Jlingz has a puppy called rashy
I’m 26. I can assure you that what Lingard is doing is weird. He’s a total bellend.In football terms not so young, still a young man. Fair enough if he was a 50 year old bloke dressed like that and making videos like that in Miami but age wise it’s not that weird at all. I agree he is an irritant though.
You do realise that most of the stuff he does now is aimed at folk like yourself because he knows for some strange reason it twists your melon, and if I was him getting so much grief for just acting the goat occasionally, I'd do exactly the same.I’m 26.

Again, I’m going to caveat that by saying that I’m separating my opinion of him as a footballer and a lad entirely. As some people seem to think that everybody is blinded by their dislike of him as a player. I’m not. He’s just a twat. My mates (and I) are twats in a different right... but not like Lingard. He’s about as funny as a kick in the balls.
Hardly. I think the way Pogba used it recently is positive and how person who is supposed to be a role model should conduct himself. Lingard on the other hand just uses it to show off how much of a bellend he is by bigging himself up after a shite season. There is a difference.That's what it seems like. Because people like Scholes and Neville moan about social media some fans have seemingly decided that anyone who uses it is a twat.

Not a chance. That’s his banter. Which is fine. Lots of lads like him go on like that on Snapchat and Instagram. Lingard attracts more attention because he happens to be a (and I’m talking wider here) very good footballer playing for Manchester United. He isn’t trying to wind anybody up. He’s just a bit of knob.You do realise that most of the stuff he does now is aimed at folk like yourself because he knows for some strange reason it twists your melon, and if I was him getting so much grief for just acting the goat occasionally, I'd do exactly the same.
I don't think anyone would give a shit if Man United were winning things.Why the feck are people criticizing Lingard and Rashy for this! People really need to understand that they are people as well, just like us. They have rights to live life and enjoy and dance and sing and do stupid stuff. It might be immature and childish but you cant expect them to be in gym during holidays. If they do, it's great but if they don't it shouldn't be a stick to beat them with.
It's like us, non- footballers. We're allowed to take holidays and do stupid stuff. What we do in our free time is our business as long as our actions don't lead to the company's image (for which we're working for) getting tarnished. If I am working on my holidays, that's great, but you don't get sacked by your firm, or punished by your firm for not working on your holidays, do you?
Additionally, they aren't drinking or smoking- stuff that most, if not all, players were involved in a decade or two earlier. As long as they turn up for pre season in acceptable physical conditions, the club, the coaching staff and least importantly the fans should have no problems.
I think that's probably true.I don't think anyone would give a shit if Man United were winning things.
Nobody is saying Lingard can't be silly and fart about with Rashford in their private time. It's just a bit ill-advised of him to film it and then post it online in my opinion.
Old farts have been rolling their eyes at what kids do for ever and it will happen forever. It's the natural order of things! Lingard will be doing it himself when he is old (which is in about 4 years).I think that's probably true.
But I would imagine that their Social Media audience is mainly the kids who want to see it.
It's a bit rich for moany middle-aged men to complain about things that they have to click play on to see re-posted onto an internet forum that has nothing to do with the original format. They're not the target demographic nor are they the intended audience. Caftards have to go out of their way to watch something regurgitated on a secondary platform in order to whinge about it. Doesn't make sense to me.
It also doesn't make sense to complain about somebody else's sense of humour. Some people like Stewart Lee, some people like Chris Rock, some people like Harry Hill. Who gives a feck? Being puerile on camera is just what some people do. This kind of thing is all over Youtube for a start. It's what constitutes humour these days.
Basically. People used to moan about Beckham and Ronaldo for not acting like the stereotypes 50-something pundits had of what footballers should be like. This is the same. If Lingard or Pogba had just had a good season, we wouldn't care or we'd be finding their posts funny. Instead, their every post is proof of them being a "bellend".Lets be honest, we wouldn't give a shit if he was a decent player.
Is that the narrative being pushed now? It’s all just an act?You do realise that most of the stuff he does now is aimed at folk like yourself because he knows for some strange reason it twists your melon, and if I was him getting so much grief for just acting the goat occasionally, I'd do exactly the same.
I’m a similar age to Lingard. The kid is cringey as feck let’s be honest. He’s got the sense of humour of a nine year old. Doesn’t particularly bother me as I don’t use social media, but he would do my head in if I worked with him regularly.Those posts aren't intended to be viewed on the Caf by a bunch of old men.
You'd might as well be complaining about their Tinder profiles.
I wish they could play football like RooneyThey are crazy
Still much better to do things like this than the Rooney drinking and smoking escapades during holidays for example.
I'm of the same generation as those two, I still think it's majorly cringe so I don't think it's a generational thing. If they were teenagers I'd get it but these are grown men, especially Lingard.Those posts aren't intended to be viewed on the Caf by a bunch of old men.
You'd might as well be complaining about their Tinder profiles being reposted here. It's a different medium, for a different audience, with a different target sensibility.
I’d rather they dropped acid and played half as good as Rooney for a start.They are crazy

