Didn't they change the rules about keepers having to stay on their line two years back? I'm sure Dida at least will have no complaints about that.

Sooner or Later

What an incredible match.

The agony and the ecstacy of the beautiful game.

Tactical suicide from Rafa in the first half leaving Hamann on the bench and giving Kaka the freedom of the pitch. But what a turn-around in the second half. And then a penalty shoot-out. Me nerves :eek:

Well done the Pool. Lets hope it's the first of many.

In a European final, definitely, but there have been countless other, more extraordinary comebacks in variosu leagues and cups.

Kewell is off !! but what was he doin on the pitch in the first place??.. Milan look very strong tonight. I will be very surprised if liverpool get back into this game

How the game turned around from posts like that.

Unbelievable second half, Milan collapsed and the Pool took their chance.
A night to savour.

ButcherOfNog

so many doubters, so many posts to quote from, so much gloating to do, so little time

Yeah like you knew you were gonna win at halftime :rolleyes:

quarryman

they'll tell you that though.

despite standing in a pub with the quietest soccer fans ever at HT they'll still turn raround and say they knew they had it in them.

20% went home after 45mins. bandwagon brigade.

What a game. What a comeback, best ever.

Haman was the game changer there, bloody excellent he was. Carragher is just getting boringly brilliant now. What commitment from carra, goes down with injured groin, gets back up and stretches himself again for a clearance, I'm totally convinced he'd stick his head between foot and ball for the cause. Garcia's commitment was great too, he ran the b*****ks off himself.

Gerrard was brilliant at RB for the last 20-30 mins, best RB in England atm.

HAve to give credit to Dudek for his saves.

Have to say, the pub was great. there was an everton fan sitting with us, and at 3-1 he stuck on a pool shirt over his everton one and cheered as much as the rest of us, respect.

Caesar_Bojangle

Brilliant stuff.

What did Eamon Dunphy have to say about it?


Hamann completely changed the game.

What so you expected them to be all happy and jolly at half time while loosing 3 nil..

What would you have said if they said Liverpool would come back and win it. For some reason I doubt it would have been "god, you are such a loyal supporter and I admire your optimism in the face of such a one sided half"..

No you would have laughed in their face more than likely.

So don't talk sh!t!

scojones

My mate is at it, cost him 900 to go, the nutter, will be the best nite of his life though that's for sure.

mayordenis

Oh ****in jesus just in the door,
I mean this is just unreal.
will talk tomorow

Guy:Incognito

Razor Ruddock was just talking bout a future third eye for soccer AM , didnt see it myself, was too buysy getting drenched in champagne. When Gerrard was lifteing the cup, Carra was away to the left, tried to lift his hands and celebrate but was too sore with his groin and was holding a bar to stay up. Carra is a bloody legend who puts his body on the line for the club. He's Liverpool through and through, what a man.

RuggieBear

My girlfriend's brother was at it...gonna try and get a programme for me. seemingly the queues were massive for them

Dudek is a legend

super_furry

Mere words can't do an magical event like that justice, so I'll try it with a picture. http://gfx.dagbladet.no/pub/artikkel/4/43/432/432779/r_epa.jpg

Champions of Europe, would never have believed it at half-time, my mates had to convince me to stay and watch the second half, we were played off the park by a stunning Milan side. How Benitez got that last final push out of them in the second is beyond me - you could see how exhausted they were come extra-time. Strangely enough when penos came, I was very calm - just knew they were going to win it. Beautiful, truly beautiful. I don't think I've ever cried in a pub while hugging a total stranger before. 18-5.

Jaysus....Gianluca Vialli was there as well :eek:

How did the ref not see through his dance patterns though? Astonishing :eek:

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! Carra was amazing again, threw himself in front of everything, it would have been 5 or 6 had he not been there, then he gets injured but carried on battling.

I think he jumped off his line for every peno, but I didn't noticed til the 3rd one lol.

just like dida a couple years back then...

at 3-0 down i was unhappy but i strangely didn't give up or have the slightest urge to leave
hat off to smicer and dudek, they get a lot of (deserved) stick, but they did us proud tonight

i dont think its sunk in yet, number 5

Caesar_Bojangle

Virtual hugs for all Liverpool fans.

redspider

H-O-L-Y F-U-C-K !!!!!!

Unbelievable !!!!

What a roller-coaster night of emotions, from the disaster start, the disaster first half, the depths of despair, to the resurgence, to the having them onthe run, to the to the energy draining end. And then, the nail-biting penalties.

There were hero's out there tonight - hero's.

Liverpool deserve this, 21 years of waiting.
Trophy No. 5.

Incredible.

I dont care about not winning the league since 1990. This is the key trophy to win. Liverpool, champions of Europe, again!

The result of this game is nearly impossible to predict ....

