OK, so I'm a Liverpool fan, but I'm totally disgusted with Klopp's decision to play an almost entire reserve team at Wolves last night. This is just another example of a big club manager completely disrespecting and undervaluing the oldest and most famous cup competition in the world, and Liverpool got just what they deserved.30 or 40 years ago you would never have seen half empty stadiums and weakened teams in this wonderful competition, and it's a sign of the times that so many big club managers have sold their souls to the sacred cows that are the Premier League, the Champions League, and Sky Sports; absolutely disgraceful.That's it, rant over.

There's no real need for you to be one!
Many football fans would be disgusted that you consider yourself a Liverpool as well as a Rovers fan!

How come your a plastic scouser? Do you put on a fake accent when you go to anfield? Assuming you do of course.
What's the problem, I'm sure Scawsby is a Rovers man who enjoys watching Liverpool, we all have our second teams

Supporting two teams is something I could never understand.
Maybe the fa should offer the winner of the fa cup a champion league place

I have clubs that I prefer and clubs that I don’t like (for the record I’m indifferent on Liverpool) but for me surely it’s just one club that you can support and really feel that passion for. I know people who just like football without having a team - supporting two teams is somewhere along that road in my opinion.If you want a response to your point, then here you go - the FA Cup has been “devalued” for years, this is nothing new. Liverpool have a real shot at winning the title and they’re obviously going to prioritise that. It’s a good opportunity for their fringe players to get game time and show that they can make the step up (on last nights showing not many can). Wolves also made several changes and on another night Liverpool might have got a result. Regardless, it’s not the managers who have sold their soul to the highest bidder - it’s the club owners. The managers just prioritise as they see fit. Do I think that’s a shame? Yes, but it’s not going to stop my enjoyment as a Rovers fan.

I think that fans of lower league clubs often have a favourite team from higher up the ladder, usually a PL team.My brother is a Rovers fan but his second team is Man Utd.My other team is Liverpool.I don’t go to watch them but if they were on the telly I would be rooting for them.Incidentally, I hooked onto them after they beat Leeds back in the sixties in the FACup Final, having liked the way they played.I know loads of people who have a second team.It isn’t unusual.If Rovers played Liverpool I would 100% be shouting for the Rovers.
I know Steve very well and he is a good man bit gobby but a good man, sorry Steve lol. He has been a Rovers fan for many a years and he is no different tao most people in having a second team, but his main love is the Rovers so give him a break
OK, if it's confession time allow me to use this moment as a form of amnesty.As a kid, I was an Arsenal fan. Right, that's got that off my chest.*Please note, I've always supported Rovers since I was about 6, and was 100% behind them at The Emirates the other year.
