Reece James

[Richard P]

So glad I don’t do social media. This place is the nearest I get to it. Maybe promote our great leaders on here to deal with these idiots, they get rid of people on here quick enough.

I think maybe our internet suppliers could put pressure on these sites by blocking offenders using them. There must be ways of doing this?

I was reading Utd's Black Players are getting it too and saw also a paper article about 14 year old Nazis in England planning terror attacks.

It makes you wonder if these are disturbed kids rather than adults, not that should be an excuse yet just goes to show how complicated things might be.

Ive thought about this a bit. Certain words should be banned, certainly on public forums. Limits on who can send messages to verified accounts, automatic bans for certain words being used. There will be a data science team that can build a system that automatically understands when racism is happening and automatically IP block.

But I only hear nonsense solutions from authorities who don't understand what tech companies can and can't do. 

Hard to distinguish intent and context with computer which require human interpretation which make it difficult.

Big tech needs to be dismantled.

For a decent data science team it's not that hard. And it's getting easier. 

Sometimes mistakes will be made. But I'm talking about when someone is directing messages at a person they don't know. If I send Reece James (or any verified celebrity) a message on social media, I'm not going to use negative words and a monkey emoji. I'm not going to use racial language. 

Someone who does, should be blocked from sending any messages and the message should be hidden before Reece James can see it. The poster can review that ban when mistakes are made and it can be reviewed by a human. 

Test it, improve it, keep testing it, keep improving it. But right now they aren't even trying this which I find baffling.

Nope! They just need to do a better job with moderating their platforms

Context is irrelevant when it comes to racist abuse, and the intent of a racist is always racist.  Doesn't need any interpretation..

I think the point he was trying to make was if you were to put a flat ban of the N word for example pretty much every black rapper would be banned within 5 minutes.

Saints lad who get sent off inside 2 minutes yesterday Jankewitz the latest to receive social media racist abuse.

The authorities should get these company's to get their houses in order or make them shut down.

Why has it become even more rife over the past couple years? I don't remember hearing about the abuse as often. I don't know if any of you know about Rory Jennings who used to be on Chelseafantv (forget the name) and he spoke about Lampard getting sacked. He gave his opinion that it was a disgrace and wrong, but received abuse from fans. Some were even abusing his wife and baby daughter. Some people are utter weirdos. They need mental checks to be honest. People should be able to have an opinion without receiving abuse.

Without getting too political, it comes about because the racists and bigots have become emboldened by the right-wing xenophobia and bigotry of the likes of Farage, Trump, Johnson, Gove at al.

Supported by the majority of the british press, these racists have promoted a non-stop tirade of anti-foreigner propaganda and that has made all of the racists feel able to be more open

Don't get me wrong, there has always been a racist element in british society, it's now become more acceptable to show it in public.  Previously, these people mostly expressed their views with friends and like-minded bigots, but now they see their own government and newpapers expressing the same or worse views and they think it's OK for them to do it.  It's why we are in this brexit sh*tshow, bigots voted to get rid of brown people.

To be honest it's the members here on the forum reporting it quickly that keeps it clean.

Thought he was brilliant tonight.

 

[Ballack & Blu]

He is silky smooth, pacy, got a great footballing head, and built like a Rugby union centre, immense power and strength..

 

[big blue]

Im a massive fan of James, and by no means was he the only one tonight, but the amount of times he turned down a forward pass today was ridiculous. Just looked scared of giving the ball away. Not a bad game, but when we have seen how effective CHO can be there, he needs to be a bit more positive in possession.

I only saw the second half yet thought it was pointless having CHO and James on the right they kept passing back and forth and not creating much.

Fortunately after the penalty we were able to hang on for 2-1, not pretty just enough.

TBF credit to Sheffield they kept knocking on the door we were just able to keep them out.

when he had first come he was able to get to the byline a lot.. for some reason dont see that happening a lot now.. teams are tighter and quicker out to him.. On another note i wonder how he would be like in the middle of the pitch for us in a different formation.. everytime he drifts in.. he looks a natural there.. strength, technique vision, and a good long distance shot on him..

Out of our backline it was only Azpilicueta who was getting the ball forward. 

Azpilicueta and Kovacic that actually wanted to pick our forwards out from deep. Reece surprises me the most because we've seen some of his passing and crossing, you would think he would have a keen eye and be eager to take the risks. So far I've actually not been that impressed with James at RWB myself. Although we've only seen him there twice now under Tuchel, so I'll give it time until I really judge, but if I had to judge on our last 4 games I would put CHO there, honestly...

Yeah infact he has been playing so far up the pitch that its putting a lot of pressure on Azpi to find him with inch perfect passes.. maybe he needs to mix-it up a little bit . He needs to positionally recognize when the team is under pressure and come closer to the byline even if Tuchel has instructed him to push right upfront as part of the attacking 5. Tuchel cant coach his every move- again i think he will learn more about this position as he plays more and also watches some of the great wing backs of the modern era..

This lad potentially has everything, the trouble is it seems to come to easy to him which makes him look a bit sluggish at times (completely different player but David Luiz is a bit like this) 
His ball control is fantastic and his delivery superb but as some have stated he needs to take more risks with an early pass or cross instead of the safety first backwards ball. Early in the season his early first time crosses were causing havoc though we rarely got anyone on the end of them. 
I could possibly see him moving infield to more a more central midfield roll as he gets older or then again the right of a back 3 he’s that versatile.

Twitter have just said that people using monkeys and bananas etc on tweets doesn't breech their policy and wont be stopped.....I mean f**king hell...
