Dalglish's Liverpool beat Man Utd in 1990

Obviously I'd be delighted if we were there, but if not I'd still be happy to just have to jump on to a train to watch a European final.

It's the same with the CL final, although I applied every year in the hope that we'd be there, if not I'd still be lucky to have cost price tickets and it would still be worth the journey.

Have had no joy so far but I’m hoping there will be less demand for these tickets though and with two bites of the cherry (as well as a few outside chances), I’m hoping things will be different this year.

Have the same problem - did you find anything on youtube?

Nope.

Either of you put your names in for the ballot for the final?

Not yet, must do it tonight. Relations of mine (big rugby fans) have 10 year seats bought in the Aviva. Not sure what the situation is for the Europa final but i'd imagine that they have an option to reserve these or either release them for general sale?

Barnes - such a powerful and skillful player.
McMahon - such a tenacious little tw*t
Beardsley - such a deliberate finisher
And Stevie Nicol - has no right to be in the penalty area trying an overhead kick!

Gary Gillespie on Stevie Nicol

"Shanks always preached that we had eleven captains. He wanted to see players think things out and rectify things if they were going wrong. You never got shouted at for trying to change something out on the pitch. You were always taught to work things out for yourself. Mind you if you tried something stupid and it didn't come off we had a saying that we would 'hit you on the head with a big stick from the touchline'. I remember Steve Nicol getting a hat-trick once at Newcastle. Nobody told him where he had to go and what to do, he just worked it out himself. He got the match ball and I told him it was probably the only one he'd ever get ! but nobody told him off for joining in the attack."

What I don't understand is how Gary Gillespie had a clue what Shanks used to preach...
