Bednar shocked at Palace sledging

Last updated : 10 October 2009 By Palace Reporter
Bednar was back in the W.B.A side after a three month suspension for  alleged involvement in drugs.

"Crystal Palace were disgraceful," he said.

"It was seven of them at me for the whole game. They were shouting, 'you are a drug dealer' and another said, 'have you got any drugs?'

He added in The Sun: "That was really disappointing - particularly the captain, Shaun Derry, who was the worst."

Bednar accepts he is likely to be targeted by the opposition, but is adamant that he will be able to handle the attention.

He said: "It was like, 'wow'. I was very disappointed. They (Palace) were the first, so I was disappointed. Now, I'm ready for it.

"I can handle the players but I will have to live with it for a while longer. I don't want people to forget. It will be with me for the rest of my life."
