Alan Davies causes outrage after criticising Liverpool about their policy of not playing on the anniversary of the Hillsborough tragedy.

Comedian Alan Davies has sparked outrage after criticising Liverpool's refusal to play on the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster.

The Reds' FA Cup semi-final against Everton has been scheduled for April 14 as opposed to April 15, which is the date that 96 Liverpool fans died 23 years ago.

The decision means that Chelsea must play the first leg of their Champions League semi-final with Barcelona three days after facing Tottenham Hotspur in the other semi.

Davies, speaking on podcast The Tuesday Club, said: "Liverpool and the 15th - that gets on my t*** that s***. What are you talking about "We won't play on the day"? Why can't they?

"Do they play on the date of the Heysel Stadium disaster? How many dates do they not play on? Do Man United play on the date of Munich? Do Rangers play on the date when all their fans died in that disaster whatever year that was - 1971?"

The Arsenal fan also vented his fury at rival club Tottenham Hotspur, saying: "What vermin run that club. They always have. Absolute vermin. Scum of the earth."

Davies, who also blasted Kenny Dalglish on the podcast, has since defended his comments on Twitter, claiming that Liverpool's refusal to play is unfair on Chelsea.
