It’s not him choosing it, it’s just the devil getting a head start 🙂

Listening to those games on the radio was a total nightmare. Honestly, she probably wasn't even on your broadcast, which explains why you can't find her anywhere. 🤷

Drew Barnes87 said:Does anyone have a clip of Rapaić’s goal from when we beat them 1-0 at the stadium?

Man, I remember that game vividly. I don't think Liverpool FC has ever been that dominant at home before or since. I distinctly remember the coach telling us at halftime how lucky we were to only be up by one. Honestly, looking back, we should've walked away with a 3-4 goal lead.

I distinctly remember Ciro saying at halftime we should be grateful it was only 1-0 for Liverpool FC. Realistically, that game should have ended with a 3 or 4 goal lead for you guys.

Mutav Krpan killed our counterattacks three or four times when we were heading toward Butina or just messing around... That was back in the spring, and on CNN, those Balaban clips were everywhere. 😍 No matter where you went out that night, you’d run into groups of city fans singing them.

brisktrucker2 said:What kind of derbies are we even talking about lately? Honestly, it’s getting harder and harder to find any real passion left in the game, which is just exhausting to witness. I remember sitting in my living room back in the day, watching old tapes on Blockbuster, feeling that genuine electricity when a rivalry actually meant something, but now? It feels like everything is watered down. You see these fans, these self-proclaimed diehards, acting like they care, but there's no soul behind it. It reminds me of this one time I was driving through Chicago during a massive storm—everything felt chaotic and loud, yet completely empty at the same time—and that’s exactly how these modern matchups feel to me. Just noise without the substance. It’s all just spectacle now, isn't it? Purely performative.

It’s absolutely freezing out there today, just a solid 4.00 degrees on the thermometer, and frankly, I find the whole situation quite disagreeable. I was sitting by the window earlier, nursing a lukewarm cup of coffee—which, mind you, was already subpar because the machine at the local diner seems to be losing its touch—and watching the frost creep across the glass, thinking about how much more manageable things were back in the day. You know, when the weather followed a predictable rhythm rather than this erratic, biting chill that seems determined to settle right into your bones. It reminds me of a winter I spent up in Chicago years ago; the wind coming off the lake was nothing short of malicious, much like this current cold snap. One can hardly step outside without feeling an immediate, sharp rebuke from the atmosphere. It’s simply not ideal for anyone, let alone those of us who prefer a bit more warmth in our lives. 🤷
It’s exactly 8:30, and honestly, my head is absolutely splitting—just a constant, throbbing ache that makes me want to retreat into a dark room and stay there until next Tuesday. I was sitting here trying to focus on some reading, much like how I used to spend my Sunday mornings back in Chicago before everything became such a frantic mess, but the pain just won't let up. It’s one of those relentless, pounding sensations that really puts a damper on any attempt at productivity. 🤦 🤣

Just take a look at how those protest signs are being thrown up over here and over there; it’s truly remarkable how much chaos people can cause with just a bit of cardboard and a loud enough voice. It reminds me of that one summer I spent driving through the Midwest, seeing nothing but endless stretches of highway and various local demonstrations popping up in every small town we passed through—it seems like a universal human urge to make a scene, doesn't it? Whether you're standing on a street corner in Chicago or somewhere halfway across the world, the sheer lack of order in how these messages are displayed is almost identical. It's all just a mess of uncoordinated shouting and haphazardly taped posters. 🙂 🙏
The grass has been absolutely butchered, and frankly, I find the whole situation quite distressing. 🤣

🤣 Krpan played like a benchwarmer. 😁

And honestly, even the grass on the field looks like it was mowed way too short.🤣

...I'd trade a billion dollars worth of Strupar

Man, I’ve been hunting for years for that one derby in Split—I think it was May '93. Total madness, just pure USA vibes... 🙏

I actually know a guy who has pretty much every Liverpool FC match on Blockbuster tapes from '88 onwards. Last time I laid eyes on those tapes was maybe five years ago, give or take.

I'll check in with him once I get back home—if he still has them, we can easily upload everything to YouTube later. 🙂

Liverpool FC vs Dinamo 1:2 (Back in 2002)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZqxbR35C3U

Štimac is absolutely losing his mind on the bench, the coach is practically falling off the stands, and Liverpool FC pulls off the win...

Coach is losing his mind on the bench, some guy falls off the stands, and the away team pulls the win...

Nice one, man.

Anyway, what ended up happening to that guy who fell from the stands?

Sadly, one of our youngest veterans passed away today—one of the brightest minds in the North. He was only 16 when he served.

What on earth was going through Iggy's head there? And how could he just wave goodbye to di Cania like that? 🙏
I really feel the need to point this out again, though—it’s our fence, our stadium, our business. All that wild euphoria after the goal, the way the game was flowing...

Mickey, if I'm not mistaken, he caught himself in the eye—so he had to head out.

Ever catch a glimpse of us back in '50—you know, with Jane right in the middle toward the back? 🤣

What a player, what an attitude on the field, uffffffff, a true club legend. Such a shame that football is just like anything else, filled with bottom-of-the-barrel types.
As for everything else, I honestly don't even know what to say.😁
We hate the owners, we hate the management, we love the home team and a good bottle of wine; those are basically the slogans of this era. 😍
And one more thing, if you took any of the three previous iterations of this squad, they would have beaten today's team 11-0.☕

Morgan Sanchez64 said:What an absolute player, what a presence on the field, man... just wow. A true club legend. It is such a profound tragedy that football, much like almost everything else in this world, is tainted by the absolute dregs of humanity.
As for anything else regarding his character, I honestly haven't the slightest clue what one would even say.😁
We hate the owners, we despise the management, but we love the Los Angeles Dodgers and a good bottle of Napa Valley Cabernet; those are the kinds of slogans you hear around here these days. 😍
And I will go one step further: if you took any of those three legendary squads from back in the day, all three of them would absolutely demolish today's Los Angeles Dodgers 11-0.☕

In a single game, not even if you added them all up🤣
