Wojciech Szczesny: 'You look like a rapist'
Posted Wednesday, January 11, 2012 by The Sun
ARSENAL keeper Wojciech Szczesny today admitted he "crossed the line" when he joked that a teammate looked like a "rapist" and "paedophile" on Twitter.
The Premier League ace said sorry after his "banter" went too far when he took the mickey out of his pal and fellow soccer star Aaron Ramsey.
Polish Szczesny, 21, made the crass remarks when he commented on a picture of midfielder Ramsey dressed for golf wearing a tank top just before a round.
The Welsh captain, also 21, shared the snap with his 368,000 followers on Twitter.
But Szczesny spotted it and laid into the star.
He sent him a tweet: "I don't wanna be rude mate but you look like a rapist on that picture! lol."
Ramsey responded: "Jealousy is not a good thing mate."
Refusing to let him have the last word, Szczesny tweeted again: "Looking like a rapist/pedofile (sic) isn't a good thing either ;)"
Not everyone was impressed and fans could see loose-lipped Szczesny heading for calamity.
Twitter user 3offtheT said: "1 thinks that you are digging yourself a twitter grave."
Anticipating Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger's reaction, R_Wilson84 added: "The sooner wenger bans you from twitter the better."
Last night (tues) Szczesny apologised for the insensitive Twitter gaffe.
He tweeted: "I'm sorry if anyone was offended by my previous tweets. There are some thing we should not joke about and I have crossed the line. Sorry!"
Last night Arsenal confirmed the tweets did come from Szczesny and Ramsey's verified Twitter accounts.
But said the club would not be banning their players from using the Twitter, instead asking them to be "careful".