Who would have predicted that, and at half-time and 3-0 down, who would have predicted a Liverpool win on penalties.

Un****ingbeleivable ....

Redknapp was the club captain in 2001.

Thank feck that's all over, Liverpool are the European Cup holders for the fifth time - long over due. I bored the arse off of a few Italians in the pub at half time about how Liverpool were going to come back. New Popes, Wales winning Grand Slams, Men in Red vs Men in White - Nevermind that shiite. 3-0 is nothing when Djibril Cisse can prove the physios and medical staff wrong there is always hope. They left the pub at 3-2 unfortunately.

Bye, bye Milan Baros enjoy life in Spain you miserable schmuck. Heard a few interesting stories today - will try to post them in the next few days when I'm a little less under the influence.

Started watching the video tape again, a few snippets:

Andy Gray's comment after Crespo's third goal:
"Its all over, and I hate saying that"
In reality, he loved it!


RTE half-time highlights text:

Maldini Goal - 1st min
Crespo Goal - 28 mins
Crespo Goal - The Clincher <

---

!!!

The Video editor nails his colours to the mast.

At Half-time
Brady: "It could be a humiliation now"
Giles: "Gerard usually dissappears in the big matches Bill. He's nowhere, nowhere to be seen" .... "Anything can happen in the 2nd half"
Dunphy: "What Liverpool did wrong was ......."


To be fair to Dunphy, he gave Liverpool some chance of the match before the kick-off, thought at half-time that 3-0 was too much, and then at 3-3 commended Liverpool for their tenacity and effort.

fade2black

For God sake people it was 3-0, you never believed it was possible so stop taking the piss out of everyone else who didn't either.

The fact that EVERYONE thought Liverpool were dead and buried just adds to the achievment.

Makaveli

Just home.
My God, never thought I would see Liverpool European champions in my lifetime.
3-0 down at half time I admit I had them written off as dead and buried I thought it might be 5 or 6. Jesus, though getting it back to 3-3 and winning on penos...
I'm not ashamed to admit I broke down in tears afterwards. Forget my Barca sig, I've supported the Pool my entire life, this was just overwhelming.
Somebody pinch me cos this can't be real.

Caesar_Bojangle

I'm pinching...


I got hugged by random, fat shirtless guys. Its nights like this that I'll cherish.

LIVERPOOL!!! **** sake I don't know what to think right now.

atmosphere in the pub was mighty tonight!

Caesar_Bojangle

I was pretty depressed at 3-0 but as soon as Gerrard scored I knew it was our night. If only I had the balls to get Djimi Traores face tattooed on my ass.

PHB

You know what they say about luck, when it happens all the time it ain't luck no more
****ing hell, town was covered in red shirts tonight, everybody going around holding up 5 fingers

Caesar_Bojangle

How many were you holding up?

PHB

5 aswell, but signifying something else

Caesar_Bojangle

lol


I'll settle with finishing fifth and being crowned European Champions. It could have been worse, finishing trophy less.


I'm searching this thread for the ideal quote for my signature.

By god what a match. Liverpool deserved it after coming back from what looked like a finished match. Dudek even redeemed his slightly erratic performance.

Incidently the commentator said at the end that it was a game of two halves. It was actually four

Well done Liverpool.

P.s. I wonder what the new cup will look like now that Liverpool get to keep "big ears".

BrookieD

Well done Liverpool, well done indeed great comeback, great spirit, great grit, at half time i thought it was over like so many but again you should me why i love this club so much, we just never give up and if we are going to lose we lose fighting.
Got to say i was on here at half time reading comments from some of the LFC hates and i was cringing but after the Pens i came back and was looking again and what a change


Liverpool FC, 5 times european Cup winners (this time we keep it :-)

TheMonster

Hats off to Liverpool - I cannot believe one team can get so much luck in 1 match.

Perfectly good goal for Milan disallowed - Gerrard played the ball through in the tackle.
Prior to first Pool - the linesman had his flag up for offside and though Milan never got the ball back he took it down.
Dida making a hash of Smicers shot.
Gerrard diving for the penalty and getting it, then the penalty save falling nicely for Alonso.
Shevchenkos miss.

Shame they can't defend it

cournioni

Unbelievable.

i was just given a heads on on a well used Man Utd forum, now not saying there bitter but check out the link:-

Feck the Champions league final, is Finnan going to be fit for the Israel match???

BTW - Its the Hamann/Lennon type players that are the most important in a team. Sven G Eriksson still can't see that as he persists with Gerrard and Lampard in the centre. Only a matter of time before it comes back to haunt him... again.

If you want to talk about luck, watch the first leg of Milan - Inter, they should have been dead and buried in the tie or at least missing Shevchenko for the semi's. Now stop being bitter, it was deserved. We beat the top two teams in Italy and the Champions of England in the last three ties, this was no easy title.
