RAWK Goes Into Meltdown 2015-16 Edition

Leaving aside the fact that it is a ridiculous demand and hilarious to begin with, it is addressed to Michel Platini, who is not even the current UEFA President. And these lot claim to be the most knowledgeable fans in the whole wide world. :lol:
You have to remember, dippers live in a world all of their own.

Saw Lallana hugging Rashford afte he scored that goal. There does not seem to be hate between the English Liverpool and Mancs players. Mourinho will never like this. Expect the Liverpool vs Mancs match to be more sidey from now on. If any of his players object, he will be treated like Casillas. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...drid-prepare-meet-Champions-League-clash.html

Bring it on Mourinho, Klopp will punch you in the face one of this days if you carry on behaving that way. No girly stuff like eye poke from our manager.
 

I guess it's not only the Daily Heil that creates hypothetical scenarios and then gets really angry at them.
 
Where does this reputation of Klopp being an 'ard bastard come from? He has the mannerisms of an extra from Father Ted. Eccentric, sure, but intimidating? Looks more likely to punch himself in the face out of anxiety, particularly if he loses another final.
 
It comes from Klopp occasionally berating officials like some kind of mental case.

That constitutes being a tough guy apparently, balling someone out who isn't able to punch you in the face like the ridiculous twatsack that you are.
 
As a Liverpool fan, I've never liked RAWK, and have always seen it as too insular, too wet, intolerant of opinions outside the norm, and with authoritarian mods. The fact that the match day thread is limited to a few chosen members is ridiculous. That said, there are folk on here who are just as tribal, just as entitled, just as intolerant of others views, and just as delusional. Thankfully, the mods here are more tolerant, which allows views other than theirs to be aired - which is why I'm here not there.

It's also worth pointing out the obvious to those who seem to believe otherwise: posters on RAWK do not represent Liverpool fans as a whole, any more than any section of any clubs fans represents that fanbase. This is particularly true of clubs like Liverpool and Man Utd, who have some of the largest and most diverse fanbases in football.

Just thought I'd get this off my chest, having been a long-term lurker here who's seen the whole lot of us tarnished by what some idiot said in a poem on the 'I love Rafa' thread. As you were...

Don't think you're fooling anyone Scouse. You're a Trojan Scouse, start posting normal opinions and then in a few weeks "Ibe is better than Martial"
 
Or he's our Johnnowhite and really lives next to Stretford Arndale.

Expect to see this on nearly every post "As a Liverpool fan,"
;)
 
It's RobboBlack, the resident Liverpool fan who feels betrayed by everything his club does. Meanwhile, down the M62, he can't help but extol all the good things United stand for in the face of overwhelming modernisation.

They do. I've lived among them half my life. On social issues, they're fantastic. They will stand in solidarity against anything they deem to be unfair or oppressive. They're excellent friends and would give you the shirt off their backs.

But when it comes to football, especially Liverpool vs United, they are raving feckin lunatics.

All the shit that appalls us about RAWK: the conspiracy theories that the football authorities are against them, the belief they are special, the desire to see opposition players hurt, the constant whinging about refs, the fact that they usually don't acknowledge that teams beat them ("We threw it away"), etc etc. It's all real. It's all true. They're all at it.
 
Just to put it into perspective for anybody who can't be assed reading that nonsense, Mourinho's supposed 'cult of personality' is likened to David Koresh's, the cult leader whose leadership led to the deaths of 80 people after a standoff with the FBI.

They're mental, and it's incredibly ironic that they don't see how pathetically desperate they are to believe in the greatness of each manager who passes through that club.
 
Woy Hodge-Podge the Hodgosaurus never really quite got their full, unwavering hill-climbing backing at its' most magnificent.
 
You won't believe this article isn't a joke in particularly poor taste: a RAWK editor writes for The Blizzard about Mourinho's 'cult of personality' ~

https://www.theblizzard.co.uk/news/excerpts-from-issue-eight/

In the run-up to the release of Issue Eight on 4th March, we will be offering you a sneak peek at a couple of excerpts of articles from the forthcoming issue. First up is Blizzard debutant Roy Henderson, on José Mourinho and his 'cult of personality'.

You can pre-order Issue Eight on a pay-what-you-like basis from as little as £6

Well, I'm in at the bargain price of probably more than £6. No consideration needed of how that could fail to be the best time & money investment of ones' entire existence after reading that scrumptious little nugget.

Despite very reasonable protestations that it's not all of 'em. A fair proportion of them are fecking puddled, innit.

I'd like to formally state that I in no way include nor connect the collective known as the 'Huyton Baddies' to this previous possibly greatly exaggerated for comic effect previous comment. A finer collection of upstanding gentlemen than them it would be difficult to envisage.

Huyton Baddies Versus The Circus.

