Aye, breaking a monopoly that actually ends up with the average fan paying more money was a cracking idea.

European clubs and countries simply are more important than African ones, they have the best teams and importantly a lot more money. Yes parts of Africa do get hot in the summer but we've had World Cups in searing heat and we accept it, the WC will be in Africa in July 2010 and players will have to deal with it. There's no reason they can't have it in the summer which would suit them better as they would have more time with their players and would also suit European clubs better who ultimately have the money and the power.

Because the ACN is slap bang in the middle of the domestic season for most of these players perhaps? So that means he doesn't deserve to have adequate time to get his squad sorted? He has to wait until the thing starts before calling his squad together, purely to appease European football fans? Seems a little arrogant, no? Absolutely, but the fact of the matter is that the European leagues are much more important than the ACN, if they wanted preparation time then they should hold it the same time as the European Championships.

I know you've said you're not blaming UEFA completely but that's what it sounds like above, the situation is far from perfect but that's just how it is at the moment and what you have to accept. You say you can't condone forcing a turnstile but what do you think causes people to do such things? Because there are too many crowding round the turnstiles trying to blag their way in causing congestion and frustrating everyone else in the process, causing people to start pushing. You might say you don't condone it but you are contributing to it by trying to get into a game you shouldn't be at. You can blame UEFA, the club or the 'corporate cunts' for the situation but what you can't deny is that there would be no problems with over crowding or pushing if people such as yourself didn't try to blag their way in when they have no right to be in the ground. So while others contribute to the problem the vast majority of the blame has to fall on those fans who are trying to pull a fly one.

Excellent, an excuse for a piss up on Wednesday night now that Norn Iron have something to play for.

Quality goal from Healy! 50 quid coming my way!

NI equalise.

Is it decided on gd or head to heads?

Denmark one up.

Just stick 20 quid on Norn Iron at 5/2, decent odds imo.

Surely it's in the hands of the ref? Uefa representive wants it go ahead. Thought it was ultimately the ref's decision, nicht wahr? It is, he's just given the go ahead.

Was not the only time it happened I am sorry to say. People tried similar at Eindhoven in the quarter final. Only 1600 tickets and the tickets were identical to when we played them in the group stage which didn't help. One had 12-09-2006 the other had 03-04-2007, both tiny in the bottom corner. Apart from that they were carbon copies! Club screwed the independent travellers over (myself included) an gave all the tickets to official tours. So loads were trying (myself included) to get in on the group stage ticket. When I got fucked off, as everyone else did trying the same, I went to the bar. A group just tried to push the crowd forward but the away metal compound you go into at Eindhoven is as 'bunk proof' as you get. A couple of people at the front were lucky to not get seriously injured. Do you have some sort of devine right to get into every Liverpool game? You can't justify it by saying that it's the ground's fault for not checking your ticket. This sort of thing doesn't appear to be uncommon by Liverpool fans, there was a scouser on Toontastic last season as well looking to see if he could get into SJP on the previous season's ticket. If you haven't got a ticket don't try to get in.

He got one line out of him, I wouldn't really call that an interview, though Oliver would probably disagree.

6 home games in the league cup and 3 or 4 in the FA Cup?

Shoddy defence and midfield causing problems for them from what I can gather.

Good to see he's paying strict attention to Sam's dieticians.

Wasn't there some talk that we'd already spent the sponsorship money before we've actually received it all? That'd be a big hole to fill if they pull the plug, though looking at the size of some of the sponsorship deals happening recently I'd say we could get a deal on the same/better terms elsewhere.

I'm surprised this classic hasn't been posted yet. http://www.socceraddicts.com/Funny%20Pictures/8.jpg

Anyone know much about him? Only one year left on his contract so he should be available for a cut-price fee as long as City and ourselves don't get involved in a bidding war.

All Quest have said was that he didn't let them look at his bank accounts and that they couldn't sign off on a few of his transfers, hardly grounds to sue them for anything.

Hasn't MJ been saying for ages how Levy is looking to sell his shares?
