Aldershot have transfer listed and fined Marvin Morgan two weeks wages after he told supporters, ‘I hope you all die’ on his twitter account.
Morgan was booed during his side’s 2-1 defeat by Hereford and responded angrily on twitter.
A statement from Aldershot read: “The player accepted that his conduct was totally misguided and inappropriate and he accepts that his actions were incorrect and ill disciplined.
“Accepting that his actions had been foolish he explained that they had been made in the heat of the moment and apologised for the distress he had caused.
“The football club are satisfied that the player meant no malice with his comments. However they were completely irresponsible and contrary to the values of Aldershot Town Football Club.
“The player has also undermined the good work that he and his colleagues have done servicing the local community.”
After being booed and substituted Morgan retaliated online stating: “Like to thank the fans who booed me off the pitch. Where’s that going to get you! I hope you all die.”
The whole social media ‘thang’ has undoubtedly exploded and what started off as predominantly innocent medium for people to share their most banal innermost thoughts has become a monster.
Darren Bent when at Tottenham used his Twitter account not only procure freebies from people like Weetabix, but to vent about club chairman Daniel Levy.
Rio Ferdinand rather bizarrely revealed after that Nani goal against Spurs that the linesman had witnessed a handball by the Manchester United player! Rio really gets stuck into his Tweeting and if you follow him there is little about his life you won’t know, including what a plate a his licked clean rib bones look like!
Not all footballers have caught the Tweet Fever and unsurprisingly, Manchester City’s forgotten loanee Craig Bellamy only managed 3 Tweets before jacking it in. You can only wonder if the machine is still in one piece.
Nicolas Anelka is a big Tweeter. He has over 96,000 followers. His Tweets are an invaluable source of information if you don’t own a radio, tv, computer or can’t afford a newspaper as he routinely announces Chelsea fixtures and match results.
