COLERAINE soccer star Eoin Bradley has deleted comments he posted on social media after being subjected to a sectarian slur.
The former Derry Gaelic footballer had hit out when he was subjected to online abuse after being captured on camera answering a call of nature during a high-profile game.
His side was knocked out of the Irish Cup by Ballymena United after a penalty shoot-out on Monday.
The semi-final was played without spectators at Belfast's Windsor Park but was broadcast live by the BBC.
Bradley was seen discreetly urinating on the pitch during a break before extra time.
His actions later attracted comment online, with one poster describing him as a "typical Fenian".
The player later posted to defend himself.
“Yes I done a piss on Windsor,” he wrote.
“Yes I'm a Fenian/Catholic. Some of my best mates are Protestants. So what. It's 2020. Grow up.
“Treat people as you would like to be treated .”
However, he later removed the post, writing: “I took down my last tweet because the person who said it had a moment of madness last night.
“A bit like myself yesterday, lol.
“Don't want anyone getting in trouble."
