Georginio Wijnaldum

[Harv]

Imagine if playing football in front of millions was added to tue deal?

Worra moaning cunt he's turned out to be. ****ing hinted at it for a season too. Can you imagine the negotiations

'We'd like you to sign a deal to stay, Gini'

'Oh, I don't know if I can handle the pain for another season'

'Eh, what's happened Gini?'

'Scott from Halesowen called me a cunt after the WBA game'

'What section was he in, Gini'

'It wasn't face to face, oh and Carl from Hounslow said I ghosted through games too'

'We'll deal with it, Gini, but you need to point them out to us'

'It was on the Have Your Say section of the BBC website and on Twitter. I'm so upset that I've had to block Scott'

I think he’s a bit out of line here tbh- if he was genuinely abused at any point, he shoulda posted about it at the time or talked about it in an interview at the time or that..

Now that he’s left the club, should keep things classy- I’m sure that he knows he was/is loved by 99.99% of LFC fans, he should only be saying good things about the fans at this point.

[Fosterbloke]

Just call him a vole cunt and shut the thread.

The most bizarre thing is that those comments could've been made by WUMs and trolls and most likely not Liverpool fans

[Venton]

I genuinely thought that footballers would have coaching on how to avoid reading the cesspit that is twitter. I still like and respect him as a footballer, but as a grown ass man what a let down he is.

The state of the world is sad when people are openly admitting the opinions of the faceless on social media platforms are as important as management and colleagues. He, himself stated that he felt love from teammates, manager and supporters in the stadium. Letting ****wits on social media derail perceptions is crazy. They exist everywhere, it's not like he won't have them at PSG or anywhere else. Maybe Liverpool is one of the few clubs to have unique global appeal where it is magnified a little more.

Either way, I point the finger more at society than him, although you'd think people would be able to disassociate and listen to the voices that really matter. Regardless, he was a really good player for Liverpool and he's done what he's believed best for him. Time to close the book and for him to continue his career.

I'd literally sit and be abused constantly for £5m a year, and be occasionally weed on

Some folk would do that for free

Mmm...I realised, having submitted the message, that as expressed it probably wasn't that helpful a comment, for at least two reasons: (1) I did not mean to suggest that the comments to which I was referring were racist or were some other sort of extreme abuse, so maybe 'appalling' was not the right word; and (2) in any case what appalls me might not appall others. So for that I apologise; I am sorry.

I continue though to be of the view that some of the comments posted on this website when we lose (and even when we go behind in a game) are way over the top (hence the, I believe, widely held view that the website is best avoided at such times) and in my view Gini has been the focus of more such comments than most other players in the last couple of years. So I think what he has said is fair comment...unfortunately. He does not appear to be suggesting though that that is what drove him out of the club though.

Comments are definitely over the top, football is an emotional rollercoaster and some people let their short term emotions affect them more than others. But I don’t think we see many posts that would fall into the category of ‘problematic’.

With Gini, I must say that I don’t really recognise the suggestion that he has been unfairly targeted or used as a scapegoat, certainly compared to others. I see people say he’s been invisible in games, or that his effort has looked lacking last season, but he does not seem to get criticised as ****e like so many on social media do e.g. Hendo, lovren, even Bobby during his iffy spells. I’m sure he notices the worst of it, like anyone would, but on balance, while he may be under appreciated, he doesn’t seem to get proportionately more stick than he ‘deserves’ (obviously nobody really deserves to receive stick, but you get my drift). If lovren had complained about criticism from fans, it would be far more understandable than Gini.

But he has the right to feel how he feels, and others have the right feel how they feel about it I guess.

[Charly]

At the end of the day, he got a lot of great praise from most of the fans for most of the time, and earnt millions of pounds and won many trophies while cementing himself as a Liverpool legend. Its a bit difficult to sympathise because he feels he got stick on social media, because there is an easy solution to that. If people want to use social media as some kind of self affirmation to feel good about themselves, then they are doing it wrong. I think this is just a wee bit cynical by Wijnaldum.
