To be honest I don't remember but in any case i don't conclude over one match, especially to define a freefall over more than 20 years. Any team can have an off day, a experienced expert as you claim yourself to be should know that. Do you remember that KD team did beat the would be champions United comprehensively 4-1 and Benitez LFC did it at Old Trafford, does that made United crap...over 6 months?

Vish most of the games then were not televised that's why I gave you the example of that game at villa park which I am pretty sure you can see on utube. So it was not one game.

All as you will have known was this legend you read about as a young boy in a far away land. If only you had witnessed it then I am sure you would agree with me.

It is in utube just watched it.

Yes one off game but that was happening regularly and we win the title that year for the last time. But you can see the big cracks forming.
.
Bear in mind the players liverpool had were probably some of the best in the world yet organisation was a shambles. Earlier in the year we beat palace nine nil at anfield we were hot and cold and increasingly cold as the mighty Liverpool ship broke up. I am telling the truth from someone who was there both at villa park and every game home and away back then

irish tv showed liverpool games nearly every week and I can confirm that stanley doesn't know what he is taking about.. sure there was a few problems but the main problem was that souness boughrt crap players instead of good ones.

All this happened in a time when Stan was at an age when he was getting highly opinionated. His opinion's in general are totally off the wall right wing , (loved thatcher and the empire, supports Israel etc)and his admitted hatred of the King falls easily into this type of mindset. No empathy for the special circumstances that hillsborough would have had on the man - probably affected everything he has ever done since...u just just don't go after the king...fair enough say his signings were crap but the hatred he has for him says all u need to know about the poster and it is not a special knowledge he has cause he went to games.

It's got nothing whatsoever to do with Margaret thatcher emp. Stop muddying the waters I have demonstrated a film clearly to Vish and marko so they can see the big cracks that were appearing then, yes there were some great results and performances but we were probably the best league side in the world then. Vish and marko see how a team physically strong destroyed us we had ten times the talent they had.

It was not a one off game. It has happening regularly then and if you claim to have watched it on Irish tv you would have known. Most games were not televised then so you could not have seen all of them.

But he did not stay did he ? And his signings towards the end carter / speedie were in desperation football had changed and he did not know what to do.

we all know why...and that he wanted /expected to come back at some stage...he needed a break........and despite what u say it had everything to do with the massive trauma and tragedy that the club and he went thru..

most people know to leave that time as it was and not to go hounding people involved with irrational hatred
