Unfortunately this seems to be the norm these days.

If people get wound up by chats from the opposition they are bigger idiots then the idiots singing the songs in the first place. Why were Linfield fans not allowed into the ground until the game was about to kick off? That is going to **** off any football fan.*

Cruesaders are having a decent enough season especially in knock out competitions. They've already won one trophy and into the semi finals of the Irish cup, only 5th in the league but their cup credentials will make them hard to beat next round.

Sadly the Derry match will be remembered for all the wrong reasons. One Linfield fan(who incidentially is actually from Derry) will be regretting going on bakebook due to this comment:

For what was a football match, very few of the chants I heard at the game were even remotely football related. Feckin' wasters.

A bit more on that:

... Indeed, Mr. Middleton; sectarian individuals will suffer lapses of judgment from time to time, especially when on the drink.

If such opinions were significant or widespread rather than "anecdotal", it would be a cause for concern. I don't think they are though. At least, I'd hope they aren't. The "lashback" wasn't much better than Middleton's original comment either. I encountered a few idiots on my Bakebook feed condoning retaliatory violence and intimidation of Middleton...

It'll be interesting to see if the PSNI do anything over this. They've brought others before the courts for "incitement to hatred" and considering the backlash he's caused by that one comment, shouldn't he face charges? Anyway this isn't Current Affairs. Roll on Shams!
