Football fans who antagonise players with verbal abuse

Football fans screaming at players
So exactly what is the football player supposed to do? Are the meant to accept it because 'that is what he is paid highly for' according to these idiots who shout out these nasty insults?

In light of the recent news headlines I feel the situation has gone too far. It has reached the stage where so called 'football fans' can get away with screaming verbal abuse, often about the players family.

| 05-5-2008 | Yeah, come on, these guys are paid a small fortune. I'd happily take all the shouted insults at a football match for a fraction of what they earn. It's the mentality of the game anyway! | Bruce |
| 01-2-2008 | For a footballers wages,I would willingly run around a football pitch and let the crowd shout at me and call me anything that came into their heads. | Handyman |
| 28-1-2008 | Well they should put up with it, it get picked on at times for my wealth, and I put up with it. I don't work becuase I am still at school but my parents do, and they put in alot more hours than these 'footballers' do, hell I spend more than 90minutes in the gym doing a hell of a lot more...more | Lee |
| 26-1-2008 | Adey...the point being that most of the unsavioury comments come about as a result of people feeling passionate about their team. It is common or this passion to spill over into abuse and it will never stop happening. As long as the man in the street can afford to go to football matches there will b...more | Footy fan |
| 26-1-2008 | I should have made my point a little clearer than I did,so here it is.I DID NOT say that you believe abusive chants to be acceptable so why I should apologise for something I havent done is beyond me.You have made it obvious that you do not agree with abusing players,but my point was in your origina...more | adey |
| 25-1-2008 | Adey...take a minute out of your busy day and read my post again.
When done please apologise and admit that I clearly stated that I do not find personal abuse to be acceptable. I said that it is reasonable to criticise players for under performing etc. At no time did I condone personal attacks.

| 25-1-2008 | I agree with Tomo.There is a big difference between supporting your own team and abusing an opposition player with the kind of chants he mentioned."A footy fan" like the one on here seems to have missed that point somewhat.Before you bracket me as someone else who has never been to a game,...more | Adey |
| 25-1-2008 | Tomo, I clearly said in my post that when it gets personal it is not okay! Read first-criticise later! | Footy fan |
| 24-1-2008 | I'm Inclined to agree with David Mellor I can't stand football with a passion, I find it the dullest most boring game around, but a lot of people seem to like it just wish they would stop banging on about David Beckham every minute of the waking day. | Jonny |
| 24-1-2008 | I'd rather throw my money in the lake, at least I'm not squandering it!
They aren't worth a penny of my hard earned money. All these idiots that pay silly amounts of money to see them kick a pig's bladder about for ninety minutes need protecting from their own stupidity.

| 24-1-2008 | Dear 'footy fan' let me first start by saying far from reading rubbish in the media as you say, the first game I attended was in 1973 and since then have been to hundreds of games and visited 32 grounds in the UK, attended the the world cup finals in Italy along with numerous internationals...more | Tomo |
| 24-1-2008 | I don't think there is anything wrong in verbally criticising a player that is not performing but it should not get into the realms of a personal attack. As football supporters we have a right to criticise and make our displeasure known but we don't have the right to insult people.
Its fair...more | A footy fan |
