Alf Grey - payback time

Nailed on the ref for semis will be the one and only scouse loving cheating twat Peter Walton.... we will have 3 goals disallowed 2 players sent off and at Anfield we will score twice and they too will be disallowed..... after extra time and penalties he will make Caroll retake his penalty 14 times until he scores and they Walton will join in lap of honour with Dippers

I remember getting to Maine Rd with my Dad about 5 oclock(prob 7:30 kick off).
Massive queues outside the kippax cos it was pay on the gate!
Just before the gates opened it kicked off big.

Inside I stood at the front wall and when we all sang your a B@$tard Referee a copper grabbed me and was going to throw me out but my dad stepped in and reminded him that there was 40 odd thousand of us singing it.

GMP - spoiling football since 1981
 
I Remember this well,
Raining hard and Kevin Reeves goal disallowed for "ILLEGAL JUMPING" ffs what the hell does that mean? i still cant work it out now!
Ray Kennedy did score @ the Platt Lane and we lost the replay 2-1.

Replay? It was a two legged semi-final.
 
My car broke down on the way to Maine Road so never made it..... was watching the game on 'Sportsnight', not knowing the score, didn't want to know in advance and was just pacing the house trying not to think about the game actually being in process......
Reeves 'scored' and I went mental, jumping all over the place, ignoring my dad who was trying to tell me it had been disallowed....
Remember the commentator saying ''50 odd thousand in the ground and the only person not believing that was a goal is the ref''.

The reply was my 1st game at Anfield, aged 18 and wearing a scarf (no one on the coach told me not to!).
Gary Buckley played out of his skin, made the England full back (and future City caretaker manager) Phil Neal look a mug. Bennett hit the bar..... we silenced the Kop.... proud to be a Blue that night....
Got chased back to the coach which was promptly bricked as we turned the corner by the cemetery on the way out.

The cup game at Peterborough a few days later made up for it though. :)

Peterborough was a great day out. I remember it was a lovely sunny day, but bitterly cold and as you say, we were all packed like sardines.

4 Car loads of us went down and we all managed to blag our way into the Posh Social Club. They let us in only because we weren't wearing City scarves and one of my mates (now sadly no longer with us) was a respectable looking guy, much older than the rest of us, and he talked the doorman into it. The guy thought there were only 2 or 3 of us and suddenly over a dozen piled in past him. He saw the funny side of it and let us all in. We all had a good drink with the Home fans.

On the way back for we drove straight up the A1 to Leeds and for some reason stopped off at the pub we usually went in after the Leeds away games.
I never figured out why we didn't to go straight to Manchester. One of life's mysteries in watching City.
 
Peterborough away. Left the house with two shoes and returned with only one!! Pure mayhem when Tommy Booth scored. Everyone piling forward behind the goal, someone trod on my foot and one shoe became history. Very happy memories.
 
was at both legs of the Liverpool game.

As people have said, Kevin Reeves scored what was a perfectly good header. Ray Kennedy scored for them at the North Stand end from what I recall a highly dubious freekick and we lost 1-0.

Played them off the park at Anfield - and this was a great Liverpool team - ended 1-1, think we went one down and equalised, and remember Dave Bennett hitting the bar which would have put us through if he scored. Other thing I remember was City fans were brilliant that night, we had the standing in the corner of Anfield Road and some sitting in Kemlyn Road and totally outsang them. Kop was deathly quiet until 89th minute. Sticks in my mind as Joe Corrigan came over at the end to applaud us when it wasn't until years later that it became a regular thing for players to applaud fans.
