Ruben Selles and Abu Kamara speak ahead of Hull City's Yorkshire derby with Leeds United

[@markbrady9594]

Everyone is quick to hang people out to dry. He’s our player. Get behind your team. I really feel for the lad.

[@OliverMegginson-n4r]

Why is kamara apologising? All he did was congratulate his friend. Some of our fans are just weird.

[@mrdeafa25]

He asked for the opportunity to apologise. He wasn't forced to do it.

[@stephenbrown1237]

Give the lad a break, he has the making of a good team player and we should be giving him all of our support UTT

[@ja-zo9df]

Always believed in him.its clear to see hes talented. And yes just a throw away comment on his friends goal.were all human.

[@JT-bl7gj]

Oh Abu, come back home to Pompey! Hull will never see the player you were for us if they treat you like this. Levels above league one and rightly deserves to be a championship player

[@shanegreen2583]

I feel for him really. Yes he’s not played well and he did slightly improve apart from tracking back but I don’t like him being made a scapegoat of in the way he has. We’re all frustrated because we’re in a relegation fight but it’s not acceptable to treat him like that. Great work by Ruben to do this and massive respect. We are never used to an easy life at city, but if we go down I’ll still be here and I’ll still support city.

[@ScottReviewsThings]

So let me get this straight!! He’s been pulled up for sending a public message to a mate congratulating him for scoring his first goal of the season. Jesus. What a time we live in. This is no more than the manager deflecting from his own inability to do his own job. This is so awkward to watch. Feel sorry for Abu.

[@decelis2010]

Abu was a shining star for us last season and I felt gutted when I see him sign up for Hull on transfer Deadline Day. He is a fantastic player, he deserves a lot of respect. He will do massive things for your club. Keep your chin up Abu. 💙💙💙 And well done for congratulating your friend on his special occasion.

[@mrdeafa25]

There must be two Abu Kamaras and we signed the wrong one. He has turned out to be one of the worst signings we have made in my lifetime and the worst part of it is his total lack of effort. He hasn't broken sweat in a single game, refuses to tackle and rarely tracks back. His body language, even in this interview, tells us he doesn't want to be here and that's fine because we dont want him.

[@KeithMountifield]

@@mrdeafa25 With this kind of treatment, are you really surprised? I suspect this whole thing is indicative of a far deeper issue in your dressing room than this lad not performing. It's usually to do with the manager... You seem him here playing some very sad passive-aggressive games with a your lad who is not in a situation to be able to defend himself. You've heard the phrase 'a bad workman blames his tools' and all I see here is the manager blaming the lad, rather than taking on the responsibility for helping and leading him. I would expect to see more videos like this with the manager putting on his teflon-coated shoulder pads and blaming the players that he can't or on't lead properly

[@KeithMountifield]

@@robw108 I'm not saying he's been good for you. What I'm saying is that the evidence of his history shows he can be good and is fundamentally a player of quality. So perhaps the reason he's not doing well is not just 'he's lazy' but perhaps a deeper issue with your manager. I your manger can't motivate players to put the effort in, that's a problem with him as much as the players.

[@KeithMountifield]

@@robw108 Which begs the question, is treating him like this going to motivate or alienate the lad? Perhaps it would have been better to deal with the whole thing in private and just ask him not to post publicly on social media rather than throwing him under the proverbial bus. You can always loan him to Pompey in this window then see how well he plays😂

[@mrdeafa25]

@@KeithMountifield Was the previous manager at fault too? Hasn't put a days work in since he hit the payday jackpot. It's not a loss of form we are talking about here, this lads performance has to be seen to be believed. He barely ever gets above a jog when he is on the pitch and despite getting tons of unjustified support from the fans pretty much everyone is sick of him. Has he never managed to tackle anyone before he came to us or has he simply stopped bothering? Was he not bothered about tracking back to help the defence previously or is that just while he is here? When did he forget that he has two feet not one? Has he unlearned that a winger is supposed to cross the ball? I could go on but basically what I am saying is this is not acceptable from any player and this money-sucking clown should be dumped fast.

[@EddieHall-s5v]

Hull city fans absolutely delighted with Abu kamara today .. he scored 2 brilliant goals against Yorkshire rivals Leeds .. played great today and showed how good he really is

[@kevinhickson8099]

Social media is a dangerous place these days.

[@melhoward847]

I feel for Abu after he first signed and his first interview he was asked how he felt about signing for City he had a massive smile on his face and said he was buzzing and can't wait to get started looking at him since and here he looks like a different person I really hope he can sort it and get his smile back it seems he has a great manager who's trying to build confidence back in them all. the Walters era it seems has a lot to answer for

[@KeithMountifield]

Absolutely disgusting treatment of a young player. All those involved in this attempt to publicly embarrass him should be utterly ashamed of themselves and their bullying. It's utterly childish. Abu should get the hell out of that toxic environment as quickly as he can.

[@martindoe7525]

Abu did nothing wrong the media and your fans are odd!

[@spodge1233]

People need to get off this lad's back. Seems to be a bit of a campaign, here.

[@darrenmillings3715]

Fair play bro not many footballers would Front it up and apologise.

[@daveericson8447]

I'd rather never play fir the team again than be publicly humiliated. His body language should tell you all you need to know on and off the pitch, he's thinking he made a huge mistake joining Hull

[@Steve-fn8hs]

I'm a Boro fan and this is shocking. It appeared on one of our forums. He was hung out to dry by Sky. He looks like a captured soldier paraded in front of a TV. It's the gaffer basically blaming one person. You defend as a team. Very unnecessary.

