Beckenham Saint Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 This probably doesn't apply to most people on here, but I've just had a little look at the #saintsfc hashtag on twitter and a few comments on Dejan Lovren's official twitter. I'm pretty shocked at how ridiculous some of our fans are on Social Media, directly contacting Lovren and calling him all the names under the sun, calling him disloyal and really laying into him in a way that really will not endear our fanbase to an already alienated (sounding) Lovren. I know his comments in the media have been dreadful this morning, but until anything concrete happens, directing such negativity towards a player is going to have a very detrimental effect on any chance we may have of keeping him, and I can't get my head around the fact that some of these people don't see that. Has anyone on here taken to Twitter or Instagram to directly have a pop at him or any of the others that have gone? Would be interested to hear what you hoped to achieve by doing so! Here are some that I've seen: Jack Ayling @aylingj91 36s @DejanLovren05 we don't have to accept a bid for you, we could force you to rot in the reserves if we wanted to George Cooper @GeorgeTCooper 2m How can @DejanLovren05 's head already be at Liverpool when it's clearly up his own arse!? Rob Palmer @Not_Rob_Palmer 10m Everyone who has left will be welcomed back to the club when they face us. I hope everyone boos @DejanLovren05 . ****. james churchill @Relentless_XT 36m @DejanLovren05 ****ing disgraceful, not only taking the **** by leaving, you also insult are club by saying we have no ambition. #saintsfc bashman89 "**** off lovren, Lovren **** off! "We will sing that to you when we see your muggy self on the Liverpool bench every time. We have no ambition? Get over yourself you big headed moron. jackmcm1991 Your a ****ing embarrassment. **** off to Liverpool. Modern day footballer!
Crab Lungs Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 Sounds like some of the bedwetters on here. Good luck Dejan, another player disregarded by our new board. Better off at a club with ambitions beyond treading water. At least he has been honest but then most of you don't like that, do you?

Better off at a club with ambitions beyond treading water. At least he has been honest but then most of you don't like that, do you? You can be honest and graceful you don't have to say you're already at Liverpool in your mind.
Baird of the land Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 Hmm pretty understandable social media reaction to what are apparently direct quotes. I'm assuming he hasn't rushed to deny the comments via twittter.
Goatboy Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 It's not as though Lovren has used twitter to have a pop is it?
farawaysaint Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 It's not as though Lovren has used twitter to have a pop is it? He used the media? The #asklovren campaign also seemed like a push to get the club to let him leave if you lend your mind to conspiracy.
Beckenham Saint Posted 6 July, 2014 Author Posted 6 July, 2014 Hmm pretty understandable social media reaction to what are apparently direct quotes. I'm assuming he hasn't rushed to deny the comments via twittter. He has neither confirmed, nor denied anything (as far as I can see). Did respond to a few saints fans and official club account that wished him happy birthday, though there isn't really anything in that. I can understand people's frustrations with him, I just don't think that it's very smart to directly insult him!
Crab Lungs Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 Some of the stuff said to him on instagram is disgusting
Sour Mash Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 He has neither confirmed, nor denied anything (as far as I can see). Did respond to a few saints fans and official club account that wished him happy birthday, though there isn't really anything in that. I can understand people's frustrations with him, I just don't think that it's very smart to directly insult him! Why not? Don't particularly see the problem with those comments. Every celebrity and sportsman that has an open social media account must get that sort of thing from time to time.
S-Clarke Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 If he comes out with an article in the media, showing a total lack of interest in the fans of the club he's currently at, then he should expect some 'feedback'. Not that I agree with it, but he'd be a fool not to expect any comeback from what he said.
Goatboy Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 Much as I am against players using twitter and it could be argued that if they do, then they should expect some trolling, there is really no need for insults like these.
Nolan Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 It's not as though Lovren has used twitter to have a pop is it? He did remove "Southampton fc" From his profile bio on twitter in the last 7 days. I don't believe the newspaper articles lack validity.
Goatboy Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 That said, having read the I love Liverpool article again, he can f**k right off.
simo Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 **** him , pay me thousands of pounds a week and you can call me what you like especially after I disrespect you !
