Agreed. Stupid on his part, but the OTT - almost suicidal - reaction of a section of our fans does not help things.
As you say, it would be a lot easier if footballers were banned from social media. Posting something like that, knowing the fans of the club you play for will read it, is just stupid. Maybe he's off in the summer so doesn't particularly care anyway. Unfortunately the respect we all feel we are owed as football fans has, in the main, gone from the game. The gap between the players and the fans in modern day football is wider than ever.
Completely agree with the bit in bold.
But as for VLP - I don't like how OTT things are with football TBH, but things like this DO piss me off. They are completely unnecessary and he can have no complaints if he receives abuse from supporters for it. I'm sure it doesn't help matters, but there's only one person to blame for it - VLP himself. He's put himself in that position.
