RAWK Goes Into Lockdown 25/26 Shieldless Edition - £500m down the drain, the champions have dropped points again!

How was that interfering with the gk? He could see everything and wasn’t impeded in any way. Similar goals have been allowed, including against us.

There’s nothing wrong with getting out of the way of the ball: it is not an obvious action to influence the gk. Unless you are impeding him or his view of the path of the ball.

I love seeing the scousers done in, but it was the wrong call.
If he wasn't standing there the GK may have been half a step the other way. Either way, when you stand in a offside position 4 yards from goal and duck significantly out of the way of a shot that goes in, it isn't surprising it gets flagged for offside (this was an on the field decision which also increases the bar for VAR.)

However, as this is the Dippers it obviously requires a National Enquiry.

Flagging the offside is fine, the ref has to decide whether the offside player interfered or not.

He did not, therefore the decision was wrong.

We got a goal against us a long while back where a cnut was standing in an off side position right next to Onana during a free kick, with the obvious goal of distracting him.

That one should have been disallowed.

I disagree on that. His ducking fooled the goalkeeper; if Robertson had been standing still, the ball would've hit him. He had to get out of the way so that the ball could pass him, thus activating himself in an offside position.

How do you know he didn’t interfere? His presence, the ball going in his direction and ducking action may led Donnaruma to think for a split second that he was going to head it, and that delay may have influenced his ability to make a save. On balance it’s the right call.
 
It didn't fool the keeper. Donnarruma is never reaching it because he's already adjusting his feet to move to the centre of the goal when Virgil heads the ball. If anyone is preventing him from "predicting" the direction of the ball according to Van Dijk's body position, that's his own teammate and not Robertson. It's one of those that are correct by the strict letter of the law, but demand a bit of nuance from the officials.
 
Go to another thread for serious discussion!
 
VvD was clearly jumping for it with 2
Feet in the air so it not only should be disallowed, they should ban him for 9 months and dock Liverpool points
 
We need The National Enquirer, MPs, Parliament, The Daily Mail, Donald J Trump and his lawyers, a Gov.UK petition and Jurgen Klopp interview to get to the bottom of this, as it’s one of the biggest travesties in modern history, akin to the vilification of the former prince Andrew
 
RAWK Goes Into Meltdown is going into Meltdown due to a lack of RAWK going into Meltdown
 
Where's all the poetry and conspiracy theories? This thread has gone to shit.
Klopp's hat hid an antenna that allowed him to mind control the refs and hack into VAR to ignore every offside position and foul.

Now that baldy is in charge the only reason they were still winning at first is because of the residual decision making altering effects taking some time to wear off. Don't be surprised to see Slot with a hat on the rest of the season.
 
I'm in lads, from RAWK

City v Liverpool
Slot should refuse to come out for the second half. Only way these pricks will ever do anything is when their most marketable club decide to feck off. It’s beyond a joke. We’ve been shit, but teams often play shit and get results. We’ve been blatantly cheated and it’s changed the game.
Corruption
Same points as United. That's how you know a title challenge isn't happening.
No fight, no possession, no Plan B, no hunger... unacceptable from LFC players and coaches.

Serious questions need to be asked about the coach’s decisions as well. We look like a man down with Salah’s contribution at the moment, yet players who could make a difference are sitting on the bench.
No intensity, hardly feels like they want to win it, definitely not winning any 50/50s. Really awful watch. Been like this for a while. Not sure which piece of the puzzle we are to focus mostly on, but it can't go on like this.
What’s the fecking point.

Such a huge difference between 1-1 and 0-2 at half time.
Ibou was dreadful again, he's seriously lost his head this season. Wtf was he thinking for the pen?
Back to looking lost, no plan, no speed, no aggression & appearing like they’ve never played together before. Losing is shit but it happens. Looking like we don't have any idea how we're supposed to play, again, is extremely worrying.
Horrible weather
Horrible outcome and performance
Worse officiating
Top 4 will be a struggle of this keeps up.make no mistske about it.
Why the feck did we go back to our usual shit on a stick, passing the ball round the defenders after that performance midweek. That was abysmal yet again. Carrying salah in away games isn’t going to work anymore. There needs to be a decision made on him cause he’s seriously bad currently. He got bullied by a kid out there today. The full setup was abysmal again as it has been for the majority of the season. Almost as if playing 1 game with high intensity has fecked is up.

Wirtz
The media seem obsessed with him, Ive just seen two articles calling him finished and a flop. Ive not seen one article calling Sesko at Man Utd a flop, a £75m pound player too, he wasnt cheap.
100%. Laughed my arse off at Neville's comments suggesting he's been getting some sort of free pass up to now - "We've been tiptoeing around him for a few months, around the fact that he's young, he's coming to a new country".
At some point, you do have start asking questions about him, too. Whether people want to admit it or not, he has been hugely underwhelming, and has shown nothing to make me think he will be a star in the premier league like we all pretty much had assumed would be the case.
Whether he makes it here or not, the good thing is that he will hold ~70% of his value in case it doesn't work out, and Bayern will be more than happy to have him, so it's not as big a deal as it may seem.
I’ve said it before but it’s hard to judge him when the whole team plays like shit. He will naturally be used as a scapegoat due to his price.

