Burnley Hides Fan Criticism After Everton Loss
4 Mar
Summary
- Club hid negative replies on X after 2-0 defeat to Everton.
- Fans called for manager Scott Parker's sacking online.
- Burnley is 19th in the league, facing likely relegation.
Following a 2-0 defeat by Everton on Tuesday night, Burnley FC has hidden critical posts on X directed at manager Scott Parker. The club's official account shared a video of Parker's post-match interview, which was met with a barrage of negative comments from furious supporters calling for his sacking.
The team's performance was described as "embarrassing" and "flat" by fans. In response to the overwhelming negativity, the club utilized X's feature to obscure dissenting replies, a move that was itself noted by users.
Parker acknowledged the team "fell short" and "looked very, very flat," especially after a previous 4-3 loss to Brentford. With Burnley currently 19th in the league and eight points from safety, relegation to the Championship appears increasingly probable.
This incident raises questions about football clubs' practices of silencing critical fan feedback online, particularly during challenging periods for the team.
