Liverpool FC Forum

[Ciggy]

Think Ive taken over your mantle, and that this forum is allowing the bad beauts to rule the roost something needs to be sorted. a.s.a.p.

I dont agree with Rafa's 4-5-1 at home at times, yes he is a stuborn arl bastid, yes he does things his way. No I dont agree with some of his signings and tactics hes far from perfect but then again who ever said he was?

But this anti-rafa bile is spreading like wild fire throughout this forum, and mods you are letting it.
I have a good judge of people and Id say that the two culprits that have torn this forum to bits are not actually Liverpool fans.

For one you dont beat a team 4-0 then go in the yank topic and say big deal we beat Stoke all hail Rafa sarcasticly, that is something you just do not do as a Liverpool fan.

His other made then bounced in with bet SOS are unhappy tonight, the other clingon well lest said the better asked why babel wasnt brought on.........

Theres a few bad meffs on here and need to be got rid off and fast, yer Ive got a big mouth but ive got an even bigger heart for my club, these tw@ts are just here to wind people up for the sake of it, its not even an opinion anymore they just love to cause controversy and add feck all to a conversation.

Maybe I am wrong, maybe I am being paranoid and you can ban me if thats the case, but something just doesnt sit right with these members. They arnt even happy after a result and 3 points to the redmen then something is wrong.

A lot of good reds have left this forum recently without being banned its about time people realised why they are leaving.

Hold on here.  I think a few things need to be clarified.

First off, I don't see that there's 'anti-Rafa bile spreading like wildfire' anywhere.  There are a few posters that seem to accentuate the negative when it comes to Rafa and certain players but it's hardly a widely-shared view.  IMO, there are far more posters ready to look for the positives or offer some degree of balance when assessing things.  So, I disagree that this forum is out of control with negativity and I question why anyone would consider leaving this place just because a couple of people have a more critical view of the manager and some players?  Surely, these dissenting voices can be met with compelling counter-arguments?  Barring that, why not just ignore them?

More importantly, I disagree that it's our job as moderators to police such things.  It's not for me or the other mods to decide how positive people need to be in here.  Our job is to make sure that people are able to share their views and to keep the place ticking over.  I may not agree with all people's views on here but my role is to protect their right to air them.

So, in sum, if you've got a problem with the negativity, make a stronger case for a more positive outlook or give those kinds of post a miss.

Now, I'm locking this to prevent the usual politicking from the usual suspects.  The football chat has been quite good of late...let's get back to it.