How will he hold 70% of his value? they paid 126m so 70% of his value is 88m

The corruption fallacy - they’re all out to get us!​


Oliver has been well and truly compromised. There was actually a period before he went to the UAE where he was one of the better refs in the league. He doesn’t even try and hide it anymore either. The fact he also tried to get the Haaland penalty retaken is pathetic as well. You can guarantee if that was at the other end, he wouldn’t have even bothered rechecking it.
Scandalous, it's cost us title after title and we just have to watch it year after year, it's fecking sick. And all entirely predictable before the game but it's just paranoia apparently.
Our 2020 title win is geniunely the biggest sporting achievment in history when you consider what we are up against.
I don't know how many times I've got to say this, but the sooner we get taken over by an oil rich state, this shit is going to continue. Until that day, this will continue.
No lads, dont be daft, they arent corrupt. They are just shit.
Corruptions for nasty foreign leagues, not England.
Someone at the club needs to pull their head out of their arse and do something because we’ve seen with Coote it’s a thing. He’s not acting alone.
Pedo Greater Manchester Officials Ltd.
Doing it for their boy Cootey.
Good process lads.
Just making stuff up, on a weekly basis, to screw us over

Penalties not in the box, offsides for things not in the rules, more random shit. And its always the same ones doing it
Just a reminder that Chris Kavanagh was employed by Manchester FA, who are based at the Etihad
We need to demand to hear the audio about what was said about the goal. It was not a clear and obvious mistake so why did VAR even feel the need to interfere.

We need to ask serious questions about the intervention on the VVD disallowed goal.

Who communicated with the assistant to tell him to raise his flag?
We should be demanding answers to these questions from Webb rather than meekly shrugging our shoulders and moving on. There is a small cabal of officals that have frequent game-impacting decisions that negatively affect us way way above the expected levels of "some go for you, some go against you". These are officials that have directly intervened or failed to intervene in several instances, and even if you adjust for variance and take into account incompetence, bad luck or subjective decision-making, they are way above those levels.
It's like tossing a coin 20 times in a row and it always lands on heads, when each time you say tails, and the lad tossing the coin telling you it's not rigged in some way. It beggars belief basically and we should be demanding answers or it will continue to happen. If Webb doesn't give us a thorough and credible explanation then we should release a statement saying we are losing faith in PGMOL and the standards applied by some of their officials.
Utterly corrupt!!
Did anyone also notice, how especially in second half, every possibly close offside call (one involving Mo where he probably wasnt offside) was immediately flagged, whereas in every other game and on the other side (Doku during half two) was play on to be checked afterwards.

Its those things, apart from the obvious bemding rules to Cities favour and our disatvantage as it suits them, that makes me absolutely sure those bellends are corrupt as fck.
The referring performance in the United game told us all we needed to know.

The first United goal should never had stood had he done his job properly by stopping play for MacAllister’s head injury. He was like 5 yards from the incident. Liverpool are one of a very few teams who do not feign injury. It was the same thing when Klopp was here. Every team in the league knows our players don't drop to ground to fake injury. And then a blatant handball by Amad in the penalty area not given when it was probably worse than the handball that was given against Burnley earlier in the season.

Interesting. I guess there won't be any mention of the absurd amounts of extra time they get when they are losing.
 
The brass neck on them to talk about referees. They've had favourable treatment for years. Loads of extra time when chasing a goal, many VAR calls in their favour (people literally called them LiVARpool).
 
Apparently, Fester has only been to one Liverpool game in his life, and that was against United a couple of weeks ago.
Heh heh heh heh!
I think he's a Dub.I live in Dublin.The place is full of them.Its like a cult.I remember driving down to Thurles to get to a club hurling game around 15 years ago.My son was with me.Ireland were playing Wales in the 6 Nations and we decided to watch that before the hurling.
We heard roars coming from a pub near the stadium and went in.
We found the whole place full of wanks in Liverpool shirts watching ' de Pool'.
In the heart of Tipperary!
 
Alexis MacAllister would never dive, now I've heard it all :lol:
 
Unfortunately for them City is higher up in the hierarchy of favorable decisions, Liverpool are second. Don't worry, you'll still get many soft pens, 8-14 mins added on if drawing or losing, fewer cards than you should have and 50-50s given for you in most matches.
 
They are one of the few teams who don't feign injuries.

Right.
 
I'm getting serious Donny vibes around Wirtz, too lightweight and can't handle the League.

Only Donny was around £35m and Wirtz was that plus £65m on top! Ridiculous and laughable it has to be said. As for the Isak deal....

Isak will come good - too good a player. If he can stay fit that is. Might work better when Salah goes to Saudi.

Isak has always had problems staying fit. Don't get me wrong ge isn't a perma crock but he always has 2-4 weeks here and there through a season. On top of that he is now on a large wedge and is at a top club. That sometimes changes a players perspective.

For those reasons, Isak is still wait and see. Wirtz on the other hand doesn't look equipped physically to play in the PL.
