Divisiveness

Baldybonce

Much talk of this last night and also about what to do next.
So, Leeds at home.
A Red and White game?. Wear your colours with pride. Show Katrien we can be as one.

Boycotters.
Not the Leeds game please, it was bad enough hearing Ipswich telling us our support is shit.

iamdan

How about buck the trend and get behind the team?

Halix

I'm not being divisive, its some of you lot.

I'm sure everyone will if the team show 100% from the kickoff. At least one of ours should have been embarrassed by his performance yesterday.
Commitment works both ways.

Whose ever suggested NOT getting behind the team?

I was part of the protest yesterday but u backed the team 100% the second they ape are at the tunnel! Cheered all the way through the game! Refused to boo and stayed to clap the players off the pitch...

The two are not mutually exclusive!

Because we don't..

Fox - hammered when does anything
Sarr - hammered
Makienok when we came off - sarcastic cheers
Pope - sarcastically cheer at

Harriott - laughed at when he was here


Seeing 'fans' tweeting Fox last night;
'please leave you're shit'
'Go follow bumboy Watt to Cardiff'


Great support.

True, but absolutely nothing to the with Black and Whit is it. These things were going on long before that particular campaign.

@Henry Irving oh and you tweeting JBG 'get lost' fantastic support from you.

I haven't seen it, but that is almost certainly a fake account from a wanker who takes more pleasure attacking fellow Charlton fans with a keyboard than anything else in his life. @Henry Irving on here, does not tweet, as far as I know.

Fumbluff

Yeah our @Henry Irving is a kiss-ass, he'd tweet no such thing

Well, as I sat in my padded seat in the West yesterday KM was clearly not bothered about a few posters being held up. Sky to my knowledge didn't mention it, so it's swept under the carpet for another week.

We either vote with our feet or not at all. Would you play for our club in this current atmosphere?

It's a tale of unrequited love,

A modern version of single white female.
The poster even wears a cardigan whilst tweeting. Weirdo.

Alright mate, I was at the game and haven't watched any replays. Just going on what I've heard, I stand corrected. Alls well.

Judging by how many people out and about are mesmerised by their devices an old bloke like me needs to accept the phenomena even when not fully understanding it.
It is perhaps not appropriate for me to comment given how much time I spend on Charlton Life, but all this trouble with Facebook and twittering is not real life.

That internet media provides a platform for the deeply unpleasant expression of aspects of humanity is a shame, but it is an unrealistic minority pastime. What needs to catch up with the technology is the skill in people to realise internet abuse is not how the world is defined. At the moment abusers have a power and influence beyond what is realistic, and if players such as Watt and Fox take the abuse seriously they will damage themselves.

Freedom of expression will always give the abusers a platform, but I try to think of them as the individual dickhead shouting in a stadium full of people observing a minutes silence.

This electronic world isn't the whole of real life, but a tiny aspect of it.

The Internet is still a relatively recent creation and we are still getting used to it and learning about it. It reminds me of the Wild West, lawless and harsh.

Everyone's opinions are at their fingertips and that naturally causes divisions. If this technology was available in the 80s would it have hindered the Back to the Valley/Valley Party movement?

That's a bloody difficult question. FWIW, my take on it is:

- Before the move to Selhurst even took place, rumours would have surfaced on CL
- Rick Everitt and Steve Dixon would have been able to take over the Supporters Club more quickly from the people who thought they were troublemakers
- so we would have been organised even before we left, whereas it took maybe 3 years at Selhurst for the opposition to take shape

But overall, the main difference was that going home was something that really most fans could get behind. It was just so fundamental. "The way the club is run" is a less easy one, and not just for us. It has split Man United fans completely. You'd think Cardiff' s Always in Blue campaign would have been fundamental too, but the excellent guy from the Cardiff Trust told us stories of real nasty bitter divisions.

Football attracts people from so many different walks of life that it's almost inevitable you get divisions. And the more you spend time on social media, the more you are aware of them. As a lot of people have written, there are many fans even today who are just not that engaged with the issues.

Didn't they win Britain's Got Talent by throwing a little guy up in the air ?

@iamdan As Prague says that is a rather sad loser who wants to be me, not me.

If you read the rest of his drivel (I haven't bothered to for a long long time) you'll soon realise that.

More surprised that anyone still thinks we're the same person.

Fair play, apologies then.
Compliment someone wants to be you!

Gawd knows why but that's his problem not mine.

She looked quite bothered to me. I would say the tv coverage humiliated her, in fact.
