Made my day. Fair play to Gabby. Berbatov just scored a lovely goal too.

[Berober]

Aaaand Twitter are losing their shit because the 1D guy got hurt:

IS IT HIS BAD KNEE THIS IS SERIOUS

I PHYSICALLY CAN'T WATCH LOUIS GET HURT MY HEART JUST DROPPED

[Summers]

Directioners now hate Gabby forever.

Also it's 4 - 1 to Team Stan, 4 - 2 now.

[Summers]

Stan on the pitch with his family is one of my favourite moments in football. Just amazing to see.

Could bring a tear to a glass eye

I don't care if the guy is popular and annoying, levelling him with a rough challenge in a charity match is just stupid and against the nature of the game.

There is only One Direction that kid is going to...the hospital!

Few of the 1D fans on Twitter have said they are going to murder him. One of the fans is as below:

And it was a good tackle. He got the ball. Bit rough, sure, but thats football.

[Kaney]

Who's scored?

Gabby just took out the 1D kid.

And that's what makes him beautiful

Balde's tackles were silly. Gabby didn't do anything wrong. :/

Hope some of these girls online throwing death threats at him get the book thrown at them. People getting sent to jail for similar stuff on Facebook and Twitter, tis only fair.

Rough challenge?

I've hit Summ harder than that on a Saturday morning just warming up...

[Summers]

Fact, that.

Gabby even won the ball.

Anyway..

Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor was the subject of death threats and shocking abuse from One Direction fans after injuring band member Louis Tomlinson.

The pair were playing in Stiliyan Petrov's game for charity at Celtic Park when the 26-year-old forward tackled the singer.

It was a fair challenge from the Villa man, but Tomlinson was injured and his notoriously, er, over-excited fans took to Twitter to send Agbonlahor abuse and threats.



@gabby_10 i will chop your balls off

— louis tomlinson (@zaynoreos_) September 8, 2013

One fan told Agbonlahor she would "chop his balls off," while another threatened to kill him if he didn't apologise.


On leaving the pitch, the boyband star then vomited - further provoking the ire of his loyal band of internet abusers.

Yuck.

[Jimmy]

Ah, poor lad. He'll get plenty of stick for that when he was only just trying to take part in a charity game. And I'd wager his involvement brought in its share of money.

[Summers]

The stick is getting worse on twitter - purely because of shit like the #prayforlouis hashtag and other embarrassing stuff on there.

The Directioner hivemind can't even focus on one hashtag!

[Summers]
