FFS! A harmless bit of banter makes you cry?

Nothing wrong with fans giving players and managers of other teams stick and them giving it back. If a group of fans can't take stick then they shouldn't give it.

Stop being so sensitive.

you are now siding with him over the supporters of this club, and it doesnt make me cry, it annoys me, like 95% of everthing you post.

1. What should he have done in the league, made other top teams worse?

2. He took a fraction of the payoff he was entitled to, and I cannot believe you would use someone donating to a charity as a stick to beat them with, if it was made public so what? -it sure as hell wasnt Benitez that made it known

3. A small group of supporters on here have done that, therefore your beef should be aimed at them and not vented towards Benitez - ITS NOT HIS FAULT THEY MAKE THESE COMMENTS!

Im not even in the Pro camp man but your total contempt for our ex-manager really irks me, do you have as bad a word to say about any other ex-LFC managers?

And if he leaves I wont insult him then.  I like the guy but just think wrong time wrong place wrong man cest la vie

Oh sorry this is a Rafa thread, but the two do seem to be intertwined somewhat these days.

On Rafa, well its early days and he has to get the team playing his way, but still some people just love insulting the guy, I mean before xmas as well.  How insane and rude is it to actually insult a manager who has just taken over the managers job from a top ranking team that have just lost an iconic manager.  Some people get knarked if this type of thing happens to any manager and I can sympathise with that point of view.  Its madness to insult any manager in a vitriollic way when he is new to the role and the previous guy was loved so much.  I mean anybody that does that to any manager has to seriously look at themselves as it seems like their personal hatred or need to be proven right all the time has clouded their otherwise wonderful football knowledge

2. Would you do that? Name me a current manager who would? I say again he was owed substantially more than what he walked away with yet you slate him for taking anything. And you have absolutely no proof that he had a job lined up. And it was Hillborough Justice Foundation that made it public.

3. Again, you have a "feeling" he tries to flame it. You make derogatory comments based on total guesswork. Everyone has a right to an opinion Niall but for me if you're going to put yourself in a position where you are posting on a Liverpool FC supporters forum, where the vast majority have a positive view in regards to RBs tenure irrespective of their opinion on his leaving then I think you need to have a sizeable amount of evidence to back up your claims or else your statements will cause nothing but arguments.

Your wasting your time mate. We all know how hyper kids get during half term.


At the end of the day if they are all sad enough to get kicks out taking a pop at a former manager who won a European Cup then that's up to them.

anyway I would like to say that I still believe Rafa will win the Champions League and Serie A   just to confirm my earlier predictions

You really nailed it to whatever chump you were aiming at.

Always seemed like a decent enough bloke to me, and apart from the last season did a fairly decent job as manager too. Not great, not legendary, not a hero, but decent. Some good buys, some bad buys, some good nights, some bad nights, two trophies in six seasons and a best effort in the league of 2nd, with a worse effort of 5th (I'm discounting the 7th of the final season). So all in all he did OK (apart from the last season). No need to "hate" him, but entirely legitimate to both question his iconic status, AND to think the time was right for a change (which it was).

Funnily enough (and I did think it was funny I just can't help it ) the Spurs game was very familiar. Bizarre press conferences, eyes well and truly taken off the ball and a set-up which wasn't genius. Followed of course by a lacklustre performance and a well deserved defeat.

What a pity.

I have to disagree about the iconic status thing. He won the biggest trophey in club football in one of the most memorable finals in the history of the competition.

His tactical nous helped us get through some tough teams that year, former finalists and semi finalists, and not just that year either. Ok during his time we didn't have as much success in the league as we did in Europe but at least we were there mixing it up with the top teams midweek to the point where we were one of the most feared teams in Europe.

I don't know about you Mick but I treasure a lot of memories from those years, beating Barca in the Camp Nou, thrashing Real, knocking out Chelsea on more than 1 occasion when they were virtually buying their way to silverware. To me he will always be an icon and you know damn well there are plenty of other supporters that feel the same way even if you don't.

As for the celebrating after last night I think it's a bit of a disgrace tbh. I suppose it just goes to show how right we were all along this season that you felt the need to let loose 1 evening as youve been hiding under a owl shaped rock for the last few months.

Not as bad as those that have it in for the new LFC manager though.
