I remember when criticism of Keane started to filter onto the message boards and into the Football Echo. The vitriol that such criticism received from some of our professional supporters was quite frightening. Peoples sanity and devotion came into question yet a few short weeks later Keane's shortcomings became public andhis earlier critics were somewhat vindicated. Sitting at away matches has become a dangerous activity if you dare to loudly criticise certain players. I care about Sunderland Football Club and travel the country supporting them but it is not important enough to come to blows with fellow supporters over the merits of Craig Gordon. (I think he is crap by the way)We must remember that everyone is entitled to their opinions and should be allowed to express them without fear of violence. I am consequently a lot quieter at away matches. Whilst I agree with the sentiments of your argument I still get a little worried about the intolerance of some supporters of each other.

And Joey Barton is turning out for the Deckhairs at Shamrock Rovers on Saturday. His first red card of the pre-season?
