Liverpool Nathan Eccleston

[Gus is god]

1056: FOOTBALL- Liverpool Football Club are investigating a tweet sent by 20-year-old striker Nathan Eccleston relating to the 9/11 attacks. Since taken down, it read: "I ain't going to say attack don't let the media make u believe that was terrorist that did it. #OTIS." OTIS reportedly stands for Only the Illuminati Succeed.

1057: FOOTBALL- The Liverpool statement reads: "The club takes this matter extremely seriously and senior club officials have informed Nathan Eccleston that we are undertaking an investigation into the circumstances surrounding these postings and will decide on an appropriate course of action."

Can see someone getting kicked out his club, or fined extremely heavily. Why we all have different opinions on what happened that day, pretty moronic for a pro footballer to tweet about it on 9/11 of all day.

What a nobhead. Why all professional clubs don't impose twitter bans I'll never know. I would do if I owned a club.

I think twitter can be good - especially if used as Rio Ferdinand, Robbie Savage, some of our youngsters and our kitmen do. It gets fans closer to the players, which in these days of multi-million pound wage bills can only be a good thing.

Unfortunately, many soccerists do lack the capability to think before they post a tweet.

That is just frankly a stupid thing to tweet. Even if he genuinely believes that, it was hardly going to go down well.

NSC votes to end free speech.

 

[Seagull Steve]

Why? what does he expect the reaction to be?

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Aw come on... its not that bad is it?

 

[madinthehead]

Freedom of speech.. He is a football player, not US President, if he wants to tweet it, why not? Got him good publicity too.. I had never heard of him before...

 

[Gus is god]

not knocking freedom of speech am knocking the time and the place he has done it considering his a professional footballer with thousands of followers

Can't see this is anything for anyone to get into trouble about tbh

I wonder how long before players Tweets will all be getting posted by the PR department of the clubs, on their behalf?

OTIS?

One Team In Sussex. Or Sheffield.

A fair few posters on this board have displayed similar beliefs in relation to 9/11, or the London bombings.

Are we banning them?

Awaiting influx of resident conspiracy nutters... maybe the thread title doesn't make it clear enough what the subject is.

No way he'll get kicked out of the club for that though, even a fine would be ridiculous. Fine him on what grounds? He'll get a telling off, probably.

In an age where fans struggle to relate to footballers more than ever, Twitter is definitely a good thing. Unfortunately, some (most?) of the footballers in question have the mental capacity of a sherbert lemon.

I think we all know who is to blame for 9/11 #OTIS

Are you sure he didn't just watch the episode of South Park I saw last night and took it literally?

Man Utd have a facebook ban, but the players just use false names
