Re: UEFA Champions League 2004/2005

Does anyone know what happened in the Roma-Dynamo match? All I've seen is that the match was abandoned cause the referee got hurt by a fan possibly...

#256626Post 42 of 69

"

Roma's Champions League match against Dynamo Kiev was abandoned at half-time after referee Anders Frisk was struck by an object thrown from the crowd.

The Swede was hit as he walked to the tunnel for half-time and left the field with blood dripping from his forehead.

The Roma fans were incensed after Frisk sent off defender Philippe Mexes as he blew the half-time whistle for allegedly pushing a Dynamo player.

The Italian side were trailing 1-0 at that stage to Goran Gavrancic's strike.

Re: UEFA Champions League 2004/2005

Why does there have to be blood and/or a fire at every Italian match?

and i thought millwall fans were bad

On the Sky coverage you could see the guy who threw it. It's been confirmed he was in the VIP section too! He's fucked for sure.

Great result for Liverpool, and a very good performance too. Two great goals. The new boys, Gerrard and Riise were excellent, and Kewell & Josemi had some good moments. Things are looking up... :-)

Right on...bunch of numbnuts...

And my dear Real Madrid was totally trashed...I?ve seldom seen such a sorry display by a footie team.

And it?s a sorry state for a team to be in when they 1st buy Beckham for pure marketing reasons and then go and add insult to injury by insisting on letting him step on the field, while leaving players like Owen, Solari and Morientes in the bench...might as well have Posh playing on the side...

Sorry dude, I meant 'the new boys (Alonso, Garcia & Cisse) AND Riise & Gerrard were excellent....'

Whatever, it was a good performance from the Reds against a decent team. Bring on Man U on Monday night!

Totally agree with you. Its just to sell tickets, and for marketting reasons like you said. Decks is a good player but there are so many other players in the Real Madrid team that are playing better at the moment. Give the new boy Owen a chance mate!

meanwhile, I hope my goooners do well this year!!! They deserve to win, the way they are playing right now!

I agree here. What the hell is he doing on the bench for the whole match? Fuck Raul, he's had his chance. I just fear Owen will be forgotten about, in turn fucking up his international career.

Real Madrid had their arses handed to them. Sad...

Re: UEFA Champions League 2004/2005

I agree with the talk about Beckham, but those players you have mentioned play in different positions. Owen and Morientes are stikers, and Solari is a left-sided player.

My predictions for this years Champions League... Uhm, Juve look really strong, and have bought well in defence (Cannavaro) Midfield (Emerson), and upfront (Ibrahimovic), and the coach they have brought in is one of the best in the game. There is always a air of professionalism with Juve. Their players seem to be true pro's at the game. Unlike the wankers you get at the likes of Newcastle and Roma where you have kids who think their the dogs bollocks.

The only other two teams I see challenging for the Champions League are Barcelona and Inter. Barcelona, simply put, look awesome. Ronaldino is possibly one of the most skillful players to grace the game. I'd pay ?100 to watch him play (imagine him and Okocha in teh same team!). Inter on the other hand have gone so long without success that I feel this could possibly be their year. Adriano my money is on to become the top scorer, and with Veron, Stankovic, David, and Van Dey Merde (juding by his performance on Tuesday) will no doubt help supply the goals. Inter also have Martins, Vieri, Recoba, and Cruz up front - not a bad crop of players to chose from :)

Roll on the next batch of Champions League games :)

*** How good was Nedveds goal last nite!? **

Yeah, I agree, but to play in Becks? position they already have Figo, and I?m not just saying it because he?s Portuguese too, but because he looks a lot more commited yhan most everyone else on the team. So you take Beckham out, leave Figo in, and on comes Owen...but what do I know...

Re: UEFA Champions League 2004/2005

Woodgate's rumoured scandal might keep him out a while...

From Popbitch last week:

Big Questions << ???????? What people are asking this week

???? Which recently-transferred footballer ???? features in photos obtained by a Sunday ???? newspaper with his head in a pile of cocaine? ???? No doubt the trouble-loving moron hopes his ???? new club has the power to hush up the story.

^ hell yeah, Real got their overrated asses handed to them. from what i've been reading, they appear to be getting less and less fond of Beckham over there too.. i reckon he should retire now and save the years of never being the player he once was :lol:

#257984Post 64 of 69

i hope ac milan win this year lol
