Footballers and their familys are easy targets unfortunatly. Hope all ends well and the knobs are caught.

 

[Blynd1]

Stupid people... all i have to say.

 

[Jak]

quite surprising really as he isn't exactly a huge star but ye hope the people are caught and brought to justice

 

[NunoPeixinho]

**** Thugs, hope he is okay

 

[Jack Fulham]

**** Thugs, hope he is okay

I'm sure Baird is okay, it's his mother that was put into danger.

Sad to see attacks like these still occur.

What is the point of doing this when you are obviously going to get caught.

 

[iNickStuff]

Very unfortunate. Stupid idiots who did this.

I hope this wasnt Northern Ireland fans tring to intimidate him from playing for them. This is just stupid throwing petrol bombs at the home of a woman who must be at least in late 50's, she could easily have been murdered.

 

[Ed Syers]

This is why I disagree with religion, because of events like this.

 

[Shay Given]

once again, religion leads to violence.

Correction idiots lead to violence, there was violence before religion
