Liverpool 1 - Manchester United 1

Granted this post is a little behind as the match in the title was played nearly two weeks ago, but I wanted to share a tidbit of the experience. Donica trolled the chat rooms and found Fox's Bar on the city square which was the meeting place of the Galway Liverpool Supporters Club, as verified by an email to there contact person. Anyways, we got there about 20 minutes before the 1245p kick off to secure a good seat and a bite to eat.


It was a pretty uneventful first half but the two fellows in front of us were friendly and their comments were entertaining, especially when they nicknamed Rio Ferdinand Jar Jar Binks. When Gerrard scored his free kick goal on 65 minutes the place erupted, myself included. Chicharito's equalizer brought the exact opposite effect out of the crowd save one or two United supporters in another part of the bar. Still, it was a good second half of football and a game Liverpool might've won.

Oh, and then there's superfan number one (wearing the Suarez no 7 in the picture). He was sitting right in front of the big screen in a full kit (socks included). He seemed a bit strange and when he walked past I noticed he had several shirts on which gave him a bit of a hunchback look. Only after the game did I understand why, he had more than just a few jerseys on.




He stopped when he had stripped down to his no 8 and it was then that Donica approached him. "Do you have them on in a particular order?" He smiled real big and answered that defenders were on the bottom then midfielders then attackers, including some of the youngsters like Robinson and Flanagan who were on the bench. We counted and calculated and figured he must have had on about 18 shirts. And all this years kit. Like I said, superfan number one!
