Ditto that experience the year before when we thrashed Fulham. The more goals we scored, the more the non playing players seemed to find fascinating on their phones.At our first home game last season against Nottingham Forest my grandson was one the mascots. Instead of being in my usual seat in the West Upper part of the mascot package was to sit behind the players dugout. In this case the Forest team's. For practically the whole game some, if not all, their players were on their mobiles. I must admit it surprised me as well.
I think some of the on field players were on their phones too.
I think some people are being a bit over sensitive about this. Although it is certainly unprofessional for a player from the opposing team to be tweeting during a match, having read it I don't think the content of the tweet is really that much to get upset about and I think there's a bit of an over reaction going on. When I read it after reading the reports I thought "is that it?" It doesn't come across as rubbing Dunk's face in it and I'd be surprised if he was remotely affected by it. On the contrary he may even be feeling slightly embarrassed that people are getting so sensitive on his behalf as it almost implies that he needs protecting from the "big bully" and Dunk would certainly not appreciate being portrayed as some kind of "victim", especially with regards to something as innocuous as this. I don't think the tweet was funny, it was unprofessional but I certainly don't think its content is anything to get that upset about.
I think Mendy might even be feeling under pressure to be "funny" on twitter because even before that tweet it seems he was getting a bit of a reputation for his tweets. And it seems he is even capable of taking the piss out of himself as the tweet in this report demonstrates which although not as hilarious as the report suggests is mildly amusing...

Mendy, what were you thinking?
We at NSC always lead by example.
Whatever next? You’ll have us dissing a former or current player, because they can’t kick straight or catch a ball, let’s hope we never see that day.
OH!

Not crying about it by any means - it was more to highlight my surprise that subs are actively on their mobiles in the dug out during a game and this is apparently allowed my Managers !

Mildly amusing we can have a debate about something as soft as this when you remember Franny Lee sent off for fighting or a Ron Harris tackle.

He was injured & at home watching on TV, not on the bench.
Different times, but Franny Lee and Norman Hunter really went for it fighting wise, none of this 'hold me back' stuff.

Silly old bat
God I hate that word "banter." And people who say "bantz" .......
......which makes it even less of a story than it already is. Imagine how much further this story might have got out of hand if Stockdale had still been playing for us and it was him who was in goal at the time. It would have escalated into a Twitter war.
I remember Jake Humphrey taking the pi** out of us as a tinpot club a few years back - the bloke is a complete w*******r.

This. That young man needs to have a look at himself.
As for Dunk...I was watching the game with a bunch of West Ham in Essex. I was LITERALLY just telling them that Dunk is liable to do something mad like hack down a city player in the box or score a worldly OG when...right on schedule he rises like a spawning salmon and nods in a cracker...they now call me "nickstradamus"..twats.

It is fixtures.
Anyway, we will all have to man up a bit, I expect. Any slip will be all over everywhere because the PL is the most parasited thing in sport, with a worm ready to wiggle into anything nourishing, in the hope of a metamorphosis into something . . . richer.
