Bayern Munich v Liverpool 22/04/1981

[@olaspaz3079]

LOVE THIS! I was a liverpool junkie (still am) but only had static wave transistor radio and Sportsnight here in Dublin to get my childhood European cup fix. Remember it like it was 43 years ago. The game has changed in good and bad ways. So has everything else.

[@PeterAnderson-z4y]

I think it was same all over UK, no live coverage but just live radio coverage on BBC Radio 2 or highlights on Sports night after 10pm. The party German Bayern Munich fans thought they would have if they beat Liverpool. Look at Liverpool defence Colin Irwin and Richard Money.

[@carlomassa9641]

football as it should be......old times way,,,,without VAR//////// no tatoo.......without losing time, without fake injury/pain/wound .........and above all with very good players...I miss it enormously

[@mkrbrtsn1]

I agree 100% but I think even VAR would have given the penalty on Howard Gayle!

[@chiantiar]

I disagree. Back then there were less foreigners in these clubs which means less overall talent. The pass back rule to the GK slowed the game down. Persistent fouling was not enforced so fouling to slow down the game was a very common tactic, slowing the game down even more. No VAR, no goal line tech so they just trusting 1 set of eyes to make crucial decisions. The stadiums were very bad (still are in Serie A) and the pitch has mud in both goals in this game shown here, kinda bush league IMO. 1 big upside of this era is the true fans are not priced out so the atmosphere I'm sure was way better when you weren't getting crushed to death.

[@samuraininjarockstar9355]

@@chiantiarabsolute rubbish , why would you want teams full of foreigners???? That’s what’s ruined international football and youth academy’s , this is the greatest era of football when the best team in Europe won the European cup , where teams like Red star Belgrade , steau Bucharest , hajduk split, Dynamo Kiev were all awseome , Brazilian players stayed in Brazil and maybe had a season in Italy end of there career , the money was spread out evenly you couldn’t buy trophies like Chelsea, Man City, great managers like Clough, Paisley, Sacchi, Cruyff, won things with intelligence not cheque books, anyone who’s seen the game change to the farce it is today realises that it’s only Gen Z Mbappe fanboys & C.Ronaldo fanboys who love the joke that football is today because they don’t know any better ….

[@Coxy-b34]

@@chiantiar Don't agree about the foreigners at clubs as I believe teams show be represenative of their country, even better still their town/city. However, everything else you say is correct, unfortunately we will always have the rose tinted "football was better back in the day" comments particularlyin regards to old videos such as this. The back pass rule alone is a big reason why that modern football is more enjoyable. 3 points for a win also improved the game as away teams would almost always play for a draw. More goals scored nowadays, more pressing, higher tempo, more technique/skill and a lot less long balls.

Poor quality semis tbh. The ref was shocking in this game. Why did Gayle get taken off?. He looked our biggest threat

[@DaveWallerLFC]

Howard Gayle had been booked, conceded a few free kicks and was seemingly being wound up (and fouled repeatedly) by the Bayern players. I think the fear was that he might get sent off. Even harder to believe that a player carrying this threat in a massive game didn't get picked again for Liverpool after the end of this season.

Yes a bizarre decision Maybe there is more to it than we know, but it does seem strange. Hansen was woeful in the first leg too

Bosman still haunts the sport...I actually liked the three foreigners rule. But in our modern world that wouldn't work....but I always like a forced two players from the U21 team in which one HAS TO PLAY and the other has to be at least on the bench. I didn't start watching football until 87...but the sport has definitely changed. I miss the Libero, the classic interceptor 6 destroying and fighting a battle with the playmaker (10)....and teams playing with completely different tactics...5-3-2 with Libero, two man marking defenders, two wing backs, 6,8,10 and two strikers....3-4-3 like Ajax Amsterdam....the Italian 4-4-2.... Now it all seems like there is only pressing, counters and fast wingers.... I miss variety and culture....the big leagues all play similar these days.

Bosman had nothing to do football. All he did was invoke European Union laws that said you can’t keep a worker without a contract, otherwise he’s a free agent and essentially self-employed.
