Liverpool - Ath. Madrid - Chmps League

[C.O.Prodigy]

The so called champions league has disgraced itself once more. I reckon the name should be changed from champions league to the league of millionaires that way rubbish decisions and gift penalties can be easily understood.

Liverpool should have scored with agger's header but it missed and they were on the backfoot trying to find a goal but that didn't happen and that's football. But in the end when Atletico were on the verge of winning the group the assistant referee found it fit to pronounce the biggest penalty in football and in turn make all football lovers puke. Football was on the verge of a great victory last night but in the end it lost out to money and I guess prestige. When anything else starts being more important then a good game of footy then let's stop calling it football.

AC Milan is AC Milan it is used to winning dodgy trophies, I expected more from Liverpool cause they were always football royalty in my book but not anymore, that honor is now bestowed for the players who grace the Vincente Calderon football ground.

I know that it's all down to UEFA and all but somebody has to make a stand, I hoped it was Liverpool. Long live Robin Hood.

why did you expect more from Liverpool? they've always been a bunch of cheating bastards

last night was a joke, but tbf Atletico didn't really do enough in the second half, and the draw was probably a fair result, it's just the manor in which Liverpool 'earned' their point, by cheating, Gerrard is a diving c**t

[Esox Lucius]

always the same way with liverpool, cheatin last minute goal, bastards.

lol at chelsea though haha

[Numeric]

oh yeah, i forgot about Chelsea, great to see them get dicked :)

[Will]

Definitely, the look on Lumpards face after they scored the third! Seemed a bit harsh on Deco though.

As a football fan I'm complaining. It's not football if you can't loose.

Ironic a United fan saying that...

There was contact tbf, however he did make a meal of it after he got caught...

Penalty...

[Numeric]

it was never a penalty, Gerrard should have got booked for diving

[C.O.Prodigy]

+1

[rhythmtech]

nah, there was contact but it shouldnt have been a penalty.

but then again thats karma i guess cause the handball was 100% a peno and we didnt get it.

always fun to see utd supporters complaining about cheating :lol:

Is a unearned point against A. Madrid worth more to you then Liverpool playing well?

A point in a football match is earned not by pressuring your opponents with long balls, quality as they may be, but with scoring a goal yourself. Liverpool wasn't gonna score last night, some nights it happens but UEFA did not let it happen last night and that's not football. Shame really cause it was a good game.

Add a first goal from the first leg that Keane scored from an offside and what do you get? I'm just a football fan and actually I like liverpool more then utd. but not no more.

no, but when you cant get the break a lucky poiint is still a point and thats what it comes down to.

[C.O.Prodigy]

no, but when you cant get the break a lucky poiint is still a point and thats what it comes down to.

I understand that, so cause it's like that it's not champion like mentality. Cause championship teams find a way to win or draw when they can't catch a break, find a way not get a get out of jail free card. Just rename the competition from champions league to the league of millionaires and the problem ceases to exist. The whole situation last night largely cheapened the competition imo. Not saying the other teams don't do it too, like Real and Milan and Inter, just saying that no one should do it cause it's not footy innit.

[rhythmtech]

actually if you look at the best teams thru the years you'll find the champions are generally the ones who do get lucky breaks!

utd in the 90's - pool in the 80's

Different competition in the 80's though, different format. Lucky breaks are one thing, like when a keeper drops the ball or a defender miskicks and puts it in his own net (like rise), but last night had nothing to do with luck. I don't think so anyway.

[rhythmtech]

well as much as gerard made a meal of it he still got clobbered.

but yeah it was a totally differant game back then. that peno wouldnt have been given. too many pussies these days.

[Spacehopper]

liverpool probably wouldve pulled it back anyway if it hadnt been for rafa's usual pointless substitutions.....i mean bringin keane off when he was playing perfectly well for ngog was just a joke....

whats the point in paying 20 mill for a player to be subbed on 60 minutes every game.....liverpool like leaving it late so i would prefer to have the better players on at the end....

babel doesnt cut it for me either....

dodgy pen decision but we should have had one for that clear handball so 1-1 is a fair result i reck....

keep in mind that Ath. had two clear handballs not called so 1-1 isn't that fair of a results in my view.

2-1 in clear penalties for ath. and 1-0 in non penalties for liverpool and 1-0 in clear cut goals for Ath... Ath. were victorious last night only they were not.
