Ipswich's David Norris made a handcuffed wrists aimed at goalkeeper Luke McCormick after scoring the winning goal against Blackpool on Saturday.
McCormick is serving seven years over the deaths of 10-year-old Arron Peak and his eight-year-old brother Ben.
The brothers, from Partington in Manchester, were killed when McCormick's black 4x4 ploughed into their car at 100mph on the M6 in Staffordshire on June 7.
Experts said the goalkeeper was "at best semi-conscious" after drinking all night.
Are footballers really a thoughtless bunch or is it just my imagination?

It was a private message? That looked like handcuffs? Thoughtless even if it's true. Which I doubt. Knob.

Footballers are well aware of the fact they are role models for kids - this simply sends out the wrong message.

Innocent till proven guilty by the tabloids, eh gents?
Norris has denied making a handcuff gesture. In a statement, he said: “It wasn’t a handcuff sign, it was a private message.
“But I can see how people might have seen it like that and I apologise wholeheartedly if it has caused any offence. Luke’s a good friend of mine. But he made a massive mistake and he is rightly paying the price for it.”

Put him in some handcuffs, see if he's celebrating then. It's so unbelievably inconsiderate to the dead kids' parents.
