RAWK Goes Into Meltdown (2011/2012)

I cant stand their resident Geordie, Black & White Paul. I reckon he's just a Rawkite pretending to be an oppo fan just to make it look like they welcome outsiders. His bitterness is a bit OTT for me.

A bit random, I know, but seeing Sewelly just reminded me of him.

Not that Sewelly is like him, you understand? :lol:
 
No. We need to win THAT game mate.

Rightly or wrongly you can see the whole team is petrified of being injured or suspended for this game.

That's why I'd just play the Kids (And Doni of course). Players aren't going to get stuck in and risk something - so no point playing them. You can bet if our full team start then the referee will get a couple of bent Reds out. Nailed on mate.

:lol:

Do Refs Favour United?
If a cricket team was persistently the beneficiary of ludicrously favourable decisions from match officials there would be an investigation into betting patterns and corruption. As a matter of urgency something needs to be done re: officiating at Manchester united home games. Or have we got so used to this over the last 20 years that it doesn't warrant further attention?

We know betting is not the issue here but this pattern of bizarre refereeing behaviour over the last two weeks (and two decades before that) is the result of weak officials fearing the wrath of a large home crowd and Ferguson post game, which creates natural and powerful bias. This must be worth 10-15 points per season.

This is an incredibly difficult issue to tackle. If we don't address it I'm afraid our league championship is losing any residual credibility it had. I'll admit that I'm bored by it.

1980s Liverpool star Gary Gillespie has revealed that when Kenny Dalglish managed the Reds the first time around, the legend learnt that football shouldn’t be over complicated.

Gillespie was part of the multiple-trophy winning side of 1988/89, and the former defender said that while Dalglish was player/manager at Anfield, he preferred a simpler format of coaching.

"When I say this to people they’re amazed: In 8 years at Liverpool, the days we were actually coached I can count on one hand. We were just told to go out and play,” he said.

"At times, the game becomes a little bit too technical and...I think formations sometimes go out the window. Ultimately, with good players in the side...that know the game, and know exactly what they’re doing...they'll find their positions.".

"You’ve got to have a structure to work with, but too much is made of it. Within that structure you’ve got to have license, and think since Kenny’s come in, he’s given them a bit more license to express themselves".

So does this explain the complete lack of a game-plan, or direction, even?
 
Back in their heyday, they had the players to overcome any lack of tactical nous; now, they don't & are struggling, accordingly.
 
When the world has advanced it seems Kenny is still living in the stone age the daft sod.

Also, football as a sport has evolved to a great extent. It isn't all that simple anymore and with whats at stake nowadays and the commercial aspect of football, no manager can ignore other facets of this sport. Something Dalglish is yet to accept. He's still stuck in his own days.
 
Lets play a game of guess the liverpool striker!

Kenny took over probably the best team in Europe at the time, won a few league titles while leading the team into a gradual decline and jumped ship before it got really bad leaving Souness to take charge of a sinking ship and forever be the one blamed for the downfall. Not that a Liverpool fan would ever admit this.

And yet it's obvious to others
 
Honestly, the PL should only have 3 CL spots this year. Any of the contenders for 4th are going to be trampled on. Whoever finishes 4th this year won't make it past the group stages.

:lol: :lol:

They're on a new level of bitter over there, aren't they? This season has been gold.

yeah... i'm not so sure that's completely the case.

Kenny did have to rebuild the strong side he inherited, transforming it with Barnes, Aldridge, Houghton ect into the 87-88 side which was the best side in Europe.

Whereas Fergie has built 3-4 great sides by himself, Liverpool relied on a series of different managers to rebuild their sides in their own image. Souness stands out as the one wasn't up to the task... and they have suffered ever since because of it. Souness wasn't even come close to being up to the task of transforming Liverpool in the manner that Dalglish had to, and Fagan before him, and Paisley before him and Shanks before that.
 
Just imagine what they will do when Evra lifts the PL trophy. A fitting end to the season, I think.
 
Killer_heel's got his/her wish:lol:

That thread is comedy GOLD!

Anything less than...
PL:38 W:38 D:0 L:O GF:200 GA:0 PT:114
...should be viewed as a complete failure

:lol: :lol: :lol:

The thread is amazing. Andy@Allerton, I know you're reading this - you are such a tit, you can't actually believe in what you post.
 
Manchester United won fecking 5 games all season away from home. This league is fecking anybodys

Probably one of A@A's more sensible quotes in some ways. Last July a lot of City, Arsenal and Chelsea fans must surely have been thinking the same thing.

If ref favour Untied, do they favour the other 7 teams which are above LFC as well? are all teams above LFC all getting advantage from FA and refs? If so, the conspiracy is getting more serious and it must be looked into for sure. Those LFC fans are mentally ill to say the least.
 
Shouldn't really be giving that A@A psychopath the publicity. He obviously gets off on it.
