Liverpool, home 98..

Ince hit him first and dragged him to the ground. Shez got up and lamped him. Sheriden's was the only red card we received that day that was deserved. That wasn't the problem with the incident, it was that Ince wasn't even spoken to. They should have both gone.

 

I'm sorry but that's rubbish. Adi groined Shearer in the knee and was rightly sent off.

 

As I remember Hristov’s best game for us. Holding the ball up, running at defenders and winning the penalty even when at a numerical disadvantage.

Unfortunately his performance was overshadow by everything else that happened on the pitch.

 

Please can someone add the above to the swear filter. The sight of it (or him, on telly) always makes me want to vomit.

I well remember Linekar and his cohorts chuckling over Shearer's blatant shove in the back of our player, just before he headed the ball in. As if he'd done something wonderful, the cheating git. That was the day I finally realised that professional football was not a sport.

 

Hard to tell from that shot. You'd need to pause it when the ball is played

 

On a similar note, despite what Andy Gray said at the time, John Hendrie was onside vs Man Utd. For all his faults, Mike Riley got that one right!

 

I don't think I've ever experienced a match where the atmosphere changed as much as it did that match. Started off the standard, jovial Premier League atmosphere that we created that year, to pure joy when the first went in, to "here we go again, but let's get behind em" from the equalizer to a bit disgruntled for the first red, to the nastiest example of we're being cheated for the second red, to justice is done, lets get a winner for our equalizer, to you jammy lovely people for their winner, and back to being cheated and angry for the last red card.

If Sky wanted improved viewing figures, they should have put Sheridan and Ince in a cage and sold it on PPV. I'd have my money on Stumpy(the mad little *******!) over Ince, who was only a hard man in is own mind!

 

I darent put on an open forum what he did to Ince and subsequently in the following weeks. If you've been to an evening with Shez you'll know.

 

Despite that match making even the most sensible passive fan livid, the most angry I got that season was at Highfield Road when Dion Dublin did the most blatant swan dive and earned a last minute penalty for a 1-0 win.

It was noteworthy that when we were rightly getting battered week in week out, not that many decisions were going against us. But the latter part of the season when we started looking a threat and getting wins on the board, we suddenly started getting game after game where the officials were making shocking decisions that cost us points.
