Wolves v villa. Wolves player elbows villa player in face breaks his nose. Villa player right hooks him. Both off! [emoji3]

Moseley looking very suspect
2 men taking a corner Nothings new in football

 

[Bry Nylon]

Were loose

I remember the North Stand sarcastically singing 'Moseley for England'

Maty would have saved them.

 

[Motogull]

Two reds in two games for punching. Both wrong decisions. The game has gone really soft.

The high and late foul on Ricky Villa in the Spurs v Forest game showed how football has changed. Villa was straight up and ready for a fight despite having his sock ripped down the shin/calf from the high tackle.

These days it would have been a straight red (after a VAR check) and the player rolling around for five minutes, banging the floor with his fist as if his leg had been snapped in half.

Just seen Arsenal v Brighton 1980 FA Cup 4th Round. May still be on the ITV Hub. Last game as usual.
So many things stand out.
Highbury, only a few roofs, fans packed in, no corporate stuff.
We had a very good team.
4 foot Peter Ward up against 8 foot Willie Young
Ref hit by the ball and obviously in extreme discomfort.
Brian Moore informing Arsenal ST holders to write in for tickets for 5th Round.
Another match shown was to be replayed three days later.

A young Chris Kamara playing for Swindon in the Spurs game made me chuckle
