A vile letter was sent to the address of a Liverpool fan's home.
The letter relates to the upsetting scenes that took place involving Liverpool fans before and after the Champions League final in Paris on Saturday. French police were seen using tear gas as Liverpool fans queued for hours to get into the stadium.
The ECHO has reported on a number of incidents in recent days involving fans who were traumatised as they were subjected to brutal policing. Many others were worried for their lives as they were compressed into a number of small areas by stewards and police. Now, a letter posted to a Liverpool fan has labelled the fan base "bad losers" and said that "fans should be lucky that only tear gas was used".

The letter said in full: "The red wannabes 0-1 our Real Madrid friends. What a pathetic and laughable image the front of your hovel has presented itself as being. Bad losers always find any excuse in defeat.
"How many tantrums have you thrown? Have you lost count of the amount of toys you've thrown out of your pram?
"The police in Paris did as was expected of them: to keep any dangerous elements from within your obnoxious fan base well and truly at bay. Your fans should be lucky that only tear gas was used."
Allen Weston, whose parents received the letter in Norris Gren, has said he laughed the letter off but has a thought in the back of his mind that it could be more serious. The sales manager told the ECHO: "It's one of them, she's laughed it off but I look into it a bit more than my mum does because someone has gone that far to send a letter.
"Are they outside the house, do they know my dad lives here as well? With all the things that go on in the world you don't know how far these weirdos will take things. You hope it's just a letter but at the end it says that we should be lucky they only tear-gassed us so it's like 'how far can someone take this?'.
"It's a game of footy at the end of the day."
The 38-year-old was recently on holiday in Gran Canaria with his parents, with the family only returning on Saturday morning, hours before the final. He said that they haven't considered reporting the letter to police.
Allen said: "It's just something that you laugh at and say 'look how obsessed these are with our football team'. We're not putting it down as a target on my mum's house, I'm putting it down as she wasn't the only one to receive one of these letters. She's a 60-year-old woman, she doesn't really have a reason to be targeted."
