The shitness of modern football

The Cologne one was a third game at a neutral venue after two draws and we went on to the semi where we got stiffed by the ref at Inter.

 

The Bilbao one was a few years later in the Fairs cup when we lost the toss at their ground after the 2 leg score ended level.

The toss we lost against Bilbao was at Anfield. It was my first time at Anfield for a European game and I remember everyone around me expecting a replay and then all of a sudden the Bilbao players were jumping around and we realised we were out.

I seem to remember something like that,I was about 9 years old, and the players jumping around after the toss, and seeing their fans celebrating on the road outside with a big flag singing , haha memories eh.

Yes it was Cologne , story is the first one was on its edge but Rowdy Yeats saw it start to move towards the white side in the mud and quickly picked it up and gave it back to the ref for a second go.

My pendant read FC Koln and sure the programme was the same? Which reminds me of TSV Munich 1860 are they still going ?

I was at a Cologne match at Anfield. The ref delayed the kick off because it was snowing and then cancelled the game. I thought I was going to die in the squeeze to get out. They tried to hand out replacement tickets and kept the big doors shut except for enough gap to let one out at a time. the pressure from the crowd descending the terrace steps was irresistible and the gates exploded open spewing us out in a torrent. I didn't get a ticket.

Sounds mad that, I don't think any younger people today would know what it was like to be in a heaving crowd as a kid like that in the ground, hectic to say the least though fond memories haha.

Climbed out of the Kop onto the pitch and out through the stands. Only got a paddock ticket because they'd run out of stand tickets.

As per the world cup thread, "studio reaction shots" can fuck off.

Humble brag territory, isn’t it.

 

I reckon Bilic was partially that irritated because he’d been sat next to the windbag who is Martin O’Neill all evening, mind.
