Pompey have given their response to weekend reports of a training ground bust-up.

The Blues have delivered a tongue-in-cheek riposte to suggestions of a fight between interim head coach Simon Bassey and midfielder Ryan Tunnicliffe.

A rather dubious Twitter account stated on Saturday the midfielder, who started in the FA Cup defeat at Spurs, had a set-to with the Londoner who is currently at the helm.

The tweet spoke of Tunnicliffe being pinned to the wall by Bassey, saying ‘you’ve got two honest blokes the sack’ - a reference to Danny and Nicky Cowley, who left Fratton Park last week.

The response came in the shape of a tweet from striker Colby Bishop, who simply shared a picture of Bassey and Tunnicliffe enjoying a coffee, as they travel north for tomorrow’s Papa John’s Trophy clash at Bolton.

Pompey joker Joe Pigott was straight into the replies saying ‘gutted I missed this’, as he spoke of not seeing the fictional incident.

Blues fans also had their say with @danie_son79 adding: ‘You need better sources son.’

Others wanted action taken against the ‘reporter’ with @MattioPonto83 saying: ‘Don’t let this ‘reporter’ near our club ever again pls. Not even on volunteer litter picking day!’
