From block 206 in the Kop at 6:50pm



That's easy playable IMO.

adam i was in block 206 row 57 was that were your tickets were? ??

no I tend to stay in me season ticket seats (Main Stand Block MF, row 8), I would like to sit in the Kop in the near future though, last time I went in the Kop was 2001 when I went in there for all the cup games.

But Block 206 in the Kop is a cracker, I've been in there before.

I was well f'cked off last night, was sitting in with a few of the lads having a few bevvies when it was announced.
What i dont understand is why the ref announced at 6.45 that it was off, surely if he has waited as late as that (when the Arsenal fans have arrived) then he could of waited another hour. The fog seemed to be clearing all of the time, he should of just delayed the kick off until about 8.15 and played it.

It was funny as f'ck the players drilling the ball at him while he was being interviewed, Andy Gray said it was to prove a point that they could see fine

I flew over from Sweden to see the game with a friend so it was quite sad to hear that the game was not going to be played. Some great Liverpool fans with season tickets heard about my problems and actually let me use their season ticket in the Kop so I could see a game before I go home on Sunday. 

Liverpool has some of the nicest people on earth.

We're nothing but a bunch of soft Sheilas Dec 22 2006


By David Prentice, Liverpool Echo


THE Aussies are right. We really are a nation of Sheilas.

After letting go of The Ashes for a record breaking 5,886 days, until last summer's glorious homecoming, we have just meekly handed them over again 462 days later . . . the shortest retention on record.

But it's not the performance of our cricketers in the Down Under sunshine which has convinced me we're all wusses in this country - Alastair Cook showed some bottle, after all.

It was the decision to postpone Tuesday night's Carling Cup tie at Anfield . . . due to fog.

Not a thick, Victorian London-style pea-souper, by the way, but a swirling mist which had cleared sufficiently by kick-off time to allow a full scale training session on the pitch.

The players thought the game should go ahead, so did the managers - while the fans turned up in their thousands anticipating a match.

But ref Martin Atkinson thought otherwise.

Clearly aware of the inadequacies of modern linesmen, he decided that burly stewards in high visibility jackets could easily be mistaken for nippy Arsenal forwards by his hapless assistants.

Fair enough. After all, one of Blind Pew's immediate descendants managed to confuse Shola Ameobi with Joseph Yobo up at St James' Park on a bright September afternoon and awarded Newcastle a goal against Everton.

But while Tuesday's postponement was undeniably frustrating, why couldn't the ref simply invoke what has become known in Anfield folklore as the Moenchangladbach-rule - and replay the fixture 24 hours later?

Administrators everywhere trembled at the mere mention.

Modern safety certificates and modern policing requirements, you see, demand 10-days notice of a major event.

Why? We've all become wet. We need looking after more than ever before.

Short notice replays never used to bother the bobbies in the 80s and 90s, when Everton or Liverpool could draw an FA Cup tie on the Saturday, and stage a replay the following Tuesday or Wednesday, watched by 40 or 50,000 fans. Surely a spot of overtime just before Christmas would be eagerly lapped up by the local force.

Sadly, we have become overwhelmingly sensitive. We live in a culture of meetings, minutes and hot-air to discuss what should be done, rather than instant action.

It's at times like this that I fondly recall FA Cup quarter-final day in 1977.

Everton entertained Derby County on a Saturday afternoon at 3pm, watched by 42,409 fans. The same day, at the same time, Liverpool entertained Middlesbrough in front of 55,881 spectators.

I recall the train to Bank Hall being a little busier than usual, but nothing out of the ordinary. It wasn't a one-off.

Everton and Liverpool were drawn at home in the third round and the fifth round in 1980 (when more than 88,000 watched the visits of Wrexham and Bury to Goodison and Anfield respectively), and again on third round day 1981.

But that appears to be the final instance of the teams playing across the park from each other at the same time.

It won't happen again. Just as we won't play football in moderate mist, light snow showers or a mild frost ever again.

Because we've all gone soft.
