Though an Everton fan celebrating an injury to a Liverpool player is hardly ground-breaking stuff, getting a picture of it happening printed onto a notepad for a Christmas present definitely is.
While football rivalries are something that ought to be upheld and encouraged, with that added edge making the game all the more entertaining, sometimes they go a little too far.
Printing a potentially season-ending injury happening during the Merseyside Derby onto a notepad for a Christmas gift to a family member could, to some, be considered going too far.

Unsportsmanlike as it may be to celebrate an injury, let alone a serious one, to any player, those with a sense of humour will understand there’s no genuine ill intentions by pulling such a prank on your brother.
Though, we wouldn’t expect any Liverpool fans to see it that way.
