From the Daily Mail:
The full extent of Scumchester United's incredible reaction to their Barclays Premier League defeat at Chelsea has been revealed.
Within 23 minutes of the champions losing 2-1, half their squad became involved in a bust-up with ground staff - and eye-witnesses to the Battle of Stamford Bridge have revealed the full extent of United players' behaviour:
• How England stars Owen Hargreaves and Rio Ferdinand lashed out in the tunnel, abusing Chelsea staff.
• That Hargreaves had a furious F-word rant at fourth official Mike Riley.
• How United players including club captain Gary Neville swore at Chelsea groundsmen after the match.
• And the moment it all kicked off when Patrice Evra squared up to a member of the groundstaff and a 24-man brawl involving five United team-mates and Chelsea stewards breaks out.
CCTV footage from the stadium cameras filmed every incident and the footage will be sent to the FA today, providing crucial evidence for their investigation.
Chelsea staff have been told they may have to appear as witnesses to an internal and FA inquiry.
One staff member who was in the tunnel told The Sun of the mayhem which unfolded after the final whistle.
He said: "Some United players came in quickly and quietly but Ferdinand ran down the stairs from the pitch and was going mental.
"He was effing and blinding and kicked the gate at the bottom of the stairs. As he lashed out again he caught one of our female stewards on the leg with a heavy blow. She was stunned and clearly hurt by the kick.
"Rio realised what he'd done and said sorry but the damage was done. He stormed off into the dressing room still in a temper but came back out a few minutes later and apologised again and gave the steward his shirt as an apology."
The steward, Tracy Wray, who has been at Chelsea for nearly 15 years has accepted Ferdinand's apology.
The fury was not over, though, as England international Hargreaves screamed abuse at fourth official Riley as they passed on the pitch.
Hargreaves continued his rant in the tunnel and he also lashed out at the wall and then damaged the doors which lead to the dressing-room corridor when he kicked them open.
Both players were caught on camera and face FA disciplinary action.
When things had calmed down inside, though, it all kicked off in the most dramatic fashion back on the pitch.
Six United players — Neville, Paul Scholes, Park Ji Sung, Evra, John O'Shea and Gerard Pique — were jogging as part of a warm-down.
They went to run across the goalmouth which was being worked on by Chelsea groundstaff.
A senior member of stadium staff asked the United players to run further out on the 18-yard line.
One player snapped: "We'll run where we f***ing like." Another witness added: "There was a confrontation and a lot of shouting but nothing physical at that point."
Chelsea claim Evra threw the first punch but United say it was a groundsman, said to be Sam Bethell. Although, it has also been alleged that Evra reacted to a racist remark.
The witness added: "Some of the tunnel stewards could see what was happening and made their way across. "But just as Scholes and Pique made to run off, Evra lost it and grappled with one of the staff. He's a big lad and stood firm putting his arms up to defend himself.
"It all kicked off then, with Neville wading in and the others trying to break it all up.
"At one point there were more than 20 people involved. The whole thing lasted about 30 seconds."
The brawl was so serious that chief executive Peter Kenyon's personal matchday security chief, Ray Baxter, is seen in pictures trying to break it up.
Stamford Bridge tunnel supervisor, Michael Headley, is also pictured trying to sort out the trouble.
Both men — senior members of the stadium security staff — will be called as witnesses to the FA inquiry.
United players abandoned their warm-down routine after the fight and returned to the dressing room.
It was just 23 minutes since ref Alan Wiley ended the clash which saw United lose 2-1 and Chelsea draw level at the top of the Premier League table.
The FA have promised to get tough on players abusing referees and behaving in this sort of fashion - lets see them put their money where their mouths are now. Dare they come down hard on the glory boys of Scumchester United? I won't be holding my breath.
And the fish lipped Judas thinks he is a future England captain? How does being so out of control that you end up kicking a woman qualify you for that post? It's all very well him claiming he meant to kick the wall but what does that say about his footballing skills if he missed a large inanimate object.... |

Exactly. the FA and FL are the biggest travesty to English Football! All they do is bow down to the big pressure, ie, the top teams in the EPL and Sky...
As much as we may not like it.. Sky and Scum own the fa!!! |

| had an argument over this with my House Mate, he of course blames the Chelscum ground staff backing Tevez and Pique's claims that Evra was Racially abused, even when I pointed out that according to The Times Evra's representatives (agent etc) have denied any racist remarks were made at him.

| So Rio kicks her and then makes it worse by giving her a Scum shirt and to make it even worse its his - that is called being a serial offender. Should never play for England again. And be banned for a year.

THE husband of the Chelsea soccer steward kicked by Rio Ferdinand has branded the star a coward and a disgrace.
Tracy Wray had hospital treatment yesterday for bruising to her thigh after the Scumchester United ace lashed out in the Stamford Bridge Tunnel.
Ferdinand, who skippered the Red Devils in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat AND captained England against France last month, said he intended to kick a wall and hit Tracy by mistake.
He promised to send the shocked 43-year-old a bunch of flowers as an apology.
But Tracy’s husband Steve last night told of his disgust at her injury — and the way she has been treated since the incident.
He said: Ferdinand claimed he just brushed her leg with his boot — but if that is the case why does she have stud marks and a four-inch bruise on her thigh?
Tracy was really shaken up when she got home on Saturday evening and was in so much pain she went for treatment yesterday morning. He’s a disgrace and a coward and he’s not fit to be captain of England or Scumchester United.
Steve, 49, added at his home in Bethnal Green, East London: �Tracy doesn’t dispute it was an accident — but Ferdinand said ‘Sorry’ once straight after and then ran off.
He didn’t ask her if she was okay and never spoke to her again before leaving the stadium.
The only one who showed any concern was his team-mate Paul Scholes who asked Tracy if she was all right and said Rio didn’t mean it. It’s been said that Ferdinand gave her a shirt and sent flowers — but she hasn’t had so much as a peep out of him or Man United.
Tracy, who works part-time as a tunnel steward at Chelsea’s West London ground, has a full-time job with a Japanese bank in the City.
She is due to take part in a charity run in June but has suspended her training following the incident.
Defender Ferdinand kicked out in frustration moments after leaving the pitch following Saturday’s Premier League title showdown.
He was fuming after a penalty by Chelsea’s German star Michael Ballack clinched victory for the home side in the closing minutes of the match.
Ferdinand, 29, said after his outburst, shortly before several of his team-mates clashed with Chelsea groundstaff on the pitch: I kicked a wall in frustration at the result.
Unfortunately, I accidentally brushed a lady with my foot. I went back to make sure she was OK and apologised profusely.
Rio’s agent said last night: The flowers were sent — definitely. Asked about the four-inch bruise and stud marks, he said: It’s totally not true.
So the fish lipped Judas LIED about going back to apologise, LIED about giving her his shirt and claims to have sent flowers which mysteriously haven't arrived. And now rather than be a man about it his people are trying to blacken the name of the poor woman he kicked! How does his spokesman know she isn't bruised? Has he examined her? Is he a qualified doctor?
And then we have the glorious Scumchester United who disgracefully played the race card immediately after the incident even though their own player who was meant to have been racially abused denies it ever happened!
Totally, totally out of order. He should be banned for this. |

Given the voracity of Scumchester Utd's lawyers, I would imagine the super soaraway Sun will be watertight on this one. |
