    Good old fashioned game, great atmosphere plus a break in.

     

    Wolves’ yellow shirts don’t look like old gold, though.

    I used to enjoy a good old riot back in the day I remember seeing a bear chasing a police dog at Newcastle one night  😄

  2. Watched some of the games this weekend and some shock results that's why I'd love to see our cup throw in the premier teams right from the first games might give us Celtic v Auchinleck  or Rangers v Petershill.

    Here’s the 1956 match. Some more notable names. For Fulham, Bedford Jezzard and Jimmy Hill (Booooooo) for Newcastle, a young Ronnie Simpson.

     

     

    No poncy goal celebrations a quick handshake more than enough

    What was your stance on the goalkeeper, as I’ve said time and time again opposing players are using VAR to there advantage even if it’s not a clear foul they know VAR will make it look worse,  especially if the defender was more in the goalkeepers face the fact he wasn’t and it was the opposite was the only deciding factor in his favour, I think  everything else was over dramatised for the  VAR visual effects team to make up there minds so they could get there second chance and to get the goal chopped, 100% going to see more of these. 

     

    A clear goal players today get to much protection it's more like a sport for Nancy boys now

    Or maybe the three. Actually, I was wrong to mention Baxter. He is unique.

     

    In old lineups there were two halfbacks, right and left regarded as part of the defence but playing in front of the back line. The ideal half back’s role was to break up opposing attacks, procure the ball and supply it to the forwards. Equally they were expected to defend inside their penalty box. The ability to drive forward into the opposition penalty box was a bonus. The perfect exponents were John Greig and Dave McKay. Stuart McCall did pretty much the same. More often, one half back was more defensive minded (Harry Davis, John Cumming) the other more forward going (Danny Blanchflower, Frank Beattie) Left or right didn’t matter.

     

    You would think that Tav would be an ideal attacking half back on the right. I just wonder if he needs his area of the field to be the modern right back position where he can see the trend of play and start his runs early. Standing further forward might impede those abilities. He would have to play four consecutive games at right half before we would know if it suits him.

    The type of player with the character to grab a game by the scruff of the neck and drive his team to victory one player like that would make us winners
