While Twitter doesn’t represent all fans it’s truly astonishing how personally cruel some people can be. I’m glad Tyrone said this. He’s obviously seen the tweets, he’s seen first hand that it has hurt his friend and teammate. There’s no need for some of hate spewed on there.

It doesn't make it right of course, but if I was that concerned about it as a football player (or singer/politician/actor/scientist whatever), I just wouldn't have a Twitter account.
Or, well that's not very helpful Tyrone. Maybe if you put as much effort into not making mistakes you wouldn't present the opponents with a gilt edged chance every single match.

Nothing wrong with criticising players on here or similar forums after a game, within reason. Seeking out somebody's Twitter to abuse them so you know they will read it is cuntish behaviour though. I have no sympathy for trolls whatsoever. Fair play Tyrone.
Leadership is set by exemplary conduct in your field not by mouthing off at the first chance you get.

Twitter is the most hostile of social media. It's full of goading. Instagram is much nicer plus you can control comments better on there.

I'd have thought a better time to do it was when it happened, not after El Ghazi scored a penalty many months later
Sure, it would have been. In the absence of that, this is still better than not doing it.
