Come On You Reds

[Annasfield]

So the CPT is the place to watch football in East Dulwich. Already have plans for tonight - but will have to wander down next season for a game or two.

[Keef]

I too get loud! >:D<

Hmm, Snorky.... `UEFA Cup a couple of years back...... Newcastle?

[Keef]

Oh, and Piers, come to the CPT, you know you want to!!! ;-)

I shall be the bloke in the 96-97 Liverpool shirt (the year I arrived up there).

[mockney piers]

Certain recent purchases are rendering me more boracic than a piece of lint.

I shall be enjoying the game with a bootle of bud and a cherry tomato.

[snorky]

are you " ripped" ?

[Ladygooner]

May come to the CPT but what to wear?

My Emirates shirt? It is red after all

Or my shirt from the Stade de France 2006 - or would that bring bad luck?!

[Jimbo]

I was wondering if there will be a reduction in crime, with all the scousers out of the country.

[Annasfield]

There is always one....

[snorky]

Cant do it. It would make me ILL supporting them

I will however be putting ?50 on L'Pool should they be 2-0 down at half time

[monica]

Snorky the italians did it again :)-D much to the disgust to my hubby who is a die hard liverpool fan and im italian

[Annasfield]

Absolutely gutted.....:'(

My Nephew's not, he's had a combination (banker bet?? - Dunno I don;t gamble) on since the start of the Season, Milan netted him ?18,000 last night...

[snorky]

Oh yes - several thousand ticketless Scousers tried to crash the turnstiles last night leading to approx 184 arroests ( latest count).

lovely people.

[Keef]

My hanover sucks!!!!

No shame in that loss, Liverpool did themselves proud, just got caught out :(

Oh well, as Mockney said to me last night, in 2 years time we'll have the decider to end all deciders!!!! >:D<

To be fair it sounds like most of the people who got turned away were fans with the real tickets as fans with fake tickets had got there first and not been picked up. I can see why you'd be upset if you weren't allowed in after paying 2000 euros for a ticket and then got pepper-sprayed to boot!

[Fear 'n boozin]

It's good to see Union of European 'it's not about the' Football Associations blaming Liverpool fans for the chaos outside the stadium. Obviously, letting fans in who had fake, or no tickets had nothing to do with it. And of course, giving Liverpool and AC Milan around 17,000 seats each, in a stadium of 72,000 played no part either. Still, amd sure the 38,000 corporate sponsor really enjoyed watching a game between two teams they support week in week out. Sorry, may be hangover, but UEFA = W******

[Keef]

A friend of ours got a text from his mate before the match saying he'd paid 70 euros for a fake and walked straight in with it!!! I can see the appeal for him, but it's so out of order!

You pay for tix on the black market, then what do you expect ?

Its not legal to sue tix that have not been sold to you for games like this.

the rushing of the gates is apalling, whatever the alleged circumstances that may/may not provoked it. And uas much As I hate bring this up again, Liverpool are not exactly squeaky clean with regard to rushing the gates at matches/ forged tickets/ leaping the turnstiles.

they never learn.ever.

[nutty]

I think Fear n' Boozin summed up the real issue that caused this above.... Fans seemed to be forced to try the black market.

[Jah Lush]

Many commiserations to the Liverpool fans on this thread. If it's any consolation I thought you played better than 2005. Still, sometimes that's the way the cookie crumbles. Also, if I'd paid good money for tickets for the game, flights and accommodation etc, etc I be absolutely furious if I couldn't get into the ground to see the match. Anyway, do what I do when the Spurs lose, delete it from the memory banks. Better luck next time.

[TillieTrotter]

Never mind lads, your boys did you proud.

Staying with stereotypes Snorky, I bet you wont be buying anyone a drink with your winnings!! Ock I the no

[Annasfield]

I agree with Jah Lush and I know that I am biased, but imagine paying potentially thousands to travel to Athens to watch your team play in the biggest game of the season. You've got a ticket and as far as you are aware it's genuine and there is no reason in the world why you shouldn't get in to that stadium. You get there and then you're turned away. Can you imagine how that would make you feel?

I also agree that there is a small contingent of fans that do let the side down, however every club has this problem. Because Liverpool have been successful and have played massively publicised games, our fans are highlighted as troublemakers.

How did fans without tickets get in to the stadium? Security should not have allowed it and as for people getting in with fake tickets, you can't blame the fans for that. It should be blamed on the greedy touts and the fact that tickets will always be available from unreliable sources.

[TillieTrotter]

You dont seem to be getting to much bad press for last night. Imagine the headlines if it had been Millwall. HOOLIGANS SHAME ENGLAND etc.

so the liverpool fans are innocent and its all the fault of the authorities. unfortunately that wont wash,espicially with the previous that liverpool fans have. its a distinct possibility that the action taken by the authorites prevented a repeat of heysel/hillsborough.
