Liverpool league cup semi - the last time

[bluej]

I can rarely remember a game the week after. Even momentous things like Wembley 99 I can remember only hugging my brothers and nicky weavers lap!

You lot amaze me!

Interested to know how you got to hug Nicky Weaver's lap.

The decision to disallow the Reaves header was the single most ludicrous refereeing decision I have ever seen.
Even more ludicrous than the Fontzek 'handball incident' at the swamp.

I'm pretty sure that was given for a 'foul', as Frontzeck had his arms above Cantona's shoulders, which may possibly have impeded him could he have been arsed to jump.

Going from memory only here guys, so feel free to correct.

1981 we were on for 2 cup finals. In the FA Cup tragedy was to overcome us in the name of Ricky Villa. I was there to see Tommy H score at both ends, but luckily did not make the replay.

In the league cup we played Liverpool in the 2-leg semi. They were the Scum of the day, always getting dodgy decisions, especially at home. The first leg was at Maine Road and I was sat in the north stand, in the middle, just above the height of the goal net.

We had a decent side under John Bond, albeit scraped together on a shoestring from the wreckage of Mal's catastrophic second spell. The main moment in the match was a beautiful headed goal from Kevin Reeves right in front of me, which had us all leaping. The referee disallowed it . No one else saw a foul, no one knew why it had been disallowed. No one in the country. I have never met anyone who saw a reason to disallow it and we still dont know today.

Denied a winning goal the match was 0-0. Liverpool won the 2nd leg 1-0. End of adventure.

Time to right a wrong.

sorry to disappoint you, but we lost first game 1-0 and drew second game 1-1 and what i can remember about 2nd game was after they scored we battered them
