Cardiff City goalkeeper Ben Wilson returns from loan spell after furious Twitter spat with AFC Wimbledon fans



He came in for abuse on social media with one fan tweeting him to say: “I'm glad you think it's funny, the teams already got enough c**** who don't care.”

Wilson hit back by saying: “Got enough of them as supporters like you also.

“You're still paying to watch every week and helping towards my wage, I'm laughing and you're losing out.” :shock:

Wilson came in for criticism after the Dons were beaten by Stevenage at the weekend and has returned to Cardiff after responding to fans' criticism on Twitter



Cardiff City goalkeeper Ben Wilson has returned to the Bluebirds from his loan spell with AFC Wimbledon after responding furiously to Twitter abuse from the London club's supporters.

Wilson joined the League Two side in October on an emergency loan move and made eight appearances for the Dons along the way.


But after producing an erratic display in his side's 2-1 home defeat to Stevenage on Saturday – where he let a long punt up field bounce over his head for a goal – Wilson was heavily criticised by fans of the Kingsmeadow club.

“You're still paying to watch every week and helping towards my wage, I'm laughing and you're losing out.”




While coming in for flak from some Wimbledon fans, Wilson received words of support from Cardiff fanatics as well as a selection of those from the League Two outfit.

It remains unclear as to whether Wilson's Twitter spat with supporters is the reason for the goalkeeper returning to the Welsh capital though the end of the loan deal was confirmed by the Dons on Monday afternoon.

In a statement on the club's official website, AFC Wimbledon boss Neil Ardley said: “I’d like to thank Ben for his commitment while he was here and wish him all the best in his future career.”

wilson sounds like a right arrogant plonker .... what an idiot responding with a comment like that. If thats is attitude towards supporters then i hope he never gets between the sticks for us.

Disgraceful reply especially from a junior player.

I think it's a prime example of a very young and immature guy responding to criticism so let's not slag him off too much. I'd be more disappointed if it was a more experienced player if they had come out with a reply like that. Also,sometimes when people get involved in repartee,they say things they may regret later. Someone should have a word in Wilson's ear and perhaps he'll realise he's wrong and apologise for his outburst.

Kennedy was frustration at lack of playing time (and IMO he should be getting at least 20 mins every game, although I'd start him)

That from Wilson is just arrogance and if something like that was said to 1 of our fans then I wouldn't want that player to pull a shirt on for us again.

Don't dish out what you can't take, simple. Good on you Wilson.

Agree it just shows how much young players have to learn with the examples they need to set as professional athletes on social media.

He's a great goalkeeper, bags of potential, but he should be more professional than that as a football player. Fan criticism is part of the job, you must choose to ignore it.

People in the public eye who use social media to vent their feelings open themselves up to this sort of publicity.

People like Wilson should think twice before pressing the send button.

Thankfully I am of an age where I don't indulge in this modern way of communication. :old:

Kennedy has every right to feel aggrieved.

Playing in the under 21s is a disgrace for how good he is.

Quote: “You're still paying to watch every week and helping towards my wage, I'm laughing and you're losing out.”

Whilst accepting a certain amount of 'provocation', I think this is disgusting and it makes you wonder if that is the attitude of many other players?

Ben Wilson is a talented young man with still a lot to prove/achieve in the game and in life. Not endearing yourself to the fans (or the manager) is not the best way to further your career! :(

He's made a mistake, and he has rightly been sent back to Cardiff. Lets not get out of our prams too much about it though, he's a youngster who has had a silly spat on social media, this shit happens these days. Hopefully, he'll learn from his mistake, and grow up, sharpish.

It seems Neil Ardley doesn't believe he has a future in football by wishing him good luck in his future career? Could have a point there Neil.

Exactly. I seen in another thread that we should terminate his contract ffs. :roll;

Dont get me wrong it was a disngraceful thing to say. Id rather he had just told the guy to f*ck off than say what he did, especially the wages bit, but hes only young and hopefully he will learn.

Tonteg going ott has usual. Silly thing to say but like mentioned he's young and was out of order, but sack him? No chance, apologise and move on.

No one likes receiving personal abuse. I'd imagine a few on here would not take it kindly to it!.

He probably regrets it. As how many people say the wrong thing in the heat of the moment?.

Beyond stupid though doing it on twitter.

To be totally honest, I had no idea he said anything on twitter. What did he say?.

I can remember Tom Lawrence complaining about not coming on versus Cyprus :lol: He deleted it straight away.

He will be a star for us but this qualifying campaign was not his time!

He said something like "great another warm up just to be on the bench" he deleted it soon afterwards aswell.

Ah :roll:

I previously sat directly where people warm up for a season. The amount of players that didn't look happy close to the end of the game. The body language of average players is shocking.

With Guerra looking the most glum game after game. Barely even bothering to look like he cared after a while.

They were like a group of startled dogs when one of the coaches called to them up the line "ME? ME? ME?"
