Liverpool 1 v 1 Everton
By Jody Carr |
Last night a small group of the
ESSCA Southampton Section (Skinny,
Grey Dave, Robbo, Tom and myself)
went down to a branch of a well know
chain of pubs to watch the 180th
Merseyside Derby. Inside we were of
course greeted a by a large
following of the 'Sky Reds'. This
close-up encounter with the strange
creature know as the 'Sky Red' has
inspired me to write a few brief
match report style notes.
- On arrival Grey Dave was showing
pictures of his trip to Bellefield
and Nurnberg - he decided to show
one of these common creatures a few
pics to which they replied: "when
was this 1978" - er no mate last
season and the point is he was
actually there!
- The game kicked off the Sky Reds
started on there 1 pint they were
going to drag out all game (whilst
our table happily bought rounds
willy nilly) [SKY RED Trait 1 -
Tight] Every time Torres went
round Jags they cheered and laughed
and called him crap - I may be wrong
but I'm sure Torres went round him
then Jags got back to block the
shot???
- A great moment of the game then
occurred in the second half as the
Torres hit wide and the pub lifted
up in a roar before minutes later
realising he missed - gotta love the
Setanta cameramen! [SKY RED Trait
2 - Blind]
-
The second half began and as
everyone expected 1 half of their 2
man team scored, they cheered, our
hearts sank yet we remained cool and
up beat.
- Then a moment of wonder, Mikky
delivered a great ball and before we
knew it Timmy was running top the
corner badge in mouth! We jumped 10
feet up, Sky Reds started shouting
(to which we ignored and celebrated)
and I quote:
"You're still rubbish" - yeah but
we're drawing with you at your
ground
"What position are you in the league
though" - erm 6th, does your
teletext not work mate?
"Yeah well done celebrate a draw" -
Thanks we will
"Yeah how many times have you won
the Champions League" - What a
surprise, nice and original
No blame towards the no marking and
no blame towards Senior Benitez for
taking off their 2 forwards worth
£42m [SKY RED Trait 3 - thick]
The final whistle went we cheered,
and songs came out and they still
whinged.
ESSCA Member "So see you Sunday?"
Sky Red "Yeah maybe"
EM "Oh actually we'll be at the
game"
SR "Yeah in the sh*t end"
EM "You're right it is at your
ground!"
All well and good, we we're ready to
leave when a Sky Red come over and
says "Oi mate (in a clear Southern
accent) where in Liverpool are you
from? I'm from Huyton" and starts
giving it some rubbish. [SKY RED
Trait 4 - bullies]
To quote Grey Dave 'I'm happy as a
pig in sh*t!'
