We owe Forest was at the Sunday game in the 70's , FA Cup they gave us a right drubbing 3-0 and Duncan McKenzie had a blinder , not sure but i think it was during the miners strikes and power cuts and , Sunday games were a rarity in those times , but it was a truly miserable day.

Were you an early leaver, it finished 4-1. Frank Carrodus scored for us in case you were wondering. ;-)

That was the time of the 3 day week. It was an early KO (by the standards of those days) - I think it was a 2pm - as the use of floodlights wasn't permitted. As you say, Sunday games didn't normally exist & everything was usually 3pm Saturday. I remember it well for all the wrong reasons. McKenzie was unplayable that day.

It was a while ago , but we did get tanked and the specifics do not make the memory any better, didnt McKenzie get a hat-trick , he was some player , seem to remember we ended up at the side of the pitch near the players tunnel , which part of the ground were you in.

Can't recall now whether he got 2 or 3.

With quite a few other Blues I was in the stand opposite where the players came out. There was a paddock in front of it filled with some of their nutters, who spent most of the match spitting and chucking stuff and trying to get past the cops to have a go at us. Happy days!
 
Klopp has purposefully played weakened teams season after season in the cups, in order to concentrate on the league ... and now Liverpool fans are complaining about the draws they get.

If they've failed year after year in the domestic cups (and they have) then the reason lies on their own doorstep.
