RAWK Goes Into Meltdown 2015-16 Edition

I wonder what RAWK think of this artistic masterclass:

Reminds me of the Alan Partridge episode with the stalker.

just look at the facial expressions. The guy seem so happy while Klopp''s expression is that of a playboy who added another one to his score
 
"I wish Rafa Jurgen was my dad."

Well, in fairness it's a rather touching picture. However, it seems like LFC fans are always looking for a messiah.
 
But seriously...shameful, cowardly behaviour:


Stewards Confiscated my Cards - ridiculous

RAWKite said:
Last night I lent my cards to a mate who wanted to take his 3 kids (13, 11 and 9) for an Xmas present. They were all sitting in the Anfield Rd Lower. At 80 mins a steward with a police officer came along to 'spot check' their cards, explaining that they were investigating people profiteering from ticket sales. He then confiscated the tickets and left my mate having to leave early with a 9 year old in tears, afraid her dad may have been jailed.

I contacted the club this morning who explained that the cards had been suspended and that a process whereby they would write to me and review the situation after I have responded in writing to them would be followed. The upshot being I won't be going to the United game on Sunday.

The cynic in me is saying that the club is wanting to retrieve seats for their own use. I'm seriously disgusted with LFC. Truth is they don't deserve the support that we all give them and that they take for granted. If they want to stamp out touting how's about increasing stewards outside the ground, not targeting a man and his 3 kids at 80 minutes?

Nothing short of downright pathetic...

Y'know, if they just made it fecking easier to buy tickets then perhaps people wouldn't have to put themselves in these situations. I mean, it's not like the club don't make enough money from the TV rights, the shitty corporate hospitality, the useless fecking memberships that they want everyone to have, the shirt sales in four corners of the globe. Or maybe they're just missing out on an opportunity to sell family tickets, you know, to perhaps encourage the next generation of fans to go and support their idols. Heck, they could even have had a special offer on at Christmas to sell them as presents. Plenty of new markets for them to explore.

Nope, just another blood-sucking, money grabbing corporate monster that is beyond giving less than a feck about the people that provide that 'special atmosphere' they are so keen to fecking monetise in far flung corners of the world. What the feck happened to the club that I love, and for those who just want to take their kids to see Liverpool play? I've had enough of the gentrification of football by corporate parasites, it's beyond a fecking joke these days.

It is scandalous. Though I imagine it'd be the same at most clubs these days. Owners don't have a modicum of respect for the little man. It is a put up and shut up situation and it sucks
 
Presumably it says either on the card or in the terms & conditions that the card is non-transferable, so they are quite within their right to carry out a spot check. Most of the people who lend/sell their tickets to other United fans on here are doing the same though.

There should be a mechanism for you to log into your account online, or something, and register that you are lending your card to such and such a person for a particular match, they could even charge a nominal admin charge of a couple of quid. After all, they must want the stadium to be full all the time, as long as the seat is paid for, what should it matter who sits in it? Of course, this would not work at Shitty, because as they have far more seats than match going fans :smirk:
 
Thing is, Klopp wasn't even the first one to call himself "the normal one" - Ranieri said it in the summer as well! "Unoriginal one" more like!!
 
No reaction over there to Klopp praising SAF and calling him the John Lennon of football?

I know they hate SAF over there but I can't see them throwing their toys out against messiAH Klopp :lol:

The only comment on that you'll get is along the lines of "Shame he hasn't met the same end la".

Nope. The Guardian mentions it though:

Meanwhile...

Jürgen Klopp says timing and loyalty stopped him joining Manchester United:

Yeah seems he has huge respect for SAF & vice versa.

Imagine if Woy said it whilst he was pool manager. :lol:
 
I hope Gerrard has been on the phone to a few of the lads and Klopp to be honest, to remind them what this game means.

'cards' meaning season tickets right? I know people who share because they can't afford a full season, are clubs starting to stamp down on this? Seems pretty scummy.

Clubs are cnuts to fans.
 
Damn right:

The c*ntishness of throwing a man with 3 children out of the ground 10 minutes before the end, meaning that those kids missed that 90th minute 'moment' that could have had them hooked for generations is so fecking backwards, words don't even come close.

Sick to death of walking past the same touts outside the Kop every game, year on year, yet the club does feck all. What about all the c*nts on craigslist or gumtree? Its not fecking rocket science is it? But no, lets target the real fans who go to 19 games a year, probably go the cup games, possibly a few aways too, yet on occasion pass their tickets onto a few passionate reds who cannot afford forking out £30 for a membership to get a shit spec ticket for £50 once a year. This on the back of making members pay for tickets 1-6 months in advance, before TV times have been announced and they still don't expect people to have to pass them on when plans change? They live in their own little corporate football dreamworld and have absolutely no concept of what it's actually like to be a real match-going supporter because of the challenges the club put in place.
