indeed, i wonder if said person would be as brave or as willing to make himself known to the club or email the club to apologise to matt king.

Well the guy has certainly just earned my respect. like it was said above it takes a big man to admit mistakes, Well done Matt King !!



I wonder if those Fans who provoked that reaction with their personal abuse would, even consider apologising..... i very much doubt that

Good point, lets wait and see if they do!

Spot on, apologising to those who had a right to be offended and not those who didn't.



King has received some torrid abuse from "fans", purely because he's the easiest and closest to target. As I've mentioned previously on here, King received abuse at the Catalans game, despite the fact he had done nothing contributory to the scores conceded.



Bradford fans may be silent

Saints fans may be glory hunting

Hull fans may be abusive towards other fans



But there is no excuse for being abusive to your own players.

I applaud his statement.



Now let's get behind him and the team.

He is a poster on this forum. I'm just waiting for him to own up and realise how his public behaviour reflects on his character. Matt King can't hide away from his actions, this guy shouldn't either.

Fair play to him, and should be acknowledged that he has said something, takes a big man to do that and has gone up in my estimation.

Yes I have been critical of him, and still stand by that, but can't knock the guy for having the round ones to say what he did.



IF 'fans' did run to the side of the pitch and verbally abuse him one Sat - the only question I have to ask is WTF are stewards there for - am sure despite the lack of any stewarding where I stand, if I ran to the boards at the HJ and hurled personal abuse at any player - am fairly sure I would be apprehended - quite rightly.

do you know the history of matt king

before he came too england

Fair play, i'm not a great fan of him, but he didnt deserve abuse the other day.

Agree I'm not his biggest fan but the abuse was out of order

I've seen him about a few times too. He should do the right thing. Or ban him haha!

Who was it ?



Fair play to King. I think we all lead our lives by the notion that if you apologise for your actions when you know you have done wrong, then that then becomes the end of the matter.



Move on now. If he sorts his head out, he could still be a very important player for us.
