(I was too young to remember 1980).

Gone right off you after reading that.

The Intertoto Cup (and 2x play-off wins) is all I have FFS.

Sadly I remember us wining the Cup Winners Cup in 1965. I’m a very old person.

I thought you also remember us beating Preston NE in '64?
I do, and I'll not say sadly...

No I don’t remember that one. I was 9 in 1965 and allowed to stay up late to watch the match on tv. Bearing in mind it black & white tv only why on earth did they use a brown ball???

[Roofless Toothless]

In 1964 I was 15 years old. I had a little reel to reel tape recorder I used to record the pop chart programme on. I put the radio and the microphone under the carpet in my bedroom in case someone came in making a lot of noise!

I clearly recall recording the Preston cup final radio commentary like this, and listening to it again afterwards several times. In glorious recorded technicolour!

[sjc]

Was just typing that Scam has got the message about working hard ..
And he scores

Keeper

[Slowboathome]

Scamacca has looked like a proper striker since his first game for us.

Can't help but wonder where we'd be now if we'd played this midfield and attack (with Rice instead of Soucek) all season. They'd have had a chance to gel. Even in this one game you can see their understanding developing.

In fairness as a 58 year old ex keeper I’d look good in our midfield tonight with the amount of time they’re being given.

Thought harsh @ time but replay = red.

Class from Fornals.

Should be more than one up, thought theirs was onside FWIW.

[TCEvo]

Good start to the half.
