Sam Allardyce has called on authorities to do more after Patrick Bamford was targeted with abuse on social media, after he missed a penalty during Leeds' game against Newcastle on Saturday

It was shocking that people threaten his wife and daughter, some people are sick

Easily solved remove yourself from social media 🤷‍♂️

Im not a leeds fan buh i feel for them dude has been poor

As if great Platini did not miss a world cup penalty

Not sure he would have cared a few weeks back!

Leeds fans are scum. The end.

Would rather the plod concentrated on real crime rather than a bit of name calling

Don’t read the stuff if it offends you. The alternative is censorship and the death of free speech. People do say nasty things when their feelings are hurt. It’s just a job to a footballer, lots of fans think it’s real.

Let's just forget all the stuff about Bamford and get behind our team in their bid to secure the six points which may save us from relegation starting tomorrow with west Ham.

There are a minority of football fans who are just disgusting We all love football, but it's just a game I wish those idiots would grow up
