sports news are not running stories because he got dropped, garnacho also didn't start against city. This has been brewing for a while now and they've been waiting for this moment to destroy Rashford's reputation. The media always build them up then throw them to the dogs. Saying that I don't disagree he's been protected, I acknowledged that already and accepted it's a release for certain fans to feel vindicated who never rated him to begin with. Salute to them
As for the words scapegoat, hate campaign, harassment these phrases existed long before the conception of social media into the days of biblical times. I don't get influenced by social media otherwise I would be joining in to pile it in on the guy, I'm just fully aware of what goes on with our club who if you didn't know actively encourages our players to promote themselves through social media. The club actually do audits for social media to see which players get the most interactions hence why Amad even though he is our best player, is not marketed heavily by the club because he's not really a big social media whore .
I make no apologises for using the words harassment, scapegoat when there really isn't any other words to describe the situation if you look up the very definition of the terms, When you have guys like Joey Barton given a platorm to put in his two cents and being able to question Rashford's professionalism and attitude and dress code and being praised for it then there are no other words. This is a man who deliberately elbowed Pedro Mendes for no reason at all, and stomped on a guy on the field and his brother jailed, now is encouraged to give judgement on players who have never acted as thuggish and unprofessional as him on and off the field
As for incidents with rashford, he's been called out for a fight after a match, a fan channel approached him who has been on his case for ages, called him a disgrace because he didn't shake his hand because he had backstage access and was waiting for every player to acknowledge him like a overgrown fan boy. A fan marched on to the pitch once to confront Paul Pogba in his last season with us during the days when Souness had a personal vendetta against him, so don't tell me what happens through social media doesn't filter through to the grounds.
My entire point is to highlight how social media influences people's opinion, I've seen posts in here talking about his wages, his dress code, and how he drives a Bentley so obviously it's filtering through to this forum also. Obviously the majority of posters on here are sensible and I enjoy reading their points because it's football related and have no issue with any criticisms towards Rashford's performances, but then I feel even when he does perform well some posters want to down play it. Even when he hasn't started he's get blasted
And twitter was around during the rooney asking for a transfer request and flirting with city, that's why goons went round to his house and confronted him. The same thing happened with Steven Gerrard when he flirted with the idea of moving to Chelsea.
I don't loiter on twitter, istagram, etc I value my privacy too much to be and don't have the time to be countering all the cesspit braindead posts on there and it's even worse now with Elon Mask letting anyone be monetised even if they post pure hate speech and filth
