I think Boniface responded very well - Female football lover
According to Eloghosa, a football lover, Boniface responded brilliantly and maturely.
She said:
"Props to him for his maturity in separating the person from the game, though, and as he said, even if it was someone else who "did the damage", it doesn't matter. Besides, there's no way he'd have spun it to be seen as the good guy by everybody."
