Promising signs right from the first game of season.
Wish he could enjoy his goals more though. Think that's been part of his problem, that downbeat nature he's been carrying for years now.
Next goal go nuts Marcus.
Think its more because of the criticism he has got over the last 18 months, his goals have been few, if he gets going and his his purple patch, I suspect you will see more of a celebration from him.
You know nothing of human nature.Who worries about cowards on Social media??..seriously.
Being human...I would say I do.You know nothing of human nature.
You would if you were getting constant messages of abuse.Who worries about cowards on Social media??..seriously.
You would if you were getting constant messages of abuse.
What..from faceless cowards whose sole ambition is to make someone feel bad?You would if you were getting constant messages of abuse.
If he wants to stay on social media’s that’s his decision. Why should racists and people sending abuse force him off it? What the feck has abuse got to do with his performances on the pitch?Well then come off social media and start performing on the pitch, which he earns an obscene amount of money for. He's not a teenager anymore, he's a seasoned 26 year old professional.
Do you even know what messages he gets? Imagine reading abusive and racist messages sent to you. If you feel that won’t have an effect on anyone then I’m sorry but you living on a different planet.What..from faceless cowards whose sole ambition is to make someone feel bad?
People who are affected by this need to be educated in what to pay attention to and what to ignore.
No one should have to deal with abuse. End of. Criticism about playing performance and outright abuse are two different things.I understand that Rashford gets alot of criticism on social media, some of it is definitely not justified. However; as a footballer at club with expectations, you will have to deal with it.
Does he expect to be paid the most and get away with not performing on the pitch? If he was trying or looked like he was trying on the pitch, half the abuse would drop.
His issue is he gets too down with criticism and too high with praise.
It doesnt help that he comes out with nonsense like he did in the players tribunal.. just do your talking on the pitch. Football fans are fickle, if you score 20 goals a season, you wont get the abuse as much.

No need to feel sorry, just read that second line in my post again...it is all about education or the faceless cowards win every time.Do you even know what messages he gets?

Sorry misread your post. Sadly you can have as much education as you like and sometimes some of the comments can still trigger. Obviously hasn’t helped since people like Musk took over Twitter and did away with any form of moderation.No need to feel sorry, just read that second line in my post again...it is all about education or the faceless cowards win every time.
Thanks, will take a look at that. I do find there are a lot more bots now, especially since Musk has taken over Twitter and with all of the political interference. Obviously there will be real people mixed in as well sending nasty abusive messages.How many are bots? I’d bet a huge amount.
If you’ve ever come across the Dead Internet Theory , you might already be familiar with the idea that a significant portion of the internet is automated—populated by bots, not real people. And once you start noticing them, you’ll realize how many there are, especially on platforms like Twitter.
Next time you’re scrolling through Twitter (I wouldn’t recommend it), click on the top replies to a viral tweet. Check out their media tab and see if they’ve posted the same image multiple times. That’s often a tell-tale sign of a bot account. Once you get good at spotting them, you’ll see bots are everywhere, manipulating conversations and driving extreme opinions.
These bots poison discourse and harden people’s views. You start seeing the same fake opinions recycled over and over, and it’s easy to fall into the trap of believing that’s what everyone thinks.
If you’ve ever found yourself getting emotionally worked up by things you see online (I’ve been there), realizing that there’s a multi-million (maybe billion) dollar operation behind these fake accounts can really help you step back. These “opinions” you’re reacting to? A lot of the time, they’re just copy-pasted bot responses, designed to stir the pot and get you riled up.
I genuinely hope young people like Marcus (or any young person spending time on social media) learn to recognize that a lot of what they see online isn’t even real. The angry, divisive comments they get? Often just noise from bots, not actual humans.

I would rather action was taken against socials so people who send messages could be identified more easily and prosecuted. Sadly we’ve gone in the opposition direction recently for that with stuff like Twitter.Regardless if its bots or not, its never nice to read thousands of messages that abuse you. I know people say, dont read it and what not but the only way of doing that is completely going of socials.
Still no condemnation of the messages. Your first response was to blame him for not coming off social media and then somehow link it with his performances on the pitch. Have a word with yourself. Says more about you as a person than anything else. Pathetic really.Do you think he's the only footballer on the planet to receive such messages?
Everyone is different I guess, for me once I know its a computer saying something stupid or insulting all emotion is taken out of it. My computer could insult me everytime I turned it on and it would have the same emotional impact as a loading bar.Regardless if its bots or not, its never nice to read thousands of messages that abuse you.

He’s getting fecking abuse not criticism for his performances! You’ve just linked both and therefore said it’s fine because he’s not playing well. He’s 26, he should grow up. You are truly disgusting. I don’t give a shit how crap he is on the pitch, no excuse for abuse. You’ve just confirmed it’s ok though. Like I said, you’ve confirmed exactly who you are with comments like that.I'm not going to have a word with myself, because I truly believe in what I'm saying and think you're making excuses, as Rashford does. If somebody like Roy Keane put in dog shit performances for an entire year for Manchester United, I don't think he'd complain about getting criticized for it.

If you were getting called the n-word daily and people were threatening all kinds of things towards your mother, I'd say you'd be pretty depressed by it all.Who worries about cowards on Social media??..seriously.
If that is the case, you need to re-read your post. The post was about abuse not performances. Players shouldn’t be immune for criticism of performances and Rashford was poor year but it not give anyone the right to abuse. There is a clear difference.I'm talking about his criticism for his performances, not the abuse.

Trying to put myself in Marcus' shoes, if I accept the idea that most of the abusive message I get are trolls and bots I then have to sieve through them to find the real abusive messages, then what am I actually doing?No I get that but within that there is also real people. Also lets not forget he gets abused at OT too, so its not just bots.
Because the title of the survey is abuse not criticism. Alan Shearer calling out Rashford for poor performances is criticism. Someone sending your personal abusive messages or racists one is abuse. It’s as simple as that. Rather than just condemning any abuse he gets, you seem to doubling down and making excuses.How can we determine how much is abuse, and not comments calling him out of his attitude on the pitch. Unless we see the comments first hand. Have you seen them? If they're available to the public, fair enough.

Abuse can take many forms, doesn’t need to be all racist. Can be comments about appearances, family members and just outright abusive personal language.If the survey doesn't differentiate between abuse and criticism, it's skewed. That's why I asked you if you're one hundred percent sure it does. Are they all racist?
