Not for me Clive: "You're not fit to wear the shirt!" (Player abuse)

from Man Marking · host manmarkingpodcast

"You're not fit to wear the shirt!" We've all heard the chant, or been found singing it once or twice, but as football fans, do ever think about what it must feel like to hear it as a player? We discuss player abuse, from a burning effigy of David Beckham, to Granit Xhaka being booed off the pitch, and the modern day iteration of abuse taking place on social media.  Can we have football without abuse? It's an important question to ask when considering the mental health of footballers.  You can find us on Twitter @marking_man and don't forget to use the hashtag #WheresTheTalkingLads  If you have been affected by any of the themes discussed in today's episode, we have listed some organisations below who are there if you need to talk: Samaritans  Call 116 132 for free https://www.samaritans.org/ Papyrus UK Call 0800 068 41 41 Papyrus Website CALM ZONE 0800 58 58 58 https://www.thecalmzone.net/help/helpline/
