Tranmere Rovers and Gillingham played out an exciting 2-2 draw at the weekend but Gills boss Steve Evans was not happy at the result.
Gillingham seemed to be coasting to a rare away win at half time, but Tranmere pegged them back with second-half goals from Jennings and Mullin to leave them with a share of the spoils.
Evans was not happy about his team’s failure to kill Tranmere off with a third goal when they were on top in a dominant first forty-five minutes and also felt his side should have had a late penalty after a challenge on Mikael Ndjoli.
He told the club’s official website: ‘There is no doubt that we have left two points behind in Liverpool,’ a statement which caused the Birkenhead based club to troll him with a reminder that Tranmere is not in Liverpool but on the Wirral Peninsula and that Evans would not make a very good coach driver.
The tweet caused quite a reaction on social media, with the controversial Scot once again creating a mixture of anger and humour amongst his opponent’s supporters, and not just for his famous lack of geographical knowledge that saw him leave Mansfield for a job in China then ended up managing Peterborough, as the following selection of responses to the Tranmere tweet illustrate.

Steve Evans…as inept at Geography as he is at hanging on to 2-0 leads.— Craig Perkins (@CraigPerkins17) September 8, 2019

Considering he left mansfield for a job in China then rocked up in Peterborough shows how good he is at geography
