Doh! I knew there would be a good explanation. I wonder whether the same will apply to my question about the four league games against Wolves. Yes, another "doh" moment. Two games in May against the same opponents should have immediately told me that they were the two legs of the play-off semi-final, not league games - though that's how they're designated in the Match Database on this site.

It was against Forest actually. Regards, Statto Very long time ago thought it was Wolves but obviously not. Got me thinking about other very bizarre incidents over the years. Anybody think of any. Freddy Sears and Clive Allen disallowed “goals” come to mind. Also remember playing Fulham (I think) the game finished everybody went down the tunnel, then the ref brought them back out and played another 3 or 4 minutes

There was an FA Cup game at home to Leeds way back in the Eighties I think where we lost 2-1. But we scored when the ball clearly crossed the line & a Leeds cheater booted it back into play. It was shown on TV even if I remember rightly.

Tommy Black would have been the scorer, and my recollection is that Michael Duberry handled the shot a good yard over the line. Dermot Gallagher was the referee. I was in the Arthur Wait and in line with the goalposts that day, and also right behind the linesman who failed to spot the 'goal'. Harry Kewell scored the winner for Leeds.

There's another incident I recall - of very little interest compared with the others that have appeared in this thread, but 60 years on I can still see it. We were playing Torquay, and one of their players hit a long ball out to their right winger. It was hit too hard and was about to fly over the winger's head when he decided he might as well jump up and catch it, to save it going into the crowd. He sportingly tossed the ball to a Palace player to take the throw and appeared slightly miffed when the ref rightly ordered a free kick to Palace. As I say, not very interesting, but I've never seen anything like it again.

As I say, not very interesting, but I've never seen anything like it again. I have, plenty of times. Not in the way you described that time, but players trying to stop a corner, throw-ins etc. The most common & really since the start of the EPL is the falling on the floor, pretending to been fouled & scooping the ball back with their hand/arms, thus preventing quick free kicks, disrupting play & such like, they call it 'gamesmanship'
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

Going back to the Wolves game, we lost 2-0 and if we had played all night we wouldn't have scored, hence me leaving early for the only time. I remember sitting in the old stand near the corner where it happened. I wouldn't normally be there but I was using a friend's season ticket. The seat was near Sean Hughes who is sadly not with us anymore.

Another strange incident I can recall was from probably the early 90’s home to Oldham, the ball was going out for a corner to Oldham when the ballboy picked the ball up about a foot before the ball crossed the line (which in it’s self is very unusual as most of them don’t get off there arse) at the Holmesdale end. Ref gave a drop ball and a warning to the young lad.
