Why would ANY so-called Everton supporter be taking a shot at James Vaughan right now?

There's not a story, because Vaughan isn't a "big" footballer, let's face it. I've always wanted James in the side, it's not like I don't rate him.

Footballers don't need Twitter to boost their eego's. I can understand celebrities, but why footballers? Unless they're planning to sell something...

He talks to all the Crystal Palace boys and he knows things about games before anything official is released.

He mainly talks about his mates and football in general.

I don't see what the problem is. He's a young lad. And as far as I've seen he's handled himself very well.

Its been happening over a few weeks Tex.

Not the first time. Two weeks ago something similar was happening.

People want greater access to our players. But then some abuse that access as we're seeing here.

Yeah I really don't see what he did wrong there. He seems at least to be one of the more genuine people in the footballing world and like many people have said above, I also felt he was quite restrained in his response. It wasn't like he played 90 mins, showed no effort and gave away 16 pens!

Of all the people to moan at.....why Vaughan?! I give up sometimes.....

It was a very professional response given the expletive tirade that was sent to him.

I'm beginning to suspect your'e a media snide trying to create a story here where there is none.

Sniffed and ferreted. Hang him by the testes!!!

I'd swerve twitter if I was a footballer like. Still, don't see he's done anything wrong there.

TheBlueGibbon · January 24, 2011

I'd say JV showed restraint there, I mean he's played a massive total of 20-30 minutes for us this season, and the guy is giving him stick over his wages? Surely you'd say something to the higher earners who haven't turned up at all, one thing you can't fault Vaughan for is the effort he puts in when he's on the pitch, unlike a certain 22 year old Nigerian.

I wish James give him more **** than he actually did, cant believe your making a thread out of this.

Oh BEHAVE LAD.

One of our so-called fans being a tit.

Spot on! why on earth he is abusing our players when the lad has done nothing wrong, i would never EVER call our fans a Kopite, but he resembled one there. I'm all for venting, and getting the frustration out - but directing personal abuse at one of the clubs players is not the way to do it.

Yeah, agree - i'm terrified of our lads being on Twitter doing a babeltweet like that moron did. that was embarrasing to the core, imagine that was one of our lads ? Small time we'd be lablled and bitter.Yet he was called ' humoured '

Pathetic.

I had this convo yesterday with GOT on twitter.
Does anyone have any hard facts its actually him?

Taking a psychonanalytical approach to his tweets; it's appearant that he is mentally only 8 years old.

Nah. But funny how unfiltered and personal these are in comparison to f.ex. LD.

vaughany14 James Vaughan @PM1tty my wages don't have anything 2 do with it u clown. money isn't everything 2 me!

I don't understand the problem -- isn't this exactly the attitude we wish all footballers had?

Or is it just that he called a clown a clown?
