Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior has spoken out about being mocked and laughed at online, with memes being made about him.
It’s obviously the nature of the beast in this day and age. You get trolls online deciding to make fun of people they don’t know, abuse them, or criticise them. As a famous person these days, it is all just part of the job and something you have to put up with.

But of course it is bound to affect people in different ways and it will also affect people’s families in different ways to how it might affect the individual. But it is always going to be there.
Everyone has a phone in their hand these days, everyone sees social media, it is impossible to avoid it even if you want to.

As relayed by The Sun reporter Lloyd Canfield, Rosenior said:
“It affects them. It affects my parents, it affects my family.
“But I knew walking into this job it was going to happen. It’s normal. So for me, when you’re prepared for it, it makes you smile.
“I’m a confident person. And if you’re affected by things like that you shouldn’t be in this job. There’s no way you can do this job if you’re affected negatively by it.
“I quite enjoy it, to be honest. You know, I didn’t help myself with my first touch at Arsenal…”
Great way to react
I think that’s a superb way to react, taking it all in his stride and saying that he even enjoys it. He is taking it like banter, and banter will always be in this sport. So, fair play Liam, that’s a great way to respond. I do feel for his family though, it can’t be easy now he is suddenly in the spot light.
