On this day matches (Football)

[Jimmi]

Yes I remember some parts of it vividly. Andy Gray saying 'Cor blimey' in response to the penalty decision.

And Martin Tyler practically singing "HE has HIT the BAR!" I said he sounded triumphant... He really did.

I was there and I can still hear the sound of the ball thumping off the bar

Not sure I’ve ever actually listened to the original Sky Sports commentary

Did you get a good grade on the assignment?

The sound of the ball smacking the crossbar. I like that detail. I think the assignment went well. Can't say I remember particularly

I also did England's 4th goal at the 1966 World Cup final and 5Live commentary of Beckham scoring a penalty for England. I remember Alan Green saying Beckham's name as though he were spitting it. More like 'Pffeckham'. Terry Butcher was co-commentator. Odd memories. I drilled it all into my brain by endless repetition. shocking stuff.

My Dad and I were in the Stretford End but the penalty happened at the scoreboard end
Vieira also got sent off and United hit the post with a cross from a Giggs free kick that evaded everyone in the box

Blimey, Alan Green. Is he still going?
He’s made himself seem like Tony Angelino’s cousin with that call.
I hope Butcher was supporting the head-bandage on the gantry

I assume Alan Green retired. I do miss the old bugger and his curmudgeonly ways. All these bright white-teeth banter bots of today who all agree on everything... diversity my bottom. Might as while be cloning them.

Likely told to “retire” or step down would be my guess

Here's one. 51 years ago today, Derby County in the European Cup.

Was this back in the day when you could only have so many “foreign” players in your squad for the Champions League?

It was. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/4528732.stm

That article actually mentions the game above. Schmeichel was left out because of the rule.

[oche balboa]

yep Ferguson could only pick 3 from 5

Schmeichel, Irwin, Keane, Kanchelskis & Cantona (Who was suspended for the Barca match)

The Bosman ruling wasn't what changed it. UEFA were planning on changing it in 95-96 anyway
