You mean like a player being very harshly sent off when they're losing, allowing them to come back and win? No, that never happens for Liverpool

exactly.Yeah im sure hes banned now...
Kind of like Steven Gerrard does? This morning I watched him ref your match at Bolton. I lost count of the number of times he approached the referee to contest decisions given against you. Even when you had been given the decsion he was in the refs ear bitching about something.
Whoops, I'll amend the original. How silly of me....
as did Johnny Giles, Graham Souness and Lee Dixon.
A nazi collaborator......jaysus that's a bit much isn't it...it's just a game these people need to get a grip.
When he starts dumping bodies of scousers off of Albert Dock, I'd be more inclined to believe that "Nazi collaborator" bullshit
Immediately after Diaby's own goal:
Then
the reaction the 5 added minuted in the match thread was just as funny tbh
He's the captain, he has the right to speak with the ref, I'm talking about your lot surrounding the ref's,eyes bulging pushing and shoving, which was a regular and orchestrated performance in the early 90's
Murph, honest question, what'd you make of your lots game v Bolton?
This is not actually from RAWK but from a similar site. Apparently they have a list of Football Cheats and this one is about Rooney vs Blackburn in 2008:
Liverpool-Kop: FOOTBALL CHEATS: No 5 - Wayne Rooney (Blackburn v Manchester United, 2008)
Needless to say that Gerrard is nowhere in their lists....

I like the way that they keep saying in that about him diving yesterday. Thay aren't for real.
I have now seen the incidents that led to the Bolton sending-off yesterday - now that's a joke. Maybe the first was right as he, apparently, kicked the ball away but the second was a pure accident as Lucas stopped suddenly to ensure he was tickled from behind so he could go down. A free kick, yes but a booking; absolutely no way. Also Lucas was refereeing the whole game in a Gerrard/Mascherano way all game. They are a horrible mass of slime really.
In fairness that site did say
Cheers for answering, and sorry I'm so incredibly slow - I didn't see this until now.
Good to know you find the conspiracy theories as stupid as the rest of us. For what it's worth, my Liverpool supporting mates find the tinhats over at RAWK a complete embarrassment too.
Regarding the part I've bolded, we really should be proud you're giving Sir Alex so much credit as a Machiavellian mover & shaker, but I honestly think 'surrounding the ref' has been a natural part of football since the game began.
It's probably increased, as concepts like 'sportsmanship' & ' respect for authority' have decreased in importance, but it's certainly not Sir Alex's invention in any way.
Like you write "the captain [...] has the right to speak with the ref". Some of our captains, eg Keane, doing so very forcefully & looking a bit mental is more down to their general personality than any master plan by Sir Alex, I think.
for the love of batman?
There's a difference between 'speaking with the ref' and trying to dictate the decisions completely. I remember him trying to point to someone giving him a bit of a tug in a game against Sheff Utd a few years back; never a penalty, but the fact he kept pointing to the guy won him it. It's things like that. Gerrard harangues the ref like nobody's business, and it's success is shown by the fact he gets decisions even when he trips himself up by cleverly trailing a leg behind himself.
He does try and ref the game, and almost gives himself free kick decisions sometimes. If you could remove your bias for a minute, you might see that, Murph.
Yes he's the captain and he has the right to speak to the ref, but he questions virtually every free kick given against you with that stupid pained look on his face. Plus even when you get the free kicks he seems to get involved in conversations with the ref where he is asking for cards. He is a fecking snidey twat. Ask Tony Hibbert what he thinks of the cnut.
As for the United players "surrounding refs, eyes buging, pushing and shoving" that incident with Andy D'urso against Middlesborough happened about a decade ago and its still being used as a stick to beat us by simpletons who are too stupid to realise that we haven't had anything like a repeat performance since. In particular fans of teams like Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea, teams that have had major disciplinary incidents on the pitch since that incident.
There's a mental conspiracy-theorist in the poker thread over there too. Not just the FA against them!
Got a quiet evening in tonight, and a bad cold, so I figured a giggle and an update from RAWK might be some fun
RAWK was quite funny this weekend. Few of them were interested in their own CC draw, the first question was 'Who did United get'. I found that to be quite amusing and telling really.
I also came across a post yesterday where someone had lamented Andy@Allerton (sorry to namecheck him, and thus give him some debatable e-cred) stopping discussing United games as they 'would miss his reasonable insight'. I guess that's what the barometer of 'reasonable' is on RAWK then?
A few thoughts from the delightful folk at Red and White Kop on our game yesterday:
I will admit though, that most of them in there begrudgingly admitted it was a penalty, and reacted reasonably to the Van Persie offside, and there was generally less Anti-Rooney venom than usual. Probably a slightly less hostile atmosphere there because they'd already got their win yesterday (and with the Sean Davis sending off, how could they complain about decisions at OT, really). Still a few proper feckwits in their weekend matches thread though, as you might expect.
*Awaits volley of abuse from Murph*

Yes, because you don't fling piss and shit at our fans, hurl bricks at us outside the ground, and sing disgusting songs about Munich, and fly a toy aeroplane round in the away section at OT. Hypocritical fecks.Impartial Observer said:
Yes, because they didn't get another very cheap sending off for a standard foul and an innocuous challenge (deserving of one yellow overall) which helped them gain momentum so their one decent attacking presence in midfield could score.Another RAWKITE said:

They're complaining about the injustice of it all (big surprise!) and that SAF gets away with this every week. Wasn't he given a 2 match ban last season or season before for ranting about refs?
Ferguson has been charged at least three times over the last two seasons.
so now they're blaming inanimate objects like football grounds?
I don't understand this logic of theirs... Poll didn't say that he was pressured by the managers or the players, but by OT itself (possibly the crowd/atmosphere?)
Watch out lads - the matchgoers among us are part of the conspiracy it seems.

so he emails a paper that knows as much about football as he obviously does? And here is me thinking they didn't want any american involvement with their club?
So, the crowd gets constantly slated for it's atmosphere and being quiet but it's being suggested that it's actually the crowd/atmosphere that's intimidating
yes it's the silent displeasure that does it, apparently!So, the crowd gets constantly slated for it's atmosphere and being quiet but it's being suggested that it's actually the crowd/atmosphere that's intimidating
What the feck is the point of emailing the NY Times?
Emailing American newspapers
When you're on the dole, you've got to find something to occupy your time, I guess.Emailing American newspapers
but you wouldn't think the risk of breaking into a house with internet access would be worth it
We love taking the piss out of RAWK
It's much better than eating cold pork
Everytime we look on there
Andy@Allerton is having a 'mare
But they keep up hope and show no fear
Because everybody thinks it's happening next year.

Ridiculous stuff anyway this. Hopefully the American journalist they wrote to will realise it's a bunch of ridiculous conspiracy theory garbage, but with the poor understanding of 'soccer' most of them seem to have, I'm not so confident. Good to see they've got something to wallow in self-pity about anyway, even when there's no football actually being played.
