And frankly, if I was in his position no way would I want to walk out onto a pitch and face the chants and hate from opposing fans which will undoubtedly be relentless.

No country has the monopoly on rape, it's sadly a world-wide occurrence.

Yes, I understand that. Your opinion is bound to be different when you've gone through something like that. Love your posts too.

You can only have an opinion on rape once you've been raped? Are you serious? I have no problem with you either, and not to belittle your horrible experience, for which you have my sympathy, everyone is entitled for form an opinion. I've spent some time in the Middle East this year where rape is used as a weapon of war. I have an opinion on that too... a very strong opinion. The main one being that it bears no resemblance to getting pissed and going back to a footballer's room.
