oO)...a player scoring in his own testimonial.....wow, thats a surprise.

 

[Alcaraz]

lol...He scores for both teams from penalties,never seen that happen before

 

[Ride The Walrus]

Great to see some of the players again, Garcia, McAllister,Dudek all coming backfor Carra.Shame Hyypia couldn't be there

 

[Alex]

Ecstatic Luis Garcia was there.

Also it wouldn't be a proper Carra testimonial without an own goal from the great man himself.

 

[MisterStubbs]

how did Michael Owen do

 

[Billy]

Carragher and those own goals of his... /facepalm

 

[Tezzz]

how did Michael Owen do

He did *****, actually. Got a good few boo's too.

Luis Garcia's goal was a beaut as well!

He got boo'ed all game and often gave the ball away. Obviously not playing anywhere near his best, it is a testimonial and all but he wasn't great tonight at all.

Fair enough.

 

[Ben]

Fair enough.

To be fair though it was a testimonial and Carragher scored a penalty against his own side. You can't really judge how well someone plays in a match like this.

The thing that suprised me about this game is the fact they chose to play it at a time when Gerrard couldnt play in it. Surely of all players that Carragher would want in it, he would want Gerrard. Maybe he will have another one when he retires I dont know, just thought it was odd. Certainly dont get many players more loyal to a club than Carragher though, love him or hate him you cant fault that. Top pro.

I agree totally with this statement. Gerrard flew back to play 10 minutes in the game although yes, I too would have expected it to be at a time when Gerrard could play 45 minutes or more.

Carra's best mate was always Owen. Gerrard used to be closer to Danny Murphy.

Read what Ben said. He also missed an absolute sitter about 10 minutes in. Obviously not finding his form at all this season.
