Sorry if this has already been posted, I've scanned the front page etc. He offers them out from the safety of the pitch and makes a half hearted attempt to get in to the crowd

He is just alienating himself with the fans to force the club to sell so he can get back to playing some real football in Europe

£600 fine that's really going to dent his bank balance

Beckham fined over fans incident

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/8166356.stm

David Beckham has been fined $1,000 (£600) by Major League Soccer (MLS) following his confrontation with a fan during a friendly against AC Milan.

Beckham angered some fans of his LA Galaxy team by missing part of the MLS season while on loan at Milan, and was booed during the game.

At half-time, he approached one group of fans and appeared to challenge them to meet him on the pitch.

Security staff intervened, and police arrested a fan who left the stands.

MLS commissioner Don Garber said in a statement: "Our players should never engage in conduct that can be interpreted as encouraging fans to come out of the stands and on to the field, regardless of the reason."

Beckham has insisted he is staying with the LA Galaxy despite the hostile response from some supporters.

He said: "At the end of the day, I play my game, whether I get booed or not doesn't matter to me.

"But I don't like my family seeing that and hearing that (abuse), from an organised group of fans.

"I think it was disrespectful, some of the things that were being said and also some of the banners, but it is what it is."

Beckham, 34, joined Milan on loan because he was keen to satisfy England boss Fabio Capello's demand that he play at the highest level to remain in contention for international selection.

He is England's most capped outfield player, with 112 appearances, and is keen to play on until the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa.

Beckham said he could handle any negative reaction in LA sparked by his attempts to prolong his England career.

"It is not about whether I can move on. To be honest, all I'm going to do is play my football, and as long as it's good enough for myself and the team nothing else matters," he said.

Beckham has a five-year MLS contract, which began in 2007 and allows for him to spend the off-season on loan at a European club.

He added he will be available for England's friendly against the Netherlands in August, if selected.

"Everyone knows that I've always been available for my country whether it be a friendly or a qualifying game, so I'm always available," he said.

"I've spoken to (Galaxy coach) Bruce (Arena) and he's more than happy that if I get called up for my country he and the club totally support that, so it's not a problem."

Asked about rumours he and his family are selling their LA base, Beckham joked: "As far as I know, no. I hope not because I want somewhere to live (here) for quite a few years."

You can understand the fans frustrations though, he goes over there as their star signing and best player, on a massive pay deal. Then skips half the season because he thinks he's lowering himself by playing for them. If one of your players did that I'd be fairly hacked off too.

Thing is, it's been included in his contract when he signed (the fact that he could go to any club in Europe on loan).

This has been a pathetic deal for all parties concerned. I think Beckham made it with the assumption his England career was over and so accepted the sub standard level of football.

I think LA Galaxy and Beckham need to cut their losses.

I think he did it under pressure from the missus as she wanted to be near her hollywood mates and live the lifestyle, then he's realised he couldn't cope away from the game.

The guy is a grade A bell end who deserves everything he gets. The guys opinion of himself is so bad that he thought he could bring football to the americans and they would love him when some of the greatest players like Pele failed. As for england he should not have been in the team the past 2 years. Let him rot there i say.

This is so wrong. Beckham has managed his career brilliantly IMO. He's 34 FFS and he's not at the same level he used to be, but his professionalism is second to none.

With all the money he's got, he could have stopped playing football.

England midfielder David Beckham was involved in another confrontation with a fan during Los Angeles Galaxy's match on Saturday.

Beckham, 34, exchanged words with a man in an England shirt during the Galaxy's 1-1 draw with the Kansas City Wizards.

Beckham, who was fined following a clash with a fan last week, claimed the spectator insulted his wife Victoria.

"He shouldn't actually be wearing that shirt because what he was saying about my wife was a disgrace," he said.

The former England skipper was fined $1000 (£600) by Major League Soccer last Friday following a confrontation with fans during a recent friendly against AC Milan.

Beckham, who missed a part of the Major League Soccer season earlier this year when he joined the Italian giants on loan, was booed by a section of the home crowd during the game.
