While the shirt is clearly wrong, wrong, wrong, violence is no answer. Thankfully, a more suitable solution is available. Bummers, it's time to make your "one phone call"...
What would have happened if someone with a scouse stepdad and Hull parents had gone in the Kop End with a similar shirt on? As or Airlie's condemnation of tribalism, why don't we see half and half's at the biggest Derby in the universe and everywhere else?

Ignoring that (I misread Castro's comment), would you care to explain what is wrong with tribalism (AKA supporting one team, your local team) in football again please?
Why would I need to explain that? I haven't suggested there is anything wrong with tribalism. Someone pointed out that football/sport was the only acceptable form of tribalism, I named others (politics, religion...etc), they said they weren't acceptable so I pointed out that's merely an opinion and some people will hold a similar opinion about football. I never gave my opinion.
You think Leeds v Warrington and Wigan v Saint scare the biggest derbies in the universe and everywhere else? Don't tell Gwillym, HDM or RH, they will have a nervous breakdown. No answer to what would have happened to someone wearing a half and half shirt in the Kop? No thoughts as to why no one wears half and half FC/Rovers shirts to show their lack of this awful tribalism you disapprove of?
Scarves sold on the day of a match, crap as they are, are a different thing to a half and half shirt. She would have suffered grief for that with virtually any other club. Only with our insipid here for the PL new arrival fans would she jot get the abuse she's richly deserves.
I don't have a clue, I've never been in the Kop with someone wearing a half and half shirt, to answer that would just be unfounded speculation. Quote where I have said I disapprove of tribalism, otherwise the question is redundant.
Who do they cheer for in the game then? Or do they just celebrate goals scored by both teams? That's horrible.
Not only is this a embarrassing and total nonsensically. It's all so against the law. She should of been thrown out the ground and she could of caused a riot. Either she is very naive, stupid or a WUM. But she's got a 5 seconds of fame on social media, that's what it's about isn't? Maybe people who saying this is okay would in favour of abandoning home and away seating and having a open stadium for anyone to sit anywhere?(I know this technically against the law) What makes football/sport is it brings out the tribalism out in people. The us against them mentality which is slowly being eradicated by the Premier League Brand. If Man Utd fan did the same in the kop they'd have there head kicked in. But seems acceptable for us because we're a small club.
Of course you have a clue. You know full well that if she managed to get on the Kop wearing that (if, as other clubs aren't as soft as ours about this flouting of ground regulations) she would have suffered widespread abuse and ended up being escorted out. But you don't want to admit it hence the pathetic "I haven't been on the Kop..." nonsense. I haven't been to the Sahara or Antarctica but I know one is full of sand and the other full of snow. Presumably you don't.
She may well do, but unless it happens its still by definition speculation. No comment on the tribalism accusation?
Some of you seem to either be missing the point that this was at Anfield. Not the KC. Or, more likely, you're choosing to ignore it. Only "super fans" go to away games, not the plastics or PLWs. So, this surely reflects on them?
And that's the point - she shouldnt have got in the away end. Even if the stewards didnt stop her, our fans should have. Or if that's overly dramatic, at least make her cover it up.
