Disgusted SPFL boss deletes Twitter account after calling out sick comment from one of his own fans

DISGUSTED Dunfermline boss James McPake blasted a sick comment from one of his OWN fans on social media.
The East End Park gaffer then appeared to delete his Twitter account after the exchange.
The unsavoury comment appeared on the social networking platform in the hours that followed Dunfermline's League One clash with FC Edinburgh on Saturday.
That match in Fife finished goalless, but despite failing to secure the victory, the Pars still enjoy a healthy nine point lead at the top of the table as the season reaches its business end.
Later that night, a Dunfermline fan took to Twitter to post a comment, which is too vile to repeat, that mentioned Pars forward Nikolay Todorov and McPake's family.
The disgusted Pars manager noticed the comment and fired back at the Twitter user.

He blasted: "Dunfermline fan or not. You are an absolute w*****.
"Come away from social media and come into the club and say that."
Other Pars supporters were quick to back their manager up for calling out the comment.
One said: "Disgusting. Spot on Jazza for bringing attention to this."

Another added: "The comments made on Twitter are absolutely disgusting and the fan in question should be sought out and banned from East End Park."
A third said: "Sorry you've been subjected to this James. Just know we're behind you."
McPake's account on Twitter now brings up the message "this account doesn't exist" when clicking on it.
That would appear to suggest he's deleted his profile following the unsavoury comment.
Having been called out by McPake and several other supporters, the fan released an apology.
They posted: "So sorry lad. Didn't expect you to see this. I genuinely feel s****.
"Didn't mean anything by it whatsoever. Meant no harm to you or your family. What you have done for my football club has made me very happy and I mean nothing bad for you. I honestly feel so bad. So sorry man."
The supporter later admitted a "severe lapse of judgement" and claims to have removed themselves from Twitter for the time being.
Speaking ahead of the match last week, McPake told SunSport how he to re-learn to walk after TWENTY-TWO operations.
The 38-year old was forced into retirement in 2018 after a being unable to recover from a devastating knee injury sustained two years prior.
He explained: “I’ve had 22 operations over 15 years — but that was probably the biggest one.
“I got it done as quickly as I could after I’d been sacked by Dundee.
“It was all related to the tackle in the derby. It was my left knee.

“There were six or seven surgeries following that. But this one was a complete PCL reconstruction. There was also a meniscus root repair.
“I’ve had spinal surgery, a shoulder op, broken legs, other knee ops — but this was the toughest."
