Be arsed writing or reading that

Honestly, it's a fantastic read. It's so good that I've shared it with all of my cup final losing friends so they can share the pleasure.

I’ll have a go when I take a dump after

The subsequent hysteria, paranoia, and vitriol, is proving to more entertaining than the match itself.

It's every Evertonian's duty to keep stirring the pot.

I am confident that we can shortly see an appeal to the European Court of Human rights.

The pre-match hyperbole, married to RS delusions, has now resulted in a hangover of monumental proportions.

Amazed that we have all not been requested to observe 3 day's of national mourning.

Suggest that each Blue goes to The Pit next season with an arm in a sling. Would make a great pic.

Tbh a banner of ramos lifting the trophy would be enough

I can honestly say that I have never before come across a RS fan like you.

They do exist, they spend there time actually supporting the club rather than engaging in dramatics and hysterics to try and prove how boss a fans they are

spent the day watching this goal over and over and over again...

All schadenfreude aside, that is quite possibly the best goal I've seen, simply because of the way he could react to and judge the pace of the cross. Stunnng.

The fact that since the final Liverpool the club and their supporters have blamed a GK and Ramos for their snotting is great news. I'd be far more concerned if they were coolly assessing where it went wrong and what they have to do to get better and win trophies. Their reaction underlines to me that they remain at the emotional level and are not serious contenders for any major trophy - and that's even if they add 2/3 more very good players.

Petitions and lynch mobs are what we need to continue to see from that lot.

How did the parade thing go?

I take it Liverpool council workers are on double time clearing up the tons of litter left from the parade.

Yep. Unable to look critically and objectively at themselves because of delusions of grandeur caused by the fact that they haven't won anything or been a top team now for several decades.

I honestly cant believe how most of them truly believe ramos deliberately set out to hurt salah. .. the challenge wasn't even a foul .

It was a foul, the sort of foul a defender commits as often in the game as he can before he has been booked by making sure the quicker striker doesn't get past him at any cost. The fact Salah got injured was pure bad luck. Ramos has defended like that for years and will for the next few. Bet they wish they had a defender who was as good as him.

Despicable from a fellow 'pro'

Pennant now desperately back peddling saying it was "banter"

Was never a foul..... they both went in 100% committed to win the ball... ramos was stronger...plays the ball then both playes tumbled....it probably happens 3 or 4 times a game in every game.

When it happened I thought it was a foul and Ramos being Ramos. Also thought Salah would be in for a tough night actually playing against a defender who can defend as there aren't many in the Premier League who can. Salah was in for a much tougher night than I expected and it was glorious.

...old fellas like me will clearly remember Gerry Byrne being a hero for the Reds in the 1965 FA Cup Final. He played almost the whole match with a broken collar bone as the Reds beat Leeds 1-0.

Fast forward 53 years and Mo Salah goes off the field in a European Cup Final with a sprained shoulder. I know times change but what a contrast (@Joey66).

Are you old enough to remember City's Bert Trautman breaking his neck in the 56 final?
