I was aware of the Twitter posts but hadn't seen them - there's a link to them in the Just Giving page. Profoundly depressing. It may be a futile gesture but it made me feel a little better to do SOMETHING to try and demonstrate that we're not all *rseholes

To show that we're not all a-holes probably. It's debatable whether it's the best way to show support, but everything seems to be geared around donation sites these days. I thoroughly support the sentiment though.
Ha ha
So tell me Swansea. Are you a part of any Whatsapp group with your mates and if so why haven't you deleted yourself after receiving a controversial image or text - or god help us are all your mates as serious and morally perfect as you?

We know nothing about the family they may already be wealthy beyond all our dreams.
Do we even know why she is crying or is it just speculation that it’s football related, she may have a little brother out of shot who has just pulled her hair.
Its attention seeking nonsense.
EDIIT - see my retraction below. Called it very wrong.

I am guessing you mean the fundraier is the attention seeking nonsense.
As for the examples you offer that doesn't make any sense. No one cares some kid was crying.
The issue is that some grown adults took to social media and portrayed her father as Jimmy Saville and called her, a small child, a c**t and a slut etc.
Do you have any family, any kiddies? Imagine some men referring to them as slags.

Her reason for crying is completely irrelevant. It's the bile on Twitter that's the issue. Surely you can see that?

Seemingly so, which is why some people are embarrassed by it. But a surprisingly high number of people seem to not see too much of a problem in it.
The tweets are an absolute disgrace, Twitter at its absolute cesspit worst. But surely letting it disappear- as it would by now is probably the best thing that can happen? Rather than keep dragging it up

I'm not claiming the moral high ground for not wanting to call Germans Nazis and piling on a little girl. It's just not for me. You can do what you want.

Yeah probably. Continually dragging it up won't change anything, that's fairly obvious.

Ah, all that's just banter though for the wannabe hoolie brigade.
I mean, most of them bricked it for the Russia trip after seeing some upsetting videos but a small girl is the perfect target for these pwopa 'ard nuts.

Well that will teach me to read the story properly. I didn’t read it properly and assumed it was because she was crying.
I obviously don’t condone the so called “banter”.
The guys good intentions though have probably made the situation worse, not sure what an appropriate response would have been other for social media to police this stuff better.

I haven't mentioned the tweets (of which I wasn't aware of) I just questioned the pathetic attempt of self grandeur.
I mean, where was my cousins donation when she got her Rubettes stylee Ipswich hat stolen by a bunch of marauding Scoucers back in 76?
It's all a bit daft.
Oh, and I posted yesterday that I didn't think the laughing at her was appropriate - check it out - but I see little difference in those holier than thou condemning the crowd for cheering (whilst p1ssed and in a throw of jubilance) while they themselves chuckle at whatsapp messages about Fred West, Maddie Mcann, Jimmy Savile etc etc etc

i know lets start a giving page for fergal. oh wait
I started the page for Fergal and so what. He hoodwinked us and I tried to help him out. Shock horror, I got wooshed. Many other people donated and the money went to charity.
What's your point?

I'll leave the tweets to one side, that's pretty disgusting. But the amount of hand-wringing over pantomime booing the German national anthem and cheering at at crying girl on the screen is pathetic.

What's going on with TWTD these days..? Why the necessity to be so rude and disrespectful to other posters. All happening with increasing regularity it seems.

Both actions show a complete lack of class. We should be better than that.
