"Watch Classic Matches Again"

[Dario Terracotta]

I love this thread. Well remembered hullefc mate, there was unadulterated joy at half time, never saw defeat coming at all at that point. Just a few minutes into the second half and it was like a knife through the heart. You just knew instantly was was going to be a game of two halves! Had traveled in car with blues only so we consoled each other but I made a holy show of myself by crying all the way home. I had been threatened with being banned from school sports if I went to the match by the head of PE because it meant missing a school team game. First year secondary by the way, nothing fixture but for whatever reason he wanted to make an example of me. Had to go to see him on the Monday and face the RS majority. Got well and truly bashed up! Got my own back when they lost to Arsenal and got bashed up again!!!!

Just like the semi in 2012 at Wembley eh?doh

Exactly! I lost it a little bit at Wembley that day with DM in particular because I had waited so long for a little payback for the pain of 71. Was so gutted he did not believe in his own team enough to send them out with more self belief to go on and dominate and win. Can still hear the RS crowing from both games !! Not identical situation of course but still snatched defeat from the jaws of victory versus that shower with whole world looking on. Grrrr. Should be immune by now.

I know mate,its happened so,so often in my lifetime,big,big games against them we have seemingly had under control and something really strange/bizarre occurs and turns it their bloody way,could drive you nuts if you thought too much about it.

Called the Baseball ground,I think, it always seemed to be a bit of a pudding type of pitch, thinking about it.

Looks as bad as the Baseball ground of the 70s imagine the weight of the ball that day!

Think they were called Snitch and Snatch at the time, sorry mate.

Still two great blues players Lyons snatched a load of goals and Darracott was a great tackler snitching the ball away from the winger!