There’s literally no sensibility in repeating “beans” like a 10 year old on ritalin and posting this waste of digital space online.Those posts aren't intended to be viewed on the Caf by a bunch of old men.

It's part of the digital age. It's stupid. But that's the way it is. But it is telling that the tomfoolery on display is on the level of clowns that dropped out of school and then went on to not even be able to hold a blue collar job because they lacked the standard discipline and humbleness to work for a living.I’d rather they dropped acid and played half as good as Rooney for a start.

Spot on. I don't get the logic behind it really. You know you're going to get the backlash so why do it? What's the point? Just be a bit more self aware.I don't think anyone would give a shit if Man United were winning things.
Nobody is saying Lingard can't be silly and fart about with Rashford in their private time. It's just a bit ill-advised of him to film it and then post it online in my opinion.
Even then, it makes 0 sense to criticize a couple of young people in the prime of their lives for enjoying their life! Its tough to find people who remain happy, if they can find happiness in this, why create a noise for this.I don't think anyone would give a shit if Man United were winning things.

It's so pathetic you have to laugh
Precisely.I'll say it again. Lingard is not a young man. He's not a boy just emerging into this world of millions and fame. He's a 26 year old man. A fully fledged adult.
He's a complete imbecile and while many may argue that what guys do off pitch has no bearing on the results, the issue is that the results should have a bearing on whats done off pitch or at least how it's presented.
If he doesn't get that this stuff just alienates an already frustrated or livid fan base who thinks most aren't fit to be at the club, he needs somebody to pull him aside and have a word.
Lingard is basically the Manchester United version of Jimmy Bullard.
This is a completely fair comment.Not a chance. That’s his banter. Which is fine. Lots of lads like him go on like that on Snapchat and Instagram. Lingard attracts more attention because he happens to be a (and I’m talking wider here) very good footballer playing for Manchester United. He isn’t trying to wind anybody up.

Lingard wishes he had half the character that Bullard has, Lingard is the Manchester United version of Paris Hilton, only worse and more shallow.Lingard is basically the Manchester United version of Jimmy Bullard.
Yeah - you're right.Even then, it makes 0 sense to criticize a couple of young people in the prime of their lives for enjoying their life! Its tough to find people who remain happy, if they can find happiness in this, why create a noise for this.
Is anyone expecting that? Really?Expecting players to be miserable all summer because the season wasn't much to write home about is absurd.
Whether they genuinely expect it is not for me to say, but yes - people do criticize Lingard specifically for posting stupid videos on social media after having had a stinker of a season. There are several posts in this very thread expressing that view.Is anyone expecting that? Really?
For me the worst part of this video is the glasses and that he's wearing them indoors.
I had to watch it with the sound off, it was too much.For me the worst part of this video is the glasses and that he's wearing them indoors.
Yeah but, thats not people expecting them to be miserable, its people critising them for coming across as bellends.Whether they genuinely expect it is not for me to say, but yes - people do criticize Lingard specifically for posting stupid videos on social media after having had a stinker of a season.

He's taking the piss out of honest fans with his immature nonsense, etc.
I maintain that this is unreasonable. McTominay goes to boot camp, Lingz n' Beanz makes puerile videos - I know what I personally have the greater respect for, but that's beside the point. They're not on the job, how they get their kicks isn't any of my business at the end of the day.
Yeah, I watched half of it again and may have changed my mind.I had to watch it with the sound off, it was too much.
