Tom13 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 They've recently allowed 140 characters plus a picture (used to have to allow for a pic within the limit which took up around 22 characters) so guess that'll be it for now. If Tony wanted to post longer messages I'm sure he'd just get a website up to link to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post brommy Posted October 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2016 I don't see it as BS and I don't think it has backfired in any way. I do think some people are way too easily embarrassed and/or enjoy making a drama out of very little. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 People hoped he would restrain himself and calm his tweets down a bit. Including myself. He has done that. Still not good enough. I think some have already made their mind up. Their agenda is set. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the big deal with that? Haven't you learned to do that amicably yet? Can't you take free advice on board without having a whinge about it? At the end of the day, I lost patience with RDM myself on Tuesday night, but I appreciate hearing an alternative opinion.

Popular Post dont_do_it_doug. Posted October 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 1, 2016 Basically lads, and this is for everyone, YOU are not 'Mr Aston Villa'. Neither am I and neither is Tony. However he's perfectly entitled to remain positive and encourage other fans to do so. If you're reading "better fan than you" in those tweets then you must do that with every post, tweet or opinion that disagrees with you. You must think that YOU are the bestest fan there is. Reality check - you're just not that important. The only thing that matters is the collective. WE are Aston Villa, together. Not you as an individual. The club will carry on long after we've all returned to dust. Football was so much better before the internet. Now every word removed and his dog feels a sense of entitlement. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically it's rubbish anyway as a true friend is one who will criticise you when things aren't right not one who supports regardless and for him to suggest that supporters are only true friends if they support the present is garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
