I can't tell if I'm more offended by the over reaction, the shameless dive or the fact that he was number "1D".

Be offended by all of it in equal measure. Also use of 'the fandom'. Also how the internet has given voice to these people.

If someone offered me the chance to play in a charity game with some pros I'd say yes too, I have no issues with the popstar boy.

If you wouldn't kick a popstar when given the chance, I don't know what you're doing with your life. But if you're on pitch with some pros and you aren't the one trying to send people home injured, I also don't know what you're doing with your life. Sure, picking on Gabby would probably send you home with a hosed leg, but don't sulk about it.

It happens all the time. I played in a charity game last year with some ex rangers pros. I'm a pretty decent footballer, but nowhere near the level of even retired guys. They roughed me about, but not out of malice. I just wasn't good enough and kept getting caught on the ball. It's clear wee Louis is probably a decent footballer, but when he's playing against guys that play full time in the so called best league in the world, I think it's only natural he was going to get caught.

Here's a few pictures from today. They're not great 'cause they're all from my phone but what can you do eh? We all had a great time, it was naturally very emotional but I'm overjoyed that I got to see one of my boyhood heroes get the send off he deserves. Celtic Park a couple of hours before the game. This picture doesn't really do it justice, it was mobbed.  During the warm up.  Thankfully we got a full house in time for kick off.  It was pretty clear at times the gulf in fitness between the current pros and the retirees on the Celtic XI. I wish I'd gotten a picture of Berbatov telling of Bobo for tackling him just like he always did, it was very much a "come on man, this is my living" moment. Ultimately subbing Baldé off is the only way to stop him clattering folk sadly.  Watching Bobby Petta put crosses in for Larsson was surreal, like I was suddenly a kid again. I could still watch Henrik play every week; my all time favourite player. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui9HYj3uQuQ 60,000 people singing You'll Never Walk Alone for Stan before the game. Not pictured is my dad crying next to me afterwards, something I've only seen him do maybe twice in my life beforehand. I meant to get the 19th minute cheers and the applause when he went off/came back on but... I was too busy cheering. Sorry! With regards to Louis Tomlinson, fair play to the boy. He's doing it for charity, obviously loves football, took some a fair bit of stick from sizeable section of the crowd but didn't let it phase him too much. He wasn't terrible by any means either. He was however tiny and looked it. He took a really sore one largely based on the fact that a professional athlete collided with his fairly slight frame. There was no way he wasn't going to get hauled out of the stadium after he was sick either because his management would have to go and get him checked out for insurance reasons (I work with these people, it's always the case). He is however going to be in serious bother at the charity match he's playing for Doncaster's reserves because the moment he's on the ball he's going to get halved and there's no way he can take 90 minutes of that.

Reminder that The Secret Footballer once wrote about his first tackle from a Premier League player http://www.theguardian.com/football/2012/aug/10/secret-footballer-undercover-premier-leaguequote:Other than the money, one of the main things that stands out in the Premier League, especially at the top clubs, is that a lot of the players are built like cruiserweights. They are solid, the tackles feel stronger and the tussles are that much harder to win. (Antonio Valencia once blocked a clearance of mine and I swear it was like being hit by a car. That's what I remember thinking as several fans helped me out of the stand and back on the pitch.)
