Some of that stuff around Yusuf was horrid. My son told me that Yusuf is not now going ahead with his blog chatting with the players due to horrible abuse he has been receiving. Absolutely terrible that people can get away with abusing someone with no consequences 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I want the book thrown at them. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely terrible that people can get away with abusing someone with no consequences Yeah, he was gonna interview the players and now he's decided against it, at least for the time being. Bolasie was gonna be the first one interviewed and he's contacted Yusuf on Twitter too. This isn't the first time he's dealt with crap from our own fanbase either. The lad isn't from the Boro but continues to champion the club and the town despite all the abuse he gets and some think they're more worthy of the position he's been given than others. Why that even matters to these people, I'll never know. It should be a positive moment, big fan of the club gets to speak to the players. I'd love it if @SmogDane got to interview the players, it would be class. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Uwe 3,545 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Re Yusuf Can anyone reach out to him on social media and invite him here on oneBoro. It may well be a place he feels safer and continue to champion the club from a more mature platform 6 Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,064 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Sure Someone mentioned they spoke to him on FMTTM a while ago, so should be easy to do if anyone posts there Link to post Share on other sites
RiseAgainst 3,793 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I'd love it if Yusuf came on here and became part of the OB community - despite moob photos and arguments about Extinction Rebellion, it's a pretty safe space here. It's like the Sunday Times of Boro forums, whereas FMTTM is the Mirror, and CoB is the Daily Mail comments section on the day the moderators are all off sick. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites

DurhamRed 2,047 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Such a shame the club finally trying to be abit more media aware allowing a fan to come interview the players would of been great. Yet some sad individual has to go tarnish it 1 Link to post Share on other sites
