The Football Federation of Australia has been forced to ask fans to stop making death threats against sports journalist Rebecca Wilson.

Two of Sydney's leading radio commentators, Alan Jones and Ray Hadley, were also targets of online hate following the naming of nearly 200 people allegedly banned from A League matches.

Rebecca Wilson's Sunday column identified fans banned from A-League matches some of whom, she suggested, act like terrorists.



The social media response from some has been to terrorise.



"Rebecca Wilson found dead in a bathtub full of tears," read one post.

"How do you make a ***** moan? Give her a job a a journalist," read another.

"Be better if she slit her wrists the ****" - the posts continued.

Many are too graphic to repeat online, even worse, death threats, which police are investigating.



"Some of them have threatened to kill me, to maim me, to castrate me... vicious, it's been violent," Wilson said.



Broadcaster Alan Jones is under siege himself for creating the terrorist tag and backing Wilson - but he's not backing down.



"All these people have done by their behaviour is to prove the validity of the things that Rebecca and I were talking about on air," he said.

Wilson, Jones and fellow broadcaster Ray Hadley are taking exception to being parodied by the Wanderers fan known as 'Hektic Hektor'.



"You are a sick, sick man," he said to Jones.



"You alcoholic," to Wilson, and;



"You are a crap commentator," to Hadley.



To all three: "My neck is itchy," as he motions his hand across his throat.
