Re: Ian Callaghan

Hermes mate this is a Cally appreciation thread - I do not care whether Charlton or Lineker were booked or not or anyone else for that matter in the context of this thread.

I watched Cally loads, he was and is a LFC legend on and off the pitch, his sportsmanship was of the highest order always and if you could find it in your brain to utter a word of praise for the great man (which you have failed to do on the thread) instead of sneering or bringing players nothing to do with LFC into it, it would be appreciated. Oh and BTW altho it was harder to be booked in those days almost everyone was, so the person (Thants) who seemed to minimalise the achievement does not know what he is talking about either.

The one booking he did get by the way was in 1978 at the League Cup Final replay V Forest at OT which was an awful night for LFC - we lost 1-0 with a pen given when Thommo brought O'Hare down 2 yards out side the box, Terry Mac had a goal disallowed for handball when it hit his chest and the evening was capped near the end by Callys booking when he won a challenge in midfield, quite honestly it was debateable whether it was even a foul and yet somehow he got a yellow.

Well done Pat Partridge the ref on the night!!
