Do the right job and report them through Twitter.

Report - >

- Someone else or a specific group of people

- Harassed or intimidated with violence (the first one applies)

- Wishing harm on them

- Disease

Easy....

If you think it doesn't do anything it very much does, if more than one person reports. I've reported a number of people from Twitter for vile content and they've subsequently been banned.

May take a while but Twitter will tell you if the persons account has been suspended or removed. Just do it, these social media companies are very much on the naughty step and will look into it.

Oh wow, I had no idea they sometimes don't work. Must be quite cool, in a weird way, to have a hotshot surgeon fly in to treat you.

Glad to hear the 2nd one has done it though, hopefully it sticks!


Very unusual for it not to work.

My problem is usually found in the top chambers of the heart,it’s very rarely found in all 4 chambers. I am apparently 1 in a billion, literally as I have it in all 4. Only 5 other survivors of that in the World, and I am possibly the only one in Europe.

This must have come as such a terrible shock for Enock at 24. His first thoughts must have been about prolonging his life before thinking about his football playing career. Well, that's how I read his social media post anyway.

I'm pleased we enjoyed him while we could and that he can walk away.

Blimey. An actual miracle on NSC. Take care of yourself.

So gutted to hear this as seemed such a nice guy. Sure he’ll find success in coaching or similar. I guess less likely to be here though now we have a brand new team installed who haven’t worked with him for long. Might make more difference back home anyway to a lot more people. Hope he has a long and happy career doing something safe for him.

Poor old Enock !
I was shocked when I heard this yesterday. A personal tragedy for the lad . I am sure that the club will do all that it can for him but nothing makes up for the loss of a career at age 24.... Let’s hope he finds a new path to follow that brings him happiness.
It is a setback for the club too , a loss of a midfield player... but right now it is all about the young man..

Gutted to hear this.
Seems like a great guy and a top player too, who I think we would have seen a lot more of.
Stay healthy Enock!

Maybe the club will offer him a coaching role with our juniors to start with.

This news has really upset me. He is such a bright, optimistic human being. We are really going to miss him in our midfield. He is a physical beast of a man, a real athlete that we had needed for a long time. If anyone can get over this in a positive manner it's Enock. We can all be thankful of course that the worst case scenario never happened. Really wish him all the best.

Exactly my thought on his immediate future. The club will try, as it always does, to do the right thing. All depends on what he wants of course.

Exactly - I'm sure if he wants to stay with the Albion then the club will try to find him something. He would also be a fantastic Club Ambassador, such a positive and pleasant guy. Then again he may want to return to Zambia. Whatever, we wish him all the best...and I for one will always remember his goal against Liverpool!!

Seems some fans want to arrange a minutes applause for Mwepu ahead of the Brentford game.

To me a strange approach given applause is usually for when someone has died as opposed to having to retire for medical reasons. Far better just to chant his name or display Zambia flags.

Why not a minutes applause for what he has achieved in his (all too) short career, and what he has done for our club?

I think it's a great idea. Would be more appropriate perhaps that we do it at the Amex before our next home game, in front of our own fans.

I see his Twitter feed is alive with great advice from people urging him to ignore the medics and trust that the good lord will cure him.

Must be comforting to have religious faith when you're facing such horrible news in your life. But I wouldn't want uninformed zealots assuring me that science is somehow misguided and god will look after me when the diagnosis is this serious. Dangerous not just for Enock but perhaps for vulnerable unwell people reading the thread.

Not saying its the same situation, and to be honest I can't remember the full details but didn't we effectively tell Connor Goldson his career was over in professional football upon his initial diagnosis. But now look at him.

I may have misremembered that and it did say Mwepu has seen various specialists

No, Goldson was sent for immediate surgery. There are many different heart conditions some of which can be treated.

Does the cub ever go after the ones that keep doing the 'she said no' thing about Dunk?
These sort of things always remind me why I don't use twitter.
