Nice wee story about 13 year old Rhys Porter who suffers from cerebral palsy. He was bullied on line after clips of him playing on goals went viral. It’s good to see Fulham, the club he supports, supporting him back
Had something in my eye reading this

Football clubs are generally pretty good for stuff like this, and I think they can play an important role in educating supporters in certain things.
My cousin's daughter was the victim of online abuse and Spurs & Harry Kane stepped in. They we're great at the time and have kept touch ever since.

What kind of utter cretin mocks a kid with cerebral palsy who posts a video of himself playing football online?
Anyway they shouldn't be the story here. Great stuff from Fulham. As said above it's something football clubs are generally good at and rightly so.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Then there was that wee Ryan guy at Easter Road today. Couldn’t quite hear what the boy had been through but it must have been a lot
Stories like that make you appreciate how lucky you are

Only picked up a wee bit, heard he has a pacemaker after a heart issue, which must be horrendous for a 5 year old, glad the wee lad got a clap from both sets of fans Originally Posted by LustForLeith

Sounds terrible - great to see the St Johnstone fan coming down to give him a bung as well. He ended up with a right we wad of cash. Originally Posted by Lovethehibs
