Never to the dark side Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Only two live games were allowed to be shown at the same time and on Sundays Central decided to cover the game on its own Arlick TV then said can we have the pictures as well? Jimmy greaves and John Sillett as pundits. Arlick TV had to wait till the Sunday 28 March 1993 to cover the 1-0 home win over Grimsby. Don't think the Grimsby region took the pictures Although Swindon also came under the Central region they were featured on Arlick TV as well before the Grimsby game After the 4-3 win I think Central viewers complained they should show two central teams in action against one another. Come on lets be havin you with your memories. AND yes I still have both games on video the DVD player was still four years away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Derby bringing on Andy Comyn to shore up the defence...……………… oops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikeysrobins Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Crazy game! Laurel and Hardy stuff! Yes Andy Comyn's (Laurel) own goal within seconds of coming on was a definite highlight. The look on his face said it all. And Steve Sutton's (Hardy) rugby tackle on Shelts! Derby did everything that could to throw the game away and did so. Lest we forget...

pikeysrobins Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Surely Comyn's own goal MUST be the fastest own goal after coming on as a sub EVER! He practically ran straight on and headed it in almost in one motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foghornred Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I was at that game and Derby totally outplayed us until Shelton was dragged down and a defender had to go into goal,got to feel sorry for Simpson who got a hat trick and was on the losing side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coxy27 Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 People moan about our defence now, but the absolute state of that offside trap for Derby's third goal, christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT The Optimist Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 And what about good old ‘Tangle Foot’ Wayne Allison. Great header and couple brilliant lay offs. It’s when you look back you appreciate what certain players were like. In today’s game he would be more than a few quid for sure. Cannot recall him ever returning to the gate in recent years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHRIDGE BCFC Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I was there that day, and can be seen on that video. Such a weird game! Fun and games outside as well as I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot recall him ever returning to the gate in recent years Twentyman interviewed him a few weeks back on ‘Sound of the City’. Quite funny, because the Chief’s recall of his City games, debut etc, was pretty awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I just fell off of my sofa in a fit of laughter...........i have never seen Comyn's own goal before, the incident itself is funny, but it's his expression afterwards that set me off. Bemused dumb embarassment is my best description? Did his career go ok subsequently i wonder?, poor bloke surely holds a record for it? & Brilliant to see one of my aii time favorite players set up the winner with a superb cross!

1960maaan Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Anyone have a couple of hours to waste , here's the whole Central Match programme . Always thought while John Sillett tried to be fair the whole thing was very Derby biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I remember that game well. It must have been the first time I saw a City match live on TV. We were getting well beaten until the sending off and then it turned into one of those crazy games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTRFTG Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 If the game wasn't crazy enough recall fronting up the Stanley welding Derby cretin on the station walkover (he was threatening City young 'uns) because, oh yes, it being Sunday BTP weren't on duty that day.

Midlands Robin Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 I watched the match at a friend's house. Her and her other half were both Gasheads. I'd gone down the Gate for the first time a few weeks before (0-0 against Sunderland). After watching this game, I was well and truly hooked.

Zookeeper WSM Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 My main memory is being pelted by what seemed like hundreds of coins on the way out of the ground but somehow not getting hit by any. And my mate doing a run along the top of the terrace when we scored the 4th that resembled Josimar's celebration in the 1986 World Cup. Great day!

22A Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 In a previous post about this game a few years back, someone posted that driving away from the ground, he blew his horn at a group of Derby fans. They chased after him, so he put his foot down, went round a corner to find the lights were red! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maltshoveller Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Watching this reminded me 1994 season City and Derby had the same shirt sponsor It was the first ever time two teams with same sponsor played each other ps not 100% sure but think thats ture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Oil Services Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 What a cracking, intimate, old school English football ground the Baseball Ground was. Even we could create a proper atmosphere in that place! Anyone could. Absolutely made for it. Much as I appreciate a seat and seeing the whole pitch now and all the modern cons, imagine having a place like that to watch some football again.
