Best game you have ever been to and why?

I always get the feelin they havent been the game theyve watched it in the pub...

True, but slagging off a young lad who loves the reds is a bit harsh in my book, not his fault he's from Singapore and can't get to a game, there's bigger gobshites on here from this country that need a slagging before he does.

just my opinion like,

nah am not slaggin him off i was made up to see our following in the pre season in singapore it was unbeliveable...i honestly think we should have a section for the daytrippers and foreigners in a controled way maybe the mainstand or suttin ...we polute the kop with the daytrippers who havent got a clue and it pisses me off i understand wher a world wide club with a world wide fanbase and its expected one of my good mates is a wool who i see at the european aways and i laugh at him when hes singin were not english we are scouse with red cheeks like hes singing for his life and then he comes out with scouser tommy i think its riddiculas but ile still have a bevvy with him cause he loves the club just as much as me.

 

Champions League final 2005.

No explanation needed. Doubt i will ever attend a better match than that, everything was electric and intense from the crowd to the pitch.

In terms of significance, I'd say it was the 1989 FA Cup Final for me.

The arsenal game was my worst. Hell and Heaven and Hell in such a short space of time.

Worst game i have been to was back at Anfield in 03 i think it was, against Boro. Created very few chances but luckily Riise got us a goal for a 1-1 draw.

laughable you will never put true scousers to shame with ya jester hats half halfy scarfs and ya cameras out nevermind how many times you stand on the kop belting out anfield road as loud as ya can in foreign it sounds daft you lot can still count yaself as red from ya living room ......KEEP ANFIELD SCOUSE

That's crap tbf.  I pressed the neg arrow for that but cancelled it.  I've not negged anyone yet but your post almost deserved it.  LFC touches people throughout the world.  And it matters to people who truely care, it's the only thing that matters at times.  Times like today.

Know what you mean mate, 89 Cup Final was a very emotional day. From Gerry Marsden singing YNWA when plenty of people around me breaking down in tears and the same with Abide With Me to Johnny Barnes grin and jig after Rushie scored our second or third.

Arsenal came at the end of a tough week, probably the one game were in my entire time supporting the reds I just had no feeling and felt quite desolate walking out of the ground and down Utting ave with my dad.

Yeah, I sobbed uncontrollably walking out of the ground down Utting Avenue myself that night. It was miserable. But we deserved the double that year.

Don't have me crying you pair of cu*ts.

Back on topic.

read my other posts and neg all you like luv

Been lucky to have witnessed many great games especially at Anfield, the 3-3 vs United, Gods hat-trick vs Gooners and both the 4-3's vs Newcastle

Would have to say the first one against the Geordies .....that game had everything!!

Giving this a bump.

For me I have 2.

Chavs 2005 at Anfield

Was suppose to have a ticket at face value from a lad at work.  Went to the match, waiting outside a good hour before near the Sandon - he never turned up.

Anyway, walking around the ground I thought I'd chance it and see what the touts where asking.

I paid £120 for a ticket and was fuming.  Obviously the money was insignificant when I got into the ground.

FA Cup Final 2006

We stayed over at some god awful pub on Barry Island, got the train into Cardiff on the day. 

Remember clearly saying to my mate that I might go out for a cig when WH where winning...  Was about the make my way out and then BOOM - Gerrard scores.

What a day

On another note, I passed up the opportunity to go to Istanbul.  Flights + hotel + ticket for a grand.

Wish I paid it.

champions League Semi-final against the Chavs in 2007 for me. I hear it wasn't quite as crazy fervent as in 2005 but if I'm honest, I can't imagine 05 being much noisier or passionate than what I witnessed in 07. I know there was more confidence and expectancy the 2nd time around which was understandable but the atmosphere was still absolutely incredible.

Running it a close 2nd is the Champions League Quarter Final the following year against Arsenal. Incredible atmosphere, incredible game.

In 3rd it would have to be the home match vs Barca the previous season, I know we lost the game 1-0 but we were the better side and we controlled the match from start to finish in truth. Once again the atmosphere was incredible.

I don't think we really appreciated just how spoilt we were just a few years ago but it would be fantastic to resurrect some of the European nights again in the near future.

So true.

WHEN we get back into that cup I'm going to savour every second of it.

Dont think either would be the best football Ive seen but Porto 4-1 in the champions league because of the whole build up and the support for Rafa pre match. Then he support a t its brilliant best duringthe game and the result then to add to it. Brilliant night

Other then that the 3-1 at Goodison 2007 I think, possibily 06. I had to sit in the Gladwys and listen to, actually feel, the bitterness towrds the redmen and our support. To see our boys silence them was something special. They were muted fairly early. Crouchie and Cisse on form that night. Some craic when the 3rd went in and I jumped up from my seat..   

