We did incredibly well to get to the final as a championship club and would have won in injury time against a giant team like Liverpool as we should have had a second pen. Extraordinary really.

[@vallanceellis7569]

Liverpool fan here.Brum should have been awarded another penalty prior to extra time.

[@Giovanniditessitore]

Nowadays the Blues would've won it because of VAR

[@stevencarter87]

No chance Scousers always gey them😂

[@ruairiHamilton]

Holyyyy fuck, im from ireland and was visiting my sisters dad in liverpool when which is how i started supporting the reds I bought this final on vhs that was when i was 7 only now am i watching this clip how on earth did Birmingham not get a penalty loll!!

[@Stavos-hq6pk]

The Liverpool centre half's could not handle AJ obvious penalty David Ellery scared to give it because we were a championship club. Fair play to Robbie Fowler he applauded our fans at the end. He knew we were robbed that day kro

[@hakimdamon2870]

There Is A Penalty Not Given To Birmingham , But Enjoyed This Football Era 💚

[@kro13]

How tf was that not a pen, if VAR was around those days we would have won that simple! KRO, UTFB!

[@marttyler2569]

What gets me for the last minute penalty is how on earth did henchoz not get a red and also the foul on Johnson that didn't get a penalty was a joke. Awful refereeing cost us that cup

[@nicalev]

We were absolutely robbed this day, I think ellery even admitted after he got that decision wrong. Kro

[@dannybindley7880]

How we lost this game I’ll never know I was only a kid watching this with my old man broke my heart watching but then 10 years later went on to win the carling cup against arsenal but deffo was a 2nd pen in this how wasn’t given is beyond me KRO

[@charlottebarrett4350]

You would beat Norwich in the play off final on pens in 2002 so swings and roundabouts

[@joehendo72]

I'm a Liverpool fan and that was a clear 2nd pen to you

[@darrenkearns3134]

Trev consoling aj was heartbreaking

[@anthonypreece6447]

We were robbed. Andrew Johnson was robbed of a penalty. The Liverpool fans knew it too .

[@cddb5408]

@@anthonypreece6447 Ref probably felt sorry for Liverpool they hadn't won a trophy for a full 6 years which was also the MickeyMouseCup. This was the first part of the shitty treble in comparison to ManUtd's 2 years earlier. Henchoz should've conceded a pen in both LeagueCup & FAcup finals that season! What about UEFAcup final? Don't know how Liverpool managed to win UEFAcup & Champions league 4 years later conceding a total of 7 goals in both finals. They also lost 6 CL games in 2004/05 & 2018/19 combined and still won both. ManUtd won 2 in a much more convincing style unbeaten in both, top scorers by a distance in 98/99 much harder format of the CL as well.

[@neilbriffa7211]

❤❤❤❤ I was there was nearly dead

[@deanthompson68]

It was a penalty still think about it today

[@ash36230]

Why missing the other penalties in the shootout?

[@jimtheburrito4080]

The first pen that’s a red card in todays game a horrible tackle

[@davekermito79]

Still angry now!

[@alishour5519]

Frankly speaking they should have given Birmingham the cup for keeps what does Birmingham have? Nothing I demand liverpool to give it to them for keeps

[@terrycourt123]

Elleray you bottled it

[@Sur2002Oman]

Who comes from 2024 after carabao final trophy against chelsea

[@charlottebarrett4350]

No one remembers that Fowler goal

[@joshkovenc9978]

I have this whole season on vhs and this vid sparked my memory lol

[@bathcovers]

I was among the Blues fans behind the goal and I do remember it - the ball was in our net before you could blink. Fantastic shot.

[@christendomdefenderbeready3251]

But it helped him buy a load of council house homes. Dodgy Landlord .

[@sammullett17]

we were robbed, that was definitely second penalty when AJ got brought down, remember that day so much the fans were amazing and was a great cup run we deserved that cup :( Adebola was in the form of his life lol

[@bigbaddwolff]

Now now. You missed Birmingham's handball save in the first half, although I agree AJ's tumble over Henchoz's foot would probably be a penalty nowadays. Fowler's superb finish deserved the cup overall.

[@jackquinn4363]

@@bigbaddwolff I'm a Liverpool fan and they were robbed

[@bigbaddwolff]

@@jackquinn4363 Who you support is irrelevant. The game was 20 years ago and how we judge penalties has changed. Goals win games. Elleray awarded them one peno anyway and they lost. It is what it is.

[@BCFC1875Cruzeiro]

If that was not a penalty on Johnson then I am blind 😂

[@johntaylor9065]

Westerveld just looks like Adrián I swear🤣
