PeteRobbo Report post Posted October 1 3 minutes ago, Mark Kelly said: Yep . Sod's law. I was in the Bernabeu for a CL semi between Real and Dortmund I think it was. It was a long time back. The night that the Ultras pulled back too hard on the ropes attached to the goalposts and pulled them out of the ground, breaking them in the process. Do you remember this? They didn't have a spare set at the ground and so they had to fetch one from the training ground which is out near the airport. It took ages and the game eventually kicked off at 11pm. I was 3 tiers up in an area which was usually used for standing! Yes, standing 3 tiers up! Because standing wasn’t allowed for CL games, you received a cushion when you went in and simply plonked that down on the concrete. There was a very pungent smell of hashish up there which was pleasant, but I was freezing by the time the final whistle blew. Final score? Yep! 0-0! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not much to complain of there. I saw the first three and presumed they drew pots 4, 3, 2 first. Edited October 1 by Droy was my hero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Report post Posted October 1 Some people are never happy, and that’s coming from me! If you wanted a draw we could qualify from, then we have it. If you wanted teams we don’t face ‘often’ then we have that. If you wanted some giant matches where we might get out of the group then we don’t have that. Can’t see us pulling up many trees in the competition this season anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeBoeufsGolfBall Report post Posted October 1 Plus we get to see Diego Carlos up close! If we want a strong centre half who defends well , makes blocks and headers everything away. We could do much worse ! If we want an elegant ball playing centre half then he not that man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