First, a little background on the Huyton Baddies...
250 strong gang of hooligans and petty criminals. Famous for football related looting sprees across Europe in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Huyton, Liverpool 1977. Every year in September, the circus would come to the common in Huyton, a nice spot of sub Billy Smart family entertainment. The big top had been up for a couple of days when the Strongman was in one of the local pubs having an aftershow drink with the Trapeze Girl. One of the Huyton Baddies top boys was also in the bar with a mate who was hyping him up to have a crack at the Trapeze Girl. So up he goes, all swagger, to chat her up right under the nose of the Strongman. After a brief exchange of pleasantries the Strongman just grabs the Baddie Top Boy, picks him up above his head and throws him through the front window of the snug. Not surprisingly, the Trapeze Girl and him get out of there fast, whilst the unfortunate scallie lies unconscious in the street. News of the incident quickly spreads through the estate and a war council convenes to formulate an appropriate direct action response. No Strongman comes on their patch and chucks Top Boys through pub windows. It's decided....... The following evening a 200 strong mob of Baddies gathers on the common. They attack the circus just before the last show of the evening. These Baddies really mean business - beating and giving a good kicking to the Strongman, all the clowns (even the little one) and the ring master. Still not wholly satisfied they start burning down the big top and then release all the animals from their cages. Suddenly there's lions tigers and elephants stampeding out across the common towards the bright lights of the town. Before too long crazed circus animals are prowling the mean streets of Huyton terrorizing the local residents. Special police and zoo swat teams arrive on the scene. A lion is shot outside the King's Head. A tiger finds itself in Betty's Hair Salon on Mortimer Street, whilst the elephant roams unchallenged up and down the High Street. The chaos lasts until the next morning when all the animals are rounded up or shot. The Baddies will not bring such glory upon themselves again until they hijack the P&O ferry the following year. But that's a story for another time.

But Ibe is better than Martial, and with greater potential, and I'm sure there's a thread on RAWK with all kinds of obscure stats to prove me right.

All of those traits you've attributed to RAWK apply here too, with the one saving grace that, as I noted above, your mods seem more tolerant of opposing views (and not just from rival fans) which helps keep this place more honest. And most of those traits that appall you apply especially to your new manager - which must make for some bleak times in El Badunk right now. Well, that and the fact you're living in Liverpool.

Don't know much about Andy Tate so I apologise for that. Though having tried to listen and understand, I also apologise for remaining uninfluenced by, unimpressed by and frankly bemused by his narrative of the bright golden future the Portuguese shitface will bring to my club.

As a manc born and bred myself , and well familiar with the accent in which this fella delivers to camera, I also apologise for the absence of any insight or in-depth analysis in this lad's narrative of ANY of the HOW factors that assure successful teams are manufactured. You can't ever operate on the "going to Harrods for yer shopping" ethos ffs! It takes a gifted man of patience, a down to earth man of the people with a confident and assured personal belief in and possessed of a personal vision way beyond 3 seasons to be appointed to the helm for the re-construction of any club.

The challenge of simply getting the basics in place via root and branch changes in order to underpin the objective of creating and sustaining a dynasty of excellence and remaining focussed on playing the game the way it always OUGHT to be played is, in my judgement, a task of over 4-8 years! If it's worth doing it's worth doing WELL!
Matt Busby's deeply-reverenced legacy of always having been personally committed to building and securely locking that ethos into the DNA of his (and MY!) club for the assured enjoyment and attendant success for future generations to come has been placed in totally the wrong hands.

The difference being, on here, yes, there are posters who espouse all those views. But on RAWK, and among the Liverpool 'communion', they are the concensus.

Was sort of friends with a lad when was in school who was one of the nicest guys you'd ever come across. Wouldn't harm a fly, quiet as a mouse most of the time, friendly as they come, etc. He was a Liverpool fan and I'd never really talked football with him but it came up one day in passing and he suddenly turned vile. Ranting about conspiracies, agendas and cheating, wishing injury and death on our players and Fergie, calling anyone who had anything to do with United, including me as a fan, "scum", even said we needed another Munich. He wasn't even scouse. Never spoke to him again.

Look at this guy, coming on our forum, slagging us off, pointing the obvious out. Banned.
 
Those guys have been unbearable since Klopp came and they started playing decently. Reading their forum shortly after they won the ,,mighty comeback against Dortmund'' cup you would think that Klopp is some divine being that made them the best team in the world. So delighted they lost their 2 finals and we won the FA cup. Seen one sad cnut saying that they won more money as runner-ups in EL than us winning the FA cup and that comes from a fan of the ,,mythical 100% passion no money'' club. Worse than that I saw an image of them saying that they won justice for the Hillsborough which is much more important than real cups. Twats milking a horrible accident to look better smh.

This is so untrue. I'll admit Cafe is no better than other forums when it comes to whining about refs and maybe blaming their team than praising opponents, but that's nothing compared to the delusions of RAWK.

It's not just the mods that are tolerant and open to rival opinions, most of the posters are too. Otherwise the kind of healthy discussion wouldn't happen here. Compare this to RAWK or Bluemoon where the fans of other clubs are derided for their opinions; where their own fans are called WUM or RAG and are hounded for their honest opinions. And the most important thing is this is a group behavior there, unlike Redcafe where abusive/deriding posts are remote and singular incidents which not encouraged.

I suppose I could grudgingly accept that Mourhino is still - relatively speaking, as in recent times - a top manager.

His problem, though, is that he's not alone in that in the Prem; if anything the job has become far harder than 10 years ago. And given his track record he has to be classed as one of the weaker managers in the top drawer of the top flight. Only Wenger could arguably be seen as weaker.


:wenger:
 

Who the actual feck actually writes and speaks like that?

Also, who does this pretend United fan actually think should be in charge?

He shit posts about every manager and shit post about every potential manager, it's truly bizarre, not one good word to say about any aspect of any of the current and last managers.

I imagine any Liverpool manager though will have at least a couple of redeeming features though eh? Not be 100% the spawn of Satan like Jose.

What a prick.
