I truly pity whoever are going to be the transfer mods.

Ahh Terry, eh. I miss the aul bastard in here. I speak to him every now and again. I don't think he'll be back. I'd say defo not now. I haven't even peeped out there, but I bet it's on fire. So, I'd best just stay here. I'd only pour petrol on it.

Had a seriously boss day at Sound City yesterday, weather was sound so I woke up with a big red grid this morning.

Anyway went out in the docks on a boat with a couple of bevs, this lad was on. Take a look at the video, was Sound, great experience.

Wait till you see what I'm up to now. And you'll be gettin blamed for that, an all!

Good night that though, eh? I don't remember much after Terry doing he's Elton. Next thing I remember, waking up, caked in Pizza. I must have got one bite out of it, but it was everywhere, the lot, all over me clobber, in me hair, on the pillow and in the bed. Pauline went bonkers, crept out the hotel, mortified, like she'd shit the bed, long journey back that one.

I've got a question you arlarses (the sane people on this site) might be able to help with. I went to my first away at Stamford bridge in 91 and for the life of me I remember there being a load of cars parked behind the goal, facing the pitch, in front of of the old shed end (the big semi circle gap). It sticks in my mind as I thought it was like a drive-in service at the time. I can't find anything online and I'm starting to think I made it up because I was 10?

I think the goal is on a hill. And this was obviously in the days before sports photographers hogged the goal line because I'm sure that's Toulouse Lautrec there.

KAY-LIE is ringing a bell. Was there a similar name for something that looked like a twig and you bit bits off it? Mind you, we were brassic so it could actually have been just a twig.

And liquorice by the yard that used to turn your tongue black.

I think it was quite common {at least in Scotland} to have a slope like that at the goalmouth for drainage.

I remember playing on pitches like that as a kid. Rugby Park also had the disability cars round the edge when it was an oval. My first game at RP was in the early 70s and it was one of those grounds that the fans swapped ends at half-time {when suitable}. A certain Kenny Dalglish scored the goal in a 1-0 victory for Celtic. I looked the match report up online and there was a mention of crowd trouble, which I have no recollection of. I wouldn't be surprised if it was related to the changing of ends though.

I'm sure we used to do that at Anfield, via the paddock, which was only feasible for reserve matches. On the other hand that could just be false memory syndrome.

We had a similar slope at Anfield in the goalmouths. In the late sixties, maybe 1970 or so, we played Man U at Anfield. It was the only time I ever saw George Best play a blinder against us. He was usually anonymous. Anyway he scored two goals, one a header from a corner at the Anfield Road end. I don't remember the other one. Roger Hunt pulled one back but late on Best rounded our goalie (almost certainly Tommy Lawrence) in the inside right channel. He was forced a bit wide but confidently rolled it towards the empty net for his hat-trick. I was still in the Paddock in those days and his shot was rolled towards the Kop goal and I was right behind it. I could clearly see that the six-yard box seemed to be raised and, sure enough, the camber in the goalmouth made the ball roll wide of an empty net. It looked like a terrible miss but there was nothing the lad could do about it. I suppose if he'd hit it harder he probably would have scored but it was as slow as a putt in golf

Dr. Beaker · « **Reply #39675 on:** May 25, 2015, 05:27:29 PM »

Yeah they used to build up the ground level in the goalmouths at Anfield at the beginning of the season. By the end of the season Tommy Lawrence had compressed it back to ground level again.

Aye, Not all bad old Ken, frying Chelsea fans.

I think I was at that game. My memories not all it used to be, but I think it ended up 4-1 to Man U, and Best was immense, ran our defence ragged. Tommy Smith tried to kick lumps out of him, but couldn't get near him. If I remember rightly, there's a picture of Best standing over Smith with the ball, telling Smith to get up and have another go.

Sticky lice and Spanish Gold.
