Antman Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 anyone else recall Simpsons goals in that weird win at Derby back in (92?) i remember him being a right pain, but after their keeper attempted to mount Shelts in the penalty area, and got sent off it all went very strange.

Guest Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 That goal disallowed for Bent - my old man always said it was because the last defender was behind the goalkeeper so the correct decision. Anyone know if that’s right? Bloody tight call if so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if that’s right? It’s not offside, as can be seen by my screenie below. The rule however is that if Bent was beyond the keeper, he’d have been off. Not sure how the rule is exactly worded but people think it’s ‘last man’, but it’s actually ‘second last’ which includes the keeper. But anyway, he wasn’t off.

Portred Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 I thought the rule was two players, one of which is the keeper most of the time, doesn’t matter where they are. Keeper could be on the half way line as long as two defenders are in front of the receiver. I was at that game, couldn’t believe me Mum let me go. 13 year old school boy. Came out the ground to a massive roar and trouble flared. Made about 3 quid picking up all the coins that were being thrown !! Great days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Hucker Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 A Palace supporting mate of mine turned up at my house on the morning of the match to tell me that, as a surprise birthday present, he’d bought us tickets for the game and was driving me there! We arrived in time for a good few beers then enjoyed one of the more incredible City matches I’ve ever witnessed. Happy days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct.......NTTDS asked me ages ago what was the first live game that City played in? I took a guess that it was Derby v City at the Baseball ground as I vaguely remember seeing the game live on ITV. Didn’t realise at the time that it was Citys first live showing on TV.

Isawjonshaw Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 I remember this game well! They had a really decent side. Simpson and Kitson stood out. Junior had a goal disallowed if I remember rightly. Went off after the game as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
