A thread for those of us that remember proper football back in the 70s and 80s before Sky!
Proper Grounds, proper Kits, proper fans too. Days when all the cup competitions actually meant something!

Nearly right.

Bristol City v Forest in 1980 - look at the state of that pitch
Re: Proper Football in the 70s and 80s before those W***ers at Sky killed it.
Aye... I remember that game. Looks like Gerry Gow in that picture with our Viv.

Things weren't LIVE back in those days...
They were "IN COLOUR!!!!"

Ford Capri, just out of shot.
„I believe in socialism because it seems more humanitarian, rather than every man for himself and 'I'm alright jack' and all those arsehole businessmen with all the loot. I made up my mind from viewing society from that angle. That's where I'm from and there's where I've made my decisions from. That's why I believe in socialism“
„Don't forget you're alive. 'Cause sometimes when you walk around the city and you're in a bad mood, you can think, hey, wait a minute, we're alive! We don't know what the next second will bring and what a fantastic thing this is. This can get easily forgotten in the routine of life, and that's something I'm trying to bring to my attention at all times. Don't forget you're alive. We're not dead, you know. This is the greatest thing.”

It was Viv's.
Re: Proper Football in the 70s and 80s before those W***ers at Sky killed it.
Nah, not a Capri in sight.

I loved the tables and team tabs you got in Shoot/Match
Re: Proper Football in the 70s and 80s before those W***ers at Sky killed it.
Yes.
Re: Proper Football in the 70s and 80s before those W***ers at Sky killed it.
Aye... same here. By the time it was Bonfire night, I'd lost half of the tabs!
Re: Proper Football in the 70s and 80s before those W***ers at Sky killed it.
I started off all eager and enthusiastic in August, but had got fed up by early September.Aye... same here. By the time it was Bonfire night, I'd lost half of the tabs!

Re: Proper Football in the 70s and 80s before those W***ers at Sky killed it.
Wolves, Cardiff, Swansea & Burnley in the 4th division
Forest 3rd in the First
I'd like this order of things reestablished
Re: Proper Football in the 70s and 80s before those W***ers at Sky killed it.
Does it refresh when there's a new standings object returned from the API?
Re: Proper Football in the 70s and 80s before those W***ers at Sky killed it.
Match Magazine used to include the Conference too. When I was with Farnborough Town in my Army days the promotion to non-league big time really hit home when we had our own tab.
Re: Proper Football in the 70s and 80s before those W***ers at Sky killed it.
Shoot, way back when, used to include the League of Ireland too.
I know this due to an unfortunate incident where the next-door neighbours‘ dog accidentally swallowed Dundalk.

Derby playing on their bog in the Uefa cup in 1974. Look at the state of the goal areas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e5wv7gqSVY
Re: Proper Football in the 70s and 80s before those W***ers at Sky killed it.
With Rocka's kind permission, I'd like to make reference to the '60s, when games always ended with the final-whistle being blown at twenty-to-five on-the-dot (or ten-past-nine for night matches), none of this "Fergie Time-plus" nonsense.
