Pic: Peterborough United’s Irish chairman goes to town on his own players in astonishing Twitter tirade
Something tells us some of these lads could be sold before the end of the month.
Peterborough United lost by a couple of goals to nil in their League One clash with Colchester today and as you might expect, the club’s chairman, Dubliner Darragh McAnthony was not happy about it.
Actually, scratch that, he was raging and he wasn’t afraid to tell all of his playing staff - and the referee - what he thought of their performances in a quite calculated 11-point (it was actually 14 or 15 in the end) Twitter rant.
At least he let manager Darren Ferguson off the hook.
Like all Posh fans & our Manager, there are many things i'm well & truly p...d off & have the hump with after today, care to know them all?

1. P..d off that its always the manager who is held responsible when a team of players fold like a stack of cards when the going gets tough!

2. P...d off our team can play with that kind of tempo/intensity for first 25 mins, then follow that up with the 65 mins we all witnessed!

3. P..d off that a player of Joe Newells ability can miss an open goal from 5 yards out early on. He should be scoring 10/15 a season.

4. P....d off that a striker I paid half a million for minutes before Colchester score scuffs great chance 8 yards out with nobody near him

5. P...d off that Bossie allows their top scorer to get in front of him to tap in their first goal, shouldnt happen!

6. P....d off our CB runs 50 yards to edge of oppositions box, doesnt pass or shoot but loses ball & they go other end and score.

7.P...d off both our full backs who plenty of the ball couldnt deliver any crosses of any merit or quality or with urgency.

8. P..d off we had a ref who cost us Crewe game cause of incorrect decision was given us again, then sent manager off & many yellows today!
— Darragh MacAnthony (@DMAC102) January 10, 2015
9. P...d off that as going has got tough many thousands of fans have bit like our players, have folded and taken their ball and gone home!
— Darragh MacAnthony (@DMAC102) January 10, 2015
10. P...d off with everything, but tomorrow ill still pay the bills & next Saturday will pay thousands to watch my team play & hopefully win

11. P...d off that our GK had 3 shots to save all game but we conceded 2 goals!

As for people saying you shouldn't tweet etc as its not becoming of a chairman; I live in the 21st Century, maybe others should do the same!
