Lingard could save a baby from a burning house and people like you would be angry at him. It's honestly embarrassing that you get wound up by some fecking Instagram posts. Same for the losers on here who give out about what him.or Rashford is wearing.

They haven't killed anyone for God's sake.
Would be very convenient for him to be passing a burning building with a kid just happening to be inside. I think he started the fire, realised there was no kid inside so stole a kid and put them inside so he could wash his social media profile.

Youre the only angry one here, brobeans. Im just saying Im not gonna suck someones dick for using kids for self promotion. You do you though.
What has Lingard done to you to make you so angry with him? Did he do something as heinous as give you free stuff too?

Jesse didn't even post it. It was the club thanking him for a brilliant gesture. Stop being such an arsehole and grow the feck up.

Yeah, one literally killed someone. One posts videos on Instagram, what a monster.
You should check your reading comprehension mate.

Alonso killed someone in a DUI. 60,000 fine and a disqualification. I can see why he gets a free pass from criticism while Jesse occasionally acting a pratt doesn't
So I can't be frustrated with Lingard because some other footballer of a club I don't like committed manslaughter and the league continued to let him play?

That's such a back asswards defense. I guess we should not be so hard on that school shooter that murdered dozens of kids because Hitler committed a mass genocide.

^ that. That's how dumb yours and Nick's logic is. Fecking crazy. I don't even understand how Alonso came into this. Christ it's a bunch of pedantic morons in here.

and you walk about with camera on at all times waiting for something "spontaneous" to happen? I guess apple got their battery shit sorted out then. Good for them.
Not quite. I take it out when I see a famous football player talking to the team I coach, though.

I did buy a new battery recently mind.

Can't wait for peope to spin this into a negative.
"JESSE LINGARD SPENDS TIME NOT TRAINING, BENCH HIM" - Caf

Seriously though, Jesse obviously has a good heart, this is a wonderful gesture on his behalf.

I dont know, does it? I can see its a nice thing, but its to wash his social media profile. So while I can say its a nice thing, it doesnt change who he is and what hes about, IMO.
That's not just limited to charities and rich people. Not a single person on earth does it for any reason other than to make themselves feel good.

I hear this 'truth' all the time...from people who are selfish & self-absorbed at heart.

I dont know about negative, but its not like its a selfless gesture. Its your typical run of the mill "look at me, Im helping out the poor folks" stuff most "celebs" do. You dont think its funny that theres always someone there with a camera for all these selfless acts of kindness?
World famous professional footballer, coming to a small club. "Nobody take pictures lads, that's not the done thing"

This is my favorite comment in the entire universe, for all the wrong reasons.

Did you even see who posted this?:

Whalley Range afc@WRAFC1stTeam
Big surprise tonight as @JesseLingard came down to the ground with coats, T’s and much more needed items for the team. Ready to start the new season. Unbelievable gesture

Not Jesse. Literally the club he donated to.

You know, its time to step out of the clownmobile when you manage to find it in yourself to sport a hissyfit over something positive happening. It's like you sit and stew in your righteous misery and just jump at the chance to jump at someone who is wildly more successful in life at you because that's the only way you can possibly lash out at someone like that.

In fact, why are you not down at the soup kitchen serving homeless people instead of sitting here spewing this nonsense over some goddamn donations like a shrieking harpy who's not had his bottom pampered today by the traveling silver gorilla handing out trillion pound bills to the most deserving of men, yourself? Seriously, what about this entire sitaution could possibly warrant you saying another other than "That was nice of him".

The fact that some people have the gall to be upset that a grown ass man has the audacity to promote their own brand to their followers is a topic in itself I just can't bring myself to get into right now, but for the love of everything grow up.

Jesse Lingard the monster has made a retweet to his 1.5 million twitter followers, and has posted a simple image in his instagram story to his 6.5 million followers. Do you know who dreams of promotion like that? Whalley Range AFC. They can't dream to afford exposure like that, to companies to buy anything like that it costs thousands. This is a tiny local club who can barely afford shirts.

The story here is not that Jesse Lingard did something nice to someone. It's that a tiny football club were visited by someone they all wish they could be, a successful player in one of the worlds biggest clubs, who helped them out with some kit, and gave them invaluable online exposure. For a lot of the players this is one of the hightlight of their football career, to meet someone they watch on TV, to many from their favorite team. He didnt HAVE to do this, he did this because he wanted to. The club thanked him, Jesse gave them more exposure than they would have dreamed of.

And here you sit, you self rigtheous donkey in your justice palace and cast shame on the guy for doing the community some good. You know what, go out the door and help some guy with a chore instead of contributing to the detriment of society. Or better yet, head down to Whalley Range AFC and volounteer to wash their new kit. You can even do it without posting about it online. Like someone who is really good at breaking out of prisons said: Be the change you want to be in the world. Donkey.

Good work from Jesse, our fans will continue to hate and criticise him irrespective of what he does but i'm surprised to see so many attacking this - bizarre.

Ever seen one of his "impromptu kick abouts with random kids on the streets"? Funny how all those videos dont start after the kick about, huh.
Agreed, it would be impossible for anyone to recognise him without seeing him play some footy first.

Everyone is selfish and self absorbed. The difference is that some are honest and others deny this for a false sense of virtue.
That's merely an attitude, not a truth.

Whalley Range sounds like the title of Lingard's headshot collection.

“Instead of spending his time distracted, donating gifts and doing fairly charitable events, he should be practicing and focusing on his football because he is shite.”

or

“Easy to donate when you’re earning £120k per week for being shit at football.”

or

“Probably forced to attend by the club for good PR after his negative social media activity”

or anything else really!

So when Juan Mata gives toys to kids is that self-promotion? When United take presents to kids in hospital is that self-promotion, or only when Jesse does it?

Another media stunt on top of it all, the self promoting man-child having the gall to tweet support to Tammy Abraham. He could have done it in person, a call or text but, nooooo he did it on a tweet.

I just don't get some, it's an otherwise nice story. If you don't like him all that much, just move on to his performance thread and get your frustrations out in there talking about his football. No need to try twist this into something ugly.

We can't know Jesse's motivation, so guessing is silly...much like when I blamed Rooney for line-up leaks and 9/11.
