And the referee is there to reinforce them? I prefer a more pragmatic approach, it's much better suited to winning trophies. And that is you have to accept what comes your way and defeat it because it's never actually fair.
I'm 100% behind Martin on this last point of his.

If you want double standards Claire told me to remind you of your response to Portugals shootout v England.

Not sure what that means but I guess youve just been suckered.

Oh so just because everybody in the world is doing it everything is cool...

Hmm and I don't think every single keeper in the world cheats like that, especially when referees call it back every time. Double standards here.

Oh come on, now Dudek was cheating? Please, the fact is that Milan missed becsue their penalties were extremely badly struck. And you think Dida didn't move at all when Liverpool players were shooting? And there is nothing wrong with Dudek's "dance" before the Milan players took their shots, it's his job to throw the shooters off.

Hmm is that about the joke Beckham blasting the ball over the goal and England losing quite deservedly? If so I don't know what you are, or she is, talking about.

And I thought you were finished talking with me Emma? Or have you unflustered yourself yet?

Yeah of course there is nothing wrong with his little dance, however he jumped off his line every single time. That is illegal Zlatan no matter how you look at it. And I don't think Dida was jumping off his line like Dudek was.

But yes the penalties were badly struck however still the law remains.

And hold up Emma, Claire was not around here during the Euro 2004 tournament. Are you sure your not making this up Emma?

Dida might not have jumped out as much as Dudek, but that doesnt change the fact he did it as well. It is illegal, but it's tolerated. Shooting players have a huge advantage over the keepers and IMO, keepers should be given a bit of leeway. Fact is, no mater how much he jumps out or what he does, in 9% of the time a keeper cant save a well struck penalty. Every single keeper does it. And TBH I think they should have a right to.

Yes Zlatan we all know about how penalties are "unfair" to goalkeepers, but rules are rules here. What is the point of having a rule if it's only inforced half the time?

She said when she was complaining about the Portugal keeper for annoying the players and jumping of the line and whatever, you backed the keeper. She said it seems you just choose whatever suits you at the time. You are contradicting yourself but thats nothing new you have always been a bit of a hypocrite, nice to see you havent changed a bit (she says).

And she said 5-2.

I imagine she was posting with River then. Ill ask her when she is back or just fvcking email her so I dont have to do this :groan:

Maldini holds head up high
Wednesday 25 May, 2005
Paolo Maldini maintains Milan should be proud of their performance, while Hernan Crespo thought the first half was too good to be true.

“The Champions’ League was our primary objective for this season, so to lose it like this is incredibly painful,” said the captain who opened the scoring after just 57 seconds.

“In any case, we had a great campaign and cannot complain about our performance. We leave this Final with our heads held high.”

Maldini was seen shaking his head in amazement during Liverpool’s celebrations, having somehow thrown away a 3-0 first half lead in the space of six minutes.

“Many little things went wrong and now we are here commenting on an undeserved defeat. Even after they came back to draw 3-3 we had plenty of scoring opportunities. If I remember that double save on Shevchenko then it gives me goosebumps.”

The veteran was able to make his seventh Champions’ League Final appearance, though he has only won four trophies.

“We reacted well and played better than Liverpool, while I thought the Premiership side was rather lacklustre on a fitness level,” continued Maldini. “We won’t give in, but this is a bitter pill to swallow. I am sure this match will come back into my mind a lot over the years. Even the memory of scoring the goal has been ruined as it was for nothing.”

Hernan Crespo had bagged a brace during a perfect first half performance from the Rossoneri and admits it was all going too well.

“It was too good to be true,” said the Argentine. “I still can’t quite believe that in football these things can happen, but we’ll try again next year. Liverpool managed a remarkable recovery and Dudek’s two saves on Sheva were just incredible. Hopefully we can put all this behind us with the summer holidays coming up.”

Diego Armando Maradona was in Istanbul to commentate on the match for Sky Italia and was disappointed with the outcome.

“As with everyone who has played in Italian football, I thought that on 3-0 there was no way on this earth they could get back into it. Milan always played and Shevchenko had the chance to win it at the death. I’ve seen some comebacks in this sport, but never when faced with such clear superiority as Milan showed in the first half.”

Actually I don't recall Ricardo jumping off his line and me defending him in that matter. I think he did make sudden movements during the penalties however by FIFA rules that is allowed and I have nothing against that. What's not allowed is keepers jumping off the line.

And please if you're going to make something up about me perhaps you should try a bit harder. Or Claire, or River, whoever.

Dida was jumping off his line in penalties against Juventus in 2003, but it's over, just like this. Milan got a taste of their own medicine.

Well Ive no idea but thats what she said. But why do you always accuse people of making things up? And respond with some shit and then cast it of like you are right. Show you are right before you call me someone a liar. Think for a moment you idiot, I couldnt make that up if I wanted to.

Anyways lets get back to ignoring each other because you sure are a fvcking asshole right now. Whats with the sarcasim anyways? oh go away.

Anyways lets get back to ignoring each other.

Why do I accuse people of making things up? Because that's what seems to be the case with you. You wanted to pin me down with Burke on his racist rants and make people believe I'm some sort of terrible lier or something of the sort. Then you make a post about this accusing me of being a hypocrite and a lier- of course I'm going to defend myself against that, especially when the person you said told you that was not even around the forums at the time. Suspicious if you ask me. But I still don't see why you went buckwild against me when Burke was banned.

Anyways lets get back to ignoring each other because you sure are a fvcking asshole right now. Whats with the sarcasim anyways? oh go away.
Yeah the sarcasm was not in good spirit. I apologize for that.
