I agree the EFL rules have been crackers The absolute worst thing now is though that the genie is out of the bottle and cannot be reversed Anything can be sued over now and it can only really get much worse I wonder how football is going to cope with it, and wonder if any others sports (american football/basketball etc) suffer from this poison? 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMOwl72 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) 1. 1979 Wednesday 5-0 Rotherham. 2. Brian Marwood & Lee Chapman then David Hirst 3. Chris Waddle probably pips a good few other for me 4. Kaiserslautern @home atmosphere fantastic 5. Coventry City away quarterfinal of League Cup 1990/91 6. Nou Camp (not watching Wednesday unfortunately! 7. Too many to pick. A couple that stick out though are Hirsty’s turn and run from the half way line v Hull City and his opener v Aston Villa in the first match of the season. 8. Kaiserslautern 9. Nilsson, Walker, Lyons. 10. Far too much money in the game. Edited August 3, 2020 by GMOwl72 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
