JAY BOTHROYD TO REPORT ABUSE | Football Transfer News, Football News, Fixtures, Results, Match Reports, Stats Jay Bothroyd: Will report abuse QPR striker Jay Bothroyd has pledged to report the Twitter user who allegedly sent him racist abuse. The 29-year-old England international received a message on the social network from the account of a user named Karl Martin, using the Twitter handle @KarlMartin16, calling him a "useless lazy n*****" after Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Norwich. The message - which Karl Martin has since claimed on Twitter was sent by friends without his knowledge - referred to Ron Atkinson's infamous slur against then-Chelsea defender Marseille Desailly. Bothroyd was quick to respond to the comments. "Racist people these people are shameful," the striker posted on Twitter. Bothroyd later tweeted: "Thanks my tweeps, I will report this incident. Narrow minded people can't get away with that sort of behaviour". The @KarlMartin16 feed includes numerous abusive messages recently sent to celebrities and other athletes. The user, whose profile says he is from Plymouth, has since claimed that friends tweeted the messages without him knowing. QPR would not comment on the matter when approached by Press Association Sport. iReader http://www.sportinglife.com/footbal...OCCER_QPR_Bothroyd.html&TEAMHD=soccer&BID=165
Nope, that bloke was kmoorsey10. This is getting absalutely discraceful now. Something seriousley needs to be done about it and i think twitter is the first place to look at cause its place where its easily do-able for these sorts of hidious comments can be made!
Not this again. Why doesn't Bothroyd just keep his trap shut. He'll be like Rio Ferdinand next or worse still, Joey Barton. Twitter is bad news when it comes to pro footballers. What does he expect? Everyone to massage his ego? Idiot.
Swords you really are a muppet. Why don't you go support another team because you have nothing good to say about our team. Go join vital and team up with number8buser. You'd get on great with him. But for sure you are a very small minded twat and maybe you should take your own advice and keep your mouth shut.
What gets me laughing is that these lowlife c###s who are so brave in cyber space wouldnt dream of saying these things to someones face. Same sort of scum who stand at the back egging everyone on but when it gets on top they s### 'emselves and you dont see them for dust. Total w######.
It's a very convenient excuse blaming 'friends' for sending them! Guilty by association, he should be nicked.
By having a twitter account you invite random nutjobs out there to send you a message (good or bad) and then complain when someone actually does?! Twitter is a joke. It's for mindless kids like rio f and michael owen.
Unfortunately abusive messages are part and parcel of social networking. It's still a shame that this sort of thing happens in 2011 mind you.
