Liverpool FC news: Alberto Moreno risks FA ban for Facebook post abusing Chelsea

Liverpool full-back Alberto Moreno posts picture accusing Chelsea of having 'no history' just days after team-mate Mario Balotelli lands in trouble

Bad timing: The image mocking Chelsea on what appears to be Alberto Moreno's Facebook page Photo: PA

In the week that Mario Balotelli landed himself in hot water, his Liverpool team-mate Alberto Moreno appears to have posted an image on his Facebook account telling Chelsea that "You ain't got no history".
The image on what appears to be Moreno's Facebook page shows him sitting laughing with a team-mate, who points and says, "Look over there Alberto, that's Chelsea's history".
Moreno appears to have reposted the image with his own caption, "You ain't got no history", a refrain often sung by Liverpool fans to those of Chelsea, in a reworded version of the "Chelsea, wherever you may be" chant heard at Stamford Bridge.
The image on the Facebook page followed by nearly 53,000 people, quickly attracted several hundred 'likes' after its posting at 12.46pm on Thursday along with a slew of comments, many telling the Spaniard to delete it.
Moreno's apparent social media faux pas comes just days after Balotelli reposted an image of the gaming character Super Mario, which included the words "jumps like a black man and grabs coins like a jew". The Football Association is investigating Balotelli's case.


Liverpool are known to have given their players social media guidance as a matter of policy, and that was reinforced in the wake of Balotelli's misdemeanour, for which he apologised on Tuesday.

What on earth could the FA charge him for? Offending Chelsea? Get over it, this is hilarious.

I imagine the layout of the FA's HQ like this: four bedrooms for molesting the secretaries; one large store cupboard for FIFA gifts; one boardroom for Greg Dyke to have a kickabout in; one office to have a cup of tea and a sarnie; and a huge, high-tech room where one pimply little twerp gazes at a row of pc screens checking on twitter, facebook, instagram and any other social media where a player might be posting something far less offensive than anything that goes on inside the FA HQ.
 
I'm hoping that, one of these days, those dedicated followers of fashion/protectors of their own backsides at the FA will stretch their own rules too far and some club, player or both will sue the @rse off them on grounds of restraint of trade or some such. All clubs sign up to those rules and, on paper, give up the right to contest FA rulings on them in court. However, the FA is still under a duty to act reasonably, so I would hope there might yet be grounds for a challenge if the FA apply the rules in a way which is completely perverse and can be shown to have done so.

I'd particularly love it if we were the ones to stick it to them. Release the Grabiner.

You forgot the Fergie Room.

We had our chance with Luis and Evra.
 
Not so, unfortunately. Having accepted the rules (ridiculous though they are) as they stand, which include a prohibition on challenging them in court, we could do nothing in that case because the FA didn't make any actual mistakes of law in the way they applied those rules. That's what would have to happen before any club or player could haul them into court.
 
The way I see it, the FA are like the Capitol, run by Greg Dyke, the totalitarian President of Panem, and the Premier League is the Hunger Games.

What I'd like to see is Katnisses from each club/district to rise up and start a revolt.

I wouldn't bother with court. The top clubs should form a union and then do what all good unions do.
 
The hacks on Sunday Supplement really beggar belief. Martin Samuel - frighteningly considered the doyen these days - denounced Mario and then declared, 'Liverpool should've just gone to Man City in the summer, thrown loads of money at them and signed Aguero'. And the others all nodded like this was incredibly wise.

Not quite sure what to make of that. Are they just taking the piss?

You'd be laughed at if you send that in normal conversation - to say it on a show like that is just odd.

When you're trying to make a programme out of uninteresting characters talking through all the points that have been made much earlier on internet forums like this then you have to throw the occasional outrageous remark in to get it mentioned in the papers you work for so the Boss thinks you're cutting edge.

I'm surprised the format is persisted with.
