This Has to stop. I wonder what the lad abusing Matt King would have been saying now if He starting Swinging punches Rather than Making Hand gestures???

I seem to remember a certain Darren Burns (incidentally One of the men who saved us in 2002) That its one of the things he'd remember most him being abused in a resturant in front of his wife and Kids.

Sort it out people its not right.

Sure was and since then in the papers too if i remember rightly.

In the end Burns was a terrace hero

Darren Burns earned respect from the supporters with his actions on the pitch. That is surely what anyone wants Matt King to do?

That was something that stuck with me tbh. I remember vividly chanting his name on the Fletch - he even had two chants in his honour - then hearing that. Shocked wasn't the word, I tell thee.

There's different levels of respect. Players have to earn the right to be regarded as club legends but they should be automatically be granted the right to not be verbally abused by people. What sort of chav society do we live in today.

But doesn't the earlier poster state that Burns was abused in a restaurant?

Fans need to get a grip and realise that they can't say what they want to people.
