Professional footballers they may be, but they are still young men who are out there trying to do their best for the club which these "vocal gentlemen" profess to support.

These aren't eight year old boys, Oldgobbin. Football players shouldn't be abused, no, but it happens and it isn't unique to the cow sheds at the Fraser Eagle Stadium. Targeted players should respond with their football and not be personally affected. As I've said earlier if they do get personally affected by such comments then they really are in the wrong walk of life.
