Rafa Watch

[Vermilion]

Is this cretin really this dumb?

Fiorellino added: "He's said he was trying to defend his club at the time but (then Chelsea boss Jose) Mourinho was the master of that and I don't think he ever directly ridiculed supporters of another club. It's quite a thing to try to undo but an acceptance could definitely bring some people back on board. I do think he's a tough sell, though."

Our match going fans take their own flags and sing original songs. The best of their songs are 'Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea' and 'Jose Mourinho, Jose Mourinho.' They back their £50million striker by copying our flag and leaving the Shankly gates on. They can't even see past their own artificial boringness.

You know what's even dafter, iirc, i think Rafa actually made those comments because Maureen had just days before had a verbal about LFC fans.

No white text?

If you're talking Grant, then we might as well mention Redknapp, Curbishly, O'Neil and Phil Brown.

Roy was about as unpopular a person as you could get and he never got booed

Wasn't it that he flicked the V sign at our ground when Chelsea scored?

Could have been about that, because Maureen probably said something after too.

[Nicey]

Utter cuntflappery.

BBC now have this picture on the main football page.

I dont get all the ill feeling towards him, totally perplexes me

[barnes10]

I understand the ill feeling but frankly, if it was mourinho rocking up at anfield, most fans would leave the past behind us and see what he could do for us. don't see it as any different having rafa there.

apart from they are basically ignorant, sun reading w@nkers who have a totally misguided sense of entitlement

I wouldn't enjoy that one bit, but would never consider booing him at a game.

[Alex]

You dont do you. Everyone gets behind the manager. I can understand booing at full time. But not before or during the game. Never.

[Fivex]

I don't know why the media aren't making any deal whatsoever about their fans behaving like rabid lunatics. It's not doing football any favours.

[Daniel 7]

I set fire to an effigy of Hodgson right in the middle of the Kop on his first game in charge. I also painted myself red and ran round the pitch buck naked with a Rafa Mask on and set fireworks off from my backside and chanted "We Want Rafa Back, Said We Want Rafa Back" through a megaphone.

Can't believe nobody remembers that.

[Neil Young]

It was covered on Sky Sports News apparently. They announced at the start of the hour, before the headlines, about all the booing that happened this weekend - Benitez, Wenger and, er, some other incident I don't recall, probably QPR or something. I didn't stick around to watch it so don't know what their take on it was.

[Tee]

The situation is not helped when people like Adrian Durham on TS support the Chelsea fans' actions. Of course he probably thinks they are all wrong but for the sake of gaining listeners he will always try and side controversially.

Maybe Roman could print up some little plastic flags with We Love Rafa on & give them to the fans to wave next time.
