I've got a friend on Facebook who is a Liverpool fan, who has basically, said that the position were in is due to Rafa and the Players, and Roy shouldnt be blamed AT ALL.
Now have I just been on sixcrazyminutes too long, or are there actually more Liverpool fans who share this opinion?
I find it astounding. (Again this could be due to the sixcrazyminutes brainwash - though i highly doubt it.)

No TBH, most fans look at it in the (equally wrong) reverse attitude. That Rafa did nothing wrong & it's all Roy's fault.
Of course, the truth lies somewhere between the two, Rafa made the best team we've had in a decade or more, then systematically destroyed it with his less positive character traits. Roy's come in & had a poor squad to work with but exacerbated the situation with stubborn mindedness & making basic errors. IMO, obv.

Dont get me wrong, I dont think its all Roy's fault. There are a lot of contributing factors. But to absolve him of any blame whatsoever??!
Surely that cant be right?
