So now, if a goalkeeper saves a penalty and it goes over the bar or round the post it's a goal kick, not a corner? Mental!
I wonder what Oggy will have to say about this

ME too, but aside from Blyth's penalty save and the elation that followed, I can remember nothing else about the game!

I keep hoping some long lost footage will turn up in someone's shed, it must have been on motd because I can remember John Bond being asked how he felt scoring 4 away from home and still losing

God knows how I'm sad enough to remember all these details but ...
I remember we were 2-0 up with Wallace's bicycle kick and then a penalty, scored by Barry Powell, I think. Then Norwich scored 3 goals and we went in at half time 3-2 down.
Brian Roberts, one of our shortest players, played centre half cos we had an injury crisis amongst our defenders, and at least 2 of Norwich's goals came from crosses into the box.
Second half Ray Gooding equalised, it was our 500th 1st division (in those days) goal. I think Ray Graydon scored one of our next 2 goals and they scored an equalizer before our 5th one went in. Then there was the dramatic last minute Norwich penalty. Jim Blyth got his big fist to it and it flew up into the Kop end and the whole stadium went mad

I’m sure I remember Bywater saving one for us against Reading (Leroy Lita maybe?), must’ve been the first season at the CBS, think it ended 1-1. I was sat right behind it.
