Liverpool being selfish?

Play them both on the sameday and at the sametime at Wembley

 

You're right they will but it doesn't mean we're wrong or should bend over backwards to accommodate them.

It's the Chelsea board and it HAD the potential to affect us. As it happens it doesn't because the OP made an error.

It's just like last week when the leaked Hillsboro documents came out and they took offense. They've been campaigning for years about there release but because they didn't like what they said they got all upset again.

 

Read back. It's not a problem we play a potentially semi on Wed not Tues.

 

It's a **** idea to have two games in two days on a **** pitch so it is always a problem. If we get there, I want the first day for us

 

Me too. So we have four days to prepare for any potential CL game.

Otherwise we will have to rest a couple of players v Spurs.

Fast forward to 2016, Liverpool are playing in a CL semi and a Cup semi on the Saturday/Hillsborough anniversary.
King Ken says: ' We owe it to the victims of Hillsborough to give this football club the best chance to win all competitions.
We have spoken to Justice for 96. It agrees that we can play on the anniversary of Hillsborough to give our side the best preparation time for Wednesday night's Champions League tie v United.'

 

Come on LF lets not be hysterical....there is no chance of Dalglish getting Liverpool into a C.L semi final!!!

 

LOL.

Apparently LFC will play the tie on a Friday!!!

AC Milan/Barca should get to move their game from Sunday to Saturday; and Benfica will move their game to a Friday if they qualify.

 

We don't ask to be teated differently. LFC have made their position perfectly clear - WE WILL NOT PLAY ON THE ANNIVERSARY DATE FOR HILLSBOROUGH. We never have and we never will. Any consequences of that decision are for us to accept.

If that decision causes you a problem then it's your problem.

 

You do ask for special treatment: it affects other clubs and other people that you refuse to play on that date.

What would happen if there was a disaster on 14 April that affected another club playing you? would you back down then?

Do juve refuse to play on the anniversary of heysel?

 

I really don't care what other clubs do. We WONT play - end of.

Now if the FA or EUFA or even Sky tried to force us to play on that date we would refuse.

As has been noted above it's actually not a problem on this occasion. Plus the fact that Chelsea are not going to progress in the CL.

 

You haven't explained why you won't though.
Maybe if you could explain why you won't but clubs like Bradford,ManU,Juve do then we could maybe understand and sympathize and maybe agree.

 

If the anniversary was on a Sat and you had Barca on a Tue/wed, you'd soon change your tune.

You were happy to play Juve on the 25th anniversary of Heysel in 2010. Pot kettle black

 

steady on.

 

LF
We play several times every season on Sun and Wed so I really don't think that's a problem,even less so as we'd be home.

 

Barca and Milan are moving their fixtures back a day to prepare (Sunday to Sat) and Benfica would play on a Friday.

 

Interesting concept.We could have Bolton and Chelsea v Sunderland and Liverpool.

 

Barca and Milan are moving their fixtures back a day to prepare (Sunday to Sat) and Benfica would play on a Friday.

 

Drogs, CPofL is correct. Shogun is a tool!

 

LF
Because their football associations are happy to help and ours is not does not mean 3 days isn't sufficient as it is all the rest of the season.

 

I hope you are right after 120 mins v Spurs on a Sunday while Barca play their B team v Levante on a Sat!!!
