Can we boo his name announcement when we play West Ham? Or would that be too much? I'd sooner boo him than Arnie. At least Arnie contributed something.

I'd love to see all of those on the pitch, instead of this spineless bunch of wasters Hughes has brought in. More misty eyed nostalgic bollocks You do realise they’ve were all part of the team that regularly got battered last season yeah ? I do, but I can't remember them parting like the red sea and standing watching as the opposition scored.

Hasn't this been taken completely out of context? If it was after the game then why shouldn't he wish Spurs well considering he previously played for them and many of the Spurs players will be his friends. If he'd done it before the game it would be an entirely different matter. As for him liking that tweet, that too was after the game. OS. Finally the voice of reason! Christ on a bike - do stuff like his privately FFS!? The bloke's a tool.

This thread is all sorts of embarrassing. More embarrassing than liking a post that says, 'great to get back to winning ways today'. At the very, very least he is an absolute dumb cunt.

I think you’d best take a look at the threads after some of those games mate and see the fans reaction to them Better still have a ganders at the goals again

At the end of the day he's a Stoke player that hasn't got off to the best start
Liking a post by one of your ex teammates about being happy they've just fucked us 5-1 is bad taste
We paid £18m for his services, we just got battered and embarrassed while showing no fight or passion, at that point your common sense should kick in and think "oh better not like social media posts about my old team sticking it to my current employers"

With the benefit of hindsight, sure, he could of been more sensitive to the situation, but certainly doesn't warrant the abuse on this thread, towards him.

The problem isn't one of context though - its the more slippery problem of PR. If the tables were reversed and we'd just shafted Spurs 1-5 do you think Son would have posted the same sort of message and liked a post by another Stoke player? Of course not because the PR team at Spurs would have his bollocks for dinner for breaking the "party line". Its not context its the action of doing it which makes it a PR disaster for him - he should get a dressing down for it because if it isn't prohibited by club rules to interact on social media following a game then it bloody should be for purely PR reasons. Besides the commercial/newsworthy aspects of this it really doesn't show team spirit which is something we're desperately lacking at the moment and something that the whole squad should be very focused on; especially following a heavy defeat.

Well, just to point out the obvious, I'm not a Premier League 'footballer' followed by thousands of fans and earning a massive salary? Interestingly though, due to the nature of my job/workplace, it's in my contract that I have to be very careful what bollocks I spout on social media. if he wants to express his pleasure at his old teammates giving his new ones a right dicking (again), then do it by text, email, private message or phone call?

I don't really give a fuck what he posts on social media. Now being slow of foot and of thought and being fairly shit in the air now that's a dangerous combination for a centre back.

If he'd liked a post by Winks about beating any other team nobody would give a toss What do you think Spurs fans would say if the score was reversed and Winks liked a Wimmer post about us smashing them 5-1? He'd be torn apart

His job and salary (status in other words) are everything to do with it Franklin. And the whole point I was trying to make was the insensitive timing of his tweets? Travel down to Wembley and thrash Spurs 5-1, by all means give your old teammates a hug and tweet hard luck messages. Do it when you've just been rolled over, there are rumours of the manager resigning and the team are being abused at the railway station and you're just being a tackless idiot?

Whilst I completely agree that it was insensitive, sadly you're mistaken about the rules on social media in contracts, its a very common thing these days and if Stoke don't have any social media guidelines in their employee contracts then I'd be very very surprised. Every company (bluechip/large/small/charity/other) I've worked with over the last 5 years providing media training has very specific social media responsibility clauses in their employee contracts and its a breach of those clauses often resulting in formal warnings for minor breaches and a possible P45 for breaking them in a very serious manner. (this is all aside from the issue of personal attacks either on this thread or twitter which are separate from the "business case" of social media usage.)

People saying this is an over reaction, really? Just send him a fucking text, give him a call, go around his house and suck him off I couldn't give a shit. Just don't rub the fans faces in it after wasting time and money on a five goal drubbing. Tosser

If this was all we had to be worried about it would not concern me too much then. Trouble is it is not and there needs to be some positive action by the owners who are in danger of "fiddling while Rome is burning"

Oh, yes, I know a lot of business have rules regarding social media, but you cannot ban an employee from using it, that would be stopping free speech. I know lots of people (me included) use the caveat "All views here are my own". I see lots of footballers commenting on social media, before and after games. I just think Wimmer was insensitive, nothing more.
