Diego_Sideburns Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Cannot forget this goal that got away on 28.12.74. Thankfully Maurice Whittle won the game with a pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapegoat Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Not sure I would describe the Wembley draw as injustice. Heart breaking, yes. But where was the injustice? Amount of time added on maybe but don't remember thinking it was anything like the Fergie time against Wednesday the following season. I still feel more upset that Sharp put an easy chance to win it agonisingly wide. As for the PL. Every other club had eventually voted yes, Stott held out until the end when it was a done deal and not signing would have effectively relegated us.

I still feel more upset that Sharp put an easy chance to win it agonisingly wide. I'd call it an injustice. 1-0 up with seconds left.... having been comfortable all day, never really looking like conceding..... and - as you point out - having missed a gilt edged chance to go 2-0 up.... it's a f#ckin travesty.

astottie Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 The bottled challenge was from Schmeichel. yep he scared the :censored: out of him. he might have been the first in England but he certainly wasn't the last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) Latics lost 1-0 to a McClair goal in the 85th minute. Then came the wrongly disallowed equaliser, with Reds laughing at us. One of several injustices suffered at their hands! Was it the first FA cup semi final when the ball was clearly over the line against them. Happened about 20 years earlier too. I seem to remember a Ronnie Blair header hitting the back net stanchion and rebounding out, but not given.

It was the first semi-final replay when TV replays confirmed Nick Henry's 'goal'. The ref was Joe Worrall, alleged to have been a United season ticket holder. For Ronnie Blair's 'goal' - see picture in post #26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyGortonsMatches Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Trying to remember why I didn't get a ticket for the Old Trafford game that season and I think it was because season ticket holders could either use their voucher for Anfield or Old Trafford is that right? I remember watching us at Anfield but I think we only got around 3000 for each fixture. Secured Anfield tickets (my stub below !) after a 12 hour queue overnight on Sheepfoot Lane - We all took it in turns to go back to the cars for 1 hour kips . There were even sofa's and armchairs in the queue ! The banter amongst the couple of thousand 'tics that night/morning was incredible - residents were probably fuming. Seem to recall the OT allocation didn't sell out initially, so allowed Anfield attendees to quckly snap up, meaning I got to both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We was first in Q for ST and Liverpool / Utd tickets, had seats and battery powered tv! It was easy to get tickets for both Liverpool / Utd games .... you handed over your cash and voucher A to the ticket office, they handed you a ticket and a voucher A!!!

stargazer Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 In the 2-0 League Cup defeat , we were losing one nil after a couple of minutes. I recall the useless new full back we paid a fortune for being subbed after a shot went for a throw in. I went to this game instead of seeing Nirvana at the Academy .......wrong choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookersstandandy Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) Yeah the plot got lost wiv the McDonald's snowdins Brennans of the world. Slowed us right downGlynn Snodin was ace.... and was only on loan as cover for Barlow before we signed Pointon.... Ian Snodin came much later - he was signed by Sharp/Harvey. Brennan was good too.... not an out and out winger like Holden, but perfectly good enough for top division football. McDonald was poor and a waste of money for £500k, but there was no reason to think he wouldn't have been OK - albeit it was he who messed up a back pass while playing for Everton in one of the FA Cup ties during the pinch me season that allowed Palmer to nip the ball through Neville Southall's legs. What made us inferior to earlier years was replacing Barrett with Redmond, losing Redfearn because of Milligan coming back and then ending up with Lee Richardson selling Marshall and ending up Sean McCarthy. Don't get me wrong however, I liked Redmond, Richardson & McCarthy, they just weren't as good as what went before.

OAFCinWolves Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 No joe took all the pace out of the team decided we couldn't play with 2 wingers and these players were past their best or not good enough. I know with hindsight we would would of all kept redfearn but there were a lot of better players who suited our play got transfered for the same money we paid for Sharp milligan Brennan Mcdonald kilkline etc...I think we had better players at the club but joe wanted to win 1 0 rather than 4 3 towards the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookersstandandy Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 In hindsight.... we should've played Redfearn where he wanted at centre mid and either not resigned Milligan, or moved Henry aside... and played Marshall up front instead of signing Olney. If I could build a time machine..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyt84 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Marshall and Olney up front would have been some strike force. People forget as well Ritchie was injured much of our top flight time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookersstandandy Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I learned this weekend, that the Football League were offered 20% of all Premier League TV revenues in/around the year 2000.... which they turned down - presumably after putting a vote to the clubs - to independently pursue the then failed deal with ONDigital/itvdigital. What a monumental catastrophe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amount of time added on maybe but don't remember thinking it was anything like the Fergie time against Wednesday the following season. There was an offside in the build up to that equaliser, can't remember who it was now but under the old offside rule it should have been disallowed (and no amount of video evidence or contrary memories will ever convince me otherwise.) I still remember being interviewed by GMR or piccadilly radio or someone outside Maine Rd before the replay and mentioning it then, surprisingly I was edited out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was more miffed with Sharp's howler and big Joe for not putting Stitch on to kill the last minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
