Don't think it was live. All weekend games were 3 pm on Saturdays back then. Motd that night and The Big Match on Sunday. It was a big deal when the Cup Final came around as it was shown live but the build up began about 7 in the morning!

My worst ever day as an Evertonian. 0-3 down at half time. I was in the Street end. Sickening.

Did a search and didn't find thread for this year. Mods pl remove if already one extant. Today Div 3 Final Offaly 2-17 Kildare 1-18 Kildare had three times the population of Offaly but can't seem to get a consistent squad together Next up Kerry v Mayo in League 1 Final. Should be 😋 tasty.

The rs team in their first match a friendly v Rotherham 1 Sept 1892 was entirely Scots. Manager John McKenna was an Orange Man like his Chair Houlding. Everton 's regular first team was 6 English and 5 Scottish. We signed our first Irish player in 1898, John (Jack Kirwan), a former GAA player...

Mrs BR bringing me to the Arsenal game for my 60th Don't forget the feast of St Gwladys (5th c Welsh saint) this Saturday 29th :cool:

I was at Lansdowne when Nev jumped for a ball and landed in a divot on a terrible surface. Did it make a difference? On the face of it of course, because he was the best in the world at that time but as someone posted earlier , Bobby did well when he came in. It was a sickener to be runners up...

Saturday 29 March is the feast of St Gwladys, a 5th/6th century Welsh saint. I must honour the day appropriately,🙂

Saw him a good bit and gutted by his injury in 84/85.... Marwood 😡 Always liked him.

I think that's Stevenson beside Peter and unsure abouyt the player on the right - possibly Hedley?? The first non-British team to beat England on home soil - at Goodison Park 21 September 1949. Peter Farrell second from right front row. Peter Corr, uncle of the Corrs also played...

RTE gave him 7, two got 8 and two others got 7 the rest got 6, not counting subs. Didn't see the match as we were at Der Fliegende Höllander although we passed under the West Stand going to and from the Theatre. It would have been HT when we were going back. Back home and heading to bed. I...

They're OK but I started following in 1969, so its all white for me Degsy - would love to go back to the round white collar too!

Jazzy, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. My own dear Mum passed in 2021, four years after being diagnosed with vascular dementia. Dad passed in 2008 - 94 and 88 years old, and DG both passed peacefully without any distress. Mam avoided Covid which was also a great...

Best wishes to you and your loved ones Jazzy. Serious illness is a huge challenge for everyone who loves the patient.

Monty Python: Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o’clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, (pause for laughter), eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad would kill...

Just cooked two smoked coley fillets on. Very nice and very clean. Must start using it. RIP George I admire what you achieved in your life from very a tough beginning.
