RAWK Goes Into Meltdown (2011/2012)

yesThought we were laughing at Scousers, not other Utd fans.
Men In Black.
Cool as feck, man. Yeah...cool if you're around 15 years of age.

The amount of vitriol in the threads discussing Suarez, upcoming matches in RAWK is alarming. I'm not sure if these morons are part of a cult, but the current thought process seems to be this
1) Sir Alex Ferguson and Evra is directly responsible for the Suarez match ban due to trumped up charges and controlling the FA
2) The atmosphere has been somehow poisoned beyond control by Man Utd and Ferguson who is not averse to whipping up the passion
3) All the blame for not trying to resolve the tensions between the club is now directly on Ferguson because he suggested that he's not ready for peace talks
4) And as of this moment, Ferguson is pushing for peace talks now that the FA Cup draw is made and the match is at Anfield, probably because he's scared.
It's disturbing because almost everybody seems to agree with this and they yap away with insanely outrageous posts which always includes some form of abuse towards Fergie (Slur Alex, Baconface, blah blah blah) and some even calling for his demise.
It seems to go on 24/7, I don't know when these guys do their homework.

It's not known as Klan-failed for nothing.
Whats the latest? are they planning a coup against the Evil Empire in three weeks time or is there an X Files marathon on that day?
I'm off to watch City v Pool on Wednesday and boo the scouse bastards.
I never know who you support, I thought it was Leeds wasnt it?
thought this was interesting. below is the response from the FA to a Liverpool fan (posted on RAWK) who wrote asking why Evra was not charged with abusive and insulting language and threatening Suarez. Its nice to see they are actually being spoonfed the info. and the comments about Kuyt may just put it in context for them. might just sink in.....or maybe not
Dear [GrkStav],
Thank you for contacting The Football Association.
As you are aware an Independent Regulatory Commission found a charge of misconduct against Luis Suarez proven and has subsequently released the full written reasons of the commission. Liverpool FC and Suarez have accepted the sanction therefore Suarez will be suspended for a period of eight matches. Suarez was also fined £40,000 and was warned as to his future conduct.
In relation to your email we feel it is important to highlight the following:
a. It was accepted by all parties (including Mr Suarez) that the phrase “concha de tu hermana” properly translates into English as “f*cking hell”, “f*ck me” or similar and is therefore deemed an exclamation not a direct insult.
b. The Commission found as a matter of fact that Evra did not use the term “South-American” in respect of Suarez;
c. Evra’s further comments (i.e. “say it to me again, I’m going to punch you”, “okay, now I think I’m going to punch you”) were made in the context of, and in reaction to, him being spoken to in racially insulting terms;
d. Accordingly, there was nothing in Evra’s language which breaches Rule E3 when assessed against the standards The FA applies to all incidents of on-field verbal exchanges between players.
e. Similarly, language alleged to have been used by Dirk Kuyt could – on one reading – be said to amount to a breach of Rule E3; but, as stated above, The FA exercises a common sense approach to incidents of verbal exchanges involving players as they are seen to berate and engage with each other in relatively strong terms on a regular basis.
f. The FA therefore considers that there is a clear and significant difference between Evra’s comments and Suarez’s repeated use of racially insulting language.
We do appreciate all of the feedback we receive from supporters. This feedback is collated and used to build a picture of public opinion and is subsequently fed back internally within the organisation. Please rest assured your comments will form part of this feedback process.
Kind regards

Rebecca Budd is probably on their hit list now, poor woman.
I wonder how many times they had to send that out. How many "members" does RAWK have?
Best bit about that is the feedback bit. Clearly they are building a picture of Liverpool supporters from the inevitable flood of emails they are receiving. Just not a very positive one
Have they boycotted her yet?
They've generally chosen to ignore the reply, apart from a couple of cries to refocus their efforts and create a "concha de tu hermana" banner.
Can they even understand what she wrote?
Hmm
it's great when legalistic language is used for this sort of stuff. I wish she'd expanded a bit on it...'Furthermore, pursuant to the issue of Mr. Evra's use of the the phrase "Suck my pussy, Lampard" (henceforth, "Fat Frank") in a videographic film from 2005, the panel has determined that this were best taken not as a literal invitation for Fat Frank to masticate on his putative vagina (Mr Evra, in point of fact, is not believed to possess a clunge of any kind - tight, cavernous, dripping or otherwise), but as a species of insulting challenge, of the kind that might best be translated by such ordinary phrases as, "feck you, Frank" or "Piss off you fat, dead-eyed, deflection-happy cockend.'

Out of interest given all the claims of obsession, RAWK's current United thread (The Man United Obsession Thread AKA The RAWK Losers Thread) has an identical amount of posts per day as this one. And this one has been open through us playing them, and the entirety of the race case, which there was a bunch of general posts about.
Hmm
He has a punchable face, the cnut
The fact I am, have always and will always be a Leeds fan shouldn't prevent me from enjoying watching other teams play should it?
I think they must because it's Heap from the South East.
"concha de tu hermana" is "your sister's cnut/pussy."And a sly one. He was not liked in the Netherlands and he can never ever set foot in Ghana.
Not at all, though you've been known to slope off for a pint in the middle of the game

Not at all, nobody should be surprised that you crave decent football.
Hmm
Rooney didn't even wave an imaginary card, just pointed out to the ref that it was a two-football tackle, which it was.
We're dealing with a sport where players illegitimately claim a throw in at every possible opportunity.
I guess RvP craves the same when he looks around some of the poor players Wenger expects him to play with.

Aye was gonna say. I knew 'hermana' meant 'sister' so I have absolutely no idea where your FA lady got that translation from.Yes concha means shell, as in conch, which is slang for cnut. But phrases that have become idioms don't mean what their literal meaning suggests. When you say, "for feck's sake" you don't mean "for the sake of sexual intercourse". When you say, "That's bollocks" you don't mean "that consists of testicles".
Likewise when a Spaniard says, "Concha de tu hermana", apparently they don't mean "The vagina of my interlocutor's sister", they mean something like "For feck's sake". It's a set phrase.

I never got past "dos cervezas and a belly buster there Manuel. And give us that copy of the currant bun" with the old lingo.
Just as well, it's a bloody minefield.

really? Why has Suarez accepted that it means something else? I just threw it into google translate and got 'shell of your sister'. Must be derogatory on Merseyside to discuss the choice of clothing of another mans sister.Hmm
He's a gormless ugly cnut isn't he.
Like Plech mentioned, it's a set phrase; a bit like 'de puta madre,' which is a very common expression, without definite offensive meaning.
It would actually be 'your' so it is possible he meant close to the literal meaning.
Yeah I said 'my' because I was paraphrasing it from the player's POV. "My interlocutor" = unitedbhoy = you.
It is possible, but it's not the normal meaning of the phrase. Then again Evra's not Spanish.
Either way it's irrelevant really, players abuse each other with foul language all the time as the FA spokeswoman says.
Just a convenient shorthand for "dwelling alone in some unnamed place beyond time and space, unless disturbed", O! Great Elder God!How dare you call me Welsh, Mrs Wallpaper!
