I always had faith in Vladi, and he came through in the clutch.

for such a talented player, its a shame his career at anfield never really took off the way i promise to do when we saw glimpses of his skill in between injuries and fitness worries. i always liked him, and it is a shame for him that a lot of fas never really warmed to him the way they have to others. he genuinely loved this club-not in the way we do as supporters, but in a respectful way- and he wanted to play well for us and be successful for us. it just never really went to plan.

vladi i wish you all the luck in the world, take care of yourself, thanks for the memories YNWA

Here, here. Thanks for the memories Vladi. Your contribution on Wednesday was immeasurable in the joy it has given us.

Top man. A goal every 2 games in internationals is class, shame he couldn't reproduce it for us but it wasn't for lack of trying

TuteeHead · « **Reply #6 on:** May 27, 2005, 06:55:41 pm »

lets not get excited, he was shit

but raffa got the best out of him, in the little glimpses i seen of him in the last few matches.

Shame he is 32, otherwise raffa mite have kept him.

Lister · « **Reply #7 on:** May 27, 2005, 06:56:11 pm »

Second that. Best of luck in finding a new club. Just don't score against us.

he wasnt. if anything i would have thought what you'd have seen of him in his recent appearances wouod prove he was a very talented player

his career here was marred by injuries, so he never really got a sustained period playing in the first team, so we never really saw the best of him. by the time rafa arroved, he was never going to displace the more established first team players, and garcia has certainly proved that he diserved to be starting as many games as possible, despite his sometimes dodgy premeirship form

vladi wasnt the greatest player in the world, but he ceratintly could be better than the average

kevinbrodie · « **Reply #9 on:** May 27, 2005, 07:00:17 pm »

Vlad has probably played a dozen or so good games for us over the years, mabye a few more. Always had the talen but just seemed to get injured at the wrong time and was never used in his preferred role. Saying that I always thought and still think he was not consistent enough for Liverpool FC.

However Vlad helped change the game. The second goal...and rewatching the game, he started the move for our third with a pass outwide to Jamie.

Thanks Vlad, you are welcome back anytime. I hope you stay in the Premier league so we can clap you when you come back.

im sure he get what he deserved..a remarkable night as his farewell party.

TuteeHead · « **Reply #11 on:** May 27, 2005, 07:05:08 pm »

yeah it was probably worth payin all those millions in wages for him, etc

jus for this one goal !

and he played really well in the final too

Is there any player you actually think is good?

Sabbi yypia · « **Reply #13 on:** May 27, 2005, 07:28:02 pm »

I'm sorry to see him leave, im so glad that he got a chance to take part in the final and contributed towards our win, its surely the best leaving present ever. Good luck to wherever he decides to go (except when playing against us)

Thanks mate, I'll miss you loads. I guess I won't ever need to change my user name now.

Good luck. YNWA

Exactly, was almost filling up when I saw that on SSN on Thursday morning. I haven't been his biggest fan, but he ain't shit as someone suggested earlier & he is now forever etched into Anfield folklore!

Good luck Vladi YNWA

Thanks Vladi!

You hade a lot of memories that held you back and we never got to see the real qualities that you have, until THAT night, but you will always be remembered for the the passion you have for the club. During the celebration I recognised that he was singing along to YNWA! True red!

Good luck for the rest of your career, YNWA!

Ian Brown · « **Reply #22 on:** May 27, 2005, 08:33:51 pm »

Vladi's had a tough time of it over the years, but he's always tried and by all accounts he's one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.

Although he hasn't always performed well, there have been signs of class and I can't help but like him.

Nice one Vlad, made up for you that you've gone out in style.

RumDrinker · « **Reply #23 on:** May 27, 2005, 08:37:33 pm »

Is there anyway to send emails/letters to players?

Paul Tomkins · « **Reply #24 on:** May 27, 2005, 08:38:47 pm »

What a way to bow out! How perfect can it be that your last touch in a Liverpool shirt is to score the penalty which won the European Cup, having earlier scored a crucial goal that turned Gerrard's consolation into the goal that scared the life out of Milan?

A shame about all the injuries, as he has the talent. He's always been one of my favourite players, but more in hope than in what he delivered. But he played a big part in 2001, and while he didn't do much at all this season in his limited run-outs, he more than delivered on the biggest occasion.

archie · « **Reply #25 on:** May 27, 2005, 08:43:18 pm »

even before the final he said some really good things about the club.
never my favourite but he played his part when injury free.

fair play vladi and all the best

Give it a rest. Why leave a comment on a thread called "Vladimir Smicer Appreciation thread" saying he was shit?

GaryM · « **Reply #27 on:** May 27, 2005, 08:49:41 pm »

I've always liked Vladi. I'm so glad he got the chance to bow out on such a high. He'll never be forgotten now.

RumDrinker · « **Reply #28 on:** May 27, 2005, 08:50:31 pm »

Is there anyway RAWK could put together some sort of card or email together with supportive comments and send it to Smicer(and Hamann should he be leaving)?

I'd hate the guy leaving thinking we all hate him, when we all respect the difficulties he's had with injuries and thank him for his two massive contributions in the final.

Just a thought...

Lanrmort · « **Reply #29 on:** May 27, 2005, 08:50:59 pm »

Didn't want to start a new thread for this, but can anyone tell me if Baros actually got the last touch on Smicer's shot?

Obviously it's Smicer's goal, no doubt, but it looks through my dodgy eyes that maybe the ball skimmed off Baros and changed direction slightly in the process.

Beef · « **Reply #30 on:** May 27, 2005, 08:52:05 pm »

I never liked Smicer, until the other night, what a gobshite I am, good luck Smicer mate.

As a few on here might know Vlad was one of my favorite players and I will be sad to see him leave.

After his performance in the CL final, am made up. Thank you, thank you Vladi. All the best in your endeavors and good luck kiddo. You'll never walk alone nor be forgotten

What a memorable sending off, got a bit teary eyed when he kissed the badge after scoring the pen

grimreaper · « **Reply #38 on:** May 28, 2005, 01:17:23 am »

Ian-TN · « **Reply #39 on:** May 28, 2005, 01:23:46 am »

His form, in limited games, since his return from injury has been encouraging. I honestly believe he should be given another year, as the kind of commitment and ability shown at home to them from across the park and in the final, isn't something that's easily found.

He'll be better under Rafa than Houllier cos of the style of play. On the ball, is there many better than Vladi??

Good luck in the future mate, hope everything works out for yer.
