FA Cup R5 Draw | Peterborough (A)

[chaddblue]

MOTD highlights from the '81 game. Starts around 24:20, goal at 34:50

14 mins of action and about 1 min of waffle

It would be 50/50 these days having to listen to the same old shite off Danny Murphy or some other 2nd rate ex player

Visited them a few times on the early 90s, the only time I went to the town. I was supposed to learn off them and apply it at a well known manufacturer in the west mids. No hope of that, they were beyond help.

We maybe 'work related' mate, I worked for a major fastener distributor in the WM in the 90's...

I was just research those days, and did not stay in the industry once complete due to location restrictions.

Cardiff City beat them 4-0 yesterday.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Anyone know if the date for this game has been confirmed yet?

Waiting for the ITV, BBC and Sky to stop fighting over which broadcaster is going to have the rags game on......

 

[Big Swifty]

I was at the Posh cup-tie in 1981, and strangely enough, the only thing I can remember about it was being in a mass of City fans behind the goal and someone kept holding up a large model of Bob Carolgees's Spit the Dog.
The fans would chant "Spit the Dog" incessantly.

Have I imagined it, or does anyone else who was there remember it? (It's worrying me)

My mates son was playing for them last season but got punted to Accrington this season as he fell out with the manager

Sorry if posted elsewhere
How many tickets for this ?

Not confirmed yet but as capacity is 15,000, we’ll presumably get around 2,000 based on the 15% requirement.
It’s been pointed out that QPR had 3,000 tickets in the fourth round but I’d be surprised if that’s the case for us.

Spot on. And the great Barry Davies on comms too.

Thanks pal

Yes, a fine commentator. The present ones could learn a lot from him, if they tried.

He knew when to keep quiet, instead of the ones who chatter on endlessly, spouting endless trivia and well-rehearsed statistics, until one's ears are aching with the droning.

Identify the players, fine, but learn when to let us watch the play uninterrupted. Barry D knew how to do this.

Absolutely right. The greats of yesteryear appreciated the fact that the game was the star not them. Today they’re all out to show how knowledgeable/ witty they are …. a “Listen to me aren’t I great” kind of vibe.

I also hate the way they pander to the egos of the co commentator. Which leads me on to a whole new point ….. why do we need co comms and the irritating “bantz” that ensues ??

Just look at his face

 

[berryblue]

Son of Baconface being the manager is another excuse to give them a good slappin!

 

[Yankunian]

Just look at his face

his commentary on the 5-1 Charlton game is one of the best pieces of commentary on a game ever

“He’s loving every minute of it now”

Plus my favourite
“Get off the field” ‘says Billy McNeil to the spectators’

Ye sure he did
Must have watched the re run of that over 1000 times !!!!!
probably quote most of commentary
