yep thats the 1 and i know there was a few mins left plus injury time, i spoke to ladbrokes customer services and explained i only needed a goal for my bet to come in so i can understand if i need the home team to win but i didnt need them to win just to score and their was still time. if it was a close match when it happened ladbrokes actually told me there would be a possibility for both teams to come back and finish it off lol. i said that dont help me does it! when stuff like this happens with a bookmaker it puts you off and you tend to find another one!

I did that in High School mate... Wind blew it in though.

did i actually say spray them with hose pipes, i meant fire hose or whatever they are called! i need sleep!

It was the correct decision according to their rules for football betting.

"Should a match be abandoned prior to the completion of 90 minutes play, all markets will be void, unless the governing body has declared an official result."

Still looks good when it happens though, thing is i think Recoba meant that one it was his left foot too, take a look at this, it's pretty cool



It's the Barca Milan game in Catalan, with video effect, really cool I think football sounds so much more exciting in Latin American or Spanish commentary what do you think?

So MF's bet should've been a winner then?

Benfica would be a daunting task, but I guess that's the great thing about European competitions, you get the chance to play glamour ties against Benfica.

Exactly why I wish Liverpool were still in the Europa League, Benfica are a great club, one of the biggest in the world, not just europe, would be a great game to watch for newcastle fans with the chance to travel to somewhere like Estadio da luz, It's a great place with a great atmosphere, possibly one of the best places to go to watch a game

check out this video (skip to 3 mins to see what i mean)



I was lucky enough to go there to watch Benfica play Porto when we lived in Portugal

thats what i thought he meant as well, but ladbrokes said something about the associated press declared it 3-0 win so result stood anyway, never mind i will bankrupt them 1 day
