    That is seriously embarrassing. Someone in the media team is trying way too hard. The type of idea you'd expect from an 8 year old.

    You must be easily embarrassed. Granted, its a bit different and would have worked better without the letters and pictures but "seriously embarrassing"?

    Pointless, yes. "Seriously embarrassing", no.

    National embarrassment is serious.

    I cant believe a grown adult came up with this and thought it was a good idea.

    If I did a **** job at work and it ended up in the national newspapers I'd be seriously embarrassed.

    It's a bit **** and pretty pointless but it isn't designed to be difficult; it is just bit of an alternative take on the starting line-up.

    It could have worked if the average age of twitter users were between 6-10 years old.

    No publicity is bad publicity. Sometimes you do daft stuff on Social Media to get folk talking. Bet their follower count went up yesterday & it's absolutely harmless.

    It wasn't intended to be as difficult as the Times crossword - it was just a bit of fun with the starting line-up.

    Even then - I don't think the club came out of that in a bad light at all. Tommy Wright did. In fact, I think the fact they acted so swiftly in dealing with it meant those in charge came out of it with real credit.

    It's almost as embarrassing as claiming Jonno's pitch zones is Sports Science.

    I'm not bothered about how difficult it was.
