Burnley boss Sean Dyche has told talkSPORT that Aston Villa’s John McGinn did make ‘a couple of remarks’ during their exchange at Turf Moor last month.
One thing is for sure, words were exchanged between the pair during Burnley’s win against Villa, it’s what was apparently said that has caught the attention of many people.
Football Ramble claim that McGinn hilariously took a dig at Dyche’s clothing, and added with it, used some colourful words.
Dyche wouldn’t confirm nor deny that he ribbed him about wearing the same coat for ‘six years’ but he did send this message to the Villa man:
“There were a couple of things said between us,” said Dyche. “But what goes on the pitch, stays on the pitch. It was nothing untoward. It was friendly fire.
“I worked with his brother down at Watford. Steven, he was a really good player. Very unfortunate with injuries. I was remarking on that. He made a couple of remarks.
“But honestly, they used to be standard. It makes a story now. It’s bizarre. It was nothing untoward. It was just light-hearted fun. I got no problem with that. Trust me. No issue with that.
“By the way, if he allegedly said that because I am not going to say that he did or didn’t, it’s a very nice coat I would have him know. And I haven’t had it for six years!”
It’s something that every fan is hoping is true and given McGinn’s character, it wouldn’t be a surprise if it is.
McGinn is a lively and colourful character in the Villa Park dressing room and that, at times, comes across on social media.
