This one:

Remembered like yesterday, Hector being flattened by Tubby Lawrenece as he scored the Third.

I was on the ledge at the back of the Ossie End :

A great day to be a Ram.

If only we were as quarter as good as that side now 🥲

Anyone expect more than 1 min injury for the first half. All the bookings and stoppages?

The Ref added them on at the end of the second half instead. 

Referee aside (who i still think cost us 2 points today)

I will look at our performance IMHO.

This was only my 3rd game of the season live for a variety of issues.

Pros:

1. We do create a decent amount of chances particularly from the wide right positions.

2. Defence is relatively solid, divvi header aside Cash was MOM for me, just infront of NML. Wildsmith good, Nelson also

3. From a tatics pov Warne's substitutions, make sense in timing and position to change the game in our favour (more of that in cons).

Cons:

1. No centre forward quick enough to be on the end of some very dangerous positions. Hope we can keep TJJ until May as this might solve the problem.

2. We can't deliver a ball out of defence effectively or quickly enough and we are static pins for recieving, if the opposition close you down, you need to move a bit more to make your self available for the ball.

3.Warnes subs are ok if you have the right players, we still don't have the players to play 3-5-2.

4. We need to play the game Wycombe were showing us how to do it at every opportunity, we're too nice and instead of playing the same we just got angry.

We should have buried Wycombe Yesterday.

Blowing the whistle directly after they score the pen? Surely some more time needed adding on for that?! Topped off one of the worst refereeing performances I've seen here recently.

Gutted.

I have git say having watched probably watched well over 1500 professional football matches and played in over 100 non-league games to a reasonable standard, it was the worst one i have ever seen.

Her only control was to resort to a card, always the sign of a poor referee, and can't understand why she could not see what 25000 people in the cround could see.

When you see players high 5ing when 30 seconds before they were rolling around like they had been shot.

I was also told, that the great Burt Bacharach, reluctantly changed the title of his classic "Do you know the way to San JOse" from "Do you live alone in Cotmanhay"

Of course the singer also changed her name by deed poll from Dionne Wardwick.

No direct memory, although I would have been there.
I only know the answer thanks to Google, so I won't spoil it for others... suffice to add a little clue, if I may... I presume there was a certain away kit on show that has often and repeatedly been described as "The worst away football kit in the history of away football kits"!  🤮🤣

 

 

 

 

Coventry at Home NYD 1978, i think they played in all Red as memory serves me, if you are referring to their Admiral all brown kit (YUK), I think that was the season after, seem to recall Ian Wallace wearing it just before he moved to the Red Dogs!!! It went well with his complexion!!!!

For you young uns google him.

What was the formation in this game? Simpson, Gabbiadini, McMinn, Kitson and Johnson ALL started?!

I think it was 4-3-3, with Super Ted (RHS) and Simmo (LHS) playing wide of the Middle 3. and Jossy playing as an Anchor

Arthur used to play the front three (Kitson, Gabbiadini, Johnson) regularly with Simmo starting so the odd man out is Ted.

It was a very attacking structure.

I think the season after we had something like 5or 6 players reaching double figures in all games and averaged more than two goals again.

121. Year, opponents and memories. 2-1 home win, important game.

Think this maybe the second leg of the play-off semi-final in 1992 against Blackburn. Only because of the Andy Comyn goal and you referring to an important game.

Was limping around for this one has i had been kicked by a Police Horse in Blackburn at the first leg when we got Speedided.

Be interesting to see what Wilder does at Shef Utd for two reasons . Firstly the 11 point total . Also , he has been touted for the Rams job a couple of times . Is he that good or did he just take advantage of the solid foundations Nigel laid with young players like Harry Maguire ? Wouldn’t be the first manager to take advantage of Clough’s hard work.

Maguire is probably not the best example of Nigel developing good youngsters as he'd already played over 100 First team games and had two full seasons in the first team.

