  1. Not harsh at all, it was his fault but the situation copuld have been avoided. Masch was unfairly booked and was wound up about it, he is a young player with much passion and needed an older head with experience of being in such a situation to come over and have a word to calm him down......can you think of anyone?

     

    But Gerrard is only 4 years older ! The Chief maybe younger in years, but he has played enough big games both at club and International Level. He lost it and it took Rafa a while to control him. That's off the pitch so how could anybody on the pitch control him ?

  2. You are asking us to take notice of a game where they knock fuck out of each other, are considered unlucky if they even go to the sin bin if they chin somebody, oh and some hookers like chewing ears as well ! Even when they start a 'ruck', the ref will wait until they have finished knocking shite of each other, before awarding a penalty ! Sorry , the Rugby arguement is shite. Now if you ask the Refs to consistently enforce the rules of the game along with a bit of common sense, every now and again, then I may be interested.

  3. There are 11 captains on the pitch at this level. As for the dig at SG, oh how we easily forget ! The Chief was a walking accident as soon as he was booked! He was wound up and he could not control himself. How about the fact that his actions were responsible for the debacle today ? Harsh ?

  4. I have never heard Jim Belglin say anything good about Liverpool, but last night he was wanking away for entire 90 mins of the arse game.

     

    You would never believe he was a Liverpool player, he always sounds even more bitter than Andy grey

     

    Jim Beglin actually said once on radio that as a Kid he was a Chelsea supporter.You cant always change your allegiances , even if he was priviledged to play for us. He's not bitter and he has to be objective in his role. He's alright.

  5. "But certainly, the pretenders are extremely well-equipped. Villa, Everton and Blackburn have the kind of stability and unity that Liverpool and Chelsea can only dream of."

     

    Blackburn are a small club, with a small-time ambition and samll-time fans. That won't ever change. Winning the Premiership didn't change it. It's not a proper football club.

     

    .

     

    For a club formed in 1875, I found your last comment rather strange. They are surrounded by a number of other football clubs, many with a great footballing history: Preston Burnley, Bolton, to name a few.

  6. One thing that sticks out from him is that in his last season he looked shit and totally uninterested in just about every single game he played. QUOTE]

    There were not all that many memorable moments in season 1998/99. The worse was the mosiac that was displayed on the Kop showing that we did the treble in 1983, in McManaman's last game against Wimbledon. If my memory serves, he was not booed off the pitch when Houllier substituted him

    in the last 15 minutes. All the vitriol came after he had left, which I can remember with Keegan, but in his case, we got a better replacement and by the way we had a decent team.

     

    What he said on Sultana was a load of shite, but it's good fodder for the internet, and a journo trying to make a name for himself!

  7. “When I was in the leverage buy-out business we bought Weetabix and we leveraged it up to make our return. You could say that anyone who was eating Weetabix was paying for our purchase of Weetabix. It was just business. It is the same for Liverpool; revenues come in from whatever source and go out to whatever source and, if there is money left over, it is profit.” - Hicks

    Where you the Office Junior then ? Jesus , I nearly spit me weetabix out!

    I was in the old Kemlyn Road Stand which at the time was wooden, with my Dad and brother.

  9. is make or break for TLW.

     

     

    I either need to sell more fanzines, make money from the site, get more freelance work, or pack it all in and get a 'proper' job. I don't know how to do the first three, and I don't want to do the fourth, but I think I'm going to have to.

     

    Sorry to be putting all my troubles on you in the festive season and all that, but I need ideas, or Steve Kelly won't be the only Liverpool Fanzine editor hanging up his keyboard this season.

     

    Personally Dave, I would do a Steve Kelly and go out at the top. You have done well to keep the sales going as long (and as high)as you have. Liverpool Fans have been lucky to be able to choose from three class fanzines(and many fans buy all three) but the web has made it more difficult for the printed version to survive in a manner which can give you and your family some security. You've done a great job in keeping the traditions of the club alive through your fanzine.

