BPL teams Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea are currently on their pre-season tour in Asia. Obviously, their fans in Asia are super excited at the chance to catch their team in action on local soil. But let's not forget about the genuine football fans. Priorities are usually given to the specific team fans when the team travels to a certain country which is definitely fair and deserving for their fans. However, there are the "real" football fans who loves a good game of football regardless of the teams that are playing. Fans must always respect others who attend the game even if its a supporter from a rival team. But this was not the case when Liverpool had their training session in Malaysia leading up to the game with the local team. A Man Utd supporter attended the training session only to be booed and was forced to take off his man utd shirt. The Man Utd supporter did take off his shirt only to have liverpool fans to force him into wearing a liverpool jersey! The poor fan eventually walked off shirtless only to return wearing a Malaysian team jersey. Many Liverpool fans who booed the guy will probably argue stating that he probably should not have walked in wearing a united shirt in the first place. But when a logical point of view is taken in, the guy does have free right to wear whatever he wishes to wear and he does not deserve the treatment he got. Besides, he paid to be there just like the rest of them. Let's consider this senario even if it does not apply in this situation. What if he was not a football fan in the first place? What if he just randomly choose to wear the jersey? I find it absolutely disgusting that people actually treated him the way they did. Recently, Arsenal was also in Malaysia for their pre-season tour and i wore a Man Utd jersey to the training session as well as on the game night itself but the Malaysian Arsenal fans didnt seem to mind at all. I think fans should be proud that fans of other teams are willing to watch their team. That just goes to show that they respect the team. But dont just take my word for it. Here's a link to the video i came across in youtube which showcase what really happened at the Liverpool training session Asia Tour 2011 (Malaysian leg).
