Barry "Messi" Bannan - again

[cdbearsfan]

We don't know either way. It is possibly a fake account. It may be real but it could also be that wee Barry has reason to have his "headgone"... a death in the family or just old-fashioned depression, for instance.

If a popular player, say Benteke, had been accused in this way, everyone would just say "it's fake, what a load of bollocks". With it being a player who is currently out of favour it seems some fans want to believe the worst as an excuse to slag him off.

Would it not be worth waiting to find out the facts before acting as his judge, jury and executioner?

Agree

Bannan was at the game yesterday, I wasn't in the away end so had a better view of the players coming out of the tunnel and walking by the touchline (good view for Matty Van Lowton's goal aswell) and saw him come out with Charlie Adam. He appeared to be eating a doughnut or some other savoury snack.

I just don't think he's very professional, mentioned a few previous incidents elsewhere and he's also overrated as a player.

Think he'll be playing for Celtic in the near future.

It's a fake account.

Some say I'm the scottish scholes, some say my left foot is the best ever. I drive when I want. PARODY.

Twitter and Facebook should have an age limit of 16.

Twatter and Feckbook should be closed down. Waste of time. Just online gossip columns.

Said that 12 hours ago.... Nothing to see here, hardly offensive.

The Instagram account where the original message was posted is not a parody account, it is him.

That hashtag #headloss thing seems to be cropping-up. Presumably for those sensitive souls who can't fathom why the world is out to get them.

I don't really see why there's so much of an issue here.

I want players at the club who aren't happy to have not played, better to have a bitch about not playing than to happily collect your money for nothing every week.

Agreed.

But why post it an hour and a half after the game has finished?

I think the issue here is that he thinks he is a better player than he really is and is not afraid to voice that opinion to all and sundry. Sometimes players should just keep their mouths shut and fingers away from Twitter and Facebook and stop thinking about themselves all the time.

If something like this had come from Bent for instance I could understand it a lot more as Bent has proved himself in the Premiership, Bannan on the other hand has done absolutely nothing so far in his career! 

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Get rid. He is totally unprofessional and not a first team player. He is weak in the tackle and no aerial threat. He is not quick and plays the occasional suicide ball. I am sure PL will have players in mind if we can survive ........

[Drummond]

 no aerial threat.

I've been saying similar about Guzan; he just doesn't seem to have a goal in him at the moment.

This sums the attitude up for me, basically it's bad because it was Bannan, not because it's bad.  Any excuse to give him a bit more shit I guess.
