This is the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

Welcome to another Ali Louge for Liverpool Echo and you've had poetry in motion and

I lay the Rouge in the same week so there must be a crisis that's the only thing

that's the only thing that to say no expense spared by the Liverpool Echo. I've got Stephen Monaghan with us tonight

who's just got back from Belgrade and also John Nicholson

who didn't go to Belgrade but watched the nightmare of the Balkans on his

television. So Moni you've just got back I mean you suitably refreshed you've

had a cup of tea and a blue ribbon yeah?

Yeah I've had six hours sleep.

My first in three days I have to work in lights so yeah very tired but it's what we do as football fans in it.

So what was the experience like obviously I'm going to go on to the match but what was the experience like?

What was Belgrade like?

Belgrade was fine, you know, the people were absolutely brilliant. There was no trouble,

I saw anyway. Not like good the sissies, you're going, you think, I've got to be careful here.

But, you know, we've heard the scare stories about the rest of our

fans and what I again. But on the best behavior. Yeah actually there was no one I must see

to us. Maybe the band's worked then.

Yeah, you know, I thought the city was great, you know, everyone you spoke to

there, like for the corporate lights there and Kel's had no problems whatsoever.

Yeah, yeah.

There were a few difficulties getting in the ground, wasn't there?

We had a few reports back, you know?
