Oxford United manager Karl Robinson’s condemned his player’s actions.He said: “It is totally out of character.“Gavin is a quiet, respectful young man who is totally devastated by this. I have rarely heard anyone so remorseful for something that he regrets and knows he shouldn’t have done. “Clearly he had drunk too much, and we will deal with that too, but whether you are a footballer or not that sort of behaviour is wrong on every level.“We will sit down with Gavin today and we will remind him in no uncertain terms of his responsibilities.“We have psychological and behavioural support here to help him get through this. He is a great kid and I hope the fans can forgive him for one moment of madness.”
