Aston Villa fans on Twitter have been responding to the latest post from defender Tyrone Mings.
This comes after Mings shared a post on his official Twitter account expressing his intention to get in touch and have a conversation with Dave Kitson.
This comes in reference to the fact that Kitson, who has launched a bid to become the new chief executive of the PFA, had to apologise for the “clumsy language” he used in an interview two years ago regarding the racist abuse suffered by Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling (per Daily Mirror via Sky Sports).
This post from Mings then gathered a lot of replies from Villa fans with their thoughts on the matter.
Here’s a sample of Villa fans responding to the post from Mings:
I see Dave Kitson has invited any players who may have an issue, to have a conversation with him. I’ll happily have a chat if someone can get me his contact details. This isn’t a witch-hunt, I’d genuinely welcome a chat.

Was Dave Kitson right to compare his own abuse to Sterling's racist abuse?
Yes
No
The clumsy language Kitson is referring to is when he used an instance when he was abused on social media in comparison to the racial abuse Sterling fell victim to by Chelsea supporters back in December 2018 (per Daily Mirror). Now that Mings has come out and claimed that he wants to have a chat with Kitson on the situation, this gathered a lot of replies from Villa fans who were quick to rally around their defender.
Go get him Ty!
