Bournemouth suffered their heaviest defeat in their short Premier League history this weekend, falling to Tottenham, 5-1.
Though the Cherries’ performance left lots to be desired, the home fans couldn’t have expected even their own PA announcer to bash them, but that’s exactly what ended up happening, or so everyone thought.
According to Bleacher Report UK, comments such as “F–king unbelievable” and “men against boys” were heard around Vitality Stadium, leading many to speculate the PA announcer had forgotten to switch his microphone off.
The apparent gaffe went viral on Twitter, but it has since been revealed that it was actually a Tottenham fan-reporter whose voice, unbeknownst to him, was broadcast all throughout the stadium.
Barnaby Slater, a presenter for the supporter site SpurredOnTV, explains how he accidentally hacked Bournemouth’s PA microphone channel:
From the BBC:
Bournemouth have confirmed a conversation containing swearing which was broadcast over their public address system was caused by a Tottenham fan.Bournemouth said a full investigation was launched following the incident and “preventative measures will be taken to ensure it can be avoided in the future”
Remember this story the next time something like this happens. Because we wouldn’t be shocked if a prankster or two just got an idea…
