Jay Bothroyd racially abused on twitter.

QPR striker Jay Bothroyd has pledged to report the Twitter user who allegedly sent him racist abuse.

The 29-year-old England international received a message on the social network from the account of a user named Karl Martin, using the Twitter handle @KarlMartin16, calling him a 'useless lazy n*****' after the 2-1 defeat at Norwich.
The message - which Karl Martin has since claimed on Twitter was sent by friends without his knowledge - referred to Ron Atkinson's infamous slur against then-Chelsea defender Marseille Desailly.

Bothroyd was quick to respond to the comments.

'Racist people these people are shameful,' the striker posted on Twitter.
Bothroyd later tweeted: 'Thanks my tweeps, I will report this incident. Narrow minded people can't get away with that sort of behaviour'.

The @KarlMartin16 feed includes numerous abusive messages recently sent to celebrities and other athletes. The user, whose profile says he is from Plymouth, has since claimed that friends tweeted the messages without him knowing.

QPR would not comment on the matter.

Negritos gona negreet.

Becoming a worrying trend to racially abuse players on twitter.

Such as shame.

oh no.. mean supporters.

I think it's more to do with the fact that black players are just jumping on the bandwagon. It's getting beyond a joke now. Irrelevant black players are reporting racism left right and centre since the allegations against Terry and Suarez. Funny how it's only arisen this past month or so.

I recall Bothroyd being called a 'lazy english nigga' by a Cardiff fan when he joined QPR. Rather than being a pussy and reporting him, he replied to the user and told him how wrong he was. He didn't think about getting his name in the paper back then.
