Interesting to see how this goes. Money would be handy.

just finishing the game with no injuries will do me..

Nice to see young Cameron Rooney get a start

Obviously this competition doesn't matter, but considering we're off this weekend, I hope the boys put in a good shift.

Obviously this competition doesn't matter...

About £10k for a win in normal time, and the winner will make about a million quid over-all, so there is some small matter!

[Redalert1970]

Another game and the yellow cards have started already

[Keith]

Brown booked for diving, when it certainly looked like he had his trailing leg tapped, just before he was about to shoot.

Very windy. Initially, too many high, long balls, which the wind played havoc with, but we're playing it on the deck more now, and getting slightly on top, but still no clear chances for either side.

Charlie Brown 1 - 0

Fans can go NUTS lol

[Keith]

Somewhat fortuitous, deflection from a clearance, fell nicely to Brown, who finished well.

[Redalert1970]

Makes up for the two deflected goals Liverpool got in the 1st game

Currently ... Blackpool 0 Liverpool 1

[Keith]

Good save from Smith, one on one.

Ref not giving us anything. Looked like more of a handball than the penalty on Saturday.

[Redalert1970]

Table as it stands at half time

Liverpool 4 pts
Blackpool 4 pts
MORECAMBE 3 pts
Barrow 0 pts

[Keith]

Low in quality first half, saved only by a nice Brown finish. The wind making it difficult to play.

I've said this before, and say it again, we really need to understand how the wind affects the ball at our ground.

[Keith]

Barrow defender falls over, and handballs, then covers the ball with his arms and chest. Morecambe player attempts to play the ball, free-kick to Barrow? Even the Barrow commentry said "not sure it was a free kick, but we'll take it".

[Keith]

Barrow player has just gone right through Davenport!

Barrow commentary, "if that was a League game, it would be a red card"...

Davenport now off the pitch due to having the trainer on the pitch.

Rooney after a scramble! 2-0!!

[Redalert1970]

Cameron Rooney 2 - 0

[Zip It Shrimpy]

Nice to see young Cameron Rooney get a start

I think the academy have produced another high quality youngster.

Sign him up on a 3 year deal, asap

[Keith]

Rooney after a scramble! 2-0!!

Actually, not a scramble. The free kick was over hit, but knocked back in to the area. Rawson may have just touched it with the top of his head, or nearly. Rooney then controlled the ball and finished well.

[Keith]

Great save from Smith, from a direct free kick.

[Redalert1970]

Good effort with so many players missing

[Redalert1970]

2 - 1 now

Also Blackpool 2 Liverpool 2

[Keith]

2-1 Barrow goal directly from the corner.

[Andy D]

i was just about to say Smith is playing well in goal.

Barrow really should have made it 2-2. We're hanging on now.
