keith macklin, eh? argued that the freekick sheff w got for handball should have been a pen as he reckoned it was at least 2 foot in the area. might have had some authority had he not insisted the previous goal scored from the edge of the penalty area was from "all of 25 yards". wasn't even all of 20 yards.
Reply to Traus Morgan. I might have told you to sit down at Anfield. Not because I disagree with people standing, far from it, but in that ****hole of an away stand if everyone stands up those unfortunate to be wedged into the last ten or so rows at the back cannot see a thing. I was one of them. I stood up until I realised those behind me couldn't see. Those behind me were unable to stand up themselves because the roof of the stand is so low at the back that it was impossible. Even sat down you could only see one half of the pitch. One family sat on the very last row with two or three young lads actually left at half time.
Their only season in the second tier in how many decades? Tickets rarer than programmes...maybe some folk collect ticket stubs
Geoff Hurst's 1966 England shirt is about to be auctioned at Sotherby's, it's got an estimate of £300-500k.
I've got the original World Cup Final programme from 1966, bought direct from Wembley ( or the Empire) Stadium as it was know then. Anyone like to make a bid for it ?
It's all well and good saying this family had to leave because they couldn't see but they should have pre planned. If they'd smuggled in a few distress flares they could have aimed them at the culprits who were blocking their view. It would have dispersed the standing scumbags and improved the atmosphere no end. Two birds with one stone and all that. These people just don't think.
How could you plan ahead when the away tickets for that season were obtained via a ballot ? Of course those with young families and the elderly should have been sat at the front and those who are able to stand should be allowed to at the back, although at Liverpool the last three or four rows do not allow it because of the low level of the roof.
Anfield is probably the worst away fixture in the Premier League; the football tourist quotient is at its highest, as you rightly say, if you're in the back of the stand it's like watching football through a bastard letterbox and on top of that the robbing scouse ****ers charge you forty odd quid for the privilege. It's certainly not on my list of aways.
