The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Thursday 9th June)

So the war wasn't high up on your agenda. That was the season we were relegated. I think we rioted or set fires away to WBA on the last day. That's one of my memories. I would have been doing my Leaving cert in Dublin 82, then I started my basic training in the RAF Feb 83.

 

And a month later, Villa were crowned the champions of europe. It's a funny old game.

 

I was at West Brom that night, lots of rioting, a lot of damage to the stadium, fights with police but don't recall any fires but it was mayhem so may have missed them if there were any.

 

It was a conflict.

 

i was there as well and it was mayhem and remember the iron railings being toppled over at pitch side... we where near the back of the end and it was carnage, remember allan clarke saying he didn't see any trouble .........blinkers sniffer

 

Remember them winning it. At least then you had to be the League Champs to qualify.

 

You get all the best games. I'm sure I have clippings of the match report somewhere and I think fans were trying to start small fires at the back of the stand. Long time ago and many gallons of ale drank since then, so could be wrong.

 

A conflict of interest that turned into war.
Nearly a thousand young men would testify to that if they hadn't lost their lives.

 

I personally Olof, dont care regarding the politics, I just want to respect those that died.

 

We were about quarter way up against the fence,on the right looking at pitch, remember a chunk of concrete flying over our heads.

 

Ffs Gessa. Lucky you didnt try to head it.

 

I may have done,would explain a lot

 

I missed a chance there Gessa.

 

Sorry about that Gessa I was aiming for the ref
