Liverpool FC V Real Madrid, Champions League Final: 7.45pm Sat 26th May 2018

[Lord Camomile]

Let's be honest, this absolutely sets up another ridiculous fucking "that night in Kiev" story.

I mean, it kind of is Liverpool's MO

 

[Steel Icarus]

Lallana though. He's good but is he fit? He won't scare Madrid

Gonna have to do it the hard way

 

[Lord Camomile]

What a save! Ffffffffffucking hell, that 'offside' though...

 

[Badgers]

Phew

 

[JimW]

Held the line well

 

[planetgeli]

What a save! Ffffffffffucking hell, that 'offside' though...

Ronaldo was offside, but he gave it for the second one.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Need halftime I think. Jurgen's got some heavy metal speech to do.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Marcelo is now playing as a winger, when Mo was on he hardly got over the halfway line.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ronaldo was offside, but he gave it for the second one.

Having just seen more replays, it was fucking marginal, but it probably was offside. But it's one of those ones where if it goes against you you'd be spitting about the offside rule.

Marcelo is now playing as a winger, when Mo was on he hardly got over the halfway line.

Yeah, the commos said as much while Salah was still on, wondering how much Marcelo will feel he can move forward. As you say, can really see the difference pre- and post- Salah going off.

 

[belboid]

Oh, there’s a match thread...

 

[belboid]

Have we had ‘it’s now acceptable to break Ramos/Ronaldo’s legs’ yet?

 

[DexterTCN]

Don't have a screenshot just now but twitter actually broke when Salah went off. Seriously.

 

[starfish]

Aye that was pretty fucking snide by Ramos. Deliberate & calculated.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ok, it wasn't a wink, but I FUCKING TOLD YOU!

 

[sleaterkinney]

Scumbag Ramos.

 

[souljacker]

Ramos is a repulsive player. Dirty whining little fuck. He's everything that is wrong with football.

 

[planetgeli]

Klopp needs to win this for Liverpool now (tactics/team talk)

 

[Lord Camomile]

Tomorrow's headline: "AA comes to Liverpool's rescue in Kiev, as local lad scores last minute winner".

 

[DexterTCN]

 

[Steel Icarus]

Ok, it wasn't a wink, but I FUCKING TOLD YOU!

 

[DexterTCN]

But also yes, Ramos 100% meant that, disgraceful.

 

[friedaweed]

Keep the faith lads x

 

[Wilf]

Aye that was pretty fucking snide by Ramos. Deliberate & calculated.

Ramos is an outright cunt, but I didn't really see a deliberate attempt to injure. Just a normal defender move.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Nawty

But y'know what, I would fucking love Milner to be the hero tonight. I'm a big fan of the "solid, dependable player who does the job you ask of him', and that's Milner.

 

[Wilf]

But also yes, Ramos 100% meant that, disgraceful.

Depends what you mean, may well have meant to get his arm but he couldn't have foreseen how it ended.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Played this at half time in 2005 and playing it now.

Because what I do directly influences football matches

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ramos is an outright cunt, but I didn't really see a deliberate attempt to injure. Just a normal defender move.

I'd been meaning to say, I'm really not sure that specific injury was deliberate. However, does feel like he plays in a way where 'accidental' injuries are more likely.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ffffffffffucking hell

This.

 

[planetgeli]

Missed!

 

[friedaweed]

We'e lost Mohammed but God's on our side
