In fairness i should have said that nothing that was said after it became apparent he was actually hurt was abusive thats my mistake.
Can't watch the video on the iPad but I was on the opposite side to it. WJK was getting abuse when he first went down cause it looked like he was only play acting to waste time by coming back onto the pitch. When it was realised he was genuinely injured (a minute or two into being treated) and was being seen to by the order of Malta the lads all stopped shouting at him and he was clapped off by everyone in the ground.
I'm not defending anyone but to say it got much worse after the video is very misleading to anyone not there.
Whoever took that clip needs to have a severe word with themselves.Quote:

In my travels to Jackman i am at times embarrassed and ammused by the chants and abuse shouted by a number in the stand,even at times shouting abuse to their own players,just stinks of ignorance to me!!!!!!
I actually didn't even consider that at all when I first looked at that clip. Not that you mention, this is just a small bit improper.Quote:

The Limerick fans were angry enough at the time, so they lashed out temporarily. They stopped when it plainly became something more serious (as most fans do). Do not pretend for a moment that Waterford fans have never done the same.
The chanting kept going even when HE was being put into the ambulance.
Off topic garbage binned. This is not the place to complain about moderation, or spout bull about "libel" for that matter. If you have a genuine problem, post it in the Support forum.
I'd love to know where the idea that Foot.ie is "dying" came from. The stats for Foot.ie are actually almost identical to last year. I have to wonder where ye pick up this nonsense.
Back on topic now or I'm binning the lot.
