Redders Right Foot 22 Posted April 23, 2013 I''d assume it''s about his tweet yesterday that said "OMG pornstar football" concerning RVPs second goal .and if it is that, this is pathetic. no action should be taken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
priceyrice 123 Posted April 23, 2013 No, i think it dates back a week or so, I don''t know what was said though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Brownstone 0 Posted April 23, 2013 I''d imagine it was to do with his remarks to some opposition fans that we''re giving another member of the squad stick, he pointed out that they were keyboard warriors and he was more than happy to meet them in person to see if they were so brave.

nu_matik 167 Posted April 23, 2013 Cant be about the ''Pornstar'' comment. It''s not offensive and it''s also very true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarydan23 4,060 Posted April 23, 2013 He''s said stuff about killing criminals as well in the past, might have something to do with it.Decent footballer with potential, but he really is thick judging from his tweets. Really thick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daft thing to do certainly, but if you''re going to abuse a professional sportsman from behind the safety of your keyboard it''s pretty pathetic to go crying about it when they call you out on your bulls**t.

oli4700 0 Posted April 23, 2013 After the Arsenal game he was having a pathetic argument with a twitter troll, both were name slinging. Bennett I remember him saying something derogatory about people who work for minimum wage... So I am not surprised to see punishment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted April 23, 2013 This is ridiculous, everyone is entitled to free speech, regardless of who they are. Some of the players take outrageous stick on there from idiots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nu_matik 167 Posted April 23, 2013 I can see your point Morty 100% .. yet if you were at work, ''representing the company'', and you acted in a manner in which reflected the company on a bad way, you expect punishment. Just the way it is, not my opinion of whats right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Young One 0 Posted April 23, 2013 Reading his tweets he does come across as another thick footballer who doesn''t know better. If they choose to be on Twitter they must be able to stand abuse if they can''t then twitter isn''t for them, they are paid silly money to kick a football around and media attention comes with that and the associated responsibilities, so if they don''t have nice things to say in public they should button it.

Lets face it, I doubt the club or the FA monitor the accounts, this is all about idiots starting arguments with the players then running crying to mummy when they are invariably made to look stupid.A company may pay your wages, they don''t own you.

Alan_Grey 0 Posted April 23, 2013 Footballers represent their clubs, and a geographical area, in a way that people in other professions do not. They also represent the brand of football. It''s completely understandable that they are subject to internal procedures (and let''s be clear, internal to their employers, nothing legal going on here).

Mr Brownstone 0 Posted April 23, 2013 [quote user="morty"]This is ridiculous, everyone is entitled to free speech, regardless of who they are. Some of the players take outrageous stick on there from idiots.[/quote] Agree in principle Morty, but to be fair when you''re being paid big money to represent a Premier League club you should really be able to deal with that in a more professional manner. The "minimum wage" comment probably wasn''t the one he got in trouble for, but is probably the dumbest comment of the lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redders Right Foot 22 Posted April 23, 2013 https://twitter.com/teddyeastoethis seems to be the fella that it was all about with. it seems he has deleted all comments that could associate him with anything to do with it. Ryan and Elliot benno seem to be tagged randomly talking about our ''milk cups'' in a few tweets but that''s it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
