Credit to your players!How the hell they managed to play without laughing is beyond me! No complaints from me about the ref.....fucked up with the penalty retake,but otherwise he was ok! Oh, please!!! I was there and there were no reason for that penalty to be called to begin with... That degenerate ref. screwed up entire game. Shame, just shame.... Besides, how the hell can you laugh playing with 9 players against a power house like Everton? On the other note, let me tell you people how much I was pleased to spend these 3 days in your city and feel your hospitality. Class act, Liverpool! I hope most of those of you who will go to Kharkov can say the same.

I don't mean to rub it in your face people, you certainly know your players much better than I do and I do not dispute to what you have said, but I think that the reason you could not beat Metallist despite horrendous job by the referee (in my opinion) was because we came to Liverpool with nothing to lose. Nobody outside of Ukraine knows our team and nobody really respects us either (just ask that bum referee- 2 penalties, 2 red cards.....are you freaking kidding me?), but that is nothing new. We are not as good as Everton, but we have a lot of heart and I hope we proved it tonight. I hope that the match in Kharkov will show better football than this. I am not predicting anything; I just want to have a fair chance to play

Thanks to you all. Railroad it is. If we ever meet, beer is on me! Here is an interesting video presentation of Kharkiv: Regards, Vitaly k.

Josh, That fuss is creation of their own goverment. Ukraine is still emerging from the shadow of the communizm. And the communizm as you may remember was an iron steel fence society. Besides, not to many can afford to make a trip over to Liverpool. The cost would run over 6 month of their wages. Very sad indeed. Vitaly K.

Mike, I am planning to fly over to London and take a train to Liverpool. That will save me more than $1500 if I take a direct fly from New York to Liverpool. I'd rather spend them in the bar with your crazy fanatics. Do you think it is a good idea to go by train from London or perhaps to rent a car? Vitaly K.

No, not really - the game will be played at the Metallist stadium only one section of which (1/4 stadium seating capacity) is under renovation.

I second that, but your English is pretty good. Where did you learn to speak?

Talking about Manchester United. I saw a second half of that 2-4 debacle over the net. I don't mean to rub it in to your face, but holly crap.....what a devastating loss! You know our teams have a lot in common, we seem to have a similar problem with Dinamo Kiev. They and Shahter have our number. They practically owe us, the rest of the league is a cake walk. Well, I do not want to bore you with any more nonsense. Have a good night, Best Regards, Vitaly K.

Thanks Mike and Louis! So no black market ha? Interesting that no one came with an idea of making extra income re-selling tickets. Do you get preference in sittings when buying over the net? Which hotel is best to stay? And the last one (perhaps silly question) - Am I in danger rooting for my team in the crowd of your fanatics? Thanks, Vitaly K.

Nice try, very funny and very cute. A lot of people actually make similar mistake when they translate word for word from English. Hey, I am a big Metallist fan from USA. Can you please tell me if it is possible to get tickets for the upcoming "Everton - Metallist" game? Or if not, do you get tickets on the black market? I really do not care for the price, just don't want to waste opportunity to see Metallist game. Kharkov for me is not a convenient alternative. Thanks

Josh the fans at the Metallist forum have many, many questions for you. Can you reply to them? Thanks. Oh, by the way - when they say Command, they mean Club. Funny....

I'd say Nvoha and specially Zeze are the quickest in the front line. They are not that toll, but plenty quick. Also midfielder from Brazil Edmar is a capable force. Defensively I woul pay attention to a toll and physical Papa Guye (sp) and Goncharzhik (sp) who has a powerful strike and plays for a Polish national team. All in all the team is quite capable to make some noise, but I would in no way place them on the same level with the Everton. However if you are not careful enough, we will make some Liverpool people very sad.

My pleasure, let me know if I can help in the future. Incidentally, can you tell me if tickets are or will be available for upcoming Metallist game? I'll try to make myself free to attend the game.

About 300 members, but daily active about 10-15. They have some other forums, but this one is more comprehensive and perhaps friendlier than others. Folks there are of from the high school to a college graduate age, but some are in their late 30th. And as I mention before English is not their strongest trade, so please do not be offended when they ask you about the hooligan fans that may be coming to Kharkov. I am sure that they meant Ultras.

OK, sorry my mistake. Do not click on Новости, but on the link to the right of it and post in the area in the bottom. Good luck
