What a result for Liverpool! I was worried they'd get slaughtered after the first 15mins but Barca just couldn't really pull it together like they able to and Liverpool played well. Shame Liverpool's goals didn't come in the second half though, I would have won ?170.

Well, ref was ok, good result for liverpool, camera work was appauling, but the worst of all was barcelona, i am truely dissapointed, i thought they were meant to be a football team, not a bunch of fairy's, seriously, UEFA need to sort out this diving, if the play goes down and there is no contact, they should recieve a one match suspension for every time it happens, there are enough cameras to form a decision, we need to come down hard on this diving cos its spoiling the game, football - contact sport, not any more!

The referee was terrible, he would not let play flow and 80% of the decisions he made where wrong. Did anyone else think the Spanish camera men did a crap job as well? You could not even see the ball half the time.

Bellamy was a legend with his Golf club celebration :D

Right, and how exactly do you determine whether there was contact or not during a game? In fact, how do you define contact? Bearing in mind these players are running faster that most of us can imagine.

Obviously there are some cases in which diving is blatant (C. Ronaldo anyone?), but you have to appreciate the skill and pace in the game, and the slightest hint of physical contact will bring a player down. And yeah, they will make a meal of it, wouldn't you?

Seriously, the subject has had it's fair share of discussion, and I think for the time being we just have to accept it's part of the modern game. I'm sick of all these announcers whining on about modern players being soft, modern players diving. The game has evolved.

Get over it.

As for the game, well I'm hugely disappointed as a Barca fan. Terrible performance.

You have to admit, barca went down a lot tonight, and liverpool aint the most physical team, and it wasnt as tho there was a lot of skill making most of your players go down so easily! :rofl:

for an example of the shoddy refereeing, in the chelski game, essien (i think) tackled i think Assuncao right by the half way line touchline, got the ball cleanly, in the second half, was an amazing tackle i reckon, and although the player went down, took the ball cleanly from him...and gave a free kick.... was shocking

also, i swear the camera men were blind and were operating under radio - "left a bit, down a bit,right,etc etc" was really really poor!

Get in there! Liverpool are through! I hardly have any nails left now, I was crapping myself all the way through, especially in the last fifteen minutes just after Barca scored. Liverpool played very well and we controlled the game, just as we did during most of the game at the Nou Camp. The atmosphere at Anfield was fantastic and I think it really helped lift the players at the end of the game when we started to get a bit heavy legged! I think we where unlucky not to win though, we hit the crossbar twice and we should of scored when Valdes made two great saves and then Puyol cleared off the line, but I knew Barca would end up scoring as it just had to be a nervy finale, there was just no other way!

Carra was IMMENSE!

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      By SystemX2 · Posted

      Last week I was investigating an issue with contacts and tried using the new Outlook. In the real (Classic) Outlook, you can easily go to any Outlook folder and present it in a Table View, then customize the columns to show/sort any field, which was exactly what I needed. But of course, the new Outlook doesn't have this feature at all. I gave up. Oh, and can we possibly stop claiming the new Outlook has PST support? What it really has is the ability to use the real Outlook in the background to pretend to have PST support. There is no PST support without the real Outlook installed.

      Honestly just before Panos left it started to feel like MS just wasnt interested in them so they were being less innovative with them, and then when he DID leave for Amazon its kind of clear the direction is gone. It felt like Panos had both goals and drive, and a vision, but it felt like no matter what his title/department was the Surface devices never had the full interest of the rest of management and he was just pushing a bolder up a hill that MS was adding dirt to as he went.
    • A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final leg of the Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways promotion just landed, and it brought along two more games to keep. Last week's Lonestar and Calico giveaways have now been replaced with copies of Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest to claim for PC gamers. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. Diving into the games, Songs of Conquest is developed by Lavapotion. This is a turn-based 4X strategy experience that has players making tough decisions and participating in tactical combat while also managing their kingdom. "Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown," explains the developer. "Wage battles against armies that dare oppose you, hunt for powerful artifacts and expand your territory. The world is ripe for the taking – seize it." Meanwhile, Rogue Waters comes from developer Ice Code Games. This rogue-lite experience has you taking the role of Captain Cutter as he commands his ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters. You'll be recruiting and training crew, use sea creatures, and battle with other ships and pirates. "Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance," adds the developer. "Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets." The newly available Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day, which is slated to be Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
