RAWK Goes into Meltdown 2014/2015 - The "We go again" Edition

[Ricardo de la Vega]

The fact you've called him a donkey suggests you've never seen him play.

I've seen far too much of him. He's awful.

[Mali_Zeus]

I feel sorry for this guy bth, seriously he's not well.

 

[Isotope]

Liverpool fans celebrating the signing of James Milner. Never thought I'd have seen that in my lifetime.

Any good scouse jokes going around ? Having a really bad morning..

Any good scouse jokes going around ? Having a really bad morning..

A dolphin, a Klingon and a Scouser walked into a bar......and the barman says "Alright lad, will it be the usual?"

Something something punchline slip.

 

[Sassy Colin]

Can someone plant these on RAWK?

Spoiler

*Disclaimer - I did not make this

Ashley Young?

 

[devilish]

The first time I heard it I thought that he said we've signed Walder Frey.

"We've signed Walder Frey
He's gon' kill ya"

The moderating rules on RAWK never cease to amaze me. The mods don't seem to want discussion over their club, just endless praise.

Aye.

But it's not just that: They actually invite people to debate, say, the future of the club, next season, where they are going, etc. But as soon as someone drops a critical remark, mentions the manager's name without stressing that he should be given a life contract, and so forth – locked. Or, my favourite: “Locked for cleanup”.

The purpose of RAWK, a football forum, is not to discuss football, but rather to discuss the idea of Liverpool FC – the latter being akin to a Platonic idea, that is, something which does not exist in the world of the senses (thankfully).

Whats funny is that Rawk is almost a propaganda site now for the club, almost anything negative is deleted or closed etc, yet the OFFICIAL Liverpool forums are open to anything anybody wants to say.

The official Liverpool forums are much better than Rawk these days, plus the site is almost as big as Rawk.

http://forums.liverpoolfc.com/ go here for your laughs.

RAWK is just such an ugly site to look at. Such an ugly layout. I'd find it hard to enjoy posting there, even as a Liverpool fan.

Got a notice that my post yesterday had a lack of respect for "the manager"...and was asked to modify it. However it was already deleted, so I'm unable to do as requested. Sad. My post clearly pointed out that FSG had painted Rodgers into the unfavorable corner and that his time here is set up to fail. No disrespect for the manager at all. After a good spell here at RAWK, I didn't realize you had to toe the line and speak favorably at all times. I enjoyed listening to other opinions, and thought I was respectfully giving my own. I respect the duties an admin has of a board of this volume, but think you are a bit zealous here. I guess I'm now about to Walk Alone...

[Crackers]

I doubt they'll ever open up registration again, so they'll probably close his account after he leaves and if he wants back in he won't be allowed? Seems like the kind of thing they'd do.

 

[Mr Pigeon]

Respect has to be earned, not given out for free like stolen hubcaps.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

We signed Karim Frei
(Oh wait) it's James Milner :/

lovely subtle passive aggressiveness

 

[okLaptop1]

They might as well come right out and say something like "These forums will only be for praising LFC, its players, and all staff members. If you have anything even slightly negative to say, take it to another forum, even if it's 100% true. You're. Not. Welcome. Here." That's how they run it already, not sure why they need to pretend to be a forum of open mindedness and honest discussion. I'm sure there are enough deluded RAWK nutters on there that the forums would still thrive.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

So I guess most of RAWK are now saying Milner's the best English player behind Sturridge and Gerrard then?

Well, according to the scouse boom bust cycle, Liverpool should be having the best team in the world in about a month's time.

I always imagine that the mods on Rawk are the real old school Liverpool fans, the fans that have lived through the 'glory days' and can't accept how shite they are these days so they just ban all negativity so they can continue living in their delusion bubble.

yep. hostile to anything not the 80s, including;

foreign matchgoers
ipads
mighty red mascots

 

[SteveJ]

It's times like these that I miss PoP's input in regards to the departure of coaches and the potential reasoning for it. Hope he comes back soon.

*facepalm*

They should address the question to their new messiah/overlord of Reddit fame, ThePredictor.

It's simple, grey, symmetrical and imposing. Sparsely decorated by grand bird and torch icons, a heroic image of past glory carved into the face and padlocks. It couldn't adhere more closely to the fundamentals of authoritarian architecture and fascist aesthetics. It's fitting.

But seriously, PoP is gone? What happened? Drowned in his own bollocks?

 

[Neelu]

But seriously, PoP is gone? What happened? Drowned in his own bollocks?

Some posters were wising up to his bullshit so he is taking a break and will be back as the most knowledgeable poster after some time. Kind of like how Liverpool players become world class after an injury break.

 

[vodrake]

But seriously, PoP is gone? What happened? Drowned in his own bollocks?

He started getting called out for pseudo-intellectual bullshit and unwarranted self importance, so he took a break from the forum. Apparently only 1 of the 50000 simulations he'd ran had predicted this would happen, he was quite shocked.

 

[marukomu]

He wants to concentrate on managing Liverpool for a while.

 

[gooDevil]

Aye.

And they started throwing ash trays at him in a pub. So he left.

 

[bleezy]

A mod over there has locked the thread about Colin Pascoe leaving on the basis of:

Colin Pascoe is no longer assistant manager and you read all of that into it.

Pointless thread.

Locked.

and

Is Pascoe the manager? No.

Move on.
