Whoops – sorry DG so we’ll say it for you!

|

dICKSIEDAFTWell having got caught out by a fake David Gold account we’ll say it for him: “The people who drove Julian Dicks off Twitter are indeed ‘morons’ who should take their support elsewhere.”

We apologise to DG for mistakenly not noticing that account we quoted him on was not accompanied by a tick to show that it was real.

However, that only serves to help us understand why Dicksy has decided to leave the social networking operation.

Our story has since been taken down.

Julian who always been accessible (as shown right) and answered every question  before reportedly being driven off by some pretty sarcastic remarks.

Given the number of requests he received to support various charitable efforts along with inquries for freebies, he has apparently decided to call it a day.

Those who have driven the Irons hero off  have done everybody who followed him a huge disservice.

The response to us making a mistake in quoting a fake DG received a pretty typical response and was greeted with gleeful  lols and delighted: “You got it wrong” finger-pointing comments.”

It’s not a problem to us and if it gave a few people a laugh GREAT!

However, that a club legend has had enough and been  driven off  because of abuse from trolls is pretty sad and we understand completely why he has deactivated his account.

The majority of Twitter followers are great and use it as it should be used but there’s some -as demonstrated here – who possess a mentality which 99 per cent of people wouldn’t entertain in the real world so why let them into your living room via a keyboard.

We understand the reasons Dicksy – you have bigger fish to fry than sit around puttng up with such nonsense.
