It has been reported on the BBC website that Mark Halsey has made a complaint to the police. It comes as he received comments linked to suffering from cancer via twitter. Some have referred to him dying of cancer. Frankly I find this extremely disgusting. Whilst we may not agree with decisions a referee makes during the game, it doesn't mean that anyone can make sick comments about cancer. Talk about the game yes and I'm sure many referees will accept the stick that they get from the games from bad decisions.
Cancer is not a pleasant illness, for those who suffer or the families that have to cope with it and therefore to go onto a social forum and aim bile at someone who may or may not have made the right decision is completely unacceptable. Many of us have often slated the ref making a poor decision, it's all part of the job. None of us fans who are decent would have even thought about using personal insults or things relating to an illness.
Whilst I always been a person who believes in freedom of speech, even this cannot be acceptable for such a line. I hope those who have resorted to such pathetic behaviour will face the consequences for such behaviour. These fans are not reflective of the whole fans of Liverpool FC and hope that the majority of fans will condemn the actions of yet another minority of morons taking one step too far.
