[Albion] What's happened to Adam Webster.

[Paulie Gualtieri]

What do you suspect the parents of?

I EXPECTED better

At which point do the club get involved and ban this individual for a period of games?

The whole ticketing scrutiny, seems over the top compared to this.
Personally, I’d ban Ethan for 10 games, might help him longer term as well

I get constructive criticism, but “just f-off Adam” post apology is OTT.

I appreciate what you’re trying to say, but I don’t think you can ban someone for having an opinion. What next, banning Brexit supporters?

If the the Brexit supporters are sending directly abusive messages to people, then yes, I do

Either way, they can moan, fine, everyone is entitled to an opinion, but the abuse of Webster has been constant.

Webster will play for us again, that's a fact. We should be getting behind him

I think you’re missing my point , it’s not having an opinion that’s an issue, it’s the “just f-off Adam” and similar that is the issue.
It’s just not necessary, IMO there should be zero tolerance to this type of abuse.

I’m not saying people shouldn’t get behind him. Of course they should, especially at games. But you can’t dictate peoples’ opinions on social media, and you certainly can’t ban them from a football game for it.

Should he be banned from X? Now that’s a different question.

On X sure. But not from Brighton games. If you’re playing by that logic of abuse, most clubs would never have any fans attending games, as they’d all be banned… I honestly can’t believe there’s an adult fan alive that hasn’t gone to a game and gone “oh f-off player X” about one of our players. I know I have.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Sorry, I don't agree.
Dunk and Veltman get audible criticism from PotG corner when relevant, but Webbo gets more due to sheer numbers.
As per usual, it's all about opinions.
I like the guy, but he does worry me sometimes.

And Dunk doesn't?
Why is that?

Directly responsible for 2 goals conceded in Europa League and one against Arsenal.

Hasn"t looked comfortable yet this season.

This individual’s abuse is on X as I understand it, (see previous attachments).
This is about social media abuse.

 

[Flounce]

I am quite happy to see Webster’s name on a team sheet, there I said it

He is the latest go to scapegoat these days after Maupay and Barnes

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Webster is still a good CB at Prem level. So is Dunk. A Dunk/Webster partnership playing the system we currently play is however not good enough for Prem level.

 

[Shaktarman]

Spoilt kids who don’t have a clue about what the older fans and club went through. Cross them with a gross social media generation where they are that entitled they feel the need to @ players directly and hey presto - you get this. Knobheads.

 

[American Seagle]

Apart from the horrible error (and he wasn't the only one as Bart did the same for one goal and Estupinan for the free-kick) he had a very good game.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Some half hearted apology and then carries on slagging off Adam Webster

The other one (Mike) with some classic whataboutary

Right couple of absolute w️s.

There’s opinion and there’s abuse. Barber has said the club do not tolerate abuse of their staff and will act, I hope they do in this instance.

It wasn't an opinion. It's abuse what they were saying.
Unless you think "f*** off Adam" is opinion? And other posts of that style.

 

[wendy's tackle]

I don't often post , but I'm really angry about anyone who thinks Adam Webster deserves any kind of abuse. Totally out of order and a complete lack of understanding of what that guy has done for our club over the years. Yes, he made a bad mistake that cost us yesterday, and not for the first time either. But that's the nature of the game, how is it he gets abuse while others making just as many mistakes are somehow exempt? This guy has been a stalwart for us for many seasons and was instrumental keeping us in this division. Maybe we've moved on from his level, but when picked he continues to give his all and even yesterday saved a certain goal with a superb clearance and rescued Pervis from a red card with his positioning. He's man enough to own his mistakes unlike many, so anyone having a go outside the moment of the match should take a long hard look at themselves.

 

[brighton terra]

Whether he starts or he’s warming up on the touch line against Spurs, I’m sure a rousing song of support for Adam wouldn’t go amiss. He needs to be reassured that it was only a reactionary minority that was dishing out the abuse.

 

[Withdean South Stand]

Webster's a donkey who shouldn't still be here, but this Saggers kid is the bigger problem. Saggers out. No place for the abuse he dished out at all, deserves a knock on the door from Webster to discuss the Tweets.
