Changed days indeed. I'm certain today's Cymdeithas Bêl-droed Cymru would never pick a stadium outside Wales (that's easy for you to say!) Serves them right. Putting money first more or less says, "We might not qualify, but we'll earn a couple of quid." Not a great motivator. And it ended up full of Scottish fans as a result. Not one of them saw a handball. Did democracy not exist in those days?
God remember this game like it was yesterday - I was 13 - game live on the telly back when live games only came around every 4 years for World Cups, England v Scotland & Cup Finals…..Even then I was certain it was big Joes arm that went up & handled the ball….how any Scot cud say otherwise defies belief….Archie biased never 😀😀😀- ref clearly had a soft spot for big Joe 🤣🤣🤣
Btw the Archie drawing is a thing of beauty love that 😍😍😍

To 7 year old me that Dalglish goal was the greatest thing I had ever seen.
I was 7 then too and I agree with you. Kenny seemed to fly through the air.
The hair ... 🙂
Nae nets in the 70s ? 🙂
Good spot. If you watch the video of the game you’ll see that they used invisible nets. It’s these details that matter.
