ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[Pienaar's gloves]

Physically threatened !! Christ...... Had a feeling it would be like this. You say you knew the lad too ? Mate there was literally only one option in this instance and that was to nut the little beaut. Right between the eyes on the crown of his nose. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.

I would have loved to, might have been a threat to my otherwise clean criminal record like! I was being disrespectful to their dead apparently - I forgot that you had to support a certain football team to be affected by losing a friend or family member...

Who are these neutrals? who is neutral concerning football?
What about all the neutrals at every premier ground singing that steven gerrard song?

They're the mythical creatures that Liverpool supporting hacks have invented in order to scribble and talk about their own obsession on the sly to a national audience who either dont actually give a [Poor language removed] about Liverpool or despise them.

A good post on RAWK.....

I see nothing as changed on RAWK since I last posted on here: some decent posters who are prepared to contragulate City but a large percentage who come out with the old bollocks about buying trophies. Of course Liverpool have never bought trophies - every decent player has come through the ranks - I remember John Barnes, Peter Beardlsey, Ian Rush, Graham Souness etc. when they were playing in your youth team. How many times have Liverpool broken the transfer record? Fact is that football teams have been buying the league for many years - we won't be the first and we certaintly won't be the last. Strange that Liverpool use this as an excuse for why they haven't won the title for so many years yet they have no explanantion for why Man United are the most successful premier league club - they have had no petro-millions or sugar daddy.

Problem with many Liverpool fans this season (and I'm not saying all) is that they started celebrating the title weeks ago. T shirts being printed (all over the internet), adverts for jobs for stewards on the open top bus tour and singing "were going to win the league" - no wonder the team was under pressure in the final games. This was coupled with a media frenzy - all the ex-Liverpool pundits saying how Liverpool deserved to win it, Stevie G deserved the title for his loyalty ..ad nauseum. But for me using the death of 96 innocent people as a motivational factor for winning the title was in very bad taste and I can't believe the club went down that route. I think most neutrals originally rooted for Liverpool but I think by the end of the season the behaviour of the fans/club coupled with the media love in swung opinion in the opposite direction. I don't blame any fans for being excited but there is a difference between excitement and arrogance - I would have associated this behaviour with Rags not Liverpool fan. Your team were on top and playing great football but surely some humility and quiet confidence wouldn't have gone amiss.

Great post, way too sensible to have been written by a kopite though.

I hate...HATE the term 'small time'. Some of their fans seem to direct it at supporters who have the audacity to act like normal fans and take the piss. Are you not allowed to laugh at clubs who have more trophies? How can you pass judgement on a fan of another club when you have just decided to support a team that you have no connection to? Anyone can just decide to support Liverpool, there's nothing wrong with that if you're that way inclined but don't put yourself on a pedestal above genuine supporters who have their team in their blood. I'm not criticising out of town fans as we have them ourself, I do however believe they should show a little humility and not chastise proper fans (yeah I said it) by clinging onto a history that they're not a part of.

Did you not know that Liverpool Football Club is the only team in the country with any history?

I'm in genuine shock here. A sensible RAWK post.

He'll be taken out and shot for posting something like that on there though. Its a cult.

Sounds like it's a City fan. Regardless, such sensible discourse will not be welcomed on RAWK

Selective history as if we bring up ours we are just living in the past.

It's hilarious, they take the piss out of us for not winning anything for ages (fair enough I suppose, I'm thick skinned) yet constantly bang on about their past. It's all quite baffling.

 

[bflefc]

so they had nothing else to do but roam about town singing shanties.

In tears here!! lol

As if they weren't all collectively creaming themselves two years ago when City pipped Utd to the title.

Sensible discourse?

Unless someone is posting stuff like "make us believe" "we go again" "we don't slip now"

Insisting they've never had a net spend in a transfer window ever

No one's interested

Just like to thank City for saving me from a Summer of misery, thank you City, thank you ! You are now my second favourite team.

They hate any team that has sustained success because they have a warped sense of entitlement. In the past they have criticised the state of The Premier League to make themselves feel better. They console themselves by saying the standard is [Poor language removed], they mumble things like 'best league in the world hahaha' to belittle other clubs achievements. I haven't heard that this season. Funny that...

 

[deipnosophist]

A lot of what's Rawkish, is mawkish
and the remainder?...
...it's dorkish.
