Bollocks.

Anyway, that's even worse. If club IT security is so poor that the twitter can be hacked thats more of a sacking offense than mistakenly using the wrong account to send a tweet from IMO.

Spurs aren't the first and won't be the last to be hacked. More than likely it was a mix up with a personal account, again not the first nor the last.

See what American Airlines mistakenly tweeted recently? google it.. really we should be praising the pilot of that particular aircraft. Landing in the much more pleasant Terminal 1 when the dirtier Terminal 2 a bit further south could have been an option.

Which is not a hacking.

Anyway, they are claiming that their Vine account was hacked. The tweet tweeted someone elses Vine Video, not Spurs Officials, so again total bollocks.

The statement is, unsurprisingly, wrong from Spurs. Clearly it was a mix up but they have made it worse - again, unsurprisingly - by commenting in the way they did. Just like last week with the statement on managers.

We are a silly club arent we. Proper bunch of clowns.

I did laugh though.

Oh yes, capitulations aren't common around THFC are they? Idiots.

If you work in the industry, you'll know that this is actually incredibly easy to do (tweeting from the wrong account). You can help to avoid it by using different Twitter clients, but unfortunately the main Twitter app is still the best in terms of functionality. I actually think it's incredibly harsh that people are calling for someone to be sacked for what is a genuine mistake that wasn't even hugely offensive.

Perhaps Spurs ought to provide those responsible for social media with a work phone!

Still no where near as embarassing and cringe worthy than tottenham official site trying to get Spurs fans to send Ade salutes to them. Who is employed as admin with our club? Bunch of fucking idiots. Surely anyone with half a brain could see we would be mocked for that by everyone. Just goes to show how shite this season has been where an Ade salute is the only thing spurs official can tweet, pathetic.

I laughed.

Fuck em' i mean that Scouse lot crying at the end of the game. About time they all grew a pair. Perhaps they were crying in support of that racist they have playing for them.

have to say yes was very funny but really what do we have to slag them over, they are in the CL next season and if we are lucky we will miss EL,
fans are the same all over the world joking at others so just move on.

That tweet could have been so so much worse.

I'm a bit disappointed that was the best they came up with...
