Liverpool fans dupe Man Utd fan into meeting a fake date
By Paul Kennedy

A lonely Manchester United fan made a round trip of more than 700 miles for a date - only to find out he had been conned by a group of Liverpool fans.

Stuart Slann, 39, drove 360 miles from home in Sheffield to Aberdeen to meet a girl he he had met on the social networking website Facebook.

But after a nine-hour journey to a remote farm where he was expecting to find "Emma", he got a call from a group of Scouse lads he had met on holiday who told him: "You've been framed!"



Stuart, who realised they were the same crew who threw him in a swimming pool in Mexico in November, said last night: "I've been taken for a ride. They wound me up good and proper."

The Scousers, who had several soccer-related rows with Stuart during the holiday, set up a fake Facebook girl called Emma to befriend Stuart when they got back to England. He said: "I was chatting to this girl on Facebook for about a month or so. I really thought she was genuine.

"On the night she asked me to Scotland I was on the road for about nine hours.

"And then when I got to this remote farm 'she' sent me a text to say that she was still in work. I had to wait for about another 31/2 hours."

Then Stuart got a phone call saying: "Do you recognise our voices Stuart? It's them Scouse lads who threw you in the pool. Do you recognise our Scouse accents?" Stuart replied: "Yes I domate." The mystery Liverpool fan said: "You've been framed," before bursting out laughing.

They then asked him: "How do you feel?" After a long pause he replied: "S**t."

Stuart told The People: "I just felt awful. If they had asked me to drive to Liverpool it wouldn't have been so bad and maybe I'd have seen the funny side. But to drag me all the way to Aberdeen was just cruel."

To add to his agony, the call is now circulating on the internet.
