Someone needs to have a go at Klopp again. Remind him they've had 1 less penalty than us this season, whilst Leicester have had more than anyone.
haha, wouldn't it be brilliant if Ole said that in the press conference before the game, play a bit of Fergie style jedi mind games with the fecking lama looking feck!

I love my club, nothing will ever ever change that but the cheating, xenophobia, double standards and social media obsessed media are definitely making it hard to enjoy, Really hard
This is different. There is something rotten about how the game is being run in this country. Whether it is simply an old boys club covering up for each others inadequacies or something worse, I'm not sure. But if Utds pens and the decisions that have continually gone against us are just outliers then there's going to have to be one hell of a reversion to the mean; and that's before I even get to the tiresome commentators, pundits and media in general that are desperate for content.
I'll be happy if i never see that blue nosed cnut Carragher again or have to listen to Martin Tyler wank himself silly over us conceding a goal.

There is a theory out there that we are being punished because of the Super League proposals we were part of. Where I feel that theory falls down is the fact Man United were joint right of the forefront of that proposal too, yet rather than being punished, they are being gifted penalty after penalty and point after point by officials more generous than Santa Claus himself.

Now I know they are the establishment club and media darlings, while we are the Che Guevara of football, but punishing one of the ringleaders and putting your tongue up the arse of the other doesn't really make much sense. The Mancs are more of a money making industry than a football club these days, so keeping them sweet with points and penalty gifts would only cut so much ice with them. They'd sell their grannies to be part of a Super League if it took off and they'd not give the PL a second thought.

As far as a SL is concerned, I was never a fan, but with the way things are now, what have we to lose? This league treats one of its biggest and greatest clubs with contempt, so deserves to be viewed with contempt in return. The PL makes obscene money off the back of LFC, yet look at how the club is treated in return. This is a league that allows horrific dictatorships to purchase clubs here in order to Sportswash murderous, women-hating, homophobic regimes, yet treats one of its biggest and greatest assets with utter contempt.

I really wonder do the people who post
this kind of stuff genuinely believe it or are they just so deep in their devout fandom that on some deluded level this actually makes sense or are they simply off their heads on drink or drugs.

I hope they are off their head, because if you believe this in the cold light of day then they have serious mental issues.

It’s getting in my tits now because it’s starting to look like there’s something genuinely going on with us and United

I mean it can’t just happen week after week after week

Or can it, and if so why is it happening then? Coincidence ?

That’s all there is left if you abandon bias towards united

They could beat us at anfiekd it’s not beyond the realms. That would put them a potential 6pts ahead of us. Are they that good? Not a chance in hell
Honstly has to be more than a coincidence at this point. I've never seen a side get so many bad decisions with any 50:50 not go their way and then there's utd who get any 50:50 decision. The net swing in points is huge.

Enjoy the meltdown. Even the dippers on the cafe are piping up with there own crazy views. Such a psychologically damaged fanbase. The United boogeyman and the corrupt FA are taking a dump in their trash bins and they’re losing their minds.

This just tickled me on a Sky Sports post

Sammy W: Typical bindipper comment

Craig A: bin dipper you’re from Nigeria

Sammy W: still doesn't change the fact that scousers are bin dippers

Not watching any football at the moment. It's just not football for me with all the blatant cheating, VAR, and no fans being in the ground.
The constant shitty decisions and knowing we absolutely will not catch a break has ground me down.
I want to watch us play, but I don't want to get divorced by losing my shit and booting the telly in.
It's the officials that are the shit thing about the season, the bias, selective refereeing and all the diving and cheating they facilitate.

Before this season I've pretty much watched all of the matches under Klopp and thoroughly enjoyed the last couple of years. I admire the way Klopp and his team have achieved success with hardwork, honesty and integrity rather than excessive spending and turning to the dark arts, and its really refreshing in this day and age.

This season I've watched the team and something just doesn't seem right, the warning signs have been there for a while versus the likes of Leeds and Villa. I didn't watch the derby game, I don't know why but I had a really bad feeling about that match beforehand and when I heard about Virgil's injury I felt physically sick. Then when I saw the Mane VAR pictures, it was quite clear that they were going out of their way to disallow the goal. As for Pickford, I've said for a ages that it was only a matter of time before he injured someone because he has history for it, but for some reason he keeps getting away with it. It's just a shame that it happened to be one of our players.

Its been mentioned in other threads that we've been getting fecked over by referees for years, just think of Atkinson, especially at Old Trafford. You have certain referee's that have already decided that they are giving you feck off even before a ball is kicked. I've had it myself when I used to play, some of them just take a personal dislike to you or they have a bee in their bonnet such as they don't like swearing, tackles from behind or timewasting etc. but to be honest, that never bothered me and you adjust your game accordingly.

Obviously in the Pro game there is more at stake and the idea of VAR was to stop clangers and provide more fairness in cases where the referee has got it wrong. I think back to last season and the Wolves game, Taylor has rocked up and decided to give us nothing, he's disallowed a goal even before it hits the back of the net. It goes to VAR and the goal is rightly given, cancelling out his bias. I don't know what has happened this year but its as if this bias is now being reinforced by VAR and in some cases increasing that bias e.g. Sheff United and Brighton 'non' penalties being given. So we've now reverted back to being shafted by the referee on the field but with the added bonus of being shafted by the VAR muppet, effectively playing against 13 men now!

