The first semi-final I went to was in 1974 at Old Trafford when we drew 0-0 with Leicester, I never went to the replay as I had an exam the following day .

Only been living in the UK for 5 years.

Highbury vs Portsmouth '92.

 

Ronnie Whelan, get in!

Liverpool 3 v Palace 4 at Villa Park 1990?

 

One of the most emotional rollercoasters of a game i've ever been too.

1971 at Old Toilet when we beat the blues**** 2-1. In those days the away end there had no roof over it - although we had the Stretford End on the day

'01 Semi, I went the Final as well.

 

And A Horn was born

[Hightown Phil]

Not very wild.

1986

[Jim Price]

1985, first match against United at Goodison.

[Lou]

The first of the 3 games against Arsenal in the marathon semi-final of 1980. Submitting the nervous system to one semi-final is bad enough but three added up to way too much stress.

[fyds]

The infamous Clive Thomas game at Maine Road. We couldn't find my mates Dad's car afterwards and had to thumb it home. He wasn't too happy as we got home before him as he waited for us in the parking lot for about 4 hours afterwards.

[sirstan]

white hart lane in 86. a nice 2-0 win for the reds and a nice 8-1 touch on West Tip in the national to pay for the day out.

 

Likewise, not that comfortable as I recall - Saints took us to extra time before 2 Rushie goals sunk them

That was half empty wasn't it? Tickets were a rip off and there was a bit of a protest I think.

 

 

And yet this year, tickets are going for up to a tenner more than then (okay, I know it was a decade ago but inflation hasn't risen that much) and yet we are queueing up to pay it, and more from scalpers, for this year at the same ground! WTF's going on there?

Vs Man Ure at Woodison, '85 I think it was. 2-2

 

Paul Walsh scored 2 last minute equalizers (one normal time, one ET) but we missed the second cos me Dad made us leave early (scared of mum & late for tea!). . I've never left a game early since.

1965 Semi v Chelsea at Villa Park. I enjoyed that match even more than the Final. At that time Chelsea were considered to be the class team, and when the press were being nice about Liverpool, they called us a "machine." The script was that Chelsea were going to give us a football lesson. As it turned out, it was men against boys. Peter Thompson scored a great goal in front of the Liverpool fans, cutting in from the wing, and then I think Willie Stevenson scored a penalty later on.

 

I think that match was a turning-point - the media were more respectful about Shankly's team after that.
