And my issue is with people who criticize shit or shit on him for reasons unrelated to anything that happens on the pitch. I agree that he isnt good enough, though am fine with him being squad players. Funny you mention the likes of cleverley and Welbeck. Add Darren Gibson and others like that. All players Sir Alex loved having in his squad. Theres value in having them around, hard workers who love the club.
0.012% (or the old men yells at cloud thread)
- Thread starter Heardy
- Start date
The good old days when plays did honourable things like let drinking affect their football and deliberately injure other players. Model pros back then.
Oh please. Lingard is getting slagged because he is utter shxt and should not be playing at a club like MUFC. Rashford is getting slagged because he seems to have made Lingard his role model. They are getting what they deserve.
I assumed 0.012% was the alcohol level.
I once got slaughtered on this forum for suggesting that Rashford wasn't as good as Mbappe.
Good times.
Again... who cares? He has a clothing brand. He likes fashion and whatever. It literally has nothing to do with anything.
In fairness, making it as a professional footballer is an incredible achievement in itself and noone criticising from the stands could do better than Rashford and Lingard currently are- so there is that angle.
That said, it's Arseholish behaviour for anyone to be boasting about the achievement, nevermind after underachieving by finishing 6th, winning no cups and winning just 2 of the last 12 games for a club like Manchester United while playing as poorly as they did.

Show me the posts please regarding this.
100%.
I've made single post sticking up for Becks here after he was slated by Twigs, unfairly.
I'm with harams, players, be it Beckham, Lingard, Hazard, Griezmann can do whatever the hell they like off the pitch if they perform on it. Sadly though they will be eaten alive when acting like Superstars but not playing anything like, that's just how it is, especially in the social media age.
I personally can't for the life of me understand when any footballer allows comments on his/her social media, they must be complete suckers for psychological punishment.

#jlingzmuseWhat makes you say that?
Nail on the head.
Sir Alex isn’t around. He got more out of average players and Lingard certainly isn’t a squad player at the moment. He plays every game and does nothing, so what’s the use of him in the squad? May as well give that spot to a reserve player.
Whole point of being a squad player is contributing. Lingard doesn’t do that as a starter, so hows he going to do with even less minutes?
I don't get the criticism both are getting for their off field antics.
They are young people(in global scheme of things Lingard is too), earning tons of cash. You can mock them, but it's hardly surprising they make some bad clothing choices.
I doubt if Lingard didn't have own brand would make him somehow better footballer. It is what it is.

If George Clooney gets 20-million quid for a crap movie, I doubt he's plagued by hundreds of twats tweeting 'I spent my hard-earned money on Batman F*cks Off & Then Returns Again, Clooney!!! So quit flogging shit coffee and hanging out with Matt Damon - he's a bad influence...#you old c*nt.'
So, in short, most famous people don't 'deserve it'.
He's a premier league player playing for Manchester United. He's already in the top 1% of the world at what he does. How he dresses... who cares? People have their own individual fashion sense. It has absolutely nothing to do with your status. Posting stories on Instagram? I post stories and pictures on snapchat and Instagram. Who gives a feck. Its social media. He's posting pictures of himself living the dream. Hating on shit like that isn't "outdated thinking", it was never even acceptable. You're literally basically saying football results decide when a player is allowed to be happy and share that with others.
What is it specifically about Lingard that’s the unprofessional. Some examples would be nice, too.
Has anyone bothered to point out that the OP is wrong? Neither Lingard nor Rashford has 0.012% posted on their Instagram feeds. So if they are “boasting” it’s pretty fecking subtle!
There's a time and place to big yourself up. When you and your team are under performing - it's not that time. Dolts, the pair of them. I think this childish culture at the club can do with toning down. Everyone needs to get their heads down and set an example. I usually don't care about off the pitch shenanigans, but sometimes it has to be reigned in.
Darn.Mate I'm 23 and can't stand Lingard. I've got time for Rashford but of late, the pair of them have been shite and need to stay away from social media. It's not rocket science to expect backlash after such a mediocre season when posting like you're the bollocks.
Also when that post symbolises everything that is wrong with Man Utd these days then it's time to be concerned about the direction the club is heading.
Bunch of losers clinging on to their money and fame to make up for their lack of ability. Isn't that what Manchester United has become? Only interested in raking in the money and sponsorships whilst we struggle to even be relevant year on year.
Can people not see the parallels between the two?
Same here (except I'm 25). Both of them haven't performed so posts like these will only anger fans and rightly so.
It’s on their story.
Why do you care, mate? Season is over anyway, posting crap on social media doesn't really have any relation to it whatsoever.
Most footballers aren't that bright bunch of individuals. I can understand slating them on their performance on the pitch, but really who cares what they do on SM?
Pointing out that Lingard is shit is now seen as being cantankerous?
Huh.
Huh.
Who has said that?
Well said ! Errr jess can you send me a signed shirt , thanks.
They are frankly coming across as a double act, dumb and dumber asking for ridicule. You would think the way the season played out they would have the sense to keep quiet and come back with a point to prove. How Rashford stayed in the team and Lingards defiance and pride of being a bang average footballer really sums the club up. As Neville said, theres nothing to like about this group
I'm not arsed really... just providing another view point to explain why fans are giving them shit. It's understandable.
BTW - I interpreted their point as that to make it to where they are today they have had to be incredibly talented and outwork so many other players. You don’t get to be an England player unless you sacrifice parts of your social life for hard work and graft. Despite all this hard work and graft we have fans who give us shit for turning up to a charity event in clothes we don’t like.
I see it as a well deserved pop at those vitriolic fans who contribute nothing to the club.

Wow fans are angry because 2 footballers made a simple post after getting shit loads of abuse for months and in Lingard case years. Shame they are not robots.
You don’t need to say it, read the thread back.
I don't follow
That's a bizarre way to deconstruct what I said. Well done.
I don't think that anybody deserves abuse unless they are abusive themselves. I was just pointing out that, if you release a clothing brand to sell, you have to accept some criticism of it. I wouldn't expect anyone to criticise Mourinho's singing voice normally, but if he released an album of love ballads, he would be inviting people to form an opinion on it, and I'm sure some of those opinions would be negative. Would you find that so outrageous?

I don't think @Raoul would look back on those opinions too fondly now.
Edit: Oh and @Santoryo as well.

How much of their pay they actually deserve.
