Pools 2 Derby 1

If u were there u remember !

Milk Cup??
If so lots of fighting going on behind Mill House Stand.

Nope it was the 1st round of the FA cup. The milk cup was about 2 years before!!

I thought Milk Cup was same season but could be wrong.

Great photo in the Mail of Taylor or Dixon goal and pools fans going mad under the lights......prob cos I was a kid but even though Pools weren't great have some really joyous memories ....those where the days

We did play Derby in the league cup the same season as the FA cup win, but the one you're on about was a few years before when we won 4-2 in aet!!

That fa cup game was totally mental, one of those you look back on and can't believe they happened. If it happened nowadays there would be enquiries. Great game on the pitch as well.
The milk cup game in 1982 still goes down as one of the most exciting games I've ever seen.

Was at that game.
Brilliant atmosphere and worst violence ever seen at the Vic during all of half-time.
The Derby fans who thought they were clever going in the Millhouse Seats got absolutely destroyed.
Me half cousin Taylor scoring as well.
Got me n our kid complimentary tickets at Blackpool same season.
Be a shame if the Vic never rocks again.
Last time Rotherham in the EFL trophy.
Sad as fook were we are today.
UTP.

Was also at that 1982 game.
Still remember attendance 3596 but sounded like 10000.
Archie Gemmill playing for Derby.
Superb entertainment with anutha electric atmosphere.

Heartbreaking the shite we getting put through today .

We Deffo played at Derby in 85.
Got beat 3 0.
Paul Dobson goal ruled out for a dubious off side.
Was me 18th birthday.
Went to all them Derby County games over that era.

Great era n memories.

The railway station was a sight to behold!

At least we have the memories Kevin.

refuse to remember games like that as it makes what we are putting up with now harder to take. better to remember the crap as it will drive you mad if you don,t.

Aye remember this copper geting hold of me shoulder and pulling me to one side as a rock was hurtling towards me, Happy Days.
Pretty much like Sheff Ud trying to gey in to the Mill House Pub, Funny as fuck.

And they got a right kicking under the stand.
One shimmied down the drainpipe to get away from the fighting in seats,to be met with a lump of terracing.
Never seen anything like it

We dont seem to have any "big" games now just the same drab stuff.

Nearly every team in this league is an identikit copy of each other, especially the ones down south, typified by a misplaced smugness.

Hmmm..... 1982, I think I was otherwise engaged.

Would that be your work related research into Penguin culture…?

Indeed, they stink!. I was also developing a new found respect for Jack and his work. Until that first week I had no idea of how vunerable they were.

The brother in law was down there with the RAF post war and told me how the pilots would fly the Harriers along past big groups of Penguins and they’d all follow the plane and turn their heads in unison…then turn round and fly back again and watch them turn their heads again, then fly out to sea to turn 180 and fly straight over their heads and as they looked up and all fell over on their backs, thousands of the buggers

We were relatively safe ashore and we watched Jack getting pummelled by their air force. I clearly remember the Antelope blowing up in the darkness and being thankful I as ashore. I have no idea how many of us the Navy saved with their various missiles but it was many. At a huge cost to them. Thank you guys.

I remember Ian Turnbull who was killed on HMS Coventry and it was proposed to name a ward or a street after him, but it never happened, various lame reasons given but Labour Councillors were honoured about that time having streets named after them …that really wound me up.

was 38 then and just wonder what has happened in the 40 years since thats made the world better. even the joke cards i got this morning do not seem as funny as back then.

Snowy, you will be pleased to know that in 2022, Turnbull Inlet, a sheltered inlet running southwest off North West Arm in Port Albemarle, West Falkland was named in honour of Ian.

I didn’t know they’d started naming inlets. Nice touch.

I’m down that way next year, I’ve been to West Falkland but never that far South. I’ll pay a visit and leave an appropriate memorial.

Cheers mate, I never knew anything about that, I like that idea.

Good on you

I was.

Brian Moore was on "The Big Match" commentating on the Newcastle match on the Sunday, and said that the Pools game he was at yesterday was brilliant.

Not sure that he admitted that he went to school with John Smart though...
