I do find it funny when the person who has spent 90 screaming w*****, useless c***, etc etc turns out to be Usain Bolt, the moment the targetted player wants a word, face to face
Glad I was in West Upper on Saturday so March couldn't hear what I said when he missed that sitter
I'm blaming playing on Leap Year Day for that.
It was clearly a distraction for March.
Was anyone else shocked by Mourinho's appearance in the videos on line when interviewed. He looks gaunt and quite frankly, ill...
I don’t think much of Mourinho’s Response. He acknowledged it was wrong on Dier’s part but said..... we would all do it?
Really?
More evidence that football has lost the plot. Everyone needs to do a good old scouse ‘calm down’
I'm sorry but I'm with Eric here.
The abuse and personal crap that footballers and footballers families have to put up with is unacceptable, this type of reaction is inevitable.
Even at local County football you here personal insults levelled at people they don't actually know, have no understanding what they've dealt with in their lives and is normally done out of drunken stupidity, I think to challenge them, if the authorities don't, is the right action.
We are trying to tackle ''Knife Crime'' and ''Gang Warfare'' in the streets of London and other cities around the UK. And what you are really saying is '' Actually - No its actually OK to carry out Vigilante Revenge attacks if someone verbally abuses you'' - These Footballers are ''Role Models'' to our kids.
How is that likely to help ?

It isn't a vigilante attack is it - it's defending yourself / friends / family. No issue with this at all.
You can tell by the face on the bloke that was doing it he knew he was wrong, the look of panic on his face is amazing.
I think what I'm saying is this type of reaction is inevitable and the authorities need to do more to stamp out the abuse in the first place.
His family were not in Danger as there were Stewards around whose job it is to protect people in the crowd. And even if they were he could never have known the whole circumstances.
It isn't right to verbally abuse players in the way they are sometimes abused but neither is it right in any circumstances to take the Law into your own hands. Otherwise we go back to the Lawless ways of the ''Wild West'' Look at Mexico and the US with all the shootings and deaths. These type of actions start of with fists and the escalate to knives and guns. It is absolutely Barbaric and for a Football Player who's photo is probably on the walls of thousands of kids in the UK. It sets the wrong example.
Minimum wage stewards... when have you ever seen them put themselves in harms way? .
