To all except Leicester, Leeds and Southampton Fans

That twat scored countless goals against us. So probably scored a few hatricks against us. I’m sure if he passed back to his keeper the ball would ricochet off the keeper into our net.

 

Just looked on 11 v 11 and yep you’re correct but I think now thinking back it was penalties to decide where the replay was played as I can defo remember penalties. That one was 4-0

Knew it was a reply, but don’t recall the penalties to decide the venue.

 

I don’t either but 4-0 rings a bell

 

Yep it’s on that wiki page I put up, we lost 4-2 on penalties so they won the venue for the replay.

 

Good shout, it’s odd that’s the only bit I don’t recall… Must be an age thing….
Cue RP

Mum used to tell me that 'youth is wasted on the young'.

 

I think they decided the third game on the toss of a coin,don’t remember penalties

 

The first leg of the final took place on 25 May 1988 at Ashton Gate in Bristol and was refereed by Joe Worrall. Alan Walshscored directly from a free kick for Bristol City before Walsall equalised in the 62nd minute through Trevor Christie. David Kellyput Walsall ahead with ten minutes to go and scored again just before the final whistle to end the match 3–1. The second leg took place three days later at Fellows Park in Walsall, refereed by George Tyson. Rob Newman gave Bristol City the lead in the 31st minute and Carl Shutt made it 2–0 midway through the second half. The match ended with the aggregate score at 3–3 so a penalty shootout was used to determine the venue for a replay: Walsall won 4–2 so the deciding match took place at Fellows Park on 30 May 1988. A hat-trick from Kelly along with a headerfrom Phil Hawker secured a 4–0 victory for Walsall and promotion to the Second Division

 

I think it was as a replay.

That was it.
