Also on ITV hub catchup for those who had a lie in
Those were the days. Or were they? I didn't see a single black face at the Golstone, either on the pitch, on the bench or in the crowd in that transmission. You had Venables interviewed later sneering at players who can't 'take it' (meaning abuse and intimidation from other players). In a later game we saw disgusting tackling (from Southampton on Fulham players) that should have resulted in red cards, yet Bobby Moore was penalised for a foul that never was and Southampton took the kick quickly and scored, then George Best was sent off for Fulam for dissent. You could see from Alec Stock's interview later that there was an elephant in the room - the referee was a cheat. Meanwhile the lazy Brian Moore just whipped up a fake angle about Best's sending off. Oh, we did eventually see a black player, subbed on for Fulham, and you can hear someone monkey chanting a few seconds later. No comment about that, of course. Generally the standard of football was poor, with the final game (Leeds versus ManUre) redolent with unfit players standing and watching, lunging tackles, crappy passing....and we actually thought England was the greatest footballing nation in the world, and were outraged when we couldn't qualify for the world cups?
Very disappointed by that. I used to love Big Match replayed, but it seems very dated and shitty now. As Danny Baker often said, never shine daylight on magic. It was magical then, but now....

Alec Stock, allegedly one of the main influences for Paul Whitehouse's Ron Manager.
Mmm, jumpers for goalposts, small boys in the park, witch hazel, mmmmm.

Blimey, you are a tough crowd today Harry. I really enjoyed the whole programme ! Especially the fact that they led with a Division 3 game. The best players weren’t all playing for the top teams. Look at the teams put out by Southampton and Fulham. Quite a contrast to modern football.
pasty
A different kind of pasty
Spotted my late dad in the crowd!

Mullery and Venables were pretty pally on the sofa, Venables playfully punching Meullery's thigh at one point.
That rather gives the lie to the theory that the underlying reason for the Abion/Palace rivalry started because the two fell out when Billy Nick chose Mullery as Captain of Spurs over Venables.

Sorry. Yes, a bit excessively grumpy, perhaps. I recall only a few years earlier we were the first game on MOTD (versus Villa), another game I was at. Me? intolerant of small irritation? Who knew? Give me his name and I'll put him on ignore

27000 in the Goldstone..... I enjoyed the game and I liked the low key presentation of the programme. No flashing images or fancy camera work. Brian Moore showed what a good commentator and interviewer he was.... and NO VAR !
Marvelous scenes.

That's great!
'George Best, an Irish international'. Like the union flags waved at the 66 world cup, we English had little sense of Englishness back then, and yet no awareness of anything in the union that is outside England.
That crowd, though.
