The cardinal sin for any football fan.
Spencer Evans left Anfield at half-time during their Europa League game against Borussia Dortmund, with the score on the night 0-2, and 1-3 on aggregate.
At that stage, the Reds needed three goals to progress, a feat akin to a miracle against of the best sides of Europe. The Liverpool fan, a Kop season-ticket holder, decided it was a lost cause and left the stadium.
Cue miracle.
Dejan Lovren scored in the last minute, winning the game for Liverpool 4-3 on the night, 5-4 on aggregate. Now this fan has to live with the fact he left the ground early, and missed out on one of the best European nights ever witnessed at Anfield.

While one has to admire Spencer’s honesty and bravery in admitting he left the ground early, a cardinal sin for any football fan, Twitter users had no sympathy for him.
@Spena1975 You’ve now got to live with that for the rest of your life and sadly you deserve it. 🙁

@Spena1975 @JamesTaylorAG Haha. How did you feel when you heard/saw the score? Delighted or fuming?

@jakesanders22 @JamesTaylorAG honestly ? Devastated. Got a season ticket and never done it before my head just went. Still feel sick today
