They're quicker to name a terrorist as a Muslim than they are a football hooligan a Liverpool fan.
The issue with this whole joint statement is that it actually acts as justification for the worst elements of the scouse fans and their apologists. Both sets of fans have been guilty of being knobheads at times. For one set, it's mainly been unsavoury chants and a few bits of graffiti. For the other set, it's been repeated acts of violence from numerous members of the crowd. But they're both portrayed as equivalent issues, and you see them on Twitter, using the fact that City fans were chanting something as justification for violence.
It wasn't even the perceived Hillsborough chants this time, it was feed the scousers. And yeah it's in bad taste in the middle of a cost of living crisis, but the crowd tonight were chanting "Jimmy Savile, he's fingered your mum" on live TV and you didn't see Leeds fans reacting with violence. That's far worse taste.
