I was there :clap2: I'd forgotten the United/Chelsea style attempts at ref intimidation from so many Albion players after he gave the penalty :lolol:

Thanks for that, one of my best if not best ever day as an Albion fan

What the f*** was Melia telling our laces to go over to the kop for. Stupid clown.

Seem to remember we got applause from all over the ground at the end...suprisingly :ohmy: Probably for that reason but more likely the fact that we had two Liverpool born fans at the club at the time, Melia being one :lol:

The good old days when the Albion were a joy to watch. I was 15 then didn't get to Anfield but a few weeks later I went to probably the most memorable game i've ever been to ( other the the Final ) the semi final at Highbury.

Happy Days !!!
 


I was there. The BEST day EVER in watching the Albion for pushing 50 years, including 2 Cup Finals, Highbury, Cardiff and all the others.

I can't understand all the fuss from the Albion players over the penalty, looked pretty clear cut to me. Mind you, on the day, from 100 yards away I could clearly see it definitely was NOT a penalty, just a conspiracy by the Welsh pillock Clive Thomas (I think) to help out his neighbours. Everyone around me could see that too.

I knew it was going to be our day when a Seagull flew over our stand and the Albion fans erupted. We are Brighton from the south still sends a shiver down my spine today.

Incidentally the match was mentioned in the divorce petition presented by my ex-wife 8 (yes, 8!) years later as part of her attempt to prove that I was a terrible husband to leave her and our two small babies to go to a football match. She's bloody luck I didn't take Commander with me but he was only 1 year old at the time. Women!

And all you so-called fans who say you weren't there because you weren't born, a REAL Albion supporter would have been there in spirit. I was at the game when we won the Charity Shield and I will be at the 2077 Cup Final when this time we beat Man U.

Time to go and lay down, I thnk :p

That too is on there, the whole 90 minutes if you search for it.

I love watch the goal celebrations when Case scores. :clap:
