That was recycled from the Mirror and refuted by a BBC photographer. The journos sit nowhere near where the incident took place. The lad knows what upset him and he reported it plus there are stewards and police every few yards at pitch-side and up the aisles so I'm sure there 's plenty to go on.
Until something official comes from the club or the police then I wouldn't be prepared to accept anything printed in the newspapers regardless of the perceived reputation of the publication.
To be honest it wouldn't surprise me if someone had shouted something like that, there were a lot of bad idiots and day-trippers in last night which is the usual story when there are tickets left until the day before. What is odd though is that we didn't see anyone get thrown out when some reports are suggesting that 3 fans were ejected... there's usually a big kerfuffle when that happens.
