ROBBIE Fowler could find himself in hot water with the Football Association after a row with Sheffield United supporters during the aftermath of Tuesday's game at Bramall Lane.

The Cardiff City striker, who scored a controversial penalty during the 3-3 draw with Bryan Robson's side, was allegedly involved in a verbal altercation with at least two home fans as he made his way from the stadium to the team bus.

Eyewitnesses say that Fowler and his team mate Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink were singled out for particular attention by United fans at the players' entrance.

But unlike the former Holland international, they claim that Fowler swore and responded in a manner which has prompted one to write a letter to Soho Square demanding that officials launch an investigation into his conduct.

Surley when this happens outside the ground then the person or people who "singled out Fowler and Hasselbaink" should be the ones in trouble here.

Yelling abuse at players (within reason) inside the ground is part of football. The players should be thick skinned enough to deal with that. They should not have to face abuse outside the ground.

Hopefully any correspondance to the Football Association with will be dealt with in the appropriate manner. By being thrown in the bin.

Oh and p.s. There was nothing controversial about the penalty. Morgan fouled Johnson. Penalty kick. Simple as.
