Peterborough’s Irish owner slates team on twitter after loss

Darragh MacAnthony was not happy after Peterborough's performance today, not happy at all.

League One side Peterborough United lost 2-0 at home to Colchester United, and the Posh's chairman took to twitter to air his frustration. The Dublin born owner of the club said he, like the fans and manager, was 'p...d off' with the team's performance. Peterborough are winless in six home games and currently sit 11th in the league and are managed by Sir Alex Ferguson's son Darren. MacAnthony offered a detailed critique of all the team's players and told them they could let him know if they didn't like his actions.

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? — Darragh MacAnthony (@DMAC102) January 10, 2015

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! — Darragh MacAnthony (@DMAC102) January 10, 2015

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! — Darragh MacAnthony (@DMAC102) January 10, 2015

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. — Darragh MacAnthony (@DMAC102) January 10, 2015

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 — Darragh MacAnthony (@DMAC102) January 10, 2015

5. P...d off that Bossie allows their top scorer to get in front of him to tap in their first goal, shouldnt happen! — Darragh MacAnthony (@DMAC102) January 10, 2015

 

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. — Darragh MacAnthony (@DMAC102) January 10, 2015

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. — Darragh MacAnthony (@DMAC102) January 10, 2015

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

11. P...d off that our GK had 3 shots to save all game but we conceded 2 goals! — Darragh MacAnthony (@DMAC102) January 10, 2015

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! — Darragh MacAnthony (@DMAC102) January 10, 2015

Oh & finally;if any of my plyrs are bit too sensitive to whats been said,feel free to let me know anytime.Or Alternatively just do your job! — Darragh MacAnthony (@DMAC102) January 10, 2015
