On my personal twitter account I'll hold on to my right to block who i choose but on an open forum i accept the bad with the majority thats good being in the spotlight I'm lucky enough to hold right now for this brief period of time. However the recent attacks towards charlie are really saddening and disappointing. I had just posted the dangers of believing the 'absolute' style posts of someone who actually doesn't have the slightest notion of whats actually going on and so many of you are so fast to immediately assume the worst. Do none of you actually have any friends who are not obsessed with social media? If you do, thats Charlie. He has zero idea about Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. As difficult as that might be for you to imagine. As of today ive taken over his page so posts moving forward I'll accept responsibility for. As for twitter, whoever set up his account is ignoring my dms. As some of you may know i had to follow it so i could dm. Kinda sad the worst is immediately assumed, then accepted as a given. Bizarre you would think dollery following it, who i dont think has even met Charlie, would somehow lend weight to the assumed fact Charlie has any control over it. Guys, just try a small bit of critical thinking before jumping to utmost offence.

Everyone interrupts things differently. Don't forget Ward has to live with what he did in the ring. That must be impossible. I don't think it's fair people sit on their high horses and judge him on that. I don't know why he picked that picture, but I'd very much doubt it's for 'crass' reasons.

Charlie Ward on his Official Twitter page has a profile picture of him fighting Joao Carvahlo just after taking a straight left to the face and reeling from the punch. Anybody else find that extremely crass to say the least?

I think it's an absolute disgrace to set your profile picture to a punch that may have played a part in ending another man's life. There. It's said. I'm sure plenty won't be bothered by it but i think it's a really insensitive, d1ck move on Wards part.

wonderfullife wrote: » ah come on now. You're trying to tell me he hasn't even looked at his own Twitter account? Ever? He might not control it but he's sure as hell approved that profile pic. If he had a problem with it he'd have said "ah jaysus take that pic down for me".

Having seen his Parents house on his documentaries, it looked pretty nice. So while he grew up in a working class area I do wonder did he have it as tough as some others in that area. I freely admit I'm just thinking out loud here. I thought this one was very good. Some people might forget just how big snooker was (they used to show it live on the BBC when the BBC was still black and white for example) and now it's nearly gone from mainstream sports papers/sites. MMA has risen so fast, relatively speaking, but what will happen when McGregor retires, or loses a few fights in a row? There are very few Irish UFC fighters anymore and the UFC is where it's at. Very good correlation in the article I thought on how something so popular can just disappear.
