Rochdale boss Keith Hill has refused to apologise for launching a verbal attack on sections of the club's fans who barracked his players during the 1-1 draw with Bury.
Hill took a couple of days off to clear his head, having been angered by the attitude shown towards some of his youthful squad.
He told the Rochdale Observer: "If I end up speaking passionately after a game it seems to be a problem for some people.
"If anyone attacks my players then I am going to defend them. I don't like people attacking the players.
"I'm not afraid of them attacking me for what I do, but not young players who are trying to make their way in this game. I will respond to it when I hear it because I feel so passionately about it.
"Fans have got to realise the way they respond to players can affect the future of these young lads."
