Butt, butt, butt …

Sarcasm, right?

3,321 Brewers 919 Fewers The M5/M42/M6 must have been gridlocked yesterday.

In fairness, there is a red weather warning in Scotland and people have been warned to stay at home and not venture out.

Everything else sounds great.

Exactly as I remember it!

I have a hazy recollection (maybe complete bollocks, mind you) of Peter being involved in an incident in the goalmouth at the East End whereby he and an opposing defender simultaneously kicked/blocked the ball and it burst! Never seen it happen before or since. Of course, it may never have happened and I’ve just dreamt it. Anyone?

My dad took me, aged 11, to that match on a coach which got stuck in traffic on the North Circular and arrived just before ht. After the match, he bought me a sandwich in a cafe outside of the ground and, for some reason, from a street seller, a bloody huge team photo of Leeds which adorned my bedroom wall for years, even though I never liked Leeds (still don’t!). Strange the things you remember! I’ve still got the match programme.

Mine too. A classy defender who seemed quite unflappable to my c.7 year old eyes. Rest peacefully, Gordon.

I remember being at Loftus Road in 1980 or 1981. They’d had a plastic, Omniturf pitch installed and the ball bounced like one of those superball toys on concrete. We were stuffed by three or four goals but it could have been ten because we just couldn’t come to terms with it. A horrible match.

Weal literally hasn’t got bollocks?

So might we.

Thanks. Was he a striker?

I can just about recall Durrell but who was our sub ‘Griffen’?

A great day! (BTW, WTF was their mascot meant to be?) We had such a good team at that time. Our back four was very solid - such a shame when Collier left. Cheesley was a truly exceptional striker whom I firmly believe would have gone on to play internationally had he not suffered such a career ending injury. Ritchie was a perfect foil for him. Fear was frustrating but a real favourite of mine. Sometime in between those two matches, one of the stands seems to have, ahem, disappeared. Gone up in smoke. Ironic that after all of the intervening years, only now are they building a replacement. I was at both matches but, given all of the shit that we’d had to live through, the Cup win was such a great moment in time. TC will always be a legend to those who lived through those times.

Oh, we most certainly believe you. You truly are a 'kin moaner.

378 Valiants. 6,986 home supporters once again proving that they really do need a bigger ground.

7,364. They really are coming for us. We should all be worried.

May slow him down

Presumably that’s a bike shed on the rhs?

I was in the East End, right behind the goal, halfway back and had the perfect view! An unusual mixture of cheers and laughter greeted his goal. 50 years ago ffs!

So, what was the problem with his thumb?

Just out of interest, I thought I’d see whether it’s available tomorrow or on Tuesday but it looks as though the fixture list has been factored in because it’s normally available time slots are ‘greyed out’ ie the feature is unavailable on match days.

For accuracy, it was at 4 seconds past 11pm …
