Drazen Muzinic 1,445 Posted March 16, 2019 Can hear it even without the sound on TL - Barry Davies "And Leeds will go mad, and they've every right to go mad". Don Revie is a broken man. (And a cheat who entertains his players by making them play carpet bowls!) 🤭 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 9,765 Posted March 16, 2019 This is weird you posted this.I was watching something on Youtube, nothing linked to football, and this was recommended?! So I watched it .And then i got stuck in a Leeds youtube loop. They all had a punch up of varying degrees of violence. No wonder they're called dirty Leeds.

cornish sam 953 Posted March 16, 2019 Call me ignorant, but why would sugget have been offside? The ball wasn't passed to him (or anyone until the penalty box)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thirsty Lizard 3,165 Posted March 16, 2019 The laws were different then Cornish. You could be given offside just for being in an offside position when the ball was played - even if you didn't interfere with play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cornish sam 953 Posted March 16, 2019 Also, just seen the video "hunter says hello" where Norman leaves one in on Howard Kendell. Kendell is totally sparked and 2 minutes after the challenge Kendell is still unable to stand and has to be carried off with his head lolling about and the commentator saying that Everton are " still holding off on the substitution as once he comes on Kendell can't come back on". I'd be surprised if Kendell could get back on the bus after the match, let alone the pitch to keep playing football! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks thirsty, that just seems insane, effectively that would mean that you had to wait for everyone to be behind the defence before you could start to attack...

Yep! And, in light of the Krul footwork nonsense on here this week, goalies picking the ball up from a backpass meant some really boring tactics from some teams too! It was unusual for keepers to throw the ball out to team-mates - it was always a long punt upfield from memory. So much better to watch now. Even if it sometimes goes wrong...😉🎣 Edited March 16, 2019 by Drazen Muzinic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was exactly the team I was thinking of! Hansen, Thompson & Neal in particular. Not Alan Kennedy though - maybe he was more adventurous! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 9,765 Posted March 17, 2019 The trouble is that all the videos I have seen tend to be midwinter, where the pitches are awful, the ball looks as heavy as a medicine ball and the boots looks as agile as dutch clogs.Even a Man United game filled with legendary named players, looks turgid, slow and low quality. I am sure it must have been better than these highlights show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenerationA47 752 Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) No doubt . This was the age of G. Best and co. You’d think the fame of his skills wouldn’t have stood the test of time, if defences had habitually been as slack and stationary as those on display above Edited March 17, 2019 by GenerationA47 fame!

Drazen Muzinic 1,445 Posted March 17, 2019 This was also the era when Big Larry Lloyd, the perpetrator of the professional foul above, managed a long career in top flight football, playing for Liverpool and winning European Cups with Forest. He even got picked for England. His 'style', like Chopper Harris and Norman Hunter was almost licensed thuggery. They would be perpetually banned now!
