who else can recall the derby FA cup massacre?

Recommended Posts

I remember city playing derby at the old baseball ground in the FA cup

in mid 80''s i believe and playing exactly as they did on

saturday.  I think city were top flight and derby 2nd div, anyway

expectations were high and city were awful - just like on

saturday.  they never got in the game 20 odd years ago and derby

won it easy.

Remember it well , mate.Was only talking about it the other day on the way up to the dismal showing on Saturday.

As I recall , Paul Haylock had an absolute ''mare and Bobby Davison scored 2 for them with Deehan replying for us in the last minute.It was yet another bottle job against a team in a lower division than us and as I remember we took about 10,000 fans that day and were subjected to a 1 mile hike around some of the grottiest terrace streets in Derby just to get in.

Cant remember it being anywhere near as bad a performance as this week though...

Remember that game well. Paul Haylock had a nightmare that day, well he had quite a few if I remember well? Masses of Norwich fans there and there was a little in-fighting that day as well in our section. One young eighties face at the time got into a fight with some huge middle age Norwich fan and came off far the worse. Think he got arrested later that game, or was at least escorted out of the ground.

We were pants that day and it seems like things have not changed with our last visit to Derby....Still we are going to win at Crewe!
