Charlton on BT Sport

HRBryan

It is worth people keeping an eye on BT Sport's schedule as they have been recently repeating their 'The Big Match' rewind from 1976. A few days ago they had the October 1976 episode which featured as the main game our 3-1 mauling of Hull, Killer's hattrick and the famous 'Roy of the Rovers' quote from Killer with Brian Moore in the studio. Paddy Powell's speed and pace is always worth watching. We also had a lion club being paraded to fans before the game. Not sure we would be allowed to do that now.....

They had also been showing the episodes from 1983 which included reference to our 7-1 slaughter at Burnley (Hales an Aizlewood sent off and Lennie Lawrence booked).

Apart from reminding us just how good an authority on football Brian Moore was, it does show how much football has 'developed' (dreadful pitches, goalies who can pick up a ball, players being booked and sent off without a single yellow or red card, and in the infamous Derby V Fulham game (1983), you even had a fan go and kick out at a player trying to take a throw......)

Enjoy.....

I caught the 4-4 playoff game with Sunderland on BT last night.

Yet look at those pitches from the 70's. From December around to March they had virtually no grass on them & yet players played week after week.without injury & with only the use of one sub. Notts Forest's European  winning squad only used 16 players that season & the majority of the team played over 50 games each.

Could not get their studs caught in the turf

And 7-6 on pens?

Yes they showed the penalties, all of them. Still get worried about Shaun Newton's one as he only takes a couple of paces but it went in again.

I still find it hard anyone but Bowen or Super Clive scored.  You'd get very good odds on none of the other five missing.

There was only one other penalty that a goalie got a hand to, Ilic nearly saved their 3rd/4th penalty.

Another excellent shoot out for us was at Chelsea, five perfect penalties, although according to Mourinho Chelsea didn't lose that game.
