Carragher Snapped Raging At Fans

Jamie Carragher has been accused of threatening to start a fight with a group of provocative Luton Town supporters on Sunday at Kenilworth Road.

The event allegedly occured half an hour after the Reds' FA Cup tie, which resulted in a 1-1 draw.

Reports in The Sun claim that Carragher was baited by a group of about eight Hatters fans wearing black wigs and moustaches like the Scouse characters from the Harry Enfield sketch show.

The newspaper reports that after being subjected to taunts and insults the defender - who captained Liverpool in the absence of Steven Gerrard - climbed the fence of their hospitality box and took exception to their actions.

"Come on - let's have it!" he reportedly threatened before being dragged away by security guards. A grainy photograph appears to show a Reds player climbing into the stand, though nothing else.

24-year-old Michael Sapsford, one of the fans in the box, is quoted in The Sun as saying: "This is a Premiership star behaving like a thug. He couldn't cope with banter in good spirits that hundreds of other players put up with every week."

Sky Sports News, however, are reporting that this 'banter' included Carragher being spat at as he and the rest of his teammates warmed down on the pitch.
