WTF is going on with Evra and Marseille? (Head kick special)

Evra sent off while warming up as a substitute, for kicking his own supporter in the head. Pity the video doesn't start earlier, it'd be good to know what the crap was happening here.

Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

Just saw that on BeIn... Ridiculous! First time a player has been send off in a warm-up.

Actually I do know of another example involving a Brazilian player, but I might save that for its own thread as it's part of an amazing,wider story.

Apparently the Marseilles 'fans' present had been giving Evra personal abuse for the entire half hour that the players had been doing warmups in front of them - it seems that his performances for Marseilles have been, shall we say, less than stellar.
Makes his actions understandable, but certainly not excusable.
We're usually skipping around the function room in our long-johns by now...
