Ah! right I was only 5/6 at that time, hence why I don't remember that game.

And you'd have been ?? When we lost to Wimbledon?

When did we lose to Shrewsbury in the FA Cup, I don't recall that one.

39 years ago TODAY.

4th Round FA Cup

I was there and couldn't believe it

RalphCoatesComb

Remember Lincoln, Wimbledon, Shrewsbury, Telford, Darlington, and Cheltenham

RalphCoatesComb

3-0 Clarets (Vydra 2, Jay Rod 1)

RalphCoatesComb

Newcastle are dropping like a stone and have now taken our place in the bottom 5

Still 3 from 5 and we're not one of 'em

RalphCoatesComb

That is a good start

No matter how much we'd like to be a top team, we are what we are, a team punching above our weight. We don't have the money, or the fanbase, to become a top 10 Club. Accept that and move on. Tarks, like all players, wants to be playing at the highest level that he can. No one can't begrudge him tha...

Interesting what tricks memory can play.... Perhaps he did it more regularly than any of us think and we just got used to it. :D Fantastic player though and a tough character to go with it. When people used to say that it didn't happen against Leeds, I used to doubt it myself, then I found the John...

Too much sitting around on the ball, lately.

You DO know it's a "Handicapped" Competition this year ?

During Lockdown I, we had lots of nice comments about how S-T-B had, somehow, helped get some folk through the weirdness of Spring?Summer 2019. We've had a "Zoom" with our mate with the Box Brownie.

Was at that game, poor old Billy Bremner didn't know what had hit him, with all the youngsters coming in, I remember skippy and ralph causing chaos.

POOR old Billy Bremner ?

It was "The Ralph Coates Show". He was here, there and everywhere !

RalphCoatesComb

I have taken this out of the Dwight Burns Trent thread so that those who are interested don't miss it. Over the years, there have been a number of references to Ralph, his antics and his audacious "sitting on the ball" stunt. In the past, others have suggested that he didn't do in in the infamous de...

I could be wrong, but I thought they dropped 2 points, at home the previous season (To Burnley)?

I could be wrong, but I think that was mentioned at paragraph 5

Now the question is: Why can we beat United at Old Trafford, Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Liverpool at Anfield but not City at the Etihad ?!

Josep "Pep" Guardiola Sala has us sussed. He has a team that can unlock defences like ours. On the other hand, Klopp's tactics aren't good enough.

I think the answer for the vast majority of Burnley fans will be ‘at home’. That’s the only downside of tonight.

But, on a positive note, more of us will have seen it "live" than would have been the case pre and post pandemic

RalphCoatesComb

One of those events where people will ask: "Where were you the last time we beat Liverpool at Anfield?" Remember tonight. They don't come along every week. In 1974 when Ian Brennan scored the goal that beat the Reds at Anfield, they weren't that far ahead of us. Their domination of English football ...

Certainly not 3 from 5 now...

The same 5 are still in the bottom 5

BUT

You're right. It should be 3 from 4 now

Newcastle should be looking over their shoulders
