Liverpool vs Manchester United - Fa Cup Post Match Thread

[Phoenix07]

I thought you were going to say your mate worked for ITV and he confirmed it.

But as it stands, it's all basically speculation really.

I dont personally believe TV broadcasters 'maliciously' and deliberately fiddle with microphones to make one set of fans sound better/worse than another. Sounds comically far fetched to me.

I know it does.

It's also happened in our favour a few times as well, but given the amount of abuse our fanbase has received recently, it's not beyond them at all.

You can tell when the fans are singing and it quietens down naturally. This wasn't one of them.

I mentioned it after the game. There were definite phases in the game when the sound from our fans dipped considerably. It wasn't natural. There was definitely a fiddling of microphones.

Obviously, it didn't mask the glory of hearing Clive Tyldsley's voice sink as though he'd hit puberty after Agger scored.

Pissed me off at the start, blabbering on about Slur alex wanting the rivalry to be a football one, and how Suarez was independantly found guilty, open and shut, case closed!" (or words to that effect)

Prick!

Speaking of our match in the league im wondering how Sky will sort out the crowd noise, obviously Suarez will get a hostile reception but when they came to Anfield ITV turned the microphones down around the ground, the booing was auidable but when we scored it was very quiet.

I'm intrigued as if Sky will do the same

Are the stories about the Hillsborough chants true? Could that be why, if it did happen, a microphone was turned down?

Dunno where to put this but what the hell.

Man Utd cut Liverpool ticket allocation for league game

Liverpool's allocation for their Premier League match against Manchester United at Old Trafford on 11 February has been cut by a third to 2,100.

United's Safety Advisory Group, which includes Greater Manchester Police and Trafford Council, made the decision.
The cut of 1,000 was deemed necessary for extra stewarding and segregation. In October, safety chiefs and Liverpool City Council advised the reduction of United's allocation for the reverse fixture at Anfield from 3,015 to 1,965.

However, United were given more than 6,000 tickets for the FA Cup tie at Anfield last month, which Liverpool won 2-1.
February's game between the fierce north west rivals is likely to coincide with Liverpool striker Luis Suarez's first away appearance after the completion of his eight-match ban for being found guilty of racially abusing United defender Patrice Evra.

We'll still be louder than them!

priceless. I hope they complain more and more as the press will take every chance to have pops at them if they're censored by Fergie.

Got mentioned on MOTD in the week (apparently the purple one had already had a moan). Hansen said the comment had been taken completely out of context (or words to that effect).

Ha, I was being unusually magnanimous in the bar today when I said that I think City will hand United the title this year and that every year I say it’s the ****test United team to ever win the PL and they keep getting worse. I didn’t understand when a United supporter said ‘do you just plagiarise Alan Hansen all the time’ as I haven’t watched MOTD in years, not that he believed me.

Cunt!!!

Hansen.
