  Well clearly gays are not welcome here so I hope people will join me in boycotting countries like Croatia with dubious human rights records for their holidays

  I'm sure there are currently homosexual or bisexual men on team. They should feel insulted and express such by walking away from the team or at least refusing to play. But, of course, that will not happen. I'm sure that if enough of his good players walk off or refuse to play the threat of falling out of their top 10 ranking would get Mr. Markovic's attention.

  This man, Markovic, is a disgrace and should be removed from his position. He honestly believes there are no gay men playing football? He is shamefully uneducated. The sporting community deserves better.

    Good on him for saying what he thinks.! Most people do but in this "politically" correct society, we have to accept. See if they would speak out in Muslim countries!! Gays are not normal!! Get over it. Don't try to change society. You don't create within-man or woman-woman. What can't you understand??? If only in Australia politicians would speak out like this!!

  Hmmm. Ironic answer. So you take one over the top reactionary statement as confirmation that you're doing the right thing by leaving the country? Hurry up and go. The only problem with our country is the constant bleating whingers like you.

  This guy Markovic is a national disgrace. What difference does it make what your sexuality is. Focus on football you buffoon - I hope you get fired.
