Yup.They've gotten a penalty for kicking ball into someone's face?
It's very obviously a parody.
However it does say it all about Liverpool fans when it's difficult to know the different between genuine and parody.
I find it hard to express how Im feeling. Even though Im much older than him, I wish he was my dad

There will never be another like him again. Ever. The day Steven George Gerrard puts up his boots, I will forever watch football with an underlying sense of sorrow. I am sure older men who had their own conquering heroes will sympathise. And yet I still think there will never be another like him again. Ever. My kids will grow up worshipping the leather kickers of their day; but I will have to sit them down with disappointment and let them know that those heroes are false idols and that they didn’t have the fortune to be alive when a man turned the odds on its head, again and again, playing with destiny like the Gods.
This sounds silly, it’s exaggerated surely, but it was incredible to watch Gerrard battle and take everyone on the ride with him. Liverpool fans have given Fowler the nickname of ‘God’ but they got that one wrong in my opinion. Only one player in Liverpool’s history deserves to be compared to a deity. And if you were to compare Gerrard to a deity; you’d compare him with Atlas. For he held the sky up, the world on his back; so that Liverpool could see more of the glory days. For 15 years, other stars shone in our constellation; but they faded or were pulled away by the stronger gravity of other celestial bodies. All but one star, for 15 years, he fought the forces; he didn’t succumb; and if need be he would light the sky himself. He became the Alpha and the Omega, whenever we seemed to need it.
But cruelly, he couldn’t control the fates all the time. He is then, just a man. A special kind of man, a leader of men. A Captain. A symbol for others. He followed the path that’s hard to tread. It’s more than football; it’s about life. Find a person that is willing to forgo the easy, the immediate, the instantly gratifying and do it tough. It’s not common, it’s special. This is a long-winded piece to simply say, Steven George Gerrard was special; he was a beacon. If you hadn’t witnessed some of his feats and somebody was telling you his stories; you’d think they were talking about a movie. He made us dream beyond what was reasonably possible. This is what real leaders do and the inspiration they sow into our hearts is why we follow them.
Stevie will soon have to put down his sword and the load he has been carrying. He kept the darkness at bay, but the war rages on…A Captain, a Captain; my Kingdom for a Captain!

@Mods..
For me RAWK and some of its writers are the Bible of writing.
Can we please have a thread dedicated exclusively to the personal write ups on Steven Gerrard. We have some really really great amazing superior writers here and the readers of RAWK will have the privilege of living those Stevie G memories in their mesmerising words.
Thoughts Please?
The feck is this?
RAWKite said:If other club and players have any sense and love for this beautiful game, they should form guard of honour for Stevie when we play them. That is the least they can do knowing they won't be lucky to see him again in this league and what the league will be missing.
He really believed he had won it.
Stupid twat.
He'll retire never having won the league, but in many ways he has.
Great find. He has won the league - for City.

"I see Stevie slippin' on the floor tonight"... ?There must exist an 'In the Air Tonight' parody covering Gerrard.
The song has been mentioned in http://grantland.com/the-triangle/9-great-uses-of-phil-collins-in-the-air-tonight/?src=mobile.
7. It’s unclear if the song in question was “In the Air Tonight,” but Liverpool soccer player Steven Gerrard flipped out when a DJ wouldn’t play a Phil Collins song.
Strange crowd over there alright. I'd be interested to see what their reaction to seeing the likes of Giggs, Scholes and Lampard retire/leave the PL was, because they seem convinced that the inevitable lack of standing ovations/guards of honour for the departing Gerrard is a sign of the general cnutishness of all English football fans (except them of course).
"I see Stevie slippin' on the floor tonight"... ?
You're right, that's miles better. I'll let someone else finish it off though I thinkGood start, but substitute 'pitch' for 'floor' and let it flow.