Its becoming comical now, open season with violence against our players going unpunished, whilst a freekick and a yellow card is given when an opposition player is not even touched but dives and screams - they are of course cheating but the referees are enablers for this behaviour. Falling for the cheating is showing that they don't actually know the game and that could be the reason why we don't get the decisions because our players are not diving cheats or it could be that the referees are just bias. The more I watch games, and I've watched a lot more of other teams this year, the more I think it is the latter. Put it this way, if you've got Martin feckING Tyler commenting on the 'none' foul on Salah the other night then alarm bells should be ringing - even he sounds embarrassed by it now.

The problem with this gang of referees now is its too cosy, cushy whatever, its like a gang of mates who are untouchable and the fact that they are all white Englishmen is not a good look and I wonder what the conversation sounds like when they all get together. They'll all talk about teams and players and this is where the group opinions will be formed, not necessarily consciously.

So then we come on to the actual football of our great team, it felt like that defeat was coming - it probably should have happened at Fulham but for the miracle of actually getting a penalty. We've seen some exceptional performances this season against the likes of Leicester, Wolves and Spurs but generally our level has dropped significantly and there have been quite a few terrible performances now. The players look knackered both physically and emotionally which is understandable given the year we've all been through so I can't be critical of them. I think Klopp has been affected too, some of his decisions have been odd. I know that we've had a lot of injuries but the use of some squad players might have been better and he hasn't managed to affect games with his substitutions, the timings have been odd. It feels like he is just trying to nurse us through this period difficult period and still get the results, it hasn't paid off. Look he's the best manager we've ever had and has earned any benefit of doubt. The club has definitely slipped up by not ensuring cover for what is essentially only two reliable CBs, they've got nearly everthing right but that has been a mistake, perhaps covid was a factor in not being able to sign someone.

For the first time in years, I'm actually dreading watching one of our games now but I'm hopeful that we will improve when Matip and Jota return. These low points are what makes the highs so special.

A lot of these officials have it in for us, but there's no blowback for fecking us over, so they just keep doing it. I do think no fans helps in this regard. Against Wolves the fans in the ground went ballistic when Coady got a pen and that wasn't just about that decision, it was months worth of frustration built up over other decisions as well. These feckers have had nobody on their backs all season.

It also helps that we seem fair game to feck over. Especially this season because the media want their title race, so they'll say nothing if refs cost us points because they want us to lose. With the Phil Thompson sacking we lost the one genuine red left in the mainstream media who'd fight our corner.

Jesus wept. That is glorious. It really has everything. That’s like the post equivalent of that GIF that enables you to see something new every time. You could read that post multiple times and find a new and hilarious piece of nonsense every time.

Wow forget how masterful they are at self pity! Weird that the Scousers I have met in Liverpool are nothing like them and I stayed in bloody Toxteth a few days!

The collective pretense of not even being angry, just worn down and disheartened by such blatant cheating of their team is SO SO SO cringeworthy.

Like they know they're full of shit but seem to think this tact gives them more credibility than just ranting and raving and that if they all take this approach everybody will have to see it their way. It's so bloody embarrassing :lol:

gotta hand it to the scousers on RAWK, they're amazing at self deprecating humour at times

Centre half was a weak link in there team for few seasons, Klopp seen that so signed Van Diiyk, did he think he’d never get injured though. They hardly had any injuries last season and now can’t seem to accept they’re not the greatest ever, not that they were.

That + only Mane looks up for getting at players it seems.

I’d love a title win neck and neck with Liverpool again. RAWK was phenomenal in 08/09. Was just reading through their thread of our 5-2 v Spurs the other day. Unfortunately I think they’re better than us which will show in the long run, and if we challenge which we look like we might we may see the Caf hit crazy meltdown levels. It’s sometimes just as bad on here nowadays as RAWK was then.

Key difference between us and RAWK is that we allow opposition teams to be praised when they have a good reason and even sometimes let us get carried away with it. On the other hand, you would be hard pressed to find such viewpoints in RAWK (and Bluemoon).

That match & the Macheda winner v. Villa are epic threads.

I know someone else that did one of those charity trips. Built a school and laid some plumbing so the village could have clean water. Very noble!

I hope the next penalty they get Salah or Mane misses it. It'll be the slip 2.0. Will never happen but it would be feckin hilarious.

Bit of reality

How many penalties have they had this season? I saw a stat on Twitter stating they’ve had 6 and we’ve had 5.. that can’t be right surely? It feels like they get one every bloody game
This one is glorious

This is more blatant than anything seen in Ferguson’s day because video evidence is being tailored to suit them.
The videos are being tailored to suit united? I think his brain is trying to say we are actually being awarded fair penalties, he might get there eventually.

I don't know what I would pay to see us score a last minute winner at Anfield in the vein of Watford vs Leicester playoffs.

If they're back into wilderness after this "real" boom, I can't imagine the scale of bust would result right afterward. Even at this stage, their insecurity already shows its glory.
