That paint the penalty spot incident was actually at The Baseball Ground in April 1977 when City were going very strong to win the First Division title.Yeah when I was a lad they were all like that - see old pics of the Baseball Ground and the City Ground - after 3 games into the season they were a swamp covered in sand looking like a beach - mind you Cloughie managed both teams in this era and managed to get a tune out of them

The City Ground - older fans like me remember this game when Big Joe got them to measure out and repaint the penalty spot on the sand

Hope you don't mind me being nosey here. That's your first post, after 10 years on here. Any particular reason why you haven't played a fuller part on the forum?
I’m absolutely convinced there was a point in that match when Bernardo was so angry with the Ref he would have twatted him and accepted the red had we not already been down to 10.
The HT whistle came at a good time to be fair. Bernie was going nuts. Even in the second half the ref gave Fulham a free kick and Bernardo gave him a sarcastic "well done" tap on the back.I’m absolutely convinced there was a point in that match when Bernardo was so angry with the Ref he would have twatted him and accepted the red had we not already been down to 10.
