Says the person who abused Debbie Cook on social media was caught by the police and the club have banned them from BP til the end of the season (which sounds a bit lenient)

The sanction may seem lenient but it’s an illustration of what a good person Debbie is & how much of a loss to the club she’ll be.

Banned to the end of the season. He'll probably miss about 50 goals.

And how many will we score in reply!  ;)

The advice I always give to my kids - never say anything online that you would not say to a persons face.

I like that the club did not name/shame the person - hopefully this creates a more positive outcome for that person and changes their behaviour in the future.

The pure embarrassment for the male masturbator

The leniency, caution, lack of naming/shaming and the fact they got away with a letter of apology  suggests they are probably quite young. Personally think that the punishment should have been wider considering the aggressive campaign of abuse that went on. A ban spanning 2-5 years for all football grounds seems apt considering people get huge bans for doing less than that.

If they are young then maybe they'll learn a lesson that nothing they say or do online is ever anonymous and they will eventually be tracked down and punished. If I were them I'd consider myself a lucky boy and change for the better, but some people only get encouraged when treated softly.

Literal words on the internet from a young kid lol. How soft has the world got?

I think I might know who the guy is and he’s a total idiot. But draconian as fck when you can’t say words. Dark path

So, in support of free speech, you’d be perfectly happy for some little toe rag to target that level of vile abuse at your Mother, daughter, partner etc? After all it’s only words!

Yeah, it’s a right laugh getting incessant abuse written about you constantly on a public forum just because you’re working for a football club.

An immediate insight into the troll mindset. Or as my middle son would say 'a smooth-brained invertebrate'

The person in question isn't a young lad, it's a man with kids... if you have nothing nice to say then don't say it at all was what my mum taught me and it's what i'll teach my kids.

Confucius say " Find out the facts and engage brain before opening mouth or posting on forum "

I can imagine that this nasty piece of work cost Debbie considerable distress.
I think they have been treated relatively leniently.
Hopefully he/she now appreciates that.
