Both first game and progy v Oldham friendly in early 1968 . Lost 1-0 to a Laurie Sheffield goal . Remember some fisticuffs after .Scarboro game in 79 of course 🙄
Took my then 3 year old lad to the above mentioned Scarboro game in 81and he dropped his full M and P pie exactly as mentioned above 😂. Not his first game btw that was v South Liverpool when 9 months old ! These threads are great man , keep em rollin 👏
Your'e still a relative young un then Ukranian 👍😊Thanks for that but I attended three of the four games. The fourth one at OT, I was forced to swerve due to the birth of my eldest!
I too saw three of the four games also missing the return at Old Trafford. Different reason though... My Dad wouldn't let me go... School the next day....
Yeah, your'e spot on mate . I meant Colchester in 2016 , but they faced Spurs in R4 anyway . Need to research before trusting my fading memory 😀I'll take a chance at football league over everything at this point.Exactly this , Mind you cup runs do bring in the big bucks of course , we missed out of another chance with the last minute goal by Pompey with the winners facing our old foes Spurs. And the glory of course , remember Hereford getting into the FL in 1972 without EVER winning the Southern League title !!!
Happy to have 10 less games in the boys legs for the minuscule chance of drawing a premier league team we get patted on the head by.
Portsmouth were away to Fleetwood in the round after they beat us.

It struck me on Saturday. Gone are the days of John Rogers or Kenny McKenna who were lethal in the air.Those two and Jeff Johnson were all great in the air,unlike Swindells and Worth from a different era ! The brilliant goal by JR at Wycombe in the 1982 Trophy semi springs to mind .
Defenders score the odd goal from corners or free kicks but our strikers very rarely seem to. It isn't a massive problem when we have such talented forwards with the ball at their feet but it would be good to have another weapon in our arsenal.
The club seem to have noticed this as well, our corners against Barnet were low ones that bounced before reaching the penalty area, one of which we converted of course.
Not a major concern, but worth noting I would say.
