I went to the away semi at Anfield and remember Gary Buckley absolutely roasting the Liverpool defence….he never really got a chance again after that.I went to most of the games. All at home. A lot away. Liverpool league cup semi final away in 1981 was interesting.
Same reason Milner wasn’t sent off last monthI went to the away semi at Anfield and remember Gary Buckley absolutely roasting the Liverpool defence….he never really got a chance again after that.
What was the reason that the Reeves goal was disallowed for at Maine Road….watched the highlights on you tube and still cannot see a reason why.
It stands in my mind alongside the non penalty given at the swamp against Frontzeck. A staggeringly wrong decision. Apparently, the goal was disallowed because of a foul on the goaiie but it never, ever was a foul.I went to the away semi at Anfield and remember Gary Buckley absolutely roasting the Liverpool defence….he never really got a chance again after that.

Unless I'm mistaking it for another incident, I'm sure the referee said after that it was disallowed for "illegal jumping". there was of course no such rule or offence.I went to the away semi at Anfield and remember Gary Buckley absolutely roasting the Liverpool defence….he never really got a chance again after that.

I was only 12 at the time and maybe someone can clarify but I have a recollection of Granada Reports doing a bit of investigative work (might've been that rag Anthony Wilson although I could be mistaken) in the wake of Bond's resignation and I think his alleged extra-curricular activities took them to a flat above a shop in Heaton Chapel near St Thomas's church and school. As I lived just a few minutes walk away from there at the time, I remember some of us discussing it at school the next day.There was an incident about some blues spitting at him or at least giving him dogs abuse after we got beat 4-0 at Brighton and he resigned after that. There were also the rumours that he would abandon the paperwork for a bit of "afternoon delight".

We were so unlucky (ripped off) in that whole tie, playing without Hutch, Gerry and Bobby, the lads who played couldn’t have given more, the second leg was 1-1, and I’m sure it was maybe Dave Bennett who hit the bar ? which, had it gone in, would have been absolutely deserved, and as BlueGaz mentioned, Gary Buckley was brilliant, nothing too fancy, just good old fashioned, direct wing play.It stands in my mind alongside the non penalty given at the swamp against Frontzeck.

I still remember to this day, the Kippax and the club was absolutely buzzing that night and after just 5 minutes someone floated a cross towards the edge of the area and Clemence simply made a mistake and came for a ball he couldn't get and Reeves beat him to it and scored. As I understand it there were no protests by Liverpool. We went absolutely mad celebrating and it was only a minute or two later we realised it had been disallowed. Liverpool sort of held us at arms length after that but that early goal would obviously have made a big difference.
