'I couldn't care less': Brighton fans react to Spain balloon video investigation

Shane Duffy, Pascal Gross, Leandro Trossard and Alireza Jahanbakhsh were shown in the video, taken in Spain as Brighton benefit from the Premier League's first winter break.

Although it is not known what - if anything - was in the balloons.

A club spokesperson said: "The club is aware of the video circulating on social media. This matter is being dealt with internally."

Brighton fans were quick to react to the news on social media, with many defending the four players in question. Simply scroll down to see how YOU reacted.

@jamsey55: "They've let themselves down"

@jamie_thejourno: "I quit my job working in a helium factory. I won't have anyone speak to me in that tone of voice."

@solmahonbha: "Just leave them alone they are just trying to have some fun as they have a break like Jack Grealish got caught doing it, Kyle Walker got caught doing it so just leave them alone"

@KieronPearce: "So what?"

@GavinHolland14: "Go on Duffy"

@wearebrighton: "Here's a question: Is "Balloon Gate" that a big a deal? Young guys letting their hair down. True, it might not look good them being out drinking etc when we're in a relegation battle, but lots of #BHAFC fans loved it when we won promotion. You can't have it both ways."

@dazzer6666: "Sake. Young blokes having what looks like a fairly harmless night out on a short break with the next game 10 days away.......nothing to see here......"

@Charlie_Gresty: "As long as it doesn’t negatively impact their performance and they show up back at training on time in a fit state then I couldn’t care less. Everyone needs time off work to relax and blow off steam, footballers included, possibly even more so given how stressful their ‘job’ is."

@kurtis_friend: "People are really going too far with all this, why aren’t they allowed to enjoy themselves? Really not bothered about it"