  10. Fulham were poor today yet we took 81 minutes to score and that was down to a piece of brilliance by Torres. If we had scored in the first half, we would have ran up a Derby type score. The Reds were pretty at times until they came to the box. I see no improvement , accept that injuries are a problem but the side lacks that guile which is needed to win the League.However, 3 points and who knows what will happen in tomorrow's games. The other side of the arguement is that we are still up there , unbeaten and the side can only improve.

  11. We sung it before Forest were a force in Europe under Clough. I think Hermes is right for once.

     

    Hermes is right. I am certain that the song was sung before Clough came to Forest. It was a long name for a club and it fitted well into a song.Fair play to the Kop at the time! Good to bring back some of the old songs for an occasional airing!

  12. Every Liverpool Manager has signed some shite players. However, they have also signed players who at the time we thought , come on this is Liverpool Football Club!

    Geoff Strong from Arsenal ? Hasbeen!

    Kevin Keegan and Ray Clemence from Scunthorpe. FFS

    Ian Rush from Chester ? Are you taking the piss?

    Phil Neal from Northampton, Christ where's that !

    Sammi Hyppia from some no mark Dutch Club!

     

    The list is endless and of course we signed some duffers but we also got some bargains. At the time I thought Shanks had hit a new low when he signed Jack Whitham but if memory serves he did actually score some goals, but he was shite!

  13. The problem is not so much with the Good Overseas players that have come over but the many 'ordinary players' who are plying their trade in not just the Premier League but also in the Championship and SPL .They are over here because of the ludicrous price tags put on English Players in particular. We cannot ignore the International Game because believe it or not, many of our players do aspire to play for their Country. Cardie makes an excellent point concerning the under 21 attitudes of some of our players.It could be argued that when we come across good young players, (Owen, Rooney) the clamour to have them in the Senior Side is so loud that you wonder whether the players themselves are ready for it and that perhaps another year or two in the U21 side would benefit not only themselves but the rest of the U21 side.

  14. This week has been a rather incredible week for me in that I met a 'blood' Uncle for the first time in my 54 years.The story begins in Liverpool in 1930 when my dear departed Nan decided to leave her husband and took with her her two daughters, one of whom is my mother. The other sting to the tail was my Nan was 'Orange' and her husband was 'Green' and I suppose the marriage did well to last the 7 years it did.However, Nan left two sons behind with her husband.One of the Sons had 'medical' problems and was put into a Salvation Army Children's Home whilst the other Son was brought up by his Grand parents.

     

    My Nan married again and had two sons and they were always my Uncles as far as I was concerned as I never knew of Mum's other brothers until I was about 18. In the meantime, my Mum's sister had died of dypheria in the 1930's.

     

    The daughter of one of my Mum's brothers decided to plot the family tree and in May this year , Mum received a phone call from both of her brothers. One brother, who actually played for Arsenal, Fulham and Hartlepool in the late 40's and early 50's was now living in redcar and the other Brother was living in Nottingham. Mum came down to stay with us for the last two weeks and I said to her would you like to meet Peter , who lives in Nottingham. (I now live in Loughborough, so it was only 30 minutes drive).

     

    So with great trepidation, I set out on the short journey to Nottingham, not knowing what to expect. However, the site of a brother and sister who are both in their late seventies meeting for the first time in many years, brought a tear to a 'stiff upper lip chap' like myself. They were chatting about old times like it was yesterday.Peter who had the raw deal of being put in a home at the age of 2 showed no bitterness but displayed such joy and happiness .( He is however a Bluenose, but that did not matter). He has lived in Nottingham for the last 50 years but still spoke with a scouse accent. We eventually left to drive back to Loughborough, I hugged an Uncle who I have never seen before, and it was great to see the smile in my Mum's face.

     

    Life was hard in the thirties and we should not judge what happened by today's standards but the reaction of both Mum and her brother when they met again was priceless.Apologies if I have bored anybody with this, but life is full of surprises!
