I don't think that in the grand scheme of things, we're completely awful, no. It's just a bit depressing when a team with so much promise under Barmby suddenly appears to have been stripped bare - despite no sales. I think it was the togetherness of the squad and the unity under Barmby that made the squad feel more promising than it was, because I couldn't see anyone particularly wanting to leave, whereas now, with players angry at the dismissal and a new man at the helm, it all seems to be fading away, regardless of whether we get someone like Bruce, or like Blackwell. And as great as it is to think, if we never get there again, at least "we were there"... it's a bit painful to think that we may support the team for the rest of our lives and never relive those days, which makes me wish I wasn't such a blind kid when we were up there. I know that's all very doomy and gloomy, and I don't genuinely think that we won't get back there in the next 60 years, but it's obviously a possibility.
Just watched this and it made me realise I actually remember **** all of this match. The goal and Brown jumping on Boaz's back at 94 minutes are just about the only things I could have told you that happened before watching the video. Think I must have passed most of the game in some kind of trance!
Good call. That Jock Davidson moment was touching and very poignant. Typical of him not to want to let his mates down, and typical of the respect he has that they didn't want to leave him out. A magnificent moment. Have to say many of those who were 'legends' that day were nowt of the kind. He was.
No one blubbing near me Spent most of the game looking at my watch, biting my lip and exhaling slowly, counting down the minutes. At the end I hurled my jester hat joyously up in the air. Job done.
I could watch that goal all day every day - apart from it significance, it is a fab goal..... Deano Deano!!!!!!!!!!
wow, didn't cry on the just screamed but this is certainly emotional... i can't believe how long we had to withstand their attacks, hearts were racing. the goal itself is just unreal really, the player, the passer, the type of goal and the execution... if only it had been in the 93rdminute
One of the best days of my life. At the end i had tears of JOY for the ones who could see it all happen and tears of SADNESS for the ones who never lived to see it happen.
