Yes they got relegated that day but even if they'd beaten us they would still have gone down because other teams around them got points.<br /><br />-- Sun Jun 12, 2011 8:52 am --<br /><br />bennyboy said:Whats the story behind that game.Some rags say we did not relegate them that day.Did they get relegated that day or not.
He's a dirty Rag like the rest of them! If we could only change history and have had Mike Doyle score that goal instead - a proper blue - not like that red **** Law!bluealf said:Denis the rag Law = wanker anyways.
He has been quoted as saying that was the worst moment of his life, fucking shitbag played for us first as well.
Cant stand him at all, when ever he was used for a bit of punditry he never had a good word to say about us in the 80's/90's

No but pretty much nailed it on the head.
bluemanc said:Our game ended before any of the others it was called off because of the crowd invasions, so the other results didn't matter because they were already down.
OR
The ref waited for the other games to end THEN called ours off while he was in his dressing room,i've yet to see any concrete proof of this.

So was i,no one told us we had the paddock and not the scoreboard,it was bedlam when Law scored,the fighting started in the k stand seats & that was the start of everything.black mamba said:bluemanc said:Our game ended before any of the others it was called off because of the crowd invasions, so the other results didn't matter because they were already down.

I was actually at that game at Old Trafford ... i was only about 17 years old at the time , and it was a bit nerve wracking to see so many yobs coming our way , and climbin' the fences ..... it didn't half kick off in the Scoreboard paddock!
The cops , quite frankly , didn't have a clue .... they were out-numbered and made a half-hearted attempt to stop the invading rags , then just gave up an' just stood on the halfway line!

The game result was announced on the Tannoy,the fa didn't rule on it not at the time or weeks later as would have the case now.lancs blue said:bluemanc said:Our game ended before any of the others it was called off because of the crowd invasions, so the other results didn't matter because they were already down.

OR because of the abandonment the result didn't officially stand until the FA ruled on it later.