Saint_Jonny Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 Are you really surprised by this? You visit this forum and obviously use twitter, you must know by now that a keyboard and an internet connection in certain peoples hands is a lethal combination. People like that can't help themselves. They just come across as uneducated, tactless morons. Its not restricted to our little corner of the world, of course. Or even the sport of football. Social media, twitter in particular, is a playground for the stupid.
bpsaint Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 I'm sorry but our ticket money contributes to making this guy a millionaire and he thinks it's acceptable to say things like his head is already in Liverpool and slating the club for not telling him of bids, despite being under contract to SFC? **** him, he deserves everything he gets on twitter for the complete lack of respect shown towards the club and us fans.
Turkish Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 Sounds like some of the bedwetters on here. Good luck Dejan, another player disregarded by our new board. Better off at a club with ambitions beyond treading water. At least he has been honest but then most of you don't like that, do you? You ever going to be honest and come out with your reveal all or carry on acting like a c*nt forever?
Baldbarbarian Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 You pay your ticket money then you are entitled to say what ever you like
Baird of the land Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 He has neither confirmed, nor denied anything (as far as I can see).

I can understand people's frustrations with him, I just don't think that it's very smart to directly insult him! I'm not suggesting its smart, just an understandable reaction. Equally don't think he(apparently) should be insulting Saints via papers.
Saint_Jonny Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 You pay your ticket money then you are entitled to say what ever you like Really? There are people on twitter saying they hope Lovren suffers a career ending injury. Its OK to say these things because they bought tickets to a football match?
simo Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 Really? There are people on twitter saying they hope Lovren suffers a career ending injury. Its OK to say these things because they bought tickets to a football match? Sticks and stones!?
Smirking_Saint Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 Football fans in being dopey ****s shocker Social media opens you to abuse, none moreso than if you are a celebrity and worse if you are a team sportsman due to the passionate nature of it. Personally Id rather they werent allowed on it but its to be expected to be honest
supersonic Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 Not surprised at all. Hardly look at that # anymore. fully of moron's or people who think they know it all
Goatboy Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 Not surprised at all. Hardly look at that # anymore. fully of moron's or people who think they know it all As opposed to here?
Saints foreva Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 How long before Koeman closes his account? After we lose to West Brom at St. Mary's...
lloydie Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 Deserves what he gets. Posting a dubious photo on instagram is begging to get himselft to be called a few names. And rightly so. A few people need to get over themselves, Lovren is acting like a grade A bellpiece, and these platforms are a good way for us fans to tell him like it is.
Mowgli Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 Well let's just hope that the quotes attributed to him are actually accurate. If not, I think we need to work on our people skills....
Saint_Jonny Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 How long before Koeman closes his account? Good lord I hadn't thought of that. We are going to look like the helmet bregade.
supersonic Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 As opposed to here? even more so than on here - full of either young kids "giving it large" - middle aged people having a mid-life crisis or teenagers thinking they know everything. At least most of the posters on here are relatively civil
Beckenham Saint Posted 6 July, 2014 Author Posted 6 July, 2014 How long before Koeman closes his account? This was something I forgot to address in the OP. If our fans think their opinion matters to the point where they feel the need to let the players or managers know it so directly, it's surely only a matter of time until these people end up slating Koeman on there too if we end up on a bad run or a signing doesn't work out! I know that these figures likely won't pay much attention to these prats, but it does reflect badly on our fanbase. Are you really surprised by this? You visit this forum and obviously use twitter, you must know by now that a keyboard and an internet connection in certain peoples hands is a lethal combination. People like that can't help themselves. They just come across as uneducated, tactless morons. Its not restricted to our little corner of the world, of course. Or even the sport of football. Social media, twitter in particular, is a playground for the stupid. Unfortunately I am not surprised at all! Couldn't have put your analogy better myself.
Whitey Grandad Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 Apart from this forum I don't use any of the social media. Perhaps it's an age thing.
SaintRobbie Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 I'm not surprised. Lovren has done more damage to this club in 24hours than good he did in a year. Hope the Club properly discipline him and we sell him to Pompey.
St Chalet Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 It's good to see that our fans are behaving like CL level bellend fans. Shows ambition.
oldskoolsi Posted 6 July, 2014 Posted 6 July, 2014 If people think those twitter trolls are being offensive, report them. It will do more good than moaning on here about what people are saying on twitter.
