Derby v City 3/12/77 Cheated out of a point?

[Big mals fedora]

I was there and we all thought it was a draw. Until the tannoy explained that the little Hitler prick Thomas had blown as the ball was going in.
Gave me my first real taste of injustice

Me too!!

Remember that prize twat Anthony Wilson laughing about it on Granada Reports. I thought at the time you silly f****r you work in Manchester you have just painted a target on your back. One of the most outrageous injury time decisions we have ever suffered along with yesterday and Bournemouth 3 3 in the Bradford promotion season.

Not forgetting the michael owen winner at the swamp in 2009

Saw this the other day & my opinion the ref was wound up all game by Hartford & so took retribution by cheating us out of the equaliser, Cancelled out Tueart's 'injury' time goal by saying he blew for full time a split second before, according to Tony Book the ref played 20 secs of injury time, what a .... Did he ever ref a City Match again? Derek Civil? Edit. He did...

Derby County v Manchester City 1977/78 – City Til I Die

Hardly seemed the most civil of men.

We had a relatively poor season 77/78. Never matched the 76/77 heights.

Remember Dennis Tuearts gii is al and it been chalked off.
Didn’t we all get onto the pitch , mainly sand, at the end of game for a rumble ?
Then I think the terrace houses caught a few bricks as well on way out.

And I thought I could carry a grudge. I have been beaten hands down by this thread :-)

Almost worse than the Scum goal last season. Not quite but close

We were in the home end as we'd got there late and just run to the nearest turnstiles. It was bad enough being surrounded by cheering Derby fans for both goals, then suffered again when they announced our 'equaliser' had been awarded. - It got worse as there was a parking ticket on the car when we returned.

It felt like a poor season but it was our highest finish until 3rd in 2011, a mere 33 years later.

Late on in the game the ball went into a stand full of Derby supporters who kept hold of it for fully two minutes before throwing it back on the pitch. The bent ref added just a few seconds injury time on, just enough to deny City an equaliser.
