Carragher See's Red

THIS is the flashpoint moment when raging Jamie Carragher lunged at taunting fans – and offered to FIGHT them.

The Liverpool defender lost it over banter by eight Luton supporters wearing curly black wigs and yellow shellsuits like the bickering Scousers from ’90s comedy show Harry Enfield’s Television Programme.

Like the TV characters, they urged him to “calm down” as he jogged round the pitch with teammates after Sunday’s FA Cup draw at Luton’s ground.

They also hurled remarks about midfielder John Arne Riise’s ginger hair.

Ex-England player Carragher first shouted at the fans, who were in a box on the terraces, from the pitch. But then he leapt up a fence to confront them.

Carragher, 29, screamed obscenities and yelled: “Come on – let’s have it!” Security guards had to drag him away.

Luton fan Michael Sapsford, who was in the box, said: “This is a Premiership star behaving like a thug.”

Plumber Michael, 24, added: “He couldn’t cope with banter in good spirits that hundreds of other players put up with every week.”

No complaint was made after the game – attended by new England boss Fabio Capello.

But a Luton FC spokesman said: “There was a problem being investigated by our safety officer.”

Actually, it was nice to see Judas consoling that Ipswich kid after he got his red the other day.

But I still hate him.

What did he expect? The biggest thug in premiership football was rewarded with captaincy of the national team.

It would of been funny if the Luton fan came down from the box and knocked him out.

WTF were 8 Luton fans doing there after the match dressed as scousers anyway? Is life in Luton so boring? It's quite funny though.

Story I've heard is that a bunch of idiots were insulting him while he wrote autographs for the kids and when one thug chucked beer at him he snapped...
which seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do. If someone chucked beer at me while I was writing autographs for kids I'd lose it. I'd try to compose myself with kids present but I'd be fucking livid inside.

I'd take that story with a pinch of salt. When anyone linked with Liverpool FC does something bad it's never their fault.

Hillsborough wasn't their fault, it was the police. Heysel wasn't their fault, nor was the chaos in Athens last season. And that fan who got arrested for stabbing the bartender whilst Liverpool played in Istanbul, it wasn't his fault either. The man shouldn't have fallen on the blade.

I'm sick and tired of hearing about Liverpool's constant victimisation.
