Villa deleted tweet

[Longsidebovril]

Anyone see it... about coming to Turf Moor and being fouled inevitable.
Really can’t imagine our club doing that.

I also note Alan Pace seems to follow loads of our players.. even the young lads.

[Granny WeatherWax]

Yeah. It said “we’re at turf moor so obviously our striker has been on the end of a dreadful challenge”

[bobinho]

Twitter is a bad idea.... like the internet really.

Someone’s in for a final warning in the morning

[NewClaret]

Incredibly unprofessional.

Glad we beat them after that.

[ksrclaret]

The only option will be to close the Villa Twitter feed down if that sort of insubordination continues.

[BabylonClaret]

It should have read....

Here we go for another 90 minutes and inevitably most of our team spend half the night rolling on the floor

[BurnleyFC]

Its probably some spotty, snotty nosed kid that runs their Twitter account anyway.

[Dark Cloud]

That's a very naughty tweet tbh and somebody might be in a bit of bother!

[Longsidebovril]

On their forum you’d think we’d kicked them senseless

[charlyt]

Bad losers

[Rammy1968]

You can’t kick them as they have already rolled over before we get to them

If only they had Tarkowski.
Might have got a point.

[Buxtonclaret]

Stuff 'em.
They obviously need to go out and spend another couple of hundred million now.

[DAVETHEVICAR]

I have never seen a team who fall over to the slightest coming together.
When they struck the bar in first half it came from a free kick on the touch line where there was no contact with player.
KARMA prevailed.

I’m glad this has been brought up. I saw CT’s tweet about it, went to their page but it had gone. Didn’t know what the fuss was about. Ridiculous from a professional sports organisation. It wasn’t even a robust challenge.

[prettygreenclaret]

Agreed. Dropped like flies at the slightest touch. One incident between Barkley and McNeil where Dwight barely touched him and he just threw himself to the floor. SD was just laughing and asking WTF. They of course, as on many occasions conned the inept Tierney. Bloody useless ref. Hope we dont see him for a long time.

And apparently we were wasting time the whole game!
We must be the 1st team ever to waste time when losing!

[yorkyclaret]

Obviously showed it to the lads at half time. Thanks villa.

[IanMcL]

Very poor from them. Should have been....we fell over....again and again and again.

[claretcarrot93]

To be fair we actually did with Pope end of first half getting to half time with the goal kick. Rightly so as well

I have, wolves. Must be a midlands thing

[claretgimmer]

They`re the new Arsenal

[Devils_Advocate]

It was likely a genuine mistake which was quickly corrected. I just hope whoever made the mistake doesn't get into trouble cos life's stressful enough at the moment

[box_of_frogs]

One of the replies was better. On the lines of:

Do you write “We’re back at Villa Park, so that means the VAR is switched off”!

[Elizabeth]

Well done to Tarkowski for recovering from that early booking and keeping well clear of any red card while being effective against a very good Villa attacking threat.
If only BFC could respond with ‘Up Yours losers’

[NickBFC]

Seems like typical 'banter' that backfired to me. Nothing innocent about that, just very unprofessional and an embarrassment for their club.

Dont be so cynical, in these tough times you should always try to give people the benefit of the doubt.

Be kind

[Jimmymaccer]

Loved Grealish at the end..............a slight change from him smiling and his mates laughing at half time...........

Shame really.

[randomclaret2]

For a club that was an hour away from administration a couple of years ago and survived due to a faulty Goal line sensor last season theyve gone all Billy Big ********

[NickBFC]

The tweet was cynical, totally unprofessional and that's why they've deleted it. I haven't called for someone to lose their job, but a ticking off wouldn't be uncalled for. Maybe Tarkowski and Mee should have been given the benefit of doubt?!

Im sorry you feel this way and cannot see the best in people but I see the best in you and I know deep down you are a good person

All the best and be kind

For the Barkley “tackle”, the commentator, watching the slow motion replay, said he is going down in instalments.

Top Trolling. Chapeau, Sir.

[wilks_bfc]

It appears it’s not just the club that are deleting tweets

It seems that their reporter from the Athletic was having some dig, which has now been deleted, which Bentley has pulled him up on

[BurnleyFC]

The original tweet was obviously alluding to Ben Mee’s challenge on Wesley last season, which was actually a brilliant tackle.

The mard arses.

[ClaretMov]

Funny quote from a club who's had more player's sent off in 19 games this season than we have in the last 5/6 season's in total

Commentary I listened to actually commented on the time wasting.

Was along the lines funny old game, Pope now wasting as much as he dare, wasn't long ago villa were doing exactly the same thing.

All part of the game nowadays. Think these little buttercups need to suck it up.

As been said he thought the drive here was a bit grim with “nothing going on during drive in”

Not sure what he’d be expecting during a pandemic lockdown

I think it's a (very weak) attempt to backtrack. Fair play to Daz B, too, who I've been critical of in the past but rightly brought him down a peg.

Surprised by Villa last night - proper club with proper fans usually but a lot of billy big time stuff from the comms etc which was disappointing.

There were two or three times when Villa set up for a short goal kick, Burnley forwards came to the edge of the area, and after a pause to see if our forwards would go away, the keeper waved everyone upfield and kicked it long.

Pope obviously took notice. And the ref could hardly listen to Villa's complaints that we were doing what they had been doing!

I'm just putting this out there, as a Burnley supporter, I'm not furious over Aston Villa's 'unprofessional' tweet.

[timshorts]

"our striker" in the singular?

If they had more than one then they might have won.
