Everton lodge complaint against United

[Jono82]

Taken from ESPNsoccernet.com

Everton have confirmed they will be investigating claims that Manchester United players verbally abused the home supporters immediately after Ruud van Nistelrooy's last-minute winner at Goodison Park.

Van Nistelrooy settled a highly-charged contest that had seen the Toffeemen peg back United's three-goal half-time lead.

It is then alleged that Roy Keane, Gary Neville and Cristiano Ronaldo made offensive gestures and swore at sections of the home support as they celebrated the amazing win.

Scores of disgusted fans stayed on after the final whistle to file statements to the police and the incident seems certain to attract the attention of the Football Association.

'Everton fans have complained to the club about the behaviour of the United players as they celebrated the winner and the police are aware of this,' confirmed Everton spokesman Ian Ross.

In a separate incident, an Everton supporter attempted to attack Ronaldo after he was brought down close to the far touchline shortly before he set up the visitors winner.

Quick-thinking stewards intervened before the fan could get on to the pitch but the incident only added to the frenzy which followed Everton's amazing comeback.

From the Simpsons (Sherry Bobbins episode):

Dont think its sour grapes,
but you're all a bunch of apes!

Everton are just p*ssed that they got nothing from the match. They wouldn't take action if they won or drew. But the FA would stick their noses into it anyway

 

[bbranco10]

i think its just cuz united won

 

[Jono82]

erm... no

Rooney was investigated for 'spitting in the general direction' of Liverpool fans last season, and from memory, Everton lost that game!

Hmmm...would the Man United players have had a reason to swear and make gestures, if they hadn't scored? Think before you post, Carlos-ass.

no need to start flaming that quick

Exposing a comment for its stupidity isn't flaming.

Well, if some douche tried to come at me and hit me, I'd sure as hell curse the **** out of the guy lol.

Seriously, if some douche tried to get on the pitch, then he just showed the kind of scum that are among the Everton fans. I have no problem with streaking, but when you get on a pitch to hit a player its just ******* non-sense.

heh, go everton.

 

[eddy_87]

well.....if the FA think it's wrong, go on with a punishment
no matter if it is ManUtd, Arsenal, Chelsea, or even Wolves, we have to follow the rules and respect the punishment.....
but if the punishment are fucking stupid, then it's an another story....

btw, i wonder why ruud went towards the blues fans side....

Maybe instead of filling complaints and such Everton should just not allow ManU a late winner in the first place.

 

[Help?]

Hmm don't undestand why Everton are angry and what do they hope to get from it? THey won't benefit anyways, it's not like United will pay a fine to them or something. Plus in Ruud's first season, when he scored against Chelsea and went to the Chelsea fan stand and started doing the cowboy shooting at them (the one with two pistols) nobody said anything. And i still even have that picture.

Maybe RVN or other Manc's did say something. Let the FA investigate, which will take 9 months most lilkely.

everton are just frustrated against the might of united(excluding the defence)
