00:00Bristol Rovers head coach Daryl Clarke has condemned abuse targeted at player Isaac Hutchinson.
00:07Listen, it's disgraceful to be honest with you.
00:10I mean, it's a society today, isn't it?
00:13Sometimes it stinks, but listen, Isaac's got full support and the family.
00:18I've touched base with Isaac and obviously you can see with the club's team
00:22none of that will be tolerated, what we want to hear or see.
00:27So I wish Isaac all the best in his loan move at Cheltenham and I hope his family's OK.
00:33Yeah, absolutely. The fact that he's at Cheltenham doesn't mean he doesn't still get the support of the football club.
00:37No, of course, of course. Listen, I've always said this and it's not just football, by the way.
00:43It's a society problem. It's a social media problem that's been there now for numerous years.
00:47More needs to be done on that aspect of it.
00:50People can hide behind phones and messages and more needs to be done about that.
00:54So I don't think it's just a football thing.
00:56So we need to eradicate it out of the world, but I can't see it going anywhere soon.
01:03You know, and one of the big things for me is that you've got to be mindful
01:09that when sometimes you put yourself out there that the abuse is going to come.
01:14And Bristol Rovers have confirmed the signing of Stefan Negri, who arrived on deadline day.
01:20Oh, thank you very much. I'm over the moon to get it done.
01:25Obviously, I can't wait to play in front of the fans and show what I'm able to do.
01:29Yeah, it's a deadline day move. It's a really busy day for you.
01:32Yeah, no, 100%. Like any normal deadline day, it's back and forth, back and forth.
01:37But it's all done now, so I'm happy to be here.
01:41Yeah, it's a really promising defender. How did you know that Bristol Rovers was the right step for you in your career?
01:46Their ambitions, they're obviously looking to push to get back into League One.
01:50I want to just play at the highest level and get promoted and help the team.
01:54So I had to chat with the gaffer as well. And what he's about is suits me to a T.
01:59Yeah, you mentioned those early conversations there.
02:02Was that a really big part of it, feeling that early connection?
02:05100%, 100%. Chatting at the start and showing him that he wants me and he trusts in my ability and all that.
02:13And obviously the ambition of the club.
