Barry Bannan Twittergate

[Rick_avfc]

Not sure if any of you saw it or have heard about Bannan's tweet after the game but it went something like this:-

"Chilling at home ... Wat a cold boring day that was !!!"

Not very clever by the wee scotsman and he should learn to control his emotions on a social media website.  Yes, i'm sure we can all share his feelings regarding saturday's game but as a professional, he needs to keep those thoughts to himself.  He has the priviledge of being a professoinal footballer who earns £10k a week - money that we can only dream of earning!  The club have stuck by him through his recent ordeal and to tweet something silly like this will not help his cause.
Come on Barry, sort it out!  Keep wokring hard on the training pitch and you will get your chance.

Mods, if there is already a topic on this, please lock this down.  I didn't see one hence why I created a new one.

Surprised this only got such little attention. It really pissed me off, to be honest.

Compare it to Gardner's tweet: Good point today lads! Unlucky could of had 3! Lets keep going! #utv!!! And good to see robbie keane make his first apperance! #whataplayer!

Albrighton's: Gutted we didn't win! I take responsibility for the goal defiantly! Need to do better! Roll on next weekend!!!

Just really unprofessional and shows a general lack of interest in the club. His following tweets were all about getting ready to go see Celtic play quite excitedly.

Chilling wine at home I would imagine. Shame.

[Rick_avfc]

Exactly, if he is going to tweet then he needs to look at the likes of Gardner and Albrighton and see how they conduct themselves. No excuse really and age cannot be an excuse as both Gardner and Albrighton are young lads and have shown a sense of maturity when using twitter to address their feelings.

Or an honest assessment of a shit day at work.  Choinks away.

[Summers]

The word boring shouldn't be used by our players to describe match days.

[SO Villa]

Oh dear. Presumably, people trawl twitter for honest opinions? Is it really that offensive?

[Rich6by7]

Are those direct quotes from Twitter? Appalling grammar from all three. </grammarnazi>

I stopped following him and all footballers on twitter when i realised all their tweets consisted of
"Good days training now chillin at home"
"Good days chillin/training now off to Nando's

[Karl Bridges]

He's human like the rest of us. I would guess he was pissed off about not getting a chance to try and get 3 points and put it on Twitter like millions of other humans do on a daily basis. Just because he kicks an inflated bit of plastic for a living doesn't mean he get's less pissed off than us lot when he's had a bad day at the office. I think boring was a polite term for watching the majority of that match.

When I first saw it I didnt think much of it but saw he was getting some stick.  Yes, if he was bored thats fine but as a professional footballer he needs to be just that little bit more careful when broadcasting it to his followers as people will take offense to it.

Bannan has proved his stupidity in public so it's on par with what I expect.

Is this thread a fucking wind up?

Jesus christ.

[saunders_heroes]

I've always thought he was overrated anyway. Sell him and put it towards a fullback or two. He's a Championship player at best.

He's a very good footballer , unfortunately seems to be going in wrong direction like club in general , even if I do think twittergate is huge over reaction.
