liverpool- luckiest euro cup winners in history
Posted: Thu May 26, 2005 12:12 pm
i was less than astonished after seeing liverpools scandalous run of luck continue all the way to then end of this years eruopean cup campaign. First against Juventus, there was a definite, i mean like 2 yards onside, goal by del piero, which was dissallowed. again despite liverpools mammoth efforts juve hit the post, so to me liverpool had a great deal of luck in that game.
then against cheslea, they get through the tie on a goal which didnt pass the line. again stupidly lucky.
so on to the final, 3-0 down and been outplayed, they did well toget back into the tie, but were very lucky to be allowed to do so, then in extra time they were battered for 30 mins. what angered me the most tho, was jerzey dudeks antics when milan were taking their penalities. He was without any doubt more than 2-4 ft off his line when two of the penalities were taken. he was using the rarely seen technqiue of moving about like abreak dancer to try put his opponents off, and this is fine. no real advantage, but for him to jump off the line before the ball has been struck is against the rules of the game. penalties are the worst way of decding a game i reckon, but its a disgrace that nobody did nething about dudek last night cos he was cheatng and cheating intentionally.
i really really hope that liverpool are not given speciall allowances to particpiuate in next years competition. maybe real madrid were allwoed to in the past, i am not sure, but we need to get this competiont back to where it poriginally was positioned as the ultimate champions competition in the world, often producing more skill and techqnue than national competitions. now its about money not finding the best of the best cos liverpool are not the best of the best. they couldnt even finish 4th in therio domestic league. i say well done to chelsea tho cos they did a wicked job this year and mourihno has convinced me that he is the best manager in europe.
come on you gills
