Banner - "We are focusing on supporting our manager"
« on: January 17, 2010, 09:44:45 am »
Has anyone on here still got that banner?

If you have, or know who's got it, then can you please, please get in touch and try and get it out for Wednesday night.

We're at home to Tottenham, the knives are out for our manager and Sky are absolutely deperate for a story. They're desperate for us to get beat and they're absolutely dying to report that Liverpool fans have turned on Rafa.
The support a Stoke yesterday was superb, for both the players, the club and the manager; yet they've ignored it and still peddling the same old nonsense about his time being up and the fans are turning.

Wednesday night is our chance to show we're different, we're still the best around when it comes to backing our own. It's a backs to the wall job and time to be defiant in our support for the club, the players and the manager. By supporting them it also shows we know the problems lie elsewhere, without actually having to break out into a "Yanks Out" tirade.

We've always been a support that's supported; let's not change that now. Wednesday night we've GOT to be loud, proud, together and support.

Make that banner the centrepiece.

Great idea, I hope you find that banner

Good post.  I've just watched sky sports sunday supplement and they all said we won't finish 4th and the rat from the sun (Mcgarry) wants to mind his own business its fuck all to do with him what goes on at our club and they can shove the news of the world poll on our fans about Rafa being sacked up their arse no one asked me about Rafe staying or going and I go to home and away games and have never seen anyone polling fans, so they got it from their uneducated readers and talkshite listeners.
 Lets show them all Wednesday, and roar the team on from start to finish we can do our part to raise our players game lets do it.
If my assistant had not signalled a goal, I would have given a penalty and sent off goalkeeper Patr Cheh. he beeped me to signal the foul. The noise from the crowd  stopped me hearing it, I have been involved at places like Barcelona, Ibrox, Old Trafford, Arsenal, but I've never in my life been involved in such an atmosphere.

You'll Never Walk Alone loud and proud at kick off yesterday and they didn't say a fucking word!

As you said, knives out and desperate for the 'fans revolt', no doubt they'll be lurking around before the match looking for a nice collection of sound bites from whoppers. Get this banner our and show them we are different.

Is it impossible to do both?

Sky and their agenda are just waiting for fans to turn. They're reporting that Stoke fan with the P45 banner yesterday as being a Liverpool fans and no mention of the songs for Rafa from our end yesterday.

With Wednesday's game being live on Sky and them being desperate for a story, it's the ideal time to stick together and leave them with nothing to report.

Support the players, the team, the club and the manager.

Put a little footnote in the banner, 'except Fordy!'
Brian Reade - "Rafa Benitez was many things at Liverpool but unlike every manager since Kenny Dalglish, he was not a failure. Indeed a majority of Liverpudlians will remember him as a legend. Because like Bill Shankly, on more days and nights than those expert pundits ever care to recall, he made the people happy".

That McGarry is a shit stir.. he's a deceiving manipulating c*nt that wants unknowledgable fans to concur with everyting he tripes about.  When we get that 4th spot guranteed and win a trophy this or next year, i'll be the first one to let that fucker know.
When I was going through those moments of uncertainty a lot of fans supported me, saying: 'We want you to stay. But at the end of the day, if you don't, we wish you all the best and we are happy that you have been here.' I am very grateful for that. I am here now, and very happy to be here. There is no other club like Liverpool. - Xabi Alonso

Well in BHB! I hope that the banner is on display on Wed night.

I was listening to the first half of the Stoke game on Sat and Alan Green was saying how there were 20 photographers with pink bibs, all focussing on Rafa throughout the game. Fucking ridiculous.

Just watched ten minutes of pure lies and contradictions on the Sunday Supplement so had to turn it off, the primary lie being 75% of Liverpool fans have turned on Rafa

I never watch that shite on Sly Sports. I have the channels for the matches, that's it. Don't bother with the sports news channel either. All a load of shit.

But unfortunately, your last statement is correct and the worry!

I hope we get this banner on display for Wed night.

Remember the original idea of the thread is that we are supporting Rafa

This isn't just about Sky, fuckwits that they are, it's about the whole witch hunt throughout the media that just isn't letting up. The papers are responsible for peddling all kinds of shit at the moment but if they realise that we are different and aren't just knee jerk fuckers like the rest of the league then they might, might, leave off a little
