I know I need to move on but can anyone recall the foul by Adams on Gynn in the box not given in that 87/88 game? Fuck me, as blatant a penalty as you could ever see. Big club bias alive and kicking 38 years ago,

Yes I can remember, right in front of the ref too

Up to 1987 the FA cup semi finals were never shown live
in fact i think 1990 was the first showing live

1987 was a year, where they allowed the game to be shown in full albeit delayed as there was no agreement in place for live semi finals to be shown. Likewise the watford Spurs game which was on the saturday was not shown live

My memory is pretty fuzzy because I was a young boy at the time. All I remember was that I wearing my kit (navy blue away strip) in the kitchen watching the game on TV - it was a rare treat. Remembered thinking how rubbish Watford’s crest was too, and Birmingham’s for that matter.

I remember watching games that season but my support back then was more getting the kits and waiting for us to pop up on Gillette Soccer Saturday. Outside of the JSBs, I only regularly went up to games as a STH at the Ricoh.

The Steve Walsh game was the following season, that was on Sky

He and Bothroyd both scored stunning goals in that game.

Watford as well? I remember watching that one on TV, if memory serves me right we lost 1-0 (probably not).

Lost 5-2 on Sky

Lee Carsley’s final game before his sale to Everton iirc.

Maybe FA cup game v Wimbledon away under Presley was on BBC, I think. Billed as 2 ex-winners

I went to that game with my Dad, as a guest of his boss, in the Palace director’s box. We were 2-0 up and cruising (Bothroyd screamer, one of them). They got one back and was convinced they were going to equalise, before Sheffers scored a cracking third.

Take homes from the night:

1. Had great fish and chips near Selhurst Park after the game.
2. Convinced McSheffrey was the next Michael Owen
3. My Dad’s boss stormed off after the third, kicking his seat in the process not stopping to say goodbye and never mentioned the game again.

The McShfferey goal is one of my all time favourites. I think it’s the only goal that I’ve ever seen where the ball doesn’t touch the floor. Even when it hits the goalie. If Messi had scored a goal with a first touch like that it would be shown all the time! 11.20 on this video. Bothroyds is superb too.

I prompted ChatGPT and this is what it managed to muster up in addition to the list you provided. I haven’t double checked any of them, so apologies if it’s bunk:

May 2001 – Coventry 2 Bradford City 2 (ITV) – Final day of the Premier League season
January 2009 – Coventry 2 Kidderminster Harriers 0 (ITV) – FA Cup 3rd Round
March 2013 – Coventry 1 Crewe Alexandra 2 (ITV4) – JPT Final
March 2020 – Coventry 1 Sunderland 0 (ITV/STV) – League One clash broadcast in Scotland
May 2023 – Coventry 1 Middlesbrough 0 (ITV1) – Championship Play-Off Semi Final, 2nd Leg

Doubt it as I watched it and Ive never had BT sport. Maybe BBC online rather than the actual tv.

This was definitely on pay TV, possibly the first iteration of ESPN/BT/TNT Sports?

Most of those if not all are bollocks. Some of the games didn’t even happen. Others the scores are wrong

Flip side of the coin I remember going round to my mates specifically to watch it as we didn't have BT Sport
