RAWK Goes Into Meltdown (2012/2013)

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Every point is so true.

He forgot to mention the ludicrous internet campaigns for anyone that says something mildly criticial of Liverpool.

Excellent ! He certainly understands them

 

[Dave89]

Though that too. Quite pointless for the sun to be pandering to their egos when they won't read it. TBF though, the sun didn't do the table, they are only rehashing a talk sport product.

I sold a depressing number of suns to Liverpool fans while working in the shop. Tried to educate some of the friendlier regulars.

 

[Siorac]

No one should buy the Sun, it's not just Liverpool fans who should boycott it.

Brilliant.

 

[McGrathsipan]

every second post in their matchday review thread is about how Webb is going to win the game for United.

Pathetic.

 

[JakeC]

Webb apparently one us the game

Officials mistakes so far;



FIRST HALF

26 mins: Goal kick incorrectly awarded to Manchester United. Should have been a Liverpool corner (Off Evra)

28 mins: Lucas dragged down. Free kick incorrectly awarded to Manchester United. Should have been a Liverpool freekick

28 mins: Johnson wins the ball in the air. Free kick incorrectly awarded to Manchester United. No freekick should have been awarded for either side.

28 mins: Young dives in two footed on Agger off the ball. No free kick awarded to Agger. No card issued to Young. Young injures himself in the process.

37 mins: Young kicks the ball out of play. Throw in incorrectly awarded to Manchester United. Throw should have been awarded to Liverpool.

45 mins: Referee allowed Liverpool to play on through Reina injury. Should have allowed Manchester United to play on as he hadn't stopped play earlier



SECOND HALF

47 mins: Dive by Kagawa earns a free kick to Manchester United close to goal. Referee should have played on.

53 mins: Ball hits Vidic and goes into the net. Goal awarded. Vidic was offside in the move. Correct decision would be to disallow for offside.

60 mins: Theatrical dive by Van Persie earns a free kick to Manchester United close to goal. Referee should have played on

71 mins: Ferdinand pulls Sturridge back illegally. No freekick awarded. Correct decision would be to give Liverpool a freekick outside the area.

73 mins: Evra shows dissent after being booked. No second yellow shown.

74 mins: Vidic heads the ball for a Liverpool corner. Goal kick incorrectly given to Manchester United. Correct decision would be a corner to Liverpool

77 mins: Sturridge hacked down from behind. Throw in awarded to Liverpool. Correct decision would have been free kick to Liverpool

80 mins: Wellbeck receives the ball in an offside position. Nothing given. Correct decision would have been offside and Freekick to Liverpool

85 mins: Valencia handballs then dives. Nothing given. Correct decision would have been a yellow card for an obvious dive after a handball. Same incident. Johnson attempts to rugby tackle Valencia. Missus. Correct decision could have been a second yellow card for Johnson.

88 mins: Van Persie fouls Johnson. Nothing given. Correct decision would have been a freekick for Liverpool

88 mins: Theatrical dive from Manchester United player after the slightest touch from Gerrard. Freekick awarded to Manchester United. Correct decision would have been play on

91 mins: Dive from Valencia. Free kick awarded to Manchester United. Correct decision would have been throw in to Liverpool

 

[Keltoi]

If anything they had the rub of the green today, Kagawa should've had a penalty. Downing should've had a yellow for diving and Johnson should've had a 2nd yellow for rugby tackle

 

[Burrow]

Red for Skrtel somehow not mentioned in that list..

 

[Damien]

Webb apparently one us the game

In fairness:

(a) it was Andy who posted that and
(b) all the replies to that was saying it was bollocks and in the space of 3 or 4 minutes one of the admins deleted it and all posts referring to it

Red for Skrtel somehow not mentioned in that list..

NONE of the decisions against us were mentioned there. They're all saying on there that the ref had a good game, bar one who said Skrtel and Johnson were lucky not to be sent off.

 

[Kraftwerker]

Webb gave everything their way.

 

[LARulz]

So the ref was the difference again, was never a free kick for their 2nd. Much improved 2nd half, sturridge looks top class and already very good signs over the Suarez sturridge partnership

 

[pauldyson1uk]

No one should buy the Sun, it's not just Liverpool fans who should boycott it.

Agreed, the quicker people stop buying this shit, the quicker it will close down.

 

[ha_rooney]

 

[Man-United]

They never got the corner kick in the second half when Vidic headed the ball. It's pro United Webb again.

