Speaking on his ‘Hard Truth’ podcast, MacAnthony said: “I’ll happily cover for the players and management as far as the social media trolls are concerned.
“The ‘unhappy campers’ is what I call them and they are around after every defeat.
“Most are young and stupid kids who say stupid things and who weren’t around when the club was really struggling.
“They’ve only had me in charge. They’re not used to only winning two out of 12 games.
“They try to put me down by banging on about recruitment, the lack of strikers etc.
“I’ll take it to protect others.
“Trolls won’t get me down, but bad performances and results will.”
