Footbal Violence ?

The Gorse Fox has been concerned about violence surrounding and during football matches. With tomorrow's showdown between Man Utd & the Forces of Darkness, he is worried that things may be getting out of hand.

GF picked up the following, from the report on yesterday's Real Madrid game with Numancia:

Owen, at the 49th minute, sent a straight shot that hit the crossbar, and Figo, two minutes later, had the ball bouncing badly when he was ready to shoot Núñez.

I think this is taking it too far.

(Real Madrid reports are shown here. I expect this is only the latest result however, and have not found an archive of match reports).
