I am a hypocrite

Posted by

During the Bolton game I posted a joke tweet as Ryan Babel was about to come on

@empireofthekop RT @RyanBabel I am coming on

I meant no harm with the tweet, between the lines I was saying “I am happy to see Ryan back”.

I sent a tweet right away saying that is was a joke however some of the @RyanBabel followers did not see my second tweet and thought it was true that he was tweeting during the game.

Without a doubt Ryan was upset about it and in a way I do not blame him because he did not see the whole thing either.

It was the first time Ryan has played since the Twitter incident two weeks ago, everyone who follows @empireofthekop got the joke. Honestly I was very happy to see Ryan coming on and playing.

I did send an apology to Ryan about this incident and I feel bad because thinking about the hoopla caused last time I betcha the Sc*m had already probably printed the back page for tomorrow morning. “Ryan Babel tweeting from bench”.

Ironically right after the game I posted this on my Facebook profile.

“Offending Rafa or any Liverpool player is like offending a member of my family. I can not be friends with people who offend my family.”

I sure look like an ass now.

  1. I think in the same way we didn’t blast Ryan for the tweets he made, you shouldn’t be feeling bad about it either cause both of you meant well.

  2. In all fairness anyone who thought that was a real tweet from @RyanBabel needs their heads examined. I recieved the tweet and thought it was very amusing.

    Also Ryan babel needs to chill out a small bit. Granted he made a mistake but rather than complain about him and telling him to stop spitting his dummy we all got on with it.

    At the end of the day it was a Joke and i as a Liverpool supported saw the funny side. Personally i think Babel takes his Twitter life too serious and needs to step from it a bit.

    also on a personal note im also sorry We did not accecpt Birminghams offer for Him, but thats jst my opinion.

    Kev

  3. Yeah that was a little out of order…when you consider all the shit Babel and Rafa went through with the “twitter saga” so i can see why Babel took offensive to it!!

  4. Hi Antoine,

    Don’t worry, even I’m French and my english is as poor as Fergie is fair with referees, everyone knows you joked : ryan can’t tweet live from the game.. It’s so stupid to think about your tweet was the true.

    Everyone knows that you and all “posters” of EOTK wish successful for Rafa and his guys, Ryan too.

    My dear Antoine, you’re a good guy (even if you are as bald as Franck Leboeuf.. Lol)and more than never :

    YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE..

    steph…

  5. Relax Antoine, Ryan does not have to get all hyped up about something which now clearly looks to have been a joke. With all the cock-ups he’s managed to muster up so far it seems rather hilarious that he has to take offense this way. Get over it Ryan, and concentrate on becoming what the Club and the fans expect from you!

  6. it was just a joke, I found it funny. I f**** don’t like to serious people. They are sad, aren’t they? But they don’t know it themselves.

    @shush I think, you still didn’t get the joke …

  7. Fair play to you, Antoine!
    Although you may have thought of this as a little “joke” and it backfired, you still stand to it and make an apology!
    I think that says a lot……!
    Not everybody would stand to that….

    I personally thought it was funny ;) :)

  8. I’m a huge fan of Ryan Babel but this guys is not cool at all I tried to add him on tweeter but nothing… he rejected my invitation too bad for me… I remember his goal at Lyon in Champions League with a friend we are the two guys for Liverpool in the Kop of Lyon !!! :D
