Post Match Carlisle United 2 Leicester City 5

We can rectify that, Boc....

What a game! What a team! It's got the lot... Lineker, Lynex, Melrose, May, Peake, Wilson, Jock Wallace, someone smoking in the dugout, Wallington getting clattered, Youngy getting knocked spark out but carrying on...

I wasn't there, but I remember exactly where I was that day. I was nine and on a Young Ornithologists' Club trip to the Ouse Washes in Cambridgeshire. We listened to the second half in the coach on the way home. Ah, memories...

 

[EMC Fox]

wasn't it the 6th round (1/4 Final)? 3rd round Southampton, 4th round Hereford? 5th round Watford... ?

 

[DesertFox]

It was indeed (as someone correctly points out in the Youtube comments).

Oh good.. thought I was going loopy (probably am). I was there in the family enclosure standing in front of the old main stand, never seen anything like that game since.

 

[DesertFox]

I can just imagine Jock Wallace's comments to Youngy when he's examining his head... "looks all right to me son, get back oot there!"

 

[homer]

Wonderful stuff. Changed me from a normal(ish) football loving teenager into a City obsessed nutcase, that game did

Bastards

That's where I would have been had I not been out birdwatching!

I watch that video and think to myself that Ben Marshall can, quite frankly, **** off in his Bentley. It really is a different game now, isn't it? :icon_cry:

I was in the East Stand that day. It was the only game where I've run on the pitch after the game. It was the most bonkers game I've ever seen.

I had the whole game on VHS. It was broadcast live.

My copy is on Betamax (those were the days my friend).

 

[Jeff]

It was broadcast live.

Really?

I didn't realise there were any live games in those days, apart from the final.

Ah yes, Betamax. The Howard Wilkinson of the video tape world.

Your son should never be spoken to again, ever.

And you should set a thirty mile exclusion zone around your house

It must have been live. I don't know how else I would have got the whole game. I was at the game so it must have been a timed recording and it had scraps of other programmes before and after as things did then.

Can't remember that at all.
It wasn't until a couple of years later that they started showing league games live.
Was it a 3PM kick off?
It's surprising they picked our game when the other three semis all looked more attractive for TV.

Totally agree - I also ran on the pitch from the Main Stand Enclosure...

A copper helped me up as I fell back with the excitement...

Those were the days...

Defintely a 3pm kick-off...

We had by far the easiest draw though I can't remember who the other beaten qtr finalists were... Spurs, QPR and West Brom won I think...

Semi-finals must have meant something different back then.

Semi-finals must have meant something different back then.

If you were at the match you would have had a semi at least.
