Oh Twitter, what did we ever do without you? Burnley midfielder Keith Treacy's Twitter account has been hacked tonight. Ridiculously hacked.

The 22-year-old, who has six caps for Ireland and four as an under-21, currently has over 3,300 Twitter followers and we're fairly sure that each one of them is wondering exactly what happened to his official page tonight.

Despite describing himself in good-guy terms as "father, to my little girl ruby pro footballer for burnley fc!!" on the page, fans of the midfielder might have been a little surprised to see a man who may or may not be Treacy lifting his legs high into the air, displaying his entire groin and rectal region for all to see and boasting a great big smile on his face.

We don't really want to go into any further detail (children could be reading this) but if have the stomach for it, you can find the picture here. It's obviously NSFW but comes with a warning: it cannot be unseen by human eyes.

Burnley fan Joanne Green (@TurfmoorJo) tonight informed fans that "Please all note that @Treace11 account has been hacked into. He doesn't have his laptop with him as he is in Ireland".

Joanne also tweeted Burnley FC's Media Manager to inform him "I have just spoken to Kieth. His twitter acc has been hacked & he can't close it down Pls dm me for his no".

Thankfully, Treacy's main pic has seen reverted to a harmless Thunderbirds character picture instead. Let's hope the young man has changed his password...

UPDATE - Actually, it's now currently a picture of a sign that reads 'THIS SIGN MUST NOT BE USED AS AN ENTRANCE OR EXIT', while his motto now ends with "...pro footballer for a shit football team... burnley fc!!" Oh dear, as of this writing Keith isn't out of the woods just yet.
