Stevo985 Posted January 7, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Honestly, reading his tweet I actually thought he was going to be telling the truth. That kind of thing can happen. But **** hell. It couldn't be more blatant. I'd have way more respect for him if he just said something like "I'd had a few drinks and thought I was being funny. Obviously I was wrong, it's not funny at all, I don't condone any views associated with the gesture, and I apologise to anyone who is offended" Edited January 7, 2019 by Stevo985 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I read his tweet first and thought maybe he should be given the benefit of the doubt. Then I saw the picture 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djdabush Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Had a quick look on some Crystal Palace forums to see what the reaction has been. Full of ‘PC gone mad’ and ‘snowflakes getting offended’ type views. They seem a lovely bunch. Anyway, fairly obviously a pretty unfunny joke and a ridiculous response instead of holding his hands up and apologising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 It's funny because Max Meyer is German and Hitler was German. Cutting edge humour from the lad there to be fair. Epic bantz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Best option for him is to claim he was possessed. Just look at the eyes. All of them look like Marty Feldman on acid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 And of course, he did this as a reaction to the Spurs fans who were annoyed at him for almost killing Jurgen Klinsmann in what is easily the worst foul anybody has ever completely gotten away with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember this well. At the time Bosnich was my absolute hero. And I was too young to understand at all how bad a gesture like that was, let alone doing it to Spurs fans. So I remember wondering what all the fuss was about I've never seen a clip of the foul on Klinsmann. But seen pictures and heard about it. Sounded like an absolute shocker.

Wainy316 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 So that's three pics of keepers doing Nazi salutes. I can only deduce, all keepers are Nazis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Meh, a still photo rarely tells half the story. It's like that one of Prince William doing the rounds, from the side you'd be certain he's sticking his middle finger up at someone/something, front on you see that he's signalling 3 to somebody.....all about perspective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the story is his hilarious denial rather than the actual gesture. Like I said above, I reckon if he'd come out and straight up just apologised and said it was a badly judged joke then it would have been relatively ok. But denying it just makes him look stupid.
