Off the top of my head was it 2 2 that game?

 

What a day.

 

Aye 2-2, as memory serves the equaliser came from a throw in we got when a Burnley player put the ball into touch when DeFreitas was down injured. Taken by the living legend Super John McGinlay...

A Blast from the past!!!, i remember it well, pretty sure this is the game that Simon Coleman made his debut!!

Quality game, I never thought id see more inbred people than those from Blackburn, until I went to Burnley!!!

 

Happy Days

94/95 season , he got injured a few months before the end of the Promotion season !! remember him being class for us, but i dont think he really got back into the team after his injury.

Looking at that Photo reminds me of how much better Standing up in the terraces was!!

Who is the Burnley number 10 that Jimmy Phillips is stood next to?

 

Is it Adrian Heath?

 

For the record, this was the game that Nicky Spooner had his leg broken by that fcuking dirty bastard John Gayle.

It's not Heath.

 

His name makes a phrase with Heath though

I tell you what the noise that we made under that roof was tremendous.

 

Always looked forward in going to Burnley. And I'm sure the Burnley fans always enjoyed our company too. Home or away these matches were always proper ding dong do's.

 

Japs eye time.

Aye, remember it well, happy days, as we were driving home a cop van pulled in front of us, a couple of coppers opened the back doors while 3 others bundled one of the Athy Whites in the back. He got home about 10.30 that night after getting a taxi from Burnley cop shop and doing a runner up Hag Fowd

Beltin' photo :good:

 

For some reason myself and a few others had tickets for the stand opposite the Wandererss fans (Bob lord stand?) that day, the local retards weren't very happy when we all jumped celebrating our late equaliser. It wasn't for the faint hearted after the game too iirc.

Funny this thread should crop up tonight. I've just got back from Marine V. Frickley (Northern Premier).

Frickley apparently had been 3-0 up at Gateshead with 16 mins to go in their last away game, and lost. (Anyone remember the Whites at Chelsea & Watford ?). Someone said 2 Frickley men sent off.

So this afternoon, 3rd at home to bottom, Frickley went 3-0 up in the 39th minute. Sadly, by half-time, it was 3-1 and they'd had 2 men sent off - again.

The whole second-half with 9 men, as bottom club, and they held on to win 3-2. Now that's bravery & determination & commitment.

Natch, Marine being Merseyside (Crosby), the air was blue with home whingers. Added to my enjoyment anyhow.

:roll:
