A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to a tweet from Barry Douglas defending his choice of clothes after one Leeds fan made a joke about his fashion choices.
This led to the 30-year-old asking the fan in question to be kind, and it has drawn a large response from many Leeds fans.
Do you think Douglas took this tweet the wrong way?
Yes
No
Some think that Douglas needs to take this as the joke that it was intended to be.
Each to their own kiddo but thanks for your concern #bekind ?? https://t.co/3ZDEnWJRBJ

Other Whites supporters, though, have also slated his choice of clothing.
??? I mean, you’ve got an obligation to #bekind to people’s eyes though, right?

What do we think?
The original tweet looks like it was intended to be a joke, but it seems that Douglas did not take too kindly to it and instead defended himself.
The former Wolverhampton Wanderers man has had a disrupted time since he left Molineux to move to Elland Road, having only played in 39 matches.
Various injury problems have limited the Glasgow-born defender’s game time.
This season he has only made 13 appearances for the Whites, and even when he has been available, he has often found himself on the bench rather than the starting XI.
We think that he should focus on getting back in Marcelo Bielsa’s side rather than having a go at a fan who was probably joking and then later apologised to Douglas on Twitter.
