LISTEN: Social media malice and the rise and fall of Julian Borner at Sheffield Wednesday

Our brand new audio feature The Star Owls Daily will be here exclusively every day with the latest on Garry Monk’s men and tonight we’re delving into the contentious issue of social media reaction.

The Star’s Wednesday writers Alex Miller and Joe Crann spoke to Liam Hoden about a tweet from Izzy Brown bemoaning some of the reaction to Wednesday night’s defeat to Brentford and discussed the merits or lack thereof in kneejerk posts.

They also examined the fall into obscurity of Julian Borner following his impressive introduction to life at Hillsborough and pondered if there is any way back for the centre half.
