BRENDAN RODGERS angrily booted a bottle up the touchline after Kasper Schmeichel scuffed a clearance into touch during the Community Shield clash against Manchester City.

Fuming Rodgers reacted by brutally launching a bottle up the touchline,.
It added to what had already been a hotly-contested match at Wembley.

“Terrific connection.”
A third added: “Rodgers absolutely pelting a bottle makes my day man.”
One joked: “This has to be the most passionate Community Shield game there’s ever been…
