After a careful selection of cliche posts on RAWK the award has to go to this beauty….

We are Liverpool FOOTBALL Club. We are not a sports washing vehicle for murderous despots who are willing to throw multiple billions at a reputation cleansing project. We operate within the rules of the game, but are trying to compete with a regime that doesn't.

The playing field is nowhere near level. We are playing a legitimate game against someone who has bought all the cheat codes. Facts are, those with the cheat codes should come out on top almost every time.

Personally, I wouldn't want us to be like them. We are human, and as such we will be affected by injuries to crucial players. We will play below par once in a while and lose too. This is the nature of life and the nature of the game. The sports washers? Well they are playing a different game altogether. With unlimited unearned wealth they can play fantasy football manager and build a virtual club. One top player is injured, and they just slot in another off-the-shelf purchase to take his place. They don't have to worry about injuries. They don't have to worry about finances. They have no jeopardy to be concerned with. It's all just like a soulless computer game, but one real football clubs have to try to compete with.
...
To me, we can only be ourselves and concentrate on ourselves. We can only strive to be the best Liverpool we can be, then see where that takes us. Even as it stands, we are the best non-sportswash team on the planet, with the best non-fantasy football manager in the game. I'd take that every single time over being a soulless abomination like Abu Dhabi FC.

We are what we are, and I'm more than happy with who and what we are too. Yes, we'll lose the odd game. No, we won't be perfect. It's probable we won't win the league, but we'll give it our all anyway. The odds are against us, but if one team, one club, one manager can beat the odds, you know who that is. I'll take that.

The soulless, robotic, cheat-code sports washers might Lance Armstrong their way to another meaningless title, but I thank my lucky stars Liverpool FC are nothing like them. We are what we are, and I'm glad of that.

How on earth did a scouser come up with so much rubbish ?

This RAWK insanity is a small clip from a long rambling post about VAR.

With all the money and prestige involved there could be any number of different actors trying to exploit the holes in the system; gambling syndicates, individuals within the game, clubs, states, agencies, investors. Some of them will obviously try.

I am not saying that, for instance, Man Citiy are actually involved in corruption when it comes to directly influencing the outcomes of specific matches. However with regimes such as the Saudis, the Quataries, Abu Dhabi and the russian mafia for that matter, where the actual club owners are kidnapping their own daugthers, putting wives in housearrest, chopping up journalists into pieces, "sentencing the killers" to life in prison (while the threshold for death penalty is appalingly low) and then actually providing them with a life of luxury, kidnapping or buying small boys to train as jockeys for their horse racing obsession, killing quite a few in the process and literally starve thousands of people to death, WHY WOULD ANYONE THINK THAT THEY WOULD NOT CHEAT IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE TO GET WHAT THEY WANT??? It's not like they have ever shown an ounce of moral or ethical behaviour in any other aspect of life? We also know that they're already cheating on the financial side of the game.
It's not like I think they would just phone up Anthony Taylor and ask him how much to make sure City win. But would I be surprised if the Saudis knew everything Tierney downloaded or watched on his computer? Would I be surprised if the Quataris somehow had created an "asian gambling syndicate" that apparently tried to brieb people for their own "fiancial" gain? ...etc....
To be clear, I am NOT saying that any of this is actually happening as we speak. What I am saying is that, in my view, there's no doubt that there will be actors with the will and the means to make this happen if it is possible and that because of the way the game is run, the back door most certainly is unlocked.
And until the people in charge of the game actually makes an effort to lock that door, I don't think that it is unreasonable, in face of a mountain of really questionable incidents within the game, to question the integrity of those involved.

It's difficult to grasp this mindset, it's simply beyond me, how does a guy like this navigate his daily life?

Conveniently ignores ALL the DODGY decisions in their favour from refs and VAR. A clear example of the things going their way was in this morning's game when Mane should have created a new world record. The first player to be sent off in the first minute.

Think the other tragedies didn’t get such media viewing due to them not being a huge cover up ............ what happened at Hillsborough was disgusting and credit to the folk who campaigned for an inquiry had they not done that then South Yorkshire police would have got away with it :(

Dear o dear where do you start, first of all a dipper calling others "murderous" has to be the biggest lack of self awarness possible. Are they that stupid or just totally braindead??

That was written by someone who is clearly unaware that the fans of the club he purports to support were responsible for getting all the other clubs in the country banned from European competition for five years because of their despicable behaviour.
