The Banter Thread

[Newbie007]

I happen to think that the majority of long range shots are luck based, so what? I can think of one maybe two players in the past twenty years that regularly scored from outside the box, Matt Le Tissier and Steven Gerrard.

The two best goals last season were Cisse and Crouchs apparently, so people here think that they would replicate those goals time and time again in the same situations? Woud they ****, they wouldn't even score 5% of the time (yay made up statistics), but you get my point.

 

[shipinabottle]

Any player with a worth to their name should have been able to take that down on their chest under comical defending, should have been punted clear. the 2nd part is probably the easiest of any, sure i've seen Danny Welbeck round a keeper before, it's nothing special.

Goal of the season, not a chance. a decent goal yes. a long punt up the field that most people in the world condemn stoke for doing, certain.

Running at full pelt under pressure of defender and controlling it that close to your body? Yeah I very much highly doubt many players could do that as well as Suarez did.

Ah well, everyone else seems to accept how fantastic this goal was, dunno why certain ocuk posters cant

 

[Tom84]

What, the fact I think Suarez's goal is better than Cabayes? Or were you referring the Newbie saying long shots are just luck? Because one is easily argued (as most people would) that Suarez is better, the long shot stuff is a load of rubbish but you won't find the majority of Liverpool supporter's saying that, so again **** off with your crap.

It should have been, was directly at him and he reacted late, regardless Suarez's goal was better. I see you've got the out too, can't wait for the too

The reason I got the in there is because you're embarrassing yourself, I'll say this one more time very slowly it was Newbie's last 2 posts that summed up the typical Liverpool supporter NOT just 1 part of 1 of his posts.

Thinking long range shots are lucky doesn't make him an archetypal Liverpool supporter that just makes him stupid (some might argue they're one and the same thing) what does make him an archetypal Liverpool supporter though is proclaiming a Liverpool player or a goal by a Liverpool player as the best thing the PL has seen this month (maybe even the season) and then straight following that going into a thread about the Man Utd manager and saying he doesn't cut the mustard. THAT'S what makes him an archetypal Liverpool supporter.

Think you're mixing up luck and ability.

Having the ability to hit a ball with the right pace, power and accuracy is very difficult. you see a lot of players attempt it and just spaz it into row z or the corner flag. but the majority that get a blinder of a goal usually hit the target or not far off.

for instance Anderson (Row Z season ticket holder) and Ronaldo. One hit's the ball blindly, the other hit it with some much power that it alter trajectory yet still hit's the corner.

 

[Newbie007]

Think you're mixing up luck and ability.

So le Tiss and Stevie G both had more ability than everyone else of the past 20 years (in the EPL) then as they have scored more/hit the target? Sweet

thread about the Man Utd manager and saying he doesn't cut the mustard. THAT'S

Ahh, I understand now! You're getting your knickers in a twist because I said that 2 European cups in 26 years isn't cutting the mustard for the apparent Greatest ever manager (it isn't by the way, given the financial clout of the self proclaimed biggest club in the world, its abysmal)

So because I don't agree with your bias view of Fergie does that make you the archetypal Manu supporter?

Okay, so arguably the greatest thing the PL has seen this month, which a lot of non 'archetypal liverpool supporters' will agree on.
Secondly I'm pretty sure you'll find great appreciation of what ferugson has done even on rawk and how good he has been throughout his career, particularly in domestic dominance and is one of the all time greats.

So what is your opinion of an archetypal liverpool supporter, because if it is based of these two things as I explained the first a lot of people would agree as to it being contender for goal the season let alone the best this month and secondly most Liverpool supporters appreciate how successful ferguson has been so what are you getting at?

Also again you can cut out the different font sizes and the in whatever you may be attempting to achieve, have a normal conversation

 

[shipinabottle]

IMO the 'archetypal Liverpool supporter' is that they are so passionate about their club, they often wade in with blinkers left right and forward. Aggressively defensive of everything against, excessively appreciative of everything in favour of the club.

These exist for every team in the world, it just appears more so for Liverpool supporters, probably due to the culture and deep roots the club has in the community of the supporters. Hence why it seems more apparent.

Define the archetypal Man Utd supporter? If the ones on here are anything to go by the archetypal Man Utd supporter is one who shares your opinion of the manager....

A normal conversion? Is your idea of a normal conversation telling someone to **** off and that they're talking crap? Because that's how you decided to kick things off Purdy not me.

You'd be right to an extent., I've blindly defended or attempted to defend my club/players before aggressively, for it only to come and bite me in the arse, but then again it gets slapped on instantly these days along with 'victim complex' (disgusting phrase). Pretty hard to attempt to defend anything of this club now with the way people react, I mean only a few posts up you'd need to see it.

I'd also agree we defend more than other clubs, but because we have to with the **** that actually goes on surrounding ours and certain media coverage.

I'd take the word everything out though, quite a lot but really you didn't find one person defending that atrocious Suarez dive (I hope not).

A normal conversion? Is your idea of a normal conversation telling someone to **** off and that they're talking crap? Because that's how you decided to kick things off Purdy not me.

Telling someone to pee off is kicking off because you're making a massive sweeping generalization? I don't know if you come from a very posh family but pee off certainly isn't kicking off where I'm from. I see you chose to ignore the rest.

After you tell us what the archetypal Liverpool supporter is.

I appreciate everything Fergie has done for you lot, he has held your club together the past 5 years through sheer personality imo. Tbh if I was Man U supporter I would be very worried what happens when he leaves (I don't think that will happen until he gets another CL trophy mind you).

I chose to ignore the rest because it was rubbish, I've seen what's posted on RAWK and it's nothing like what you're describing, it's full of people wishing injury on Man Utd players, calling the supporters inbreds, wishing death on the manager with very few not referring to him as either 'bacon face', 'whiskey nose' or whatever other little anecdotes they think up

And to answer your question no I'm not from a posh family but I dont need to be to know that you dont start a conversation with **** off or insinuating someone's talking crap if all you want is to have a normal conversation with them.

EDIT: And to answer you and Newbie my idea of the 'archetypal' Liverpool supporter is exactly what shipinabottle said.

 

[Tummy]

It was a sublime goal from Suarez. It won't beat a 30 yard Roy of the Rovers strike to goal of the month or season though

 

[Tummy]

I'd be really careful saying '**** off', I was supsended for telling an idea to '**** off'.

Might want to edit that out

Yes there is that on RAWK, like I'm sure there is the opposite on red cafe, there is a passionate hatred for ferguson, there is also immence jealousy which people will admit to on what he has achieved and how great he has been. Just like United fans have had their anecdotes for our managers/players , as for ignoring the rest yeah it must be rubbish considering the majority agree Suarez's was better.

I won't tell you you are talking crap if you don't make massive sweeping generalizations about our support? Was hardly starting a conversation either, just telling you to **** off with that garbage as an addition to my post, you turned it into a discussion whipping out all the condescending smileys and font sizes.

Ship's definition of the 'archetypal' Liverpool supporter is for me the definition of any football fan. So really its the definition of the 'archetypal' team supporter, no?

 

[shipinabottle]

Quote of the month easily, possibly the season. However it probably won't get the acknowledge it deserves because it has nothing to do with Liverpool, United, City or Chelsea. Poor Melchester, always over looked for the 'Big Boys'

I agree that every team has supporters like shipinabottle has described, but there are such a wide variety of people that watch football that sterotype can not apply to them all
