Thought I might have broken a toe I kicked the wall so hard.
Shouldn't be a goal, it's gone past the 4 minutes of stoppage time, fair enough.
The worst part was the commentary right before it.
"If Liverpool score now, surely that would be the winner."
The exact reaction in our house:
We didn't think it was a foul in the first place, Gerrard bought it. The commentator says "If Liverpool score now, surely this will be the winner."
I got an image of McAllister lining up against Paul Gerrard. I put my head in my hands. Didn't even watch. I heard a groan of agony from my dad and a splutter of rage from my brother, looked up, saw Suarez running away celebrating...
I couldn't believe it. Could not believe it. It would have been the tipping point for me - I think I would have stopped watching football.
I looked across, my dad crunched half a can of Fosters in one hand and was about to launch it at the telly or the window, one of the two...
That's when the linesman holding his flag came on screen; all three of us yelped with relief and actually celebrated it. My brother then pointed out Baines was on the counter, but then it was all a blur, even when Distin nearly gave Suarez the win at the end.
Amazing stuff. Still haven't came down from it.
Let's be honest, away from the Suarez stuff, it was a bloody boss game of football, really enjoyed it. Maybe enjoyed isn't the right word, but it was entertaining.
