than I am David Burns right now - yet the majority of the forum seems focussed on the latter
One is the father of a professional footballer who has likely experienced criticism in some his whole career, and will have access to an extended support network.
The other is just a fan on TWTD who yes - has questionable opinions - but clearly cares immensely about Town and is unlikely to have anywhere near the same network and has just lost a major part of their online interaction (assumption). He's ended up as the recipient of a massive pile on which probably wasn't pleasant.
If you're reading this Frimmers, look after yourself and reach out to people if you need anything. |  |

If your support network is a website full of middle aged blokes bickering all day long, you probably need to re-evaluate your life choices anyway.
He'll be fine ya big Jessie! |
I wouldn't dismiss the importance of online communities to people. |  | | |

Fair enough. My post was a bit tongue in cheek, but I got banned for a long while and I survived! I did miss the bantz on twtd though |  |

Agreed.

Jesus just grow a pair ffs. Or leave, along with the overdue banning of nothing more or less than a poster on a forum. |
Leave because I disagree with you?
Yeah, it's a lovely place this. | |

Why would you assume David Burns would have an extended support network but Frimmers wouldn't? You presumably don't know either of them.
And let's just remember, this was all Frimmers' doing. Chickens came home to roost.
Seems very odd to die on the hill of a poster who slated a player with 3 years of posts, than the father of said player, who made ONE tweet about it!
I hope both are ok. And I hope Phil is ok. And I hope you are ok. |  |
| Trust the process. Trust Phil. |

Very reluctantly if posters have a long-term involvement with the site. | | | |

Someone mentioned the possibility of addiction to a certain style of posting earlier - must say that’s something which hadn’t occurred to me - wonder if anyone's encountered such an addiction before? |  |

One thing I haven’t seen mentioned much is the fan who directly messaged Wes (on instsgram?) to say he was playing rubbish and needed to do better. I think it was a screenshot of that which led Burns Sr. calling out frimmers.
I hope the insta bloke is not on here. Cannot begin to comprehend directly messaging one of your own players to tell them they’re playing s5it. That’s as worse as frimmers’ sustained anti-Burns nonsense |  |

It wasn’t even a direct message, was a comment under a picture Wes posted. (Just of him in action in Saturday, with no caption) [Post edited 12 Feb 2024 21:35]

I’ve had a long term addiction to posting solely posts of a very serious nature. I should lighten up, I guess. |  |

I mentioned earlier, a lot of the people calling for others to 'be nice', then took the opportunity to lay into Frimmers big time.
I dont agree with everything Frimmers says, but he probably gets more abuse on this forum than anyone. Its all a bit hypocritical by many.
I also suspect that a number of posters on here will have directed / alerted Burns Sr to some of Frimmers' posts just to stoke up the situation. No idea why else he would be frequenting TWTD. I bet Wes is behind his Dad deleting his Twitter account.
Its not been suggested that any of Frimmers comments were hateful. Its all been taken way out of context.
Well done for speaking up. |  |

Exchanged messages with David today and he bears TWTD no ill will or blame, and none towards Frimmers for that matter. I've emailed FB but not heard back yet. | | | |

A lot of assumptions there fella.
Why would you assume families of ITFC players wouldn't frequent the biggest independent ITFC fans site? Phil has said many times he wants this place to be welcoming to everyone.
Let's not make Frimmers out to be some sort of martyr here. He got more grief than anyone else for a reason. And he revelled in it.
He wasn't the first and he won't be the last to take things too far and come unstuck. | |

Yeah let's call it a sabbatical! I did have an alt login to be fair but I very rarely used it. To be honest, I kind of lost interest in town and footie for a few years. Got into playing guitar and stuff. When the Evans era ended and we started picking up again, my interest in Town was rekindled | |

Would’ve never even have crossed my mind to do something like that.
I have a life, surprisingly.

Why would players' families come here?
We come here for gossip / transfer rumours etc, they know what's going on from the inside.
I know I wouldnt go to a fans forum if my son was playing for a club. Happy to agree to differ.
I never said Frimmers was innocent, I just think he got, and still gets more than his fair share of abuse. [Post edited 12 Feb 2024 22:11]
