'Scouse scum!' Konchesky faces fans backlash after jibe on mum's Facebook page
Family affair: Konchesky has failed to win over the Kop since his £4m move
Paul Konchesky's already strained relationship with the Liverpool fans has been dealt another blow after it emerged that his mum apparently called them 'scouse scum' on Facebook.
On the post, Konchesky's mother Carol also appeared to stick the boot into the team, calling Roy Hodgson's side 's***'.
The Facebook post was penned in the early hours of November 14 after Liverpool's disappointing 2-0 defeat to Stoke at the Britannia Stadium.Mrs Konchesky's status attracted a number of supportive messages.
One claimed 'the Liverpool scum don't know class when it hits them in the face', while another referred to the supporters as 'clueless morons'.
Hodgson spent £4million to bring Konchesky to Fulham in a four-year-deal this summer.
But the 29-year-old, who has also played for West Ham and Charlton, has failed to win over the support of the Liverpool faithful, due in part to the team's worst start to a top-flight campaign in over half a century.
Konchesky will face his old club on Saturday, when Fulham travel to Liverpool for the late kick-off.

Liverpool fans outraged after Mrs Konchesky Facebook blast : 'To all you Liverpool scouse scum out there, never mind the cockney ****, take a real look at your team. Stop living off the past, the team are ****.'
Hitting out: Konchesky's mum branded Liverpool fans 'scouse scum'
Liverpool defender Paul Konchesky has been left red-faced after his mother used Facebook to call Liverpudlians 'Scouse scum'.
Carol Konchesky launched a foul-mouthed defence of her son hours after he had played poorly in Liverpool's 2-0 defeat at Stoke.
Mrs Konchesky wrote: 'To all you Liverpool scouse scum out there, never mind the cockney ****, take a real look at your team. Stop living off the past, the team are ****. If anyone made a mistake, its the cockney ****, who never should have left Fulham.'
The comments were subsequently removed and Mrs Konchesky has closed her Facebook account.
But, not surprisingly, there was outcry among Liverpool fans.
Les Lawson, secretary of the Official Liverpool FC Supporters' Club, said: 'Comments like that are deeply unhelpful and extremely disappointing.
'We Liverpudlians have been called worse in our time but the only person who is going to end up harmed by those comments in the long run is Paul Konchesky.'
The player, who cost £5million in August, has never indicated he has regretted leaving Fulham and recently said he had 'been made to feel really welcome by everyone on Merseyside'.
Red-faced: Liverpool fans were angered by the Facebook jibe
But he is not currently a popular figure among many Liverpool fans and Mrs Konchesky, who attends Anfield with her grandson, is said to have been shocked by the nature of the criticism he has received.
