Sir, - I wish to express my objection to the disgraceful abuse of Arthur Numan and Giovanni van Bronckhorst during the match on Saturday. Much was made of the abuse which Neil Lennon received at Windsor Park last year, admittedly from his own "fans", after his move to Celtic. The singling out of players for abuse, merely because they play for Glasgow Rangers, doesn't do much for the hitherto excellent reputation of Irish soccer supporters. - Yours etc.,
John Meehan, Drimalost, Mountcharles, Co Donegal.
