Just watched The Big Match revisited from 1975.
Luton v Newcastle.
The Luton keeper dived into a group of players to gather the ball. Got kicked full in the face by his own player. His nose burst open, the bridge looked like it was on the side of his face.
The physio came on stopped the bleeding and put a plaster over his nose .
The keeper carried on and made 2 good saves. As Luton went on to win the match.
Cant imagine that happening these days |  | | |  |

Something like that would keep Talksport going for a week at least . |  | | |

A couple of proper old school pitches in the programme as well. What was going on with the Highbury pitch?
In those days of pitches being absolute quagmires from November to March, I remember there's being one of the better ones. Must have been raining for days in London although Luton's was covered in sand as well.
One thing I've noticed from watching these old Big Match programmes when they've featured Arsenal is what a player Alan Ball was. He would be worth an absolute fortune these days. |  |

Graeme Souness said he only played against two players whom "he couldn't get near". one was Zico, the other, Alan Ball |  |

"he couldn't get near".
Presumably means: kick, and wound |  | | |

Quagmire pitches.
A game at Derby a penalty was awarded a grounds man had to find the spot then put a load of sand down.
Different days | | | |

After watching the England V Argentina bloodbath and lots of clips posted on here of QPR from that era I truly believe todays game is the enjoyable of any generation
Of course VAR has fuc*d it up but taking out dangerous play and letting your superstars shine just makes it the way to go.
Its the TV era now for the most part so more scoring and attractive play is the way forward | | | |

On a different note,our local radio issued a yellow warning for ice and snow from 9pm last night until 10pm tonight,and asked us to look after vulnerable people.They then said that the temperature was expected to drop to as low as +2c.
When did we all become such wimps that we are in danger when temperatures get as low as +2 fecking degrees centigrade? |  | | |

Didn’t Highbury have under-soil heating - which in the 70s was a big wow tomorrow’s world state-of-art sort of thing. I think QPR may have tried it but either pointed the heat the wrong way and fried Doug McClure or pointed it the right way and merely warmed up the puddles. |  | | |

We have colours for our weather over here now. The last thing Irish people needed was a device that made us talk even more about weather, but we have one, and we do.
We now have 48 hours of chat about the upcoming orange weather warning, twenty minutes of a bit of wind and 24 hours talking about it after it leaves us. |  |
