The reason there was a long delay Bradford subbed their legend Stuart McCall in what was his last home match .

I was watching the telly when the bloke in the studio said "there is a penalty at Bradford" unbelievably for a good 30 seconds the match reporter only commented on the fact McCall was leaving the pitch. For that 30 seconds which was the longest half minute of my life I didn't even know which team had won the pen.

Taylor was also receiving treatment following his clash of knees with the Bradford defender.

I was there. Shearer scored from a free kick for a back pass. First attempt was blocked but ref said take it again as wall had moved before the kick. He scored from the 2nd attempt. I reckon they would have kept going until he scored.

From memory it seemed more like the ball just came off Igor as opposed to it being an actual back pass. And yes, I dare say the game would have gone on until they scored. Just another example of the harsh decisions we seemed to be on the end of that season.

Yep hard low cross from the right which was a ricochet off Balis rather than a pass. We could start a whole thread dedicated to 'shockers' that went against us that season.

We could start with the first match at OT. McInnes got a straight red for a tackle that was not as bad as one from Keane a few mins earlier. Solskjaer scores the only goal from one that was offside.
