I agree. I thought it was a riot and the fans were rowdy. Seeing so many people trying to climb over the fence. I was actually disappointed that the live telecast was cancelled due to crowd disturbance. Last time I was very young and live telecast of the FA cup was a BIG BIG thing back then. Only the semi-finals and finals were shown live, and free of charge.

Only knew the real situation the next day. What a disaster.

i have a lot of respect for these young fans. despite being put down by the manure fans (i have no doubt of that), they decided to support a team that is not winning everything. when i ask them the reasons, the usual answers were:

ya... but puts my age into perspective. i ever witnessed keegan in a liverpool shirt!!! and saw first hand the magic of king kenny dalglish and ian rush, together!!!:D

witnessing hillsborough (the other being the man who singlehandedly stopped a column of tanks from entering the tiananmen crackdown) shaped my whole life and principles.

very true... we liverpool fans will always be here, rain or shine, title or no title. would the manure fans be there if liverpool starts winning BPL titles for a few years in a row??? didnt u guys notice the sudden disappearance of manure fans when chelsea dominated a few years back???:rolleyes:

on a lighter note, you'll never walk alone.

Hmm, interesting. Well, I don't think we were not without success in the last 18 years - Houllier and Rafa were/are successful - if you compare with Newcastle la.

Eh, you switched off the TV? I remember watching the semi-final too, Beardsley hit the bar didn't he, and then things went crazy from there. I don't recall seeing anything like that on soccer TV since.

I think the semi-final you mentioned was the replay. If I recalled, we beat nottingham forest and went on to lose the final against everton right?

No, they stopped the match. SBC stopped the telecast and changed to other progams. It was too gory to be shown live to the rest of the world. We are literally watching people die right in front of our eyes leh.

sorry, i kaypoh a bit.

if my memory serves me well, liverpool went on to win the FA Cup, with ian rush coming off the bench to score the winner in extra time. everton gave a good fight, equalising twice thru stuart mccall, the first in injury time.

i never equate houllier as successful... well, unless u compare it with souness.



interesting...



me old guard??? u should see my uncles. think i should have the ambulances on standby next season when liverpool plays manure... damn, they r hardcore. me still nothing compared to them. but not unlike them, we may be cursing when souness took over (who wouldnt be when he bought mark walters???), we definitely cursed houllier for his single dimension play involving a young michael owen whose ball trapping skills is worse than mine!!! rafa took over and we have stopped cursing. but at no time did we give up on supporting liverpool.



guess i was much luckier than u. from young, i have had experts drilled into me the importance of the midfield enforcers, like steve mcmahon, keith gillespie, souness, etc... i guess my friends were all wondering why liverpool didnt play all the flair players instead of these "boring" ones.

king kenny... i was just so excited when he was still player/manager... and it was at a time when they only allowed 2 substitutes and he named himself one of them. then he comes on and seemed to move in slow-motion.:p

this thread is the closest to what i would call a god-send. many of my friends r evertonians and forest fans... so they either disagree with everything i say about liverpool or they r no longer interested in football.



u forgot about the 4 points dropped against stoke.

the end is near but it is not over, cos the fat lady havent sing... which is why the trolls u have been feeding in the other thread r not coming straight out to gloat about their team. why??? cos i have ever warned them about getting caught with their foot in their mouths.

these losers, i bet my house they started being fans in the 90s, are true blue losers. they dont even dare to put their clone nicks on the line. why u bother to reply them and feed them, i dont know. remember, u support a team whose fans sing even when they r trailing 3-4 in injury time. why associate yourself with a team whose stadium was empty cos their team just got humiliated 4-1??? it is your perogative to post in whichever thread u want, but do give yourself enough credit not to be associated with losers.

Well bro, at the time, I had no idea about transfers at all and accepted all the new players - Walters, Ruddock, Thomas, Oyvind etc..

I was mad about football since I was a boy boy and Liverpool was the one and only club for me... (I do have my fave in other leagues like AC Milan, when Sire A highlights were shown on Ch5 on Sat noons)
