Happened a good few games at the start of 73/74 season.
did Summerbee, Bell, Lee, Law and Marsh ever get on the pitch at one time.. my dad thought so for about 30 mins.. i am not convinced we had four but not Marsh as well on at same time?
Presumably any prosecution, however unlikely, would be for the illegal setting off of flares and not to do with any notion of free speech.Sorry for the tangent, but does anybody know what this is about???
“Ross County say they are appalled by the behaviour of a small section of their fans during a minute's silence in Dingwall on Saturday.
Jeering and several flares were set off in the Jail End stand before County's home game against Livingston in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup.
The silence was held in tribute to former Scotland, Manchester United and Manchester City striker Denis Law and also Gordon Seaton, who played for County in the 1970s and 80s.
Ross County said they and the police are investigating the incident and prosecutions and bans from the stadium could follow.”
And, secondly, “prosecutions”??? Whaaaaat???
I may find abhorrent behavior abhorrent, but prosecutions???
Freedom is well and truly down towards the bottom of that slippery slope.
v Birmingham IIRCAnd a few others , the first home game 73/74 , the LView attachment 143760
Lawman scored 2 on his second debut in a 3-1 win
And then, thankfully, Sir Joe and Big Mal arrived.George Poyser as manager was the nadir. Standing on a desolate Scoreboard End watching us being held by Swindon in 1963 playing in Div2 with just over 8,000 other lost souls watching at Maine Road. We had more fun and positivity when in the third tier.
Yeah, I wrote in the match thread that it was a classy move by Ipswich.Thought it was good of Ipswich to have Denis in a City shirt as the most prominent of the figures on the screen for the tribute
