Reason #342156 that parents should NOT be on Facebook.

In his never-ending battle with being a mediocre left-back, Paul Konchesky has involuntarily (I hope) found reinforcements: his mother Carol and her weapon of choice, Facebook. Carol?

As you can see, Carol Konchesky is not too happy with the way her son Paul is being treated in Merseyside. In one fell swoop, Carol manages to call Liverpool fans "scouse scum", advises supporters to "stop living off the past" and calls the team by a certain synonym of excrement. Wow. Pretty bold attack to target at a fan base that was labeled "internet terrorists" by our former owners.

Now I know that ribbing our much-maligned left-back for this is probably unfair. I'm sure he did not run crying to his mother, asking her to post an explicit Facebook message in his defense. So I will try my hardest to leave him out of this. Carol, on the other hand, I have a problem with.

Problem #1

Scouse scum? Seriously? If you want to get your point across, keep the insults and profanities in the confines of the Konchesky home. You simply cannot run out onto the internet with guns a-blazing hoping to reach a positive outcome. We get that you are upset. I'm sure plenty of hate mail has come into your Facebook mailbox. But calling an entire fan base "Scouse scum" and insulting the team will create nothing but negatives. Basically, you just committed internet suicide.

Problem #2

So let me get this straight, Ms. Konchesky. You tell Liverpool supporters to stop living in the past. However, you end your little rant with "never should have left Fulham". A bit contradictory, no? Let us all just agree to live in the present where your son is at Liverpool, home to "scum" and where the team is s**t. Or would you rather live in the past when Paul was at Fulham? Your defense of your son is about as shaky as his defense in Liverpool's back line. Hereditary, I guess.

Problem #3

Why are you on Facebook in the first place? Parents should not be on Facebook. It's fine for new parents. Awwww, baby pictures. How cute. When your child reaches the age of 29 and looks like a bald lunatic, it is not so cute anymore. I know you might want to socialize with friends from afar and such and there are privacy measures to keep your profile safe. But if one of your Facebook friends gave this picture to the press, what kind of friend is that?

Problem #4

Just take a look at what you are defending:
