So it wasn't just some herbert calling Jay Rod a CJTC then?

Not seen such Bravery!
I don't know for sure, but think not.
Bozza obviously doesn't edit or pre-screen comments so is not liable on publication.
However, he could be liable post-publication - eg if he (or moderators) was alerted to something libellous and failed to remove the offending post/replies efficiently.
Prosecutors could demand information on post and removal times, page views etc.
And presumably he would have to be able to demonstrate that controls are in place to prevent such postings, eg rules, guidelines and warnings, monitoring, etc

The tweet in question made no reference to any current player

Did anybody see these tweets? Did anybody on here complain?
I said it after Zaha claimed he was sent racist abuse & death threats I found it weird that nobody had seen them, and no screenshots existed and the same here. If the abuse was bad enough to warrant a five game ban and visible enough to lead to numerous complaints then surely someone on here would have seen it?
The person who made the initial complaint, took a screen grab of the tweet in question and this is still visible on twitter under the complaints account. The person who got the 5 game ban, firstly switched his twitter account to locked so only confirmed followers could view, but then I believe deleted the ir account and started a new one to try and avoid responses to his earlier tweet on the cup tie.
I wonder if the ban fans seat finds it's way onto the ticket exchange.

I’m all for it but banning bottle tops really?
Seen more coins thrown than bottle tops

yeah , worded wrong.
Meant just a non albion fan generating all this to either be pioneers or just play the strict boss.
Like I say , wont effect me but it is getting a bit much all this.

Seriously?
Yes the tweet was sent to the official Brighton and West Brom twitter accounts and also the Emirates FA Cup one.

Yeah I'm not sure about banning bottle tops. You'd have to have a real luzz on you to do any damage with one, they're too light and would lose any real pace quickly when thrown.

Silly old bat
Yes, it didn't take long to see the offending tweet. Very poor taste, especially sending to West Brom and the FA. Imo the club had no choice but to act.