Ok, call me jealous.  I've never been, only really seen England from 35,000 feet.  I'm planning a trip next year and hope to catch a game while I'm there.

1) Chelsea (away) 1986 - King Kenny scored and we got escorted back to Euston (approx) 10,000 reds and the escort back was magical - we had a 2 day part and then went to Wembley the next week and beat the bitters....doesn't get much better than that period.

2) Notts Forest (home) 5-0
total football

It's more more than two years since I've been to one of our matches.  That'll change soon as I'll be home for Christmas and am heading up to London for the Chelsea match, hope we'll put on a good atmosphere.  But the last one I WAS at just happened to be unforgettable.

April 2011.  Away day at the Emirates.  We were still riding the wave from when Kenny took over in January of '11 and while CL was probably just out of reach we still had a small chance, and the Arsenal game was a must-win for us.  Aurelio (my favorite player from the last decade or so) got injured early on (surprise) and Robinson came on, the lad did well for such a big occasion, Carroll on the other hand (another surprise!) did absolutely nothing the whole game.  Incredibly tense game from start to finish, we ended up having 6 minutes of added time, then in the final seconds, Spearing gave a pen to Fabregas, you wouldn't believe how dejected everyone was around us.  Van Persie stepped up.  Slotted it home.  We were gutted.

For whatever reason Marriner let it go on a few more minutes, and Jonjo managed to draw a free kick on the edge of the box.  Who else but Suarez?  he stepped up, the clock just hit 100 minutes, took the free kick, and... it hit the wall, and bounced away.  Game over, right?

Lucas went to go chase it down, and Eboue knocked him over---Marriner pointed to the spot!  Penalty in the HUNDREDTH MINUTE of the game!  Dirk stepped to the spot, put it past Szczesny, ran over to us, and we went bananas.  I've never seen such a swing in emotions in such a short time at a football game.  Will never forget that day.

CL final in Istanbul. Obviously.

Best and worst game at either side of halftime.

The best game that I've been to was definitely the League Cup semi final v. City the other year at Anfield. That was a top atmosphere! Great feeling to know we were going to Wembley for the first time in years. Was my first real experience of a game like that too.

In the car on the way home that night booking flights to London from Edinburgh on our phones for the final even though we didn't have tickets yet, then the nervous wait to find out if we were lucky in the ballot. I got lucky but one of my other mates didn't but he came with us anyway.

The final was the best day of my life. Getting the red eye flight to London, making our way into the city and when we stepped out of the tube station on Baker Street with all the hundreds of reds blocking up the street, we could hear nothing but Liverpool songs. Was amazing!

Then back onto the tube and the whole train was rocking with reds fans, singing all the classics as well as the old ones.

Will never forget walking up to Wembley and going up the escalators to my seat, then using my teeth to cut the roll of string to tie my banner onto the railings at the bottom of the top tier.

As for the game, it was a complete roller coaster of emotions. When Kuyt scored in extra time I actually cried a bit hahaha, then when we missed the first two penalties I pretty much just thought it was over. When Anthony Gerrard missed at the end it was the most insane feeling which I don't think can ever be replicated in any other way.

The day ended pretty funny, we arranged to meet up at a pub near Baker Street after the game and then we were all going to go to the bus station to catch the overnight one home. Our mate who didn't get a ticket was missing and we couldn't get hold of him on his phone. We started to worry a bit because he had our bus tickets and we didn't really want to be stranded in London overnight...

We decided to make our way to the station anyway and by some miracle our mate stumbled up the street more pissed than I've ever seen anyone 3 minutes before the bus was due to leave, bus tickets in hand "alright boys!" hahaha turns out he'd passed out in an alleyway in London somewhere then woke up 10 minutes ago, grabbed a taxi and just managed to make it on time...

Anyway, moral of the story is to never take the overnight bus from London to Edinburgh. It's the worst hell imaginable. Although it would have been a lot worse if we hadn't have won the game... I pretty much smiled all the way home haha

So I suppose that was two games, but they were kind of one experience for me. The semi final was a better atmosphere but the final was an amazing day. They aren't classic games or anything but for me it was amazing.

I think Istanbul has to be in a league of its own.

 But after that, the FA Cup Final vs W Ham stands out.
I actually thought we'd walk it before the game. But ofcourse it wasnt that simple. To me, that was the definitive Gerrard game. The team were absolute heroes that day. The way they had cramp and just kept going. Rafa may have been a tactician, but he had a team that would run thro walls to win a match as well..
To me, thats typical of all the great Lpool teams throughout the years.

Our (fairly recent) Champs Lge semis were very special too. Just went to show that it wasn't a "fluke". We'd got ourselves an absolute wizard of a manager.
