The abusers whoever they are in the firing line. There is a massive outcry asking for them to be banned. I agree it is ridiculous to slag them off before the game especially Cox and Robinson but I think it has gone over the top. People should within reason be aloud to speak their minds and they should be warned if found about their future conduct but this " ban them from Withdean " is over the top.

The players cannot be wrapped in cotton wool, its a tough profession and they need to toughen up and fast. I personally think the Withdean crowd have been incredibly patient and tolerant this season towards the fans and Wilkins in particular bearing in mind the home performances and results. McGhee would have been tarred and feathered outside the Crown and Anchor by now with this years home perfomances.

The players can only use the " they are young, they are learning their trade " card for so long.

Its time to walk the walk, if they were playing for a club up North they would have had a lot more grief.

Come on lets move on, lets stop making excuses, lets play some football at home and lets start to win or it will a long hard season next year and there will be lots more " toys out of prams " and " I'm tellng mummy of the bullies " next year.

The way the players can prove these " fans " wrong is to win games and stuff the ball in the net and they need to learn that fast imho.

The rules have always stated that anyone using foul or abusive language will be ejected.

No, there has to be consistency so why should they get banned if others including Adam El Abd don't?...

if we were winning games then no one would give abuse.some of the football i have witnessed this season has been little short of apalling! i go week in week out to withdean and am intitled to my opinion.we can shout as much as we want at the players but the bottom line is, the majority are not fit to wear the shirt!

Yellow card and Red card system.

There is something on the Swansea Liberty Stadium web site of how they deal with bullies and idiots and smokers.

i.e. no mention about they deal with six foot plus unemployed rugby-playing ex-miners built like a brick shit house.

We can all get frustrated with players and officials and let out a few swear words at times and that sort of thing is generally ignored. But then there's allways the big mouth who has to stand up and call a player or official something along the lines of " you F**king useless C**t " with the sole intention of trying to look big and clever, Thats the type that should recieve a warning. The one's who should be banned are the twats who go there with the intention of abusing certain players whatever they do as proved with the Jake & Coxy incidents of late, No club needs so called fans like that.

I tend not to swear in front of kids though. I suppose some people think it's clever.

Just far enough away from LDC
People need to realise that the comments are nothing to do with the footballing ability of the players and those directed to Cox, Robinson and Loft were far more personal.

I think what I'm saying is booing after a poor performance is one thing, but a pre-meditated full scale personal attack before a game is another

I accept if I take little bulldog into H block he's going to hear people swearing and if the truth be told behind my back he can probably out swear most of them, But the place I dont like to hear it is in the family stand and thats the only place i've ever told someone to to shut it at the Withdean.

I would not want to buy a season ticket and end of sitting sitting next to a prat like that. Too many of them.

Foul and abusive language is illegal under the Public Order Act (section 4)
Say it to a copper and you'll be in court the next morning.
