No, but since the Cantona, Diouf and countless other examples, players have to be careful about doing anything which is seen to be retaliating with fans. I daresay that years ago if fans goaded a player and the player reacted the fans would have just laughed and treated it as a victory that they affected the player. Nowadays they tend to report it to the police and try and sue the player...
