Southgate blasted Newcastle boo boys for subjecting Mido to, what he claimed were, sick terrorist taunts.
In Defence Of The Toon Army!
Last Updated : 27-Aug-2007 byMiddlesbrough's new Egyptian striker was abused after scoring his second goal for the club.
Mido promptly gestured to Newcastle fans as he celebrated his 29th-minute finish - and was immediately booked by referee Mike Dean.
Southgate: "It's okay for 3,000 to abuse one person. But when the boot is on the other foot, he gets punished.
"In terms of civil liberties, I find that very strange. After scoring the goal, we had to calm him down a bit."
Civil liberties? Newcastle fans chant ... Newcastle fans sing ... and I understand this doesn't happen at the Riverside very often.
But for God's sake Southgate ... GET A LIFE!
