Big Match Revisited

[Shedboy1971]

This encouraged me to watch the 1994 cup final. Not all of it but key parts and the half time eammon bannon/terry butcher analysis - amazingly i had never watched that. Spine tingling with the usual terrible refereeing and linesman waiting for the dead club to tell him what the decisions are. BUT what a ****ing day that was - id forgotten how much we pissed over them first half. As a United fan thats the happiest day of my life - i just knew we would win the league the next year

I was in there with the infamous Pigdenis. Was too young (8) to fully appreciate it.

Me too, exactly the same age. Wish I could remember more...

I'd forgotten about Dodds' 'was it in or was it not?' but what I clearly remember is Ralphie hitting the bar with a similar chip from about the same distance when it was 2-0 which would have been us in easy street & we could have celebrated for 60 minutes instead of being on tenterhooks for half an hour after Fun goal. They were trying like bears but thankfully there were no good chances for them that involved ****ting yourself. Anyone remember Ralph's near thing cos I ain't never seen it since that day & like I said I'd forgotten the Dodds near thing.

Footnote - did you watch the Derby v Fulham game at the start of the programme? Fans were congregated on the sidelines & byelines in the last minutes. Derby fan kicked the Fulham player on the thigh as he went down the wing, couldn't believe it!!

I remember following luggy, etc as they walked doon to Tanny while being interviewed by the BBC outside broadcast.......as for in the ground we were near where the players come oot....totally full o arabs squeezed in like sardines!!
Atmosphere was electric and I remember being totally nervous but felt it was gonna be our day....and it was!

Of course it was going to be our day, it was the Funsters after all.
