Where was this. Remember seeing a video from a pub in Belfast where everyone goes mad, Bears and Chelsea I would imagine. However one rag is at the bar, he looks like his world has ended.
I don't normally , football has been my life for 60 years but their where games back in the day were getting back in one piece was a result in itself. Aware we drew Brentford but thread had drifted on to that dreadful day at Cardiff.
A different era, but a very scary day at Cardiff cup tie. Blues being attacked everywhere but post match Carfiff came to the coach park and got smacked senseless. Welsh Dippers and rags who turned up for a fight found they had stepped out of their league and found not all City fans were easy...
I remember for the cup tie at Vale Park early 90s (?) It was said we had not played them in a competitive fixture. In the late 90s we played them several times at 2nd level. In 98 99 they were a division above us.
Yeah I had one of those scarves. Thought I looked the dogs bollocks in it but alas lost long ago. Still have my blue , white and maroon bar scarf from 1970.
Would like to nominate two FA cup quarter finals Liverpool, late 80s I think. After seeing off Plymouth in the 5th round had convinced myself it could be our year. Once we drew the dippers I felt pessimistic but hoped for an upset. Hammered 4 0 and victims of some dubious refereeing.
The Spurs...
When they won the league in 2013 we beat them at the swamp a couple of weeks before the end of the season,made no difference, neither did that.
Cup final 2024 biggest disappointment 2023 cup final every wish since childhood fulfilled. Rags utterly humiliated, never forget them going up for there...
People respected by both sides, Brian Kidd is the obvious example. In boxing I know many blues myself included who cheer Tyson Fury. He's a red but a proud Manc and great boxer go the gypsy king.
At my 21 year old nieces funeral my other nieces husband wore a City shirt carrying the coffin in spite of being a huge United fan. I remarked on it and he said he would do anything for Emily. I asked what if she'd been a Liverpool fan, he said no, their are limits. A rare moment of humour on a...
Wasn't there in 88 but the 81 quarter final at Goodison and the league cup semi at Anfield the same year was the worse violence I have ever seen. Scousers happy to use blades at thee time while Mancs fought with fists and boots. You can be as game as f**k but anyone thinks twice about being...
