WHEN it comes to sports, passions and tempers can flare out of a love of the game and loyalty for one's chosen team.
As such, it is not unheard of for violent incidents to follow in the wake of a football match.
Recently, a viral video of people throwing rocks at a bus emerged along with the claim that it shows a bus of Perak football supporters being attacked following a match in Petaling Jaya.
Is this true?
