RAWK Goes Into Meltdown 2016-17 Edition
- Thread starter Xaviesta
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
They.Have.(the)Klopp
Haha meltdown of note.
How about letting folk air their views? RAWK is like the old East Germany.
We going to keep an eye on TAW too?
Might be able to find some gems here too, atleast if the mods don't lock the threads as they do on rawk.
What does TAW mean btw? The Anfield W*nkers?

They. Are. Worried.
The Anfield Wrap I think.
They have a widely respected podcast so I am told.

Indeed, their mods seem like the Stasi.
The Anfield Wrap..... no idea why.
That Claire mod admin person is the worst Mini Hitler on there.
She has no class whatsoever either. Reminds me of that Scouse woman in Shameless (remember that?!)

It was actually him I was thinking of!or @njred
It's a play on "The Anfield Rap", I assume. That was a terrible song.

It'd be a sad day if RAWK closed down. I hope they keep going long into the future.
Was just wondering how the feck do you pronounce that one
Should we all donate?
They won't close down. It's just bluster.
Basically, the regulars on there have had enough of good posters being banned for having a negative opinion of a certain player or the manager.
On RAWK you only ever get away with criticism of the owners and even then, you have to be careful.
The forum is batshit mental. There are never any new threads in the Liverpool section because mods don't allow it half the time.
Whilst it's important to have rules and a certain degree of control at an internet discussion forum, the RAWK mods take it all way too seriously and seem to get off on the 'power' they have.
Basically, to survive at RAWK:
1. Talk about Instanbul a lot. They never tire of it.
2. Roy Hodgson is a fecking owl.
3. Rafa Benitez is one of the best managers to grace the Premier League. He never won it because of the owners at the time.
4. Man Utd always have a lucky manager and awful players. When Man Utd are winning, its luck OR that the refs favour United.
5. Have an imaginary friend who is a Man Utd or Everton supporter. This imaginary person always talks about how they support the best team around and that they have the best players, and has meltdowns and is actually jealous of Liverpool fans.
6. Find a player who had one very good match once and then completely overrate him whenever he doesn't play and act as if he is going to save Liverpool's season (Sakho etc).
7. Use the words Boss and La. "Lucas is boss, la." Even the RAWKites from Norway (and there are fecking loads of them) use top Scouse banter.
8. Finish every post in the fulll time match threads with "Onwards and upwards." Even if you've just been knocked out of the cup by Wolves and look awful. They've been saying it for many years now.
9. Address Klu Klux Kenneth as 'the King."
10. Address that odious cretin Robbie Folwer who looks like a monster from Dark Souls as 'God'.
Adhere to the above and you will last many years on RAWK.
Haha, it's one of those super annoying ones that isn't usually said how most people think.Was just wondering how the feck do you pronounce that one
Wait, what's going on between mods and posters on RAWK?
It's like Quadrophenia. Mods v Rawkers
AwesomeFunny how Aldridge writes for one of those papers, the Sunday World, including saying in March 2015 that Liverpool would finish eight points above United that season and get fourth(they finished six or seven points below United), and in the 10/11 season say that Nani's goal against Tottenham was one of the most disgraceful things he's ever seen in football.
So it's their forums provided of course they don't actually voice a contrary opinion.
Do the people who only use RAWK as a ticket exchange really care what opinions people post given that they must not read them?

Ah, a play on words of one of the scummiest organisations in history..... how apt?
Is it a default to refer to Fowler as God? Or is it the other way around, where ''Thank God for that'' ends up printed out as ''Thank Fowler for that'' <--- not sure.
The recent controversial banning of a highly regarded poster (lets call them HRP) was over name calling I think, but with a twist. It is tricky to discern from the thread (possible deletion cover-up). They were arguing about Hendo in the Henderson thread, curiously enough. And HRP was in the very pro camp & a bit lonely therein of the said camp. But he stuck to it for yonks & was using impressive stats & & links & quotes & stuff but under heavy fire when there was an exchange of name calling & apparently HRP said that he didn't want to necessarily be regarded as being purely from the mould of a social justice warrior top red or something & occasionally wanted to rebel a bit - exactly what I couldn't find, tbh.
edit - not sure now if he was for or against JH, tbh
Anyway, this is brilliant - he got shopped to the mods for denigrating the Hillsborough campaign who after extensive consideration upheld the Complaint thought it was very serious & could not resist unleashing the HAMMER of BAN. It than transpired that those people who he might have been perceived to be insulting didn't think it was worth bothering over & have it would seem given the mods a bit of in-house stick (possibly also deleted I think).
That is only my interpretation & guesswork.

Don't know if it's the same guy, but there was some stuff quoted in here a month or so ago, where the poster was banned for his political views. He wasn't a rabid socialist, like the RAWK mods like to think is what the Liverpool fan base should be, and was got rid of. Hadn't insulted anyone, hadn't been reported, hadn't done anything other than argue from a sort of capitalism point of view. Lots of posters he was debating with were unhappy about it, too.
Found it. His crime? He likes to fly first class

This is the thing that makes me laugh. Loads of the Liverpool suppprters I know are right wing cockneys in their 50s!
different guy - latest one was genuinely quite well liked - think it was a little bit of a ''with regret'' offing rather than your man & his different point of view which they can't be having because...Found it. His crime? He likes to fly first class

Re-our team

After seeing the mods on the last page telling people to feck off quite frequently, one poster gets a warning for jokingly telling his mate to feck off. When he points out that it's all been taken out of context, the ban still stands.

basically admitting our back up is better than theirs
(I've gone here, , and I've not even read this yet)
aha, here's a thread talking about the latest banning here
http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=334504.0
got locked early doors, obviously
edit - ah, he was using stats from a vaguely Sun connected site & when called on this said something like ''blah blah don't comeback at me with'' or ''let's not involve Social Justice Warrior stuff'' or something
thus singlehandedly destabilising the entire Hillsborough Campaign he had to go, innit?

What, like a natural disaster appeal? Bankets, tinned food, etc?
the vaguely sun connected site being whoscored 
Reminds me of Trump supporters.
Has anyone had a browse through their Chelsea pre-match thread? One of the most utterly baffling things I've read in a long time. Since they lost to Wolves at home they're now convinced they're going to "smash these plastics", win at least 3-0 and probably win the title as well, and anyone who suggests they might not gets showered with abuse and ridicule.
I just can't get my head around it, how did they arrive to this conclusion? It's genuinely bizarre