[@ldm7532]

Wtf .this could not go down well within the team makeing the lad do this

[@CTLR99]

I had more issue with his lack of effort on the pitch, quite frankly did not care about his comment on his friends instagram. Strange reaction from some of our fans

[@somewhereuk1957]

I hope this is a wake up call for him in more ways than one,...

[@jacobmarsh7173]

i feel really sorry for Abu, the manager and club should be ashamed of themselves, lots of players congratulate others on their performance, goals etc. He is being made a scapegoat for others poor performances. Moubtain out of a mole hill, he should not have to apologise to anyone

[@joerobinson3545]

Absolute disgrace of an interview. I love my club, but this place is becoming toxic!

[@des8039]

Hull were dreadful against Middlesbrough

[@beevers01]

Feel sorry for abu getting so much stick for congratulating a friend who plays for rival championship club in Portsmouth

[@markt6021]

Says more about Selles than Abu, what a terrible manager to feel he has to do this.

[@baiorichiethomas7058]

We Sierra Leone stand with him I blame pompey for all this the could have signed Abu but the let him go after loan

[@des8039]

Abu doesn't want to be here

[@DarrenSmith-tq2xz]

I'm a Boro fan and he doesn't have any respect for the hull fans who pay his wages he's a decent player but I wouldn't want him at the Boro

[@DavidEdwards-o3k]

Strange, he was brilliant for us last season

[@DarrenSmith-tq2xz]

@DavidEdwards-o3k good result for your team today we dropped another 2 points at the Riverside not acceptable have a great week ahead stay safe and well

[@des8039]

@DarrenSmith-tq2xz kit Symons you need

[@AJTrain]

Disgusting treatment of Abu, god forbid he wants to congratulate a mate on their first championship goal. You'll never get the Kamara you saw at Pompey if he's treated this way.

[@mrdeafa25]

All we got was a lad on enough money that he never need work again who ambles around the pitch making the odd half-hearted attempt to join in. Every 'performance' has been shit so far and he plainly doesn't give a toss. The quicker this money-sucking waster is offloaded the better. Biggest mistake since Jimmy Bullard.

[@HowardSherwood-v7q]

I don't think players should be above fair criticism. They are very well paid professionals and should expect both the plaudits and brickbats so long as it is fair. Understandable that Ruben calls it a team issue but was it really?

[@killygonz]

Cruel and unnecessary treatment by a manager. He’s lost Abu now.

[@johnw29]

He reacted when Paddy Lane put his post up. When else is he supposed to comment? Disgraceful public humiliation from Hull. You'll always be welcome at Fratton Park Abu. I've seen players doing this exact thing many many times without criticism. I'm sure Pompey players have commented on Kamara's posts too, without any backlash.

[@brendenjohnson1386]

Poor Abu come back to pompey

[@T-Thresh]

He needs to step up as a winger, put some graft on the pitch and maybe the comment would of gone unnoticed

[@josephodd344]

Never, ever apologise....

[@HowardSherwood-v7q]

I also thought the interview was excruciating and embarrassing. The fans don't need to see hand wringing. Do the talking on the pitch that's all that matters.

[@jameswest9800]

Complete BS, not a mistake, no apology necessary, should be allowed to congratulate a friend. Poor judgement by manager.

[@stephenparkin8337]

Shocking putting a young lad in front of the camera like that. Whoever decided to do that should give their head a shake. Boro fan.

[@peeweestairmaster6566]

This is totally TOTALLY ridiculous. That Mike White has a massive attitude problem. He had it in for Grant McCann from day one and spoke to him like dirt, had it in for Tim from day one and constantly tried prodding him to get a negative reaction and is doing the same again to Abu. It’s ridiculous. Mike White: you should be ashamed.

[@davidbolgerrooftop6439]

no way to treat a young player, embarrassing hull football club and the manager , your a complete joke

[@JosephCarter-sp3xv]

He’s not happy at hull and who can blame him? Shithole of a place and a tin pot club Shouldn’t be saying sorry or explaining this

[@robw108]

its not a shithole,where you from?

[@richardmarshall8727]

It’s a poorly timed post by Kamara, given his under performance. He could have just as easily sent his friend a private message, or simply called him on the phone. Perhaps he wasn’t thinking, although on the other hand perhaps he was.

[@michaelharding4556]

What a joke football club Hull is. Im embarrassed for you all. That was absolutely excruciating to watch. So you can't congratulate your friends now? Come back to Pompey Abu. Sorry you have to work at that shitshow.

[@mrdeafa25]

You can have him back mate. A lazier specimen I have yet to see.

[@daveericson8447]

Crap manager deflects blame away from his lack of ability and dumps it on Kamara. You can bet a lot of player's wont be happy with Kamaras treatment. Hull will be lucky to win another game as the manager will lose the dressing room

[@antofthedead]

Poor Abu. Clubs a joke

[@garymcmanus9946]

It really does feel that way . Tough bin a tiger.🐯🧡🖤

[@JosephCarter-sp3xv]

[@ianstewartaviation2634]

Really !

[@ianstewartaviation2634]

He should apologise for his poor performances on the pitch his body language says it all, does he really want to be here. The only way to get fans of his back is to go out and perform 100% then this will soon be forgotten. In his defence he is not the only player that needs to up his game.

[@garymcmanus9946]

As a city fan, we have much more to worry about. Selles has his Phil Brown moment might come back to bite him.....should be apologising for gifting Boro the points along with coyle and alzate. City have become a bit of a circus lately.😢🐯🧡🖤
