Yes, I remember it being FA Cup third round day. It was the day West Ham played mighty Emley AFC at Upton Park and scraped a 2-1 win. That may have been a better game for you to have gone to.

Lawro's goal was amazing but I also remember the last 10-15 minutes when we absolutely battered their goal but just couldn't get an equaliser, their keeper producing worldies etc. Sounds strange, but it was such a good game I didn't mind that much we'd lost - after all, that season was all about...

I'm just waiting for someone to say Japan v South Africa... Oh, they already have. Did anyone attend the Olympics match at the Goldstone in 1948 between Afghanistan and Luxembourg?* (*this did actually happen).

I was watching the footage from that yesterday and re-reading the reports. Even looked at the comments on the match thread on the Man City forum (how sad am I...). That was probably the best individual display by a Brighton team. We were superb, scored the official 'goal of the season', and...

The Amex - 4-0 v United. The Goldstone - Sheff Weds 3-2 to win promotion, although one of the actual best games I remember was a defeat - 2-3 against Wolves in the FA Cup in the snow.

Did the same, Macclesfield away (1998?). Got the train up and headed to the ground early. Thought it was a bit quiet, but hey it's Macclesfield Town (ave attendance 2,000). Only when I actually got to the turnstiles did I find out it was postponed. Waterlogged pitch - the only match off in the...

Friends did similar with a hotel booking for a wedding. Booked a year in advance, turned up and had nowhere to stay.

Without checking, I think they were from some Scottish club. The system was called 'drench lighting'.

No, first time I'd seen it too - think it was only posted up fairly recently.

Never seen this Big Match footage before of the 'Brighton Brawl'. Two sendings off (one for Ron Harris), five bookings (unheard of then - these days there'd be 4 or 5 reds judging by some of the tackles!). Commentator was Jimmy Hill - who also does the post-match analysis of the 'disgraceful'...

Weird thing about that decision. We're told it can't go to VAR because the ref had already whistled when the lino's flag went up. Yet a few seasons ago, Man Utd were awarded a penalty at the Amex by VAR after the ref had whistled for full-time. Make it make sense.

What a ****! What is he saying?

Gosh, this thread really does define the age demographic of NSC!

I am the mayor of No-ville, Arizona.

That was a pen wasnt it? Bizarre there was only 4 mins added.

I always thought this was one of the best TV themes ever.

Good idea, that.

As Tom Hark says, definitely an early 80s feel, which I love. Apart from that and the obvious New Order reference, I'm also getting bands like Delphic and Nation of Language. I don't think it feels particularly 'artificial' - and if it does, that's kinda the sound a lot of those bands were...

Useful advice, thanks. I also want to ask them about damp - which may be another potential issue.

One of my boyhood heroes. What a double act him and Wardy were! So sad. Rest in peace, Spider.
