A priest from Kilkenny in Ireland has told United and City fans to ‘suck it up’ while playing Liverpool’s ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ during mass.
Fr Tobin praised his parishioners for their ‘extraordinary’ efforts throughout coronavirus just before his final hymn for the day.
He said: “These times have not been ordinary, they have been extraordinary. But you have also been extraordinary good, and for that I thank you.”
He then added: “And for all the people from Liverpool or who support Liverpool, we are going to have our final hymn for you this morning and let the Man Uniteds, and the Man Citys, and the Chelseas, and all the rest of them, suck this up.”
Then the iconic You’ll Never Walk Alone blasted through the church speakers as he began his final prayers.
Some fans – definitely not Mancs – have praised Fr Tobin actions and the footage has been shared on an Irish Liverpool fan social media page with huge support.
One fan wrote: “We are so lucky to have Fr Tobin. Every Parish could do with a priest like him.
“He really understands people and is loved by all the school kids.”
One wrote; ‘Not a football fan… but that was fantastic,’ while another said: ‘That was great he did that! Well done Fr Tobin.’
