I’ll preface this post with an admission that I’ve tweeted some dumb stuff in my years as a Twitter user. We all have! Some people even make the whole ethos of their account “I tweet dumb stuff”! That said, after all the vitriol and denial expressed by the Cincinnati faithful following allegations that precious angel Baye Djiby Fall bit horrible, no good, shifty lying Niall McCabe in the face during last week’s match, I’d be remiss as a Louisville City supporter if I didn’t compile said tweets and the resulting fallout from the league’s Discipline Report for Week 5:
@warpedimitation @PeegeRiley @RealMikeBaldwin @USL @mhsutphin @realFatDave The photographer hasn’t provided the raw image to prove it hasn’t been doctored in anyway.

@RealMikeBaldwin @HCHS2000 @USL I won’t comment on hypotheticals. The @USL has failed to demonstrate conclusive evidence to the public. Nothing to comment on until then.

@fccincinnati the @USL needs to show what evidence they have! They have none! They didn’t even mention if he did or didn’t bite.

@USL @USL confirms joke league status once again.

@niall_mccabe11 Oh hey, you’re a giant tool.

As the city’s resident expert on biting in football, we can say with confidence that Djiby Fall did NOT bite that LCFC player. No bite marks

@LanceMcAlister @cincysoccertalk @fccincinnati @USL Does Djiby have an appeal process or is this another example of a power hungrydicatator?

@GrooveMachine @77_Dredd We’ll sit here and patiently await an explanation as to how you can bite stubble off someone’s face.

@RealMikeBaldwin @USL Where’s the evidence? @USL left that off the discipline report

Because his photo is photoshopped bullshit.
You can’t bite the stubble off someone’s face. That’s not how teeth work. https://t.co/ihDjr5RlWe

@bloosemore @courierjournal… yeah, if you could report facts instead of speculation and accusations, that’d be great. #FakeNews #Pathethic pic.twitter.com/Ed4cVuov7y

One thing we’ve definitely learned from this ordeal is that Cincinnati fans are expert photographers, forensic evidence analysts, and lawyers!
“Give us some photographic proof it happened!”
[photos of incident are published]
“THEY’RE FAKE! PHOTOSHOP! PHOOTTTOOOSSHOOOOPPPPPP!!!!!!!”
[It’s disclosed that the photos provided to USL were unaltered RAW files]
“#FAKENEWS, THE TOOL GUY MADE IT UP! THOSE OTHER TWO GUYS AND THE REF ARE ALSO LIARS! CONSPIRASAHHHHHH!!!!!”
Ok, that was fun. Now let’s go kick Tornotwo’s ass and move on.
