And thats on the Ankle deep muddy pitches.

Didn’t Spurs not come to Pools with out Lineker and a few others after bearing Pools at WHL ?

I believe you are correct. Also Gazza came on as a sub at Pools.

Aye, the crowd was boosted by star struck young lasses screaming when he came on….how times have changed

We were in the Town End and it was one of those matches I never really enjoyed…l always got peed of when the never been or never goes turned up for the big matches, even though we needed the money.

Ayresome Park & Roker Park.

Never been in Gruesome Park even though I passed it for five years on the wa6 to college…and only been to Roker Park once and that was for Cup replay in the early 70’s…no point, Polls don’t play there, so as a Poolie fundamentalist I couldn’t go.

I went once to Ayresome Park in 1981. The was to see the great Georgie Best in Jim Platts testimonial. Bestie was unbelievable what a player. He played against his friend Platt and straight from the kick off he shot 45 yards against the bar wow what a effort that was. He was total quality and the Boro fans kept singing sign him on.
Only went to Roker Park once to see Poolies and that wonder goal from a corner by Honour.

Before seat belts were invented. Would like to know the before and after figures of deaths / serious injuries etc. I remember a lot of people did not want belts fitted because of the worry of getting stuck after a crash and burning or drowning. I would also like figures on the airbags. Both have been good inventions but not without problems.

" This is the voice of the Mysterons "..

Used to love the programmes in the 60’s when I was in primary school that show what life would be like in the 90’s with everyone having their own flying car in the garage and robots doing all the work…what a load of bollocks.

they are like concept cars that we hear about that never make the production line. be interesting for todays youngsters watching todays futeristic stuff and look back at em in the 2050,s. never know things might go full circle and we have things in our life that actually work or keep us warm.

I might be wrong, age blurs the memory but

England played west Germany in 1966 at the vic

Schoolboys?

Tomorrows World, I remember when they featured the CD, I can’t remember what ever else actually came to fruition ?

they never mentioned in years to come you could watch pools home and away every game if you had some divice to do it on.

Do any of you remember around 1976/7 one evening when the t.v was taken over by a weird man's voice saying something along the lines of " We are currently above the UK in a spacecraft ..we have been watching you for many years..we come in peace and do not mean you any harm " then his voice faded out and the screen returned to normal service.

Who did you buy your gear off,

Did you wake up suddenly, inadvertently see a bit of a moon landing documentary then fall off to sleep again…..l

I know it sounds totally mad but it did happen 100% I am now going to try to look it up and get back to you. Or maybe you are correct

Found it 1977 and the name behind the voice was Vrillion. It talks about putting down weapons for peace etc Look it up under Vrillion. It definitely happened and cut in on a live broadcast. No one was able to work out the who why or what. However was behind it blocked the TV station and took over for around 5 mins.

Vrillion

Vrillion… …sounds like a sink cleaner.

If your sink is full of shite.
And you’d like it nice and bright,
Don’t waste time and be a silly un,
Pop out now and buy Vrillion.
That sounds more like it, just need a tune to go with it

Your off it man

Snowy off it, Thats a bold statement, Maybe RatBoy.

Better still, our lass is off out of town with one of my lads to buy a ‘lady friend’ for Ratboy….this could be fun

When do the tcks go on sale, And are you doing a dvd.
Asking for a friend.

Ruby arrives Sunday….I wonder if we can rename her Bodeicea

I remember my Grandad took me to the barbers once, and the barber said what do you want son.. I said I want my hair cutting like Captain Scarlet... My Grandad said just give him a short back and sides.

I was a six year old with a 60 year old hair cut.. Including brylcreme.

My mum went off it when she found out.

This was when longhair was common.

Ps I now have my captain Scarlet hair cut, result.

So you’ve finally got an haircut from 50 years ago love it.
I’ve got the haircut from just after I was born

bloody lads haircuts. could not wait till i got into my teens to choose which barber i went to and how i wanted my hair.remember taking a copy of the football star to a barber in halifax and told him i wanted mine like norman oakley. far better than looking like an extra from peeky blinders that most lads had to suffer.

Will there be some baby rat boys coming along soon ?

I could blow up a small garden shed with the chemicals from my 200 in 1 chemistry set,snowy.

It’ll be a miracle if it does, he had the chop to ‘calm him down’ aka Randy Pandy and his new lady friend had the ladies version done today….. so that’s one Ray of sunshine.

Mad Cow Disease - weren't we as a race forecast to be doomed to be a nation full of raving lunatics by now?
Fortunately it looks like it's only affected minority environmental and woke fanatics, unfortunately its struck most of that hugely influential minority group in Westminster (600 odd MPs and HOL).

well its an odds on certainty that many caught it or was it something to do with those who caught covid early as all the shit we are getting seemed to start in that period. the wokeites have gone from stengthto strength since then with climate change, 20 mph speed limits, ULEZ, BLM, trans crap with men having babies and the only rainbow seen are on kids pictures and hospital crossing places. even younsters think like us but will only admit it if none of there pears are listening.

Question Time on Thursday night was quite ‘lively’ to put it mildly,, the Tory MP Steve Brine got a bit of flak from Writer and climate activist George Monbiot, TBH it takes a lot of bottle for any Tory MP to be on the panel. What these climate activists don’t realise you just can’t turn the taps off on fossil fuel, the alternatives aren’t there yet and expecting people to pay a fortune for a Heat Pump and an Electric Car is a non starter.

it took nearly 40 years from the invention of the motor car until it became widely available to many. then it took another 20 odd for it to be available to the masses. they want this condensing into a period of under 10 years without the infastructure to back it up. if there had been very few filling stations at the growth of the petrol car numbers they would never have grown. like videos and DVD,s heat pumps and electric cars will become cheaper in time and not just for the rich minority.

Great post Accrington, I wish all the greenies would think like this, Peter Hitchens more or less pointed this out on Question Time saying the U.Ks efforts to reduce our carbon outputs are very minimal and would make no difference to stop global warming.The greenies then say the rest of the globe will take notice of GREAT Britains efforts to stop global warming and follow suit, will they s****,Britain is no longer Great, the Empire disappeared years ago.

i seriously doubt most of the greenies are at the top of a love they have for their own country. possibly they are the ones who knock it at every opportunity and is only great in their eyes because it suits them. for many other countries i imagine we,ll be a laughing stock on the subject like we would laugh if another small insignifcant country came out with something similar. there is a large continent called south america and we never hear a word from it regarding this issue.

What I find incredible is the sheer ignorance of these climate chancers.
If we had no oil or coal we’d have no steel or plastics, how would we live, unless they’re planning to go back to some utopian never land where fields are ploughed with wooden ploughs, but what could we get to pull the ploughs as they won’t allow the ‘abuse’ of animals and machinery is then extinct…… we’d be in the Stone Age without the furs.
The world as we know it would cease and the eco loons would still be trying to make their plant based mobile phone work,

The earth will dispose of mankind when it feels fit, To actually think we can save the planet is the height of arrogance/ignorance.
The earth is more than capable of saving it self, And if it has to destroy to do so it will.

The Ice Age began 2.4 million years ago and ended only 11,500 years ago….what caused the warming that ended the ice age… Can’t have been fossil fuels, industry and cars….so it must have been the Earth re-setting itself…..these people are the result of sheltered woke lives over the past fifty years…and a belief in their own grossly misplaced genius.

Arrange for them to be shipped some where there is no fossil fuels, see how they cope then.
