Liverpool fans almost unanimous in lambasting ‘Rodgers Out’ banner as an embarrassment

Like the manager or hate the manager, this is not the Liverpool way.

Anfield isn't known for protests against bosses. It gets behind its team, it supports its staff and players. Liverpool supporters are supposed to be just that, supporters of Liverpool. They're not supposed to be flying airplanes over the stadium with messages against the current regime - one that almost won the league last year. And, although that 'Rodgers Out' protest did happen yesterday at QPR, fans of the club have since hit out at the actions of a minority. It started with Jamie Carragher initially calling for a bit of cop on. https://twitter.com/Carra23/status/594483684624990209 He then brandished the protest that did go ahead as a 'joke'. https://twitter.com/Carra23/status/594585601078329344 But he wasn't long in finding backers who weren't happy with the actions. https://twitter.com/SamMcGuire90/status/594469348682661888 https://twitter.com/MikeHassey_LFC/status/594468266740944897 https://twitter.com/ThisIsntRiaz/status/594461080153362434 https://twitter.com/schwerziLFC/status/594553308729233409 https://twitter.com/steviemcnally/status/594509042799738880 https://twitter.com/JasonRoberts21/status/594504558010867712 https://twitter.com/LFC_Tonks/status/594503458125938688 https://twitter.com/Paddy_Robo/status/594497916854763520 https://twitter.com/ZIYAAD_LFC/status/594488848882790402 https://twitter.com/iKoppie/status/594531933457149952 https://twitter.com/istanbul2005lfc/status/594519503247147009 https://twitter.com/wardhorner9/status/594765899690803200 https://twitter.com/Gembob10/status/594505426030481408 But Brendan Rodgers had a simple response to the protest. And it really was as simple as pointing to 12 months ago when they were just one result off winning their first ever Premier League title. "I thought it was Rafa's [Benitez] agent," he joked when asked about the banner. "Football has short memories. We sat here last year and nearly won the league." There were no banners then.
