Trouble is, the actions of both RS and Manure fans through these two games are a blight on the north-west as a whole and even moreso given they are both perceived as 'big clubs' with 'storied histories' that the media will largely let the obnoxious banners, chanting, hooliganism and fighting go by without tearing either club a new rear end.

Manure and Red [Poor language removed] are a compost heap...philosophically speaking, how on earth Everton shares same NW geography to them bewilders even the most existentialist amongst us.
I think, therefore I am...thank Jesus.
The grandson of footballing legend Bill Shankly has been convicted of public order offences after being involved in fighting with Manchester City fans at last month’s Capital One Cup final.
Christopher Shankly-Carline, who runs the Shankly Foundation charity and is a director of the Shankly Hotel, today exclusively contacted the ECHO to apologise over his behaviour after being arrested outside Wembley Stadium before the match had even begun.
Carline, of West Derby, was convicted with two public order offences at Hendon Magistrates Court on Tuesday of last week.
The convictions, which come under section 5 and 4a of the public order act are issued when a person’s behaviour or language is deemed to be ‘threatening or abusive with the intention or awareness with intent to cause and thereby causing harassment, alarm or distress.’
He is required to observe a four-week curfew, keeping him indoors after 8pm and has also been ordered to wear a tag but did not receive a match banning order.
The 34-year-old claims he was protecting his friend after ‘banter’ with some Manchester City fans descended into violence, but says he ‘did what his grandad would have done.’
He said: “We were travelling into the ground and there was banter happening between rival fans. Sadly the banter descended into more serious name calling between a friend in our group and a large group of City fans.
“It turned ugly, seven or eight men started being violent towards my friend, I was worried for his safety so I made the decision to try and intervene.
“My friend was injured, he had a number of marks on his back and on his neck. He had a hooded top on and in the melee he had ended up with his top pulled over his head so he couldn’t see.”
After seeing the events unfold, Christopher says he became involved in the incident to defend his friend.
“I’d seen how serious and how violent it was getting I ran in to separate it out and to try and stop it, and more people ran in and it got more serious,” he added.
“I should have looked for a police officer but in the heat of the moment and seeing the level of aggression that was going on between the guys and my friend, I made the decision to step in.”
“I regret massively what happened, it’s not in my nature at all, I’ve never acted like that at all in my past - I have no prior convictions and I’ve never had any dealings with the police.”
Despite his regrets over his behaviour, Christopher says he believes others would act in the same way when faced with a similar situation.
“I couldn’t stand by and see my friend violently hurt - from my side, I think anyone would make the decision to try and intervene and help if they were put in that situation,” he said.
“It’s something that my grandad would have done. He’d have tried to intervene and help out his friend.”

Not sure his grandad would have done that, but I bet he would have told his grandson to sort his hipster hair out and stop being a complete tit.

they do realise that if klopp does anything of note with them he'll leave for a much better team and then they'll be stuck back at square one with a terrible squad and mid-table football.

sounds like a bellend of the highest order.
ooh my grandad is popular so i'll bring up his name in a totally non-relevant episode to try and attract support from gullible RS fans. Who rings up the ECHO to "apologise" about a scuffle unless they're purely in it for attention seeking and self-promotion?

Not only that, but does anybody else think that photograph of him absolutely REEKS of smug self-entitlement?
Not sure about wanting to wade in to protect somebody, but that picture makes me itch to punch his face until my arm gets tired...
