RedEyez Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 I presume it’s with regards to this? If so, I think it’s more to do with him playing and scoring for Birmingham than the bit about Afobe.

Loco Rojo Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Perhaps he used the wrong emoji. Can't imagine anyone would have intended that on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benik Afobe isn’t on Twitter so the @benikafobe would not have reached him and Daniel Crowley doesn’t appear to be on Twitter either, the account @danielcrowley10 definitely isn’t him, the last tweet on it was in 2012 and it doesn’t have that profile pic either - and furthermore, Jack Grealish’s official Twitter account name is @jackgrealish1 and not @jackgrealish - and that reply above isn’t on Jack Grealish’s twitter feed .... could be wrong about all this, but it looks a bit iffy as though someone is trying to discredit Jack ...

Med/MadHatter Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 I'm no apologist for Grealish but i think the emoji was a reaction to Birmingham City, at least i bloody well hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plainly it's to do with the Birmingham aspect of the quote rather than in relation to Afobe's tragedy. The second "massive over-reaction thread" of the week right here.

Even if it was meant in regards to Brum's victory, it was pretty inappropriate considering what was said in the original comment, don't you think?

I'd chill out a little tbh - it's thunderingly obvious that Grealish didn't make the post to offend anyone (especially given his own family history), and why people can't see that I've no idea. Further, he's already apologized saying he didn't see that Afobe part of the post which is pretty damn plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatchers Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Talented player that Grealish is, he is a Diver. His constant theatrics and going to ground as soon as anyone even farts in his direction and constant complaining to the officials really do earn him the title of, Scumbag, in my opinion.

Sturny Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 I think he's deleted the comment. I've never liked the fella, can't put my finger on why. But I feel like this was a mistake of his and directed at the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
