Footballers’ collective lack of discretion was once again the subject of a mass public outcry after a footballer was caught posting messages on Twitter that were benign and entirely uncritical of referees.
Kevin Thug, 22, a left-back for South Dulwich FC, posted the unacceptable tweets in question and is now under pressure to relinquish his club captaincy and then hand himself in to Guantanamo Bay immediately.
“We had a good, sporting game today, and the ref did a good job,” he tweeted outrageously. “Tonight I’ll be off home for a cup of tea.”
A spokesperson for the FA earlier said: “Mr Thug is way out of line, and we expect that a public apology for his comments will follow in the near future.
“This brings into question footballers’ hard-won reputation as disrespectful, loutish bastards. It’s just not what we expect from a role model such as Kevin – he should be doing something proper, like sleeping with his teammates’ girlfriends or cheating on his pregnant wife with a prostitute.”
