[Albion] Ah feck it, let's do this anyway - Albion v Liverpool

[Stat Brother]

I know this is shite.
I know this is 'I was there'.
I know we've done it a bazillion times before.

But seeing the 'scenes', the 'limbs', the 'Norf Stand',

F**k it, let's just do it all over again

The FA Cup game we won 2-0 at home was live on ITV (I think), I was one of the first on the pitch after the whistle, cam running on from the West Stand.

I am pretty sure Souness was subbed at some point as we were behind the Liverpool dug-out, when he came off we gave him a serious amount of abuse and the intent in his eyes was he would have started a fight had it not been a football ground and he was a player.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I was there for the 2-2 league game in 81.

I seem to remember going 2 up early doors (too early as it turned out).

Anyone recall what time the goals were scored?
Google tells me they were both in 45th minute, but I seem to remember both goals in the first 10 minutes or so.

 

[Insel affe]

I love the silence that fell over the goldstone as Terry Conner raced through and the sheer euphoria that erupted was breath taking....

That Foster header has never crossed the line, has it?

 

[SeagullinExile]

My best away trip ever that Cup game. Epic day.

I must apologise to LFC though, I was standing on my seat when JB got the second - It broke into several pieces during the carnage!

 

[Insel affe]

For the sake of balance and to prove we can still score more than them.
Thunderbolt from Kaz, gave us brief hope...

Oh the crowd going mental I miss that.

Fast forward to 2020 and a goal followed by 10mins VAR review while they try and find a reason to disallow it and a choice of socially distanced crowd where standing up to celebrate will be considered a breach and you'll be thrown out or alternatively you'll need to make do with a recording or someone else celebrating a goal in a different game while you sit on your socially distanced sofa within your bubble on your own. I hate 2020...

Yes great goal.
I watched the game on TV from a bar in Marsascala.

I think we scored 4 that day!

I watched 2 more games there and we lost both so never went to watch a game there again

 

[Uh_huh_him]

The glood old days before VAR, goal line technology and top 6 bias

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

And now Connor's through.......that was the best limbs.

SHHHH!

just incase they pull it back

We were definitely robbed in 1991, supposed foul from a corner disallowing a Mike Small header I think. Still one of favourite games to have been at

There's an excellent photo of Mick Robinson's goal in the Coventry programme

And it also states the goal was scored on 2 minutes and 25 seconds

I read also we were 2 nil up after 8 minutes

So presumably Smith's goal was in the 7th or 8th minute

Yep. Wasn't it a little dink of a back header? The pundits all claimed our goal at north stand end was offside. They used fake footage for their big six bias. I think, I bought the video back in the day that showed a better angle and it was clearly onside.

Glad to see my memory was correct (on this occasion)

I remember Gary Howlett scoring in a 2-2 unless there was another 2-2 ,or memory is fading . Was in the North Stand end .

 

[MTSeagulls]

I had that recorded on VHS tape from the TV.
I believe it had a young disabled boy as mascot that day.
I wasn't sure if there was any other footage of that game and I emailed the club offering it to them for free but I never had a response.
In the end it got discarded with a box of videos as I was leaving the country.
Sorry that should have been a quote of the 2-0 win over Liverpool.

I remember the 3-3 well as a kid in the north on a milk crate. Great come back..
