This. If the FBI actually spent 2 hours there yesterday, and there is something legit to these "threats", we will be hearing more about it, most likely in the form of charges. The FBI doesn't mess around and for sure doesn't like it's time wasted. But if this is the last we hear of this, and it kind of just "fades away", then I'm calling BS that any of it ever happened.
Why is everyone assuming Higgins is telling truth about the death threat?

I'd never advocate threatening to kill a person. Having said that, it wouldn't bother me a bit if the bastard got knee-capped the night before the game if he's ever scheduled to do another tournament game for the Cats.
I'd tend to think not. I had many private conversations with him and even was a mod on his site for a stretch and he was a pretty cool guy to me always.
If I'm the investigator/reporter, my first question(s) to Higgins would be whether he's ever received "death threats" before? From non-UK fans? Other refs get any?
And we need to distinguish between someone saying--- "I hope your brakes go out" vs. "I'm going to cut your brake lines."
