A bit like me! First game was in 1972 - sat on the wall behind the advertising hoardings! Football is now more entertainment than sport. Watching some of the old 'Big Match' programmes on BT Sport recently, showing games in the seventies - great atmosphere, robust tackles (players don't tackle these days), swaying crowds, pitch invasions, players giving it their all..

I recently saw the Birch playing for Palace, scoring v Man Utd, about ‘72 ? Love the old games. The awful pitches, kids in parkas, opposing fans stood together, the hairstyles and retro kits, the referees struggling to keep up with play. In many ways the game now is better, in some ways not so, probably lost its romance in a way l guess.

For me, the Hereford FA Cup game against Newcastle is what football should be about. Ronnie Radford's goal is my favourite of all time, especially with John Motson's commentary - my first memories of Match of the Day

Correct.

 

Incidentally, as far as this thread is concerned, during the working week we tend to be on here from around 9.00pm. Saturdays and Sundays, people nip in and out, with Sunday evening after 9.00pm being the most popular

Cheers, thanks for the heads up.

Quite a few of the regular contributors have passed the half century mark, so we are all mad about the seventies and eighties. We also have a few youngsters such as @Izzy Muzzett and @Tuna getting in the way:D