Strange how one's memory plays tricks on you. I could have sworn it was the last game, or perhaps after that thrashing I just can't remember any other games that season 😂

We thrashed Southampton (6-2) a month later to slightly address the balance before the inevitable relegation.

A game notable for a certain Mr A Shearer playing and his only contribution being trying to continually remove the shirt from Mark Wright's back. Which considering that he was in Wright's pocket all afternoon wasn't a difficult task really.

Jossy also scored a hat-trick.

111.. Year, opponents and memories. 3-0 home win, goals not necessarily in the correct order. 

European Cup v Slovan Bratislava, didnt go as i was on a Family Holiday to spain 1975.

Believe the win set up the next tie v Real Madrid!!! (went to both those games though)

Thanks for the great memories Tel.

I was only watching the run back from our thrashing of QPR from Admiras quiz the other day and wondered what he was up to.

Another footballer with max talent, i once watched a feature of him when he was playing doing 500 keepy uppy's without the ball hitting the ground.

Class player who was worth more than two caps as a player, but unfortunately the competition was too fierce at the time.

So thanks for the punditry,(always interesting) , the development of talent,superb crooning (google it) and most of all the thrill ride that was Euro 1996.

Oh and thanks for Hazell, the man was soooo Talented, he is probably coaching ST Peter to do his job better.

RIP Terry Venables.

Sheffield united away. FA Cup. Possibly 85. One of my favourite away days, along with the league game at the same place. The away end was soooooo full for both games, when we scored it was impossible to stay in the same place. It was like a tsunami moving everyone around.

January 1986, arrived in Sheffield a little worst for wear our designated driver parked in St marys church car park within a stones throw of the away end.

Managed to get into the ground just as the match kicked off, rare for those days some of our crew has seat tickets, others had standing tickets, i had aquired a seat ticket, the away end was in full song c8000 Derby fans chanting Arthur Cox's Black and White army the noise was near on deafening. The match progressed the Rams were playing better than their oppositon a full division above them.

The Blades breakaway with 10 minutes or so and the now Roy Hodgson sidekick, Ray Lewington places a scruffy shot past Mark Wallington into the goal. The 8000 are silenced briefly, the flag goes up for offside and it is disallowed, Cacophony in the away end is resumed with a greater volume than before the annulment. 

A furher 10-15 minutes go by, Derby are still in the ascendency, we get a corner, it is swung over by Jeff Chandler?, Captain Marvel rises a above the United defence and buries his header into the back of the net.

Derby fans are in raptures, the match sort of peters out with Derby holding the Blades quite comfortably, the final whistle blows and the super rams are in the Fifth Round.

Coming out of the ground the atmosphere is a little hostile with the natives unhappy that their own (obviously offside) goal was disallowed and the FA cup adventures curtailed for another year.

We embark in our vehicle to head back into the God's county and decide to have a few refreshment stops on the way home, much singing and dancing in Chesterfield, Clay Cross, Shirland, Ofton and Marehay.

i get dropped off at home c 8pm, it is cold evening and the frost is spreading it's silvery sparkly fingers over the lawn and driveway around the house.

i suddenly click that i  was supposed to be taking my new very attractive girlfriend out for the night, i had forgot completely with the euphoria of victory celebrations and the intense alcholic haze.

I smelt strongly of man sweat and stale bitter etc. so i had 30 minutes to run a bath and make myself presentable for the said young lady who was to arrive in our Taxi at 8.30pm and then onto Derby for a night of Dancing and more alcohol.

Got in the bath and the next thing i know i wake up with a cold shock, it is pitch black and the water of my once steaming bath is tepid.

With pounding head i get gingerly out and start to dry myself and get myself warm.

i look at the clock it is 3am, suddenly in blind panic i realise that i had a date 6 hours plus before.

i search the house vainly expecting the said young lady to be there instead i find the inevitable Dear John letter on the mantlepiece.

i know it is Brentford away in 1985, as it is the only time i had been to Griffin Park, but not sure if it has a particular significance or not. May be Rob Hindmarch's first goals?
