I was 11 at the time and that was my first genuine taste of disappointment. To this day i'm still annoyed about it. Best chance of seeing us in the FA Cup final by a long way and we blew it 8 hours ago, Van der MoodHoover said: felt the same against Plymouth in 1984........we could have taken Watford in the semi......? Same as the United one back in 76, we'd have smashed Southampton in the final that year. My avatar would have been Bruce Rioch holding the cup ffs.

I keep saying it, if it wasn’t for Steve Cherry there wouldn’t have been a replay in the first place. He single handedly kept them at bay at Home Park. Let’s not forget how awful we were in both games! Peter Taylor subbing off Bobby though when we needed a goal-I am a tad bitter about that still! As for the thread, bitterness has been confused a lot with disappointment I think. However, I am with all those who are still bitter about Liverpool robbing me of the chance to see Derby in Europe. Who knows what might have happened. It still irritates me. And the semi final offside decision. Terrible. And Juventus. Cheating bunch of tossers. Why do so many parents allow their children to stroll around in Juventus tops? And Pat Van der Hauwe for his tackle on McMinn. At least Gerry Gow chose someone who wasn’t very good to maim. Now I have got started I don’t think I can stop!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-Ram Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I know (or knew) Steve Emery pretty well. That Gow tackle not only finished a promising football career, it impacted his general mobility significantly. Horrible tackle, by a horrible Bamford.

Tbf we played poorly as a team. Wasn’t down to 1 player that we lost. but it was a dark period in our history and it just felt like a big chance blown when confidence in our ability to improve was low. 76 was disappointing - but I remember thinking at the time it didn’t matter cos we’d do it next season. There was no suggestion we were about to hit such a steep spiral of decline that would take us so low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that full history though, or over the past 40 odd years? (My post being in response to @BaaLocks', and his reference to being "fortunate enough - just - to see the glory years" and him referring to the "under performing" since.) Sorry for the late reply.

Far too much to be bitter about but in modern times Martins sending off really riles me. 1. It was a penalty. Martins standing foot was taken, no drama, no diving, no appeal, straight forward foul and stonewall penalty. 2. Hendrick smashed the ball into the goal before the ref had given the decision so it even took the pressure off him, he didn't have to give the penalty, could just of let the goal stand. 3. The ref was a Bamford. 4. We would have beaten Burnley to automatic promotion that year and gone up with a midfield of Bryson, Hughes, Hendrick....we had a solid framework of good young players, a couple of intelligent signings would have seen us thrive and establish in the Prem. 5. The ref was a Bamford. About a minute in. Although I don't believe the ref cheated, i still believe he allowed Martins reputation to influence him in that game, subconsciously maybe. Would be interesting if that happened today with VAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that to this day their fans are trying to justify it. Although at the same time I will confess to being slightly envious of how Leeds fans rally behind their club and defend it so passionately rightly or wrongly when outsiders are attack it. Still bitter though. Still catch myself shaking my head how low they stooped. Recent convert to Derby are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 The performance by my team at home to also relegated Reading on the final home game of the infamous premier league season. I could take being outperformed, thrashes and beaten by so many good teams, there was at least some semblance of effort but in that final game the team just didn't bother, already on the beach I think most of them.

Seth's left foot Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Brian Clough leaving, it obviously hit us twice after what he did down the road. It would’ve been great to have beaten Juventus and won the European Cup but we’d have probably lost in the final ? The 11 point season, what a waste of my ST money and the ensuing ridiculing.