 

[Rowem]

Dive from Valencia? Is that when Johnson rugby tackled him on a yellow card?
Offside for the goal

Morons.

Wisdom could have been sent off and given away a penalty for stopping Kagawa from scoring.

Skrtel too should have seen red.

All their CMs seemed to commit about 7 fouls each

 

[ItsEssexRob]

For once they actually seem to not be in meltdown. One or two posts and Andy Allertons rubbish but other than that i its more.

'There have been plenty of times in the past but can't blame Webb this time. We were beaten fair and square. '

'Put out the wrong team at kick off, got what we deserved.
Sturridge was great to watch, and happy for Borini too, he played pretty well in his short stint.
Joe Allen really was lightweight in midfield, think Hendo would have been a better selction, and Downing could have put a bit more into the game I feel.
Also, decent game from Webb, for once.'

'If you look at the more clear cut decisions the officials were kind to us. Lucas, Skrtel and Johnson could have all seen red. No excuses this time not good enough in the first half too much sloppy play, simple as.'


We all love to hate RAWK but even on there the majority cant bring themselves to find a way to blame Webb.

 

[kouroux]

The ref awarding a FK is one thing but are the Liverpool players forbidden from defending it ????

 

[Redlambs]

For once they actually seem to not be in meltdown. One or two stupid posts, but most seem to be accepting of it.

I hate myself for saying this, but there's more laughable stuff about our players in our own matchday thread, than stupid shit on Rawk.

This makes me sad Luckily, it won't last

 

[Phurry]

For once they actually seem to not be in meltdown. One or two stupid posts, but most seem to be accepting of it.

It seems more and more of them are actually becoming aware of their teams true level.

 

[Keltoi]

Sturridge looks top class? He did ok...

 

[Wowi]

Webb apparently one us the game

I like the difference in wording.

85 mins: Valencia handballs then dives. Nothing given. Correct decision would have been a yellow card for an obvious dive after a handball. Same incident. Johnson attempts to rugby tackle Valencia. Missus. Correct decision could have been a second yellow card for Johnson.

 

[Buchan]

Sturridge scored a tap-in, squandered two other terrific chances and suddenly he was "class"?

feck me.

 

[Keltoi]

Let's not kill ourselves. United are a very good side. Saw enough today to merit optimism.

United arn't a very good side. Having said that, they played in second gear today and still won.

Really?

 

[Keltoi]

Just seen this gem, apparently SAF had his own tactics to deal with tiki taka:

yeah the pitch was shocking.
clearly deliberate too I'd say,
thought they could upset our passing game on a dicky pitch.

 

[ItsEssexRob]

Anyone got any saves of the repsonses to Andys post?

 

[Redlambs]

So they sign our best player and still can't win? They are too good to be true

 

[DevilRed]

Sturridge scored a tap-in, squandered two other terrific chances and suddenly he was "class"?

feck me.

looks like the chelski sturridge to me. Won't ever see him squaring a ball from a tight angle. You can count on him to blast it towards the goal everytime. More often than not into the side netting.

 

[Stobzilla]

Just seen this gem, apparently SAF had his own tactics to deal with tiki taka:

Despite SAF saying it was going to ge relaid this summer as he acknowledged it was poor.

 

[Xander45]

I like how in Andy's Webb Watch he doesn't mention the dive from Downing, but mentions Evra complaining about being booked for having a guy dive over him.

 

[Keltoi]

Despite SAF saying it was going to ge relaid this summer as he acknowledged it was poor.

Still this isnt Mourinho at Chelsea, I dont think Fergie would resort to such tactics, Liverpool only play at OT once a year so it'd hurt us a lot more than them.

 

[Sky1981]

They're gonna zoom that clip / gif into millions of angle and particles and proton to come up with "YES, THERE WAS CONTACT" no dive by downing

lol

 

[Judge Red]

I'd never buy The Sun due to personal taste but if anything LFC fans make me want to buy it anyway.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

Just seen this gem, apparently SAF had his own tactics to deal with tiki taka:

Liverpool hardly have a "passing game".

 

[Wumminator]

Why? Thats pretty stupid and inhumane thing to say.

 

[Crustanoid]

Webb apparently one us the game

I bet he was sat there with a pad and pen through the match

 

[Judge Red]

Why? Thats pretty stupid and inhumane thing to say.
