Football can evoke passion and emotion like no other sport, but sometimes fans get so caught up in the moment they overstep the mark.
This appears to have been the case in a recent incident concerning Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah and the injury he suffered against Newcastle.
Salah was involved in an accidental collision with Martin Dubravka, the Magpies goalkeeper, in the second half of Liverpool’s 3-2 victory over Newcastle last Saturday.

Some ‘supporters’ took it too far, though, by sending death threats to a Newcastle goalkeeper in the wake of Salah’s injury.

Fans of Elliot, 33, replied with messages of support, laughing at the keyboard warriors for their inability to distinguish between Elliot and Dubravka.
The latter spoke of his concern at seeing Salah stricken on the pitch after their collision, saying he was only focused on catching the ball.
“I didn’t hit him with my hand, I didn’t punch him,†Dubravka said. “It might have been my hip.
