Pic: This half Liverpool and half Man Utd scarf is everything that’s wrong with modern football

Half-scarf wan**r.

Half-scarf wan**r.

Football is a game that incites intense passion, divides the closest of friends and encourages blind devotion to your own side.

Unless you’re a shameless mercenary whose allegiance can be bought for a bag of Tayto but we think not.

The devoted and passionate nature of football fans was perfectly illustrated on Sunday as Liverpool hosted Man Utd.

Van Gaal’s men ran out 1-2 winners on the day with Juan Mata’s excelling at Anfield although Steven Gerrard’s uncharacteristic moment of red mist was the main talking point from an event filled match.

Even the most diehard fans of Liverpool and Man Utd will begrudgingly agree that there’s a certain degree of mutual respect for their fiercest rival but this scarf is taking things a bit too far.

This is just wrong.
