Hoochie Bloochie Mama Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 This counts as nostalgia now I think. Nostalgia ain't what it used to be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipl Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Great goals. If allowed 12, Shearer's swivel and strike at Liverpool which Jan Molby described on 5Live as "fuck me" and Le Saux's screamer for the 7th against Forest but there were so many fantastic goals. No place in there for strikes by Sutton, Santa Cruz, Cole or Macarthy either... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenrover Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) Anybody remember this fella' playing up front with Stevie Kindon for t'clarettes?! "It's hard to smile when you're 3-0 down The Rovers giving you the run around It's hard enough when We're away But not at Burnley on a Boxing Day"! -Where were you on 26th December 1977? Longside, Bee-Hole End, Cricket Field Stand or Bob Lord Stand? What a bloody good day that was, if not a bit of a nail biter towards the end! "Rovers here, Rovers there, Rovers every f*cking where, na, na, nana, nana, na, nah!!!!" Edited December 22, 2020 by darrenrover 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iacok Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 DR, I was there. Got there late and they put us behind the goal. A flyer was handed out at the next home game with the song lyrics (I've still got the flyer somewhere) Sung to the Tune of 'The Floral Dance' (I kid you not) 'I thought I heard the curious tone of the Burnley fans as they start to moan. Hard to smile when you're three goals down Rovers giving you the run around. Sometimes It's hard to win away but not at Burnley on a Boxing Day.

I was right in line with that goal at the Anfield Road end and I agree, it was an unbelievably sweet strike on the turn, right in the postage stamp. Of all the thunderbolts in that top ten, my favourite of that crop was the Bellamy goal at Portsmouth. Very few players could have scored that goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyblue Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) Many of us certainly did, den, and that’s why panic set in with us very quickly when this lot got hold of this fantastic club...

Merry Xmas All Memories not what it was regarding the lyrics but you got my drift! I was one of the 'lucky few' jammed into the Longside: couldn't move to dodge the flying pints, darts and even excrement in a beer glass that were hurled back and forth over the fence! Same fence that Celtic fans ripped up a few years later and hurled it at the fleeing Dingles running into The Bee-Hole End! Great days, if not a little scary at times, hard to believe that day was 43 years ago! If only Keith Fear and notched with the penalty just after half time, it could have been a rout. Young 'uns these days haven't a clue what it was like back then; utter carnage on occasions. Edited December 22, 2020 by darrenrover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
