brian_gallagher85 Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Utter silence over here!! I just said as they took the throw in here's Chelsea's last throw of the dice
RevidgeBlue Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 I was just thinking that last gasp save from Torres by Cech might prove vital over the course of the tie and a minute late Risse planted the ball in his own net. Prior to that was going to post how I couldn't understand how Liverpool continually scrape crucial results in Europe.
Tim Southampton Rover Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 To be fair to him, it was a great diving header to score the goal!
American Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 My favorite line from the Guardian minute by minute report: "When the Liverpool fans were chanting 'Cheat! Cheat! Cheat!', were they barracking Drogba or trying to cheer on Steven Gerrard?" inquires Simon Jenkins. That's gold.

Hasta Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 It's unbelievable that professional footballers with huge wage slips (proven in this case) are so one footed. Why didn't Riise just swing his right boot at it and get it away. It was only about a foot off the flor when he headed it. It's always funny though when a team scores against Liverpool just as their fans are midway through the 'You'll never walk alone' victory song at the end.
1864roverite Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 In the words of the "Great" Chubby "Roy" Brown ......" I'm F*****G SICK, I'm SICK AS F***"......... Thats if your a scouser of course.
philipl Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Just over 18 years ago a Liverpool-supporting friend gave me hell over Super Atko's last minute og. Guess who I've just rung up!
philipl Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 As Jimmy Hill famously pointed out, it was a ball girl. And no I didn't call her.... All I needed to do was say, remember my answer to your gloating was that one day you are going to suffer a season-destroying last minute og. Didn't need to say anything else because it sounded like the rest of his family were enjoying the moment enormously.
Rover4ever Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Given the insane amount of luck Liverpool had enjoyed in the last 3-4 seasons in the CL, and most notably in the last 8 with Arsenal, I dont think they should expect any sympathy ...
blue phil Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 What a low standard game this was - I lost count how many long high balls were floated up the pitch . Neither of these teams deserve to win the trophy , that's for certain .
ABBEY Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 liverpool player arrested on the m62 ....he was heading in the wrong direction
adopted scouser Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 liverpool player arrested on the m62 ....he was heading in the wrong direction Beat me to it !
T4E Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 It's unbelievable that professional footballers with huge wage slips (proven in this case) are so one footed. Why didn't Riise just swing his right boot at it and get it away. It was only about a foot off the flor when he headed it. Absolutely spot on. A player who can only kick with one foot has no place being in a Champions League final.
Hughesy Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Just spoke to a manc that is over in Barca - Touts are charging £300 a ticket.
T4E Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 That's not as bad as I thought it would be. If I was there and without a ticket I'd snap one up at that price.
The1mattjansen Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Am i just being stupid or is there no highlights programme on any channel for the second night running? I will be at work through the game but theres nothing better than watching 30 minutes highlights when you get back.
Hughesy Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 No they usually only show the highlights after the 1st night. Poor setup! Nothing much worth watching about tonight. Watched it over the net, Barca dominated, had 65% possession but lacked abit of cutting edge. Ronaldo's penalty miss was however one to watch!
RevidgeBlue Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Two very poor games really for the semi finals of the World's foremost club competition. It's got to the stage really where drawing 0-0 in your home leg is a good result such is the potential value of nicking a goal in the away leg. 1-0 is excellent, 1-1 is a bit of a disaster, 2-1 is only slightly better than 0-0. Ho - hum. Guess we'll have to wait for the play off games for a bit of genuine excitement.
