De Gea spat at in United-Liverpool game

MANCHESTER UNITED'S tunnel bust-up with Liverpool on Saturday was sparked by a spitting storm.
United keeper David De Gea was spat at as he walked to the Old Trafford dressing room at half-time.

Players from both sides had to be parted by stewards as the explosive confrontation threatened to escalate into a full-on brawl.

Police became involved in an effort to calm tensions and keep the feuding sides apart following an explosive first 45 minutes, which saw Luis Suarez refuse to shake the hand of Patrice Evra before kick-off.

It is unclear who was responsible for the spitting but a source said: "De Gea was making his way to the tunnel and was clearly shocked to be spat at.

"Obviously the players reacted angrily and both teams became involved, before stewards managed to quieten it down."

Tempers were frayed again at the end of United's 2-1 victory when Liverpool substitute Craig Bellamy got involved in a confrontation with the Old Trafford head of security as players left the pitch.

And yes, I'm still boycotting them for their actions against my hometown, I didn't go on their site, a trusted friend did

General Discussion?

Nobody's perfect.

It was probably a drip from an overhead leaky pipe and he mistook it for spit.

The Sun making bad things up about Liverpool? dear me, i am shocked!

Slightly off topic, but somebody threw something at Dirk Kuyt or Suarez during the game, can't remember which one.

I didn't feel it was worthy of a thread, though.

That's a big surprise Scott, you claiming it's not Liverpool responsibility.

Evra got something thrown at him as well, while he was taking a throw in by the away fans. Lino came up to pick something up to put in his pocket.

United fans threw a lighter at him

You should go on tomorrow night.

Ref's report is in later on Monday, we should find out soon if there's any further action to be taken.

Class act is RR

It's funny because RR hates Liverpool more than he likes United.

And as if anyone actually gives a fuck on what he posts anymore, this is the 9999999th article about something negative about Liverpool, the novelty has really worn off.

I say its preposterous to let in these working class people to a game of pass the ball around, raise the ticket prices and have a jolly good time instead

Raising ticket price would be silly
