Dearie me, that keeper Loris Karius? I cannae recall a keeper making two massive blunders like that in any major match before. 

The poor lad will have to have a huge personality to recover from that.

Robertson played very well.

Don't really like either team, but watched it to see how Andy Robertson did, and found myself wanting Liverpool to do it. Until I heard that whiney cunt Gerrard talking anyway.

Was desperate for Andy to do well and not have a bad mistake or OG type thing. Keeper took care of that side of things. Don't really care they lost. Loved Andy's tackle on Ronaldo when he was away to score.

1st time I've given a fuck about Liverpool since I was 10.

Only reason I wanted them to win was for oor ex player and I don't like Ronaldo as a person.

Bottom line is he did well. That tackle is already a news story across the globe.

He will be worth £60 000 000 at least after that performance and will be the most fkn grounded £60 000 000 plus  player in the history of daft money fitba players!

He will also use the experience to his advantage. Head strong attitude that is above most in the same team. My wee boy was asking why they were crying and I tried to explain but was sure Andy would keep the heed and he did. He might in private but I'm very impressed with him and proud.

bang-on mate.

Funny, see when he signed for Liverpool i was thinking 'i hope he's upto playing for a club of that magnitude'.

See the season he's just had and the way he rises to every new challenge? Starting to think he could potentially play at an ever higher level one day i.e. a Barca, Real etc.

He just has that complete desire about him that every top player needs.

Fit as a fiddle too.

p.s. his tackle on Ronaldo was sublime.
 

 

Makes you wonder how many other good players in lower leagues could do well that are written off as an association with the league they are in.

Mind seeing him charge doon the wing and setting up or scoring and thinking teams will suss out how to counter him and that but I was awfy wrang.

He is unique for sure but being labelled wi a league can write aff some for fkn sure. The price paid shows that is true.

Hope other Scottish players can take a look and learn that the commitment that made Scottish teams do well in the past can be replicated after a decade or 2 of trying to be just technically better if you ken what I mean?

Really don’t like Liverpool, glad they lost.

They didn’t cope mentally with the loss of Salah imo.  Madrid  got a lift and took advantage.

The 2 goals the keeper flogged tho, bloody hell.  The 1sts up there with the worst keeper mistakes ever.  The 2nd Bale should never even have took that shot on tbh, but don’t shoot , don’t score proved right.

As for Bales 1st goal, wow.

Robbo played very well.  World class goal saving tackle, good crosses, defended well.  Dived in early once 1st half but that was really his only mistake.   He’s genuinely turning into one of the best left backs in the world.  He’s come a long way from the boy who looked so awkward  trying to control a simple pass when he made his debut for us.

In fairness to Karius, he was assaulted by Ramos just prior to his first mistake. The same Ramos who was involved in the Salah injury.

"We win as a team, we lose as a team," added Robertson. "We fell short".

Robertson did not go so far as to apportion blame, but said: "I think it is just how he (Salah) has landed but Ramos is quite clever, isn't he"?

"We are clutching at straws if we are saying that. It's unfortunate. It just disrupted our rhythm a wee bit".





I rekon Ramos had an idea what he was hoping to do when he injured Salah.

Ramos absolutely knew what he was doing.  He's a win at any costs sort of player.  He knew that taking Salah out was key to beating Liverpool so he did.  The fact he gets away with it week in week out is an issue for football, but whilst he does why wouldn't you want him in your team.

Thought it was shocking the way the rest of the team dealt with Bale.  He looked totally outside the team. No wonder he shot from distance and made the best of a cross not intended for him.  He wasn't getting a pass otherwise.  If he is at Madrid next season I'll eat several hats.

Totally agree, Finn, and welcome to the forum.

Cheers - been watching for a while (was on Eastfootball, but got out of the habit there).
