RAWK Goes Into Meltdown (2012/2013)

[Sassy Colin]

Heard Brendan Rodgers this morning talking about 'The Liverpool Way' and how the supporters are so knowledgeable about football.

The conversion into a delusional idiot is commencing, perhaps this thread has more potential this season than 1st thought...

 

[Antisocial]

Great start by Rodgers, exactly what's needed to manipulate that lot - he'll have them safely on side soon enough and be appearing on kop flags for years to come.

Good work Mr Rodgers.

 

[ghaliboy]

I still want someone to explain how 'pass and move' football is a legitimate footballing philosophy. Not actually the basis of the entire game itself. I've heard 'I hope Rogers keeps Kenny's "pass and move" style' so many times since Dalglish was sacked.

Yeah cause it really worked for you last year..

He's a smart cookie, I think you are absolutely right here!

kin'ELL!

It must have taken him ages to find three girls that short.

They all took their high heels off and he borrowed a pair.

efa

 

[Crustanoid]

The last 3 years or so have been gold with regards to laughing at Liverpool fans....Rafa's demise, Agent Woy's demolition assignment, KKKs unparalleled one man wrecking spree of the club's name....I can't see it continuing like this forever.

 

[Irwinwastheking]

Massive improvement this year. Eufa cup qualification through the league.

Seems delusion is not exclusively limited to RAWK, this from Philip Kirkbride at the Echo:

Blood Red: What does the past week tell us about Liverpool FC target Gylfi Sigurdsson?

GILFYI SIGURDSSON: football mercenary or professional realist?
Liverpool FC appear to be losing the race to sign the 22-year-old Icelandic international after Tottenham Hotspur agreed to meet his high wage demands.
The Reds made him a generous offer but it seems he sees his future elsewhere.

At a club with no manager no less.

We were led to believe the prospect of joining up with Brendan Rodgers again was reward enough for Sigurdsson.
But maybe not.
So what does this tell us about the player?

That he cares more about money than what may be best for his career as a football?
Or is that the point?
His time as a paid footballer could be cut short at any time so why shouldn’t Sigurdsson earn as much money as he possibly can?

Of course, what Liverpool were offering was lucrative by anyone’s standards.
Being paid a five figure sum each week to play football is beyond the wildest dreams for most of us.
Maybe Sigurdsson should just have been grateful for what the Reds offered.

If he completes a move to Spurs it most certainly reaffirms the notion that Liverpool are no longer the draw they once were.
But by refusing to overpay for a player yet to prove himself, the Reds are showing steel and unity.

Rodgers and Liverpool want Sigurdsson – but not at any price.

 

[Sassy Colin]

I lol'ed...

 

[Irwinwastheking]

So a club with better players, better facilities, better ground, better city, higher league finish last season are offering him more money he's a mercenary.

That's real journalism.

 

[Snow]

They offered him 15k per week. Same as Swansea was paying. He had more than that at Hoffenheim.

 

[VoetbalWizard]

did it meltdown today again over gylfi? I can't seem to lurk to see what the vermin are saying.

 

[Irwinwastheking]

It seems the website is down.

 

[Olly Gunnar Solskjær]

How come RAWK has been down for so long?

 

[charleysurf]

RAWK junkies starting to freak out.

 

[SteveJ]

Maybe they've 'banned' non-members?

 

[charleysurf]

What if...it never comes back! All the pseudo-scousers in Dublin and Norway will be out roaming the streets banging on about poor Rafa to frightened normals.

 

[Damien]

How come RAWK has been down for so long?

Well the URL is working now but it looks like the site isn't there:

http://redandwhitekop.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi
http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php

Looks like they've moved to a different server and something messed up along the way.

 

[SteveJ]

Frogie strikes again.

 

[ghaliboy]

Sky's fault.

 

[Irwinwastheking]

What if...it never comes back! All the pseudo-scousers in Dublin and Norway will be out roaming the streets banging on about poor Rafa to frightened normals.

If you're going to have a pop at OOT's you'd want to take a look at your own club and this forum which has more 'pseudo mancs' than anything else.

 

[girish]

it's back.

is that kind of like City wanting to fill a 90k seater but not with plastics?..

 

[Badunk]

Carroll's link up play has looked world-class (his touch the other day for England was sexy)

World class nonsense. When this donkey does anything a normal footballer can do, it gets magnified into something amazing by this lot.

 

[SharkyMcShark]

While the media laud the virtues of the 4-2-3-1, they still mock the man they vilified for playing that ‘negative’ formation in England. While they gasp at Spain’s aggressive pressing, they still don’t understand that Benitez Liverpool were playing that way off the ball before Spain had even won a major tournament

Forgot that Benitez was coaching Liverpool in 1963.

Aged 3.

 

[Solius]

Not so much RAWK, but still.

June 16 - Liverpool FC News ‏@LiverpooIFCNews

Sigurdsson is a great signing, 22 years old, 18 appearances, 7 goals and 4 assists from midfield for Swansea last season.


15 minutes ago - Liverpool FC News ‏@LiverpooIFCNews

Glad the Sigurdsson saga is over now, he was hyped up for weeks but reality is 99% of us didn't know who he was before Swansea loan.

 

[crappycraperson]

 

[Dobba]

Brilliant

 

[thegregster]

This is just the sort of thing that was needed to kick off the RAWK delusion 2012/13.

 

[evra]

So Rafa invented Tiki Taka?

 

[EricaNo7]

So Rafa invented Tiki Taka?

Tikka kebabs maybe

 

[Irwinwastheking]

Exactly. They'll have to breed like pikeys if they want to fill even a 45000 seater with 'real' citey fans in the next 20 years.

Tikka kebabs maybe

Well played madam!

 

[ghaliboy]

Lol Irwin, someone said to me Etihad could have held 200k the night of the derby last season. I replied '160k of them would have been United fans though..'

Lol we need that flow chart back out with the Downing, Jones, Young signings. classic.

Seems delusion is not exclusively limited to RAWK, this from Philip Kirkbride at the Echo:

I like the bit about a career as a football.

 

[NoLogo]

World class nonsense. When this donkey does anything a normal footballer can do, it gets magnified into something amazing by this lot.

Not to mention that 9/10 of his first touches land straight at the opponent defender. If I didn't know it better I would say his boots are made of cement, that's how heavy his touch sometimes look.

 

[Irwinwastheking]

Brendan Rodgers on Sigurdsson: "I knew what the market was & I wasn't prepared to pay anything over what I agreed to pay before." "I believed playing football will be most important to him but obviously it was important financially."

He really is playing up to the Kop delusion mentality.

 

[Snow]

Hodgson went another way than to join the hive mind and it destroyed him. Rodgers looks to have embraced the hive mind. Signs of frustrating times me thinks.
