John Aldridge questions Luis Suarez's loyalty. (The same John Aldridge born in England and played for Ireland.) http://t.co/qJfMaBxCux #LFC — ESPN UK (@ESPNUK) July 26, 2013It came across as something of a cheap dig by ESPN and when Aldridge got wind of it on Twitter, his response illustrated just what he thought of the implication made in the ESPN tweet.
@StanleyVandel @ESPNUK what a knob he is Stan just block him mate — John Aldridge (@Realaldo474) July 26, 2013Having taken some flak for the original tweet, ESPN subsequently apologised on Twitter, although it could be argued that the logic behind their apology didn’t really make sense in relation to what they had originally posted.
Seems our John Aldridge tweet has been taken the wrong way, so apologies. We meant we're gutted he didn't choose to play for England! #LFC — ESPN UK (@ESPNUK) July 26, 2013In any case, they should probably just be glad they didn’t say anything to Aldridge’s face, lest they faced a reaction a little something like this… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_0ZEh6LPnA
