Hitting out: Konchesky's mum branded Liverpool fans
'scouse scum'
Liverpool
defender Paul Konchesky has been left
red-faced after his mother used Facebook to call Liverpudlians
'Scouse scum'.
Carol Konchesky launched a
foul-mouthed defence of her son hours after he had played poorly in
Liverpool's 2-0 defeat at Stoke.
Mrs Konchesky wrote: 'To all you
Liverpool scouse scum out there, never mind the cockney ****, take
a real look at your team. Stop living off the past, the team are
****. If anyone made a mistake, its the cockney ****, who never
should have left Fulham.'
The comments were subsequently removed and Mrs Konchesky has
closed her Facebook account.
But, not surprisingly, there was outcry among Liverpool
fans.
Les Lawson, secretary of the Official Liverpool FC Supporters'
Club, said: 'Comments like that are deeply unhelpful and extremely
disappointing.
'We Liverpudlians have been called worse in our time but the
only person who is going to end up harmed by those comments in the
long run is Paul Konchesky.'
The player, who cost £5million in August, has never indicated he
has regretted leaving Fulham and recently said he had 'been made to
feel really welcome by everyone on Merseyside'.
Red-faced: Liverpool fans were angered by the
Facebook jibe
But he is not currently a popular figure among many Liverpool
fans and Mrs Konchesky, who attends Anfield with her grandson, is
said to have been shocked by the nature of the criticism he has
received.
