Barry Bannan Twittergate

[Somniloquism]

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.

A very good footballer? What has he ever done in a Villa shirt to warrant such praise?

Have you forgotten the Manure home match last season where he had a big hand in running the match against them for 70 mins? Plus he had other decent displays last season as well when he had chances. But as mentioned, this one he has gone abit backwards in, but so as a lot of other players as well.

I not sure it's up there with the "bored" England players at the World Cup, but it isn't very bright, especially a player that needs to work that bit harder to and behave a little better after what he has got up to.

Before his driving shenaegans he was forcing his way onto the pitch, the reason he had a boring cold day is down to him,
Bannan has two choices, get his head down, work his bolocks off be a model profesional or Piss around on Twitter and other distractions.

Personally i prefer straight talking. It was boring and a tad chilly. Don't like football cliches like 'uneventfull' instead of boring, or 'simulation' instead of diving.

a lot of good things happened to Bannan in a very short span of time. He broke into our team, had some nice games and then broke into the national team. A lot of people were saying a lot of good things about him. Now, depending on who he is as a person, it

1) would have not had much affect,
2) motivated him to do more,

or 3) the one you don't want - let it get to his head.

It appears to me, that at least right now, our Barry falls into the last category and we've all seen this movie before. The best players in the world generally are motivated to do even more. Then there are those who are dazzled by the lights and start thinking they've arrived. That this isn't the start. They have a bit of fame, lots of money and people telling them how great they are and not stepping in when they act a fool.

Bannan has a lot of potential, but that's all. It's all untapped and unless he gets a grip now, be may never get a grip. In 10 years time he'll wonder why he's playing in League 1 and not ending a solid career in the top flight.

If I was Bannan, I'd be laughing my bollocks off at this thread. And with good reason.

[London Villan]

If I was his boss I'd have probably sacked him after what he's got up to.

[nick harper]

The twitter comment, while in itself is pretty trivial, does suggest that Barry Bannan's number one concern is Barry Bannan. He needs to get his head down and work harder or he will end up as another of our academy players who flatter to deceive.

The reason Bannan found himself out of the team was down to his own stupidity. Now he can't get back into the team he starts whining about it. Typical of today's footballer.

Considering the stick Bent got for going shopping then Bannan therefore deserves some for being a moaning twat. Personally, I don't rate him and Blackpool was about his level.

I agree mate..........he is very average

He's just posted 'reel 'em in'.

[London Villan]

I amazed he can spell that well. He clearly hasn't got a brain.

I never understood the stick that Bent got for that. When I'm off sick from work I don't go in to watch the other guys work.

[Nastylee]

I totally agree. It's because Bent was going through a rough spell everyone jumped on his back. Bannan can do no wrong in some people's eyes simply because he came through the ranks.
