There’s something very insulting about Liverpool FC

Having just had the pleasure of watching Djibril Cisse score the winner against Spurs on his Sunderland debut, I switched over to the Liverpool/Boro game that I had been watching before.
And didn’t Middlesbrough come unlucky right at the end? Having battled all match, closing Liverpool down and playing some very good football, Liverpool came back to grab two late goals from Carragher and Gerrard to steal the match 2-1.
It’s not the last minute style of the win that just irks me - it’s the general cheating culture that has permeated Liverpool that everyone can see but for the Liverpool fans.
Scousers will no doubt cry out in protest, but the Kop are the easiest litmus test here: every foul is decried as some kind of attack on their players, every dive is a stone-wall penalty followed by chants of ‘f— off, ref’, ditto every offside decision…and maybe it was just the Fox Sports’ commentator’s ‘every now and then you need a bit of British’ rubbish spouted as always.
Almost every club does the ref-belittling, every club has its one-eyed supporters…but the Kop have made a religion out of it. And frankly, it’s vile.
