Byrne berates stay-at-home fans

Swindon caretaker manager Dave Byrne
Byrne is unhappy with some of the comments on internet message boards

Swindon caretaker manager Dave Byrne has called some of the club's fans "morons" and "idiots" for their postings on internet forums.

The Town boss went out of his way to praise supporters who watched their 1-1 draw with Carlisle at the weekend.

But Byrne told BBC Radio Swindon he has no time for fans who comment on what happened without actually being there.

"They're making comments on things that they don't see because they're not at the games," he said.

"Callum Kennedy was taken off at the weekend because he had cramp, and when you get castigated for making that decision from people who weren't even at the game, that makes it very, very difficult to take."

Swindon have conceded last-minute goals in their last four games, dropping six points and all but ending Byrne's hopes of making his position permanent.
