Probably the game with both my most exciting incident as a City fan (Ben Turners equaliser) and my most infuriating/frustrating incidents (Kenny Millers miss and the penalty shoot out)
If ever we had 1 hand on a trophy in my lifetime- this was it.
Ps haven't got sky sports so aren't watching 🙂
Never watched it before, didn’t realise Liverpool’s Gerard should have possibly seen a red card for hitting Gunnerson in the face !!!
Where was VAR ?:hehe:
I thought we'd won the cup when Kenny was through. You'd expect a striker to hit the bloody target from there
I still can't watch it. It was a shocking miss. And then he missed a ****ing penalty. ****.Quote:

I agree with you on the Hamburg game though, the first and only time I've shed tears of sorrow at a football match. The late Hamburg winner was too much for a 14 year old to take.Quote:

I think you're right on reflection. We actually performed against Liverpool and would have won if it wasn't for Kenny bloody Miller. Nothing can change my feelings about Blackpool and Hamburg though.Quote:

I believe it was in the last minute of full time proper, not extra time. My grand-daughter could have scored itQuote:

Kenny Miller must’ve missed about 5 1v1’s that game.
With regard to the chance he had in the Final...well, Malky couldn’t wait to get rid of Chopra, but I bet he would’ve buried that Miller chance.
On the flip side, he did assist Mason for the first with a nicely waited pass which ripped the Liverpool defence apart.
