 Carragher was captaining Liverpool at Kenilworth |
Jamie Carragher has defended his actions after Liverpool's FA Cup match at Luton when he was abused by fans. The defender was pictured climbing a barrier to confront supporters who had thrown beer at him during a warm-down.
Carragher said: "A few words were said and someone threw a glass of beer over me, so it wasn't the end of the world but you react in that split second.
"No-one spat at me - I want to put that straight. I don't want whoever did it getting more criticism than necessary."
Neither the Football Association or local police received complaints after the incident which followed a 1-1 draw at Kenilworth in the FA Cup third round.
Carragher added: "I just reacted. People from Liverpool have got something about them and if they're not happy about something they let you know."
