New FA rule to be introduced
Following the successful first trial of the new rule "Liverpool goalie when needed" in the 2001 FA Cup Final, the Charity Shield saw its first competitive use in the 2001-2002 season and once again it passed the test with flying colours.
The "Liverpool goalie when needed rule" allows any Liverpool player to handle the ball inside the penalty area in the same way that a normal goalkeeper can, which should ensure that Liverpool concede fewer goals when under pressure from SUPERIOR opposition. First mooted as a way of trying to ensure that an inadequate Liverpool team might actually win a trophy, the FA have been vindicated with Liverpool now having two trophies directly attributable to the "goalie when needed" rule.
An FA spokesman said "It was the only way we could envisage Liverpool ever winning anything. They used to be such a great side, and we felt sorry for them."
Gerard Houllier said "I am very pleased with the way Stephane Henchoz has adapted to the new 'Liverpool goalie when needed' rule. His two crucial saves in the cup final last season showed his early promise, and his extra pre-season training with our goalkeeper coach was fully vindicated with two splendid saves today. We fully deserved to win the game with the safe handling of Westerveld and
Henchoz."
Sven-Goran Eriksson, who was watching the match, is following events closely. He has already considered Jamie Carragher for that difficult England left back position, and with FIFA being petitioned by the FA to introduce a similar new rule to govern England v Germany games, it is possible that his Liverpool experience may
count in his favour.

Great post Ortega, very funny!
I almost took you seriously to begin with..... :-)
I used to be a football referee for Under 13s *Everyone shouts abuse at Dav1d* but Im not anymore! All those parents on the sidelines.... they were worse than the players! :-)
