A group of Cork City FC supporters have launched a fundraiser for two children's charities — with the blessing of Shamrock Rovers manager Stephen Bradley — in the wake of verbal abuse about the latter's son Josh.

The despicable chants were directed from the outdoor terrace part of the Corner Flag Pub, which overlooks the pitch, 40 minutes after Cork City’s 1-0 win over the league champions.
