I was there too. I imagined it was going to be an electric atmosphere purely because it was an international, but of course it was pretty flat. I don't even recall Eusebio :(

And who's gonna pay for it?

Pretty sure it was called the Spion Kop, even on the signs outside. Could be wrong of course, but I'd be amazed if it was called the East Stand before the much later redevelopment.

But the replay did constitute an additional fixture for him to avoid getting booked if you know what I mean. He's been suspended from the Semi Final at Wembley for getting two bookings across 5 matches in the earlier rounds. Seems really harsh, but the rules were known in advance.

That image seems all wrong. Pre-decimal prices (i.e. 60s or earlier) but there was surely no such thing as the "East Stand" then. That was the Kop end wasn't it? The prices are believable though (12.5p and 2.5p in today's units).

As a general observation, I think most people probably underestimate how hard it must be to do live commentary well.

Full description please :)

I recall that Hutch scored a legendary solo effort in an away game (Highbury or the Baseball Ground?) not long after he joined us. Was anyone here lucky enough to witness it?

United have deployed an interesting defensive formation there. The boomerang?

Nick's got two feet that may come in useful.

Gynn's equaliser against Leeds wasn't the greatest of goals, but it was the biggest explosion of noise I've ever experienced at a football match.

I'm with you on all of those Otis. It's funny how you can remember exactly where you were for the special goals - Crow's Nest for Ernie's lob, West End immediately behind the goal for Tommo against West Ham.

It's not over this season though is it? Points have accrued over years.

Wild celebrations are brilliant, the game would be pointless without them. But I really can't see what's wrong with the 11 players going crazy on the pitch, and everyone else going crazy off the pitch? The rule is there for good reason, and contrary to the claim that it's binary, clearly refs...

Which bit, or all of it?

I agree he could (and maybe should) have ignored it in this instance, but you can't say it's a poor law! The ref has to have control over who is allowed on the pitch, and be able to apply sanctions.

If the rule wasn't there (or wasn't enforced for blatant acts like KP's) you'd be giving carte blanche for the whole bench to run on and join in with on-field celebrations, which would be chaos. He was crazy to do what he did, and it's so disappointing because he could have been a weapon for us...

OK that's clear enough. As discussed on here, people do seem to regularly get away with modest encroachment onto the field all the time. But how an experienced player thinks he can run right across the pitch the way KP did when the match hasn't finished is beyond me. I guess he wasn't warned by...
