A Crystal Palace fan has just made a short film about Palace's exclusion from the UEFA Cup in 1991 despite coming third in the First Division. It followed UEFA's decision to cancel Liverpool's post-Heysel three year ban from Europe after only one year. Mainly, no doubt, one for Eagles fans but may be of interest to others as a textbook illustration of the power of big teams at the expense of "less fashionable" ones.

Yes Manu your forward line is very very fast (why do you need Sancho another 'Man of Pace')....and when you get in on goal an advancing crisp packet can stop with ease....
....no names mentioned....pollo sin cabeza....skill levels behind Fernandes - those of a Womble....
....I don't like it,but....Sevilla tactical fouling - a master class....and all 11 on field at end....Last edited by eighthobstruction; 17-08-20, 10:12.bong ching

Of course, getting into Europe doesn't always, ( or ever in our case, after around 10 efforts at it ) end well. But to be deprived of your first chance is rough, esp when the defunct DDR had four vacant slots.
Good to see Geoff Thomas in action, one of those very good players who is mostly remembered by fans of other teams for one piece of poor play. And what a combo Bright and Wright were.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Yesterday morning, I tried to explain to a friend - one whose opinions I greatly respect- why I thought it was still worth watching at least one BBC News bulletin every day. Following their decision to make an interview with a grossly overpaid semi-articulate soccer player the lead item in their main news bulletin last night, I shan't bother trying to defend them next time we meet.Last edited by LMcD; 28-08-20, 20:57.

Well that's about as jammy a win as the Scots will ever get. The Czechs got themselves into a bit of corona problems and had to field a team composed of players only two of whom had any international experience...that's exactly the kind of opponents who are likely to stuff the Scotland National outfit. But not tonight...sneaked past them 1-2 to top the group. Blinkin' Jammy!...but in a nice way!
