League One side Walsall FC received huge backlash last night after their official Twitter account with over 11,920 followers tweeted out a string of angry abuse to the official Wolverhampton Wolves Twitter account. The person behind the account tweeted,<\/p>\n
“@OfficialWoves Better look next time you six fingered, inbred, dingle bastards. YOU’VE LET US DOWN AGAIN!!!!”<\/p>\n
Walsall Football Club however stated that the tweet appeared after their account was hacked at 22:36. In an official statement posted on their Facebook Page<\/a>, the Walsall Communications Team stated:<\/p>\n “We would like to apologise unreservedly to Wolverhampton Wanderers and their supporters for the offensive Tweet that appeared on the club\u2019s Official Twitter Page \u2013 @WFCOfficial \u2013 last night.<\/p>\n Our Official account was hacked at 22:36 last night and a derogative and frankly disgusting Tweet was published. As soon as the club\u2019s Communications Team, who were at Molineux for the fixture, were made aware of the Tweet, it was deleted and an apology issued.<\/p>\n Walsall Football Club are taking this matter very, very seriously. A full investigation will be launched.<\/p>\n Walsall FC do not condone this type of behaviour and when the culprit is identified the club will be taking the strongest course of action.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
