Not seen any footage either, but I'm sure their employers or sponsors wouldn't be too pleased if they come across on a social media platform in the wrong sort of light. Know what I mean.
A double edged sword is social media.

I've seen it on Insta and it ain't that bad to be honest just a group of lads getting pissed on a planned social, no harm done in my opinion.

Everybody has it in them to be a ****, 100%
And thanks for editing a previous post about Neanderthals and evolution so my reply now reads as nonsense
Everyone warms to different characters and I understand that, just doesn't seem like cricket insulting people behind their back. I find the messiah TH boring and dislike scroungers but I haven't mentioned it before because what I like is not of interest to anybody else and it's not fair to give others a preconceived opinion on anything or anyone.
Of course there will always be those in every pastime who think everyone in the public eye is a tosser and would take on 8 blokes with a pint in one hand a kebab in the other

I also dislike scroungers, and think if you chose to live life on social media you open yourself up to a bit of stick...
Unfortunately opinions are like ********s... everyone has them and we should respect that, no right or wrong opinion.
People think I'm a cock, and they are prob right to be fair 😂

Apart from the obvious lack of social distancing that the sponsors might not be too keen about.
To be fair though, I like to fish on my own away from anyone else, yet if I'm on a social I don't mind the beers and a bit of music going, because I'm not really there to focus on fishing. If he's like it ALL the time then yes it'll be annoying but a one off social, especially a celebratory one ain't all bad.

I'm repulsed by full turbo powered ego
Not seen him. Nuff said for me
So how, something has gone wrong somewhere along the line, the price of fame?

Personally, I believe the death of forums is partly down to people being told that they are not entitled to an opinion, so they keep their mouth shut and toddle back to facebook.
Which posts get the most views? These ones probably!
A large thread about how pony Nash Titan Hides are will achieve more interaction from posters than your bog standard "Wots the besht chod hook?"
It engages people in conversation, people talk about remedies, alternatives, and the good old days of when a Fox Evo Brolly stopped them from getting crushed by a flying cow on the Cons during the 87 breeze.
Then, you get those who come onto threads and say "say it to Maddocks Face that his bedchair was ****". It's an attempt to stifle debate IMO and achieves nothing. If an item of tackle is turd according to two posters with a colourful opinion, I would prefer that honest review over a comic that gets paid to advertise sub standand gear.
I also believe that if people who are held to high esteem engages in ****ery on a four figure syndicate, it should be pointed out. After all, people are gonna part with a fiver to see the "exclusive" pictures of Ellis holding the common, and it will no doubt have a diatribe of how the best silicon hook stop on the market was the catalyst to it's capture.
Of course, this is all just an opinion. Back to Facebook...

Have to agree with that, and would add people who have their own agenda and who think everybody should agree with them and if they don't then start to throw labels at them.
It's plain to see in the non carp section here with the same group of people banging on about their own politics day in day out regardless of the subject and bringing their own agenda in to almost every thread.
It's boring and repetitive and I for one no longer read the non carp unless it's photography or football.
Anyway I am being a bit like them myself now going off subject.
I wouldn't have a clue what this Gregg fellow looks like or the fish he caught but did fish the water in the early 90s, it's wasn't exactly an easy water then, to be honest I preferred the river back in the day, all I can say is good luck to him.

Is that not called having an opinion, the very thing you are talking about
Own agenda I suppose is something else
