I saw this comment yesterday on Twitter, I thought it might come back to bite him on the ass

Former Wales international Rob Page has issued an apology for saying his Northampton team's 5-0 thrashing at Bristol Rovers was like "men against girls".

Page, capped 41 times by Wales and an ex-Cardiff City defender, had locked his squad in the away dressing room for more than 45 minutes as his Cobblers side slumped to an eighth defeat in their last ten League One matches.

When he then spoke to the local media, Page said: "People are knocking on my door, saying they deserve a chance and when you do, do your talking out there.

"Actions speak louder than words. It was men against girls. That was embarrassing. My staff and players feel like we've let the football club and the supporters down."

However, Page's comments led to a welter of criticism on social media and he was forced to apologise, accepting his choice of words was "totally unacceptable."

In a statement on the club's official website, Page said: "Saturday was a very difficult afternoon for everyone.

"After the match I made a comment, when speaking to our local media, about the game being a case of 'men against girls'.

"I immediately realised that this comment was totally unacceptable. No offence was meant by it and I apologise if any was caused.

"This was an error of judgement I made in the heat of the moment shortly after a very difficult defeat, but that is no excuse, I accept that."
