At least we didn't concede 8 yesterday! Video footage: Brighton 2-8 Bristol Rovers

Painful to watch - as a very young lad I was mates with Nick Deaykin (sp?) and his dad had something to do with the club. This was a game we got free tickets for. Great! And kids these days think they have it tough. We had to lick the tarmac on the way home! Think there were quite a few scores in those days to challenge the videprinter!

Yes, it painful to watch. Atrocious defending by Normall Gall on the first goal!

Here's Brian Clough's response to the game......

At least in that 2-8 defeat we had a few shots on target-and scored 2. Yesterday we didn't have one shot on target did we? Their goalkeeper could have rented and used a sunbed behind his goal for all the 'work' he had to do.

Great to see the Goldstone in its pomp. Rovers looked a seriously good team.

GR - that is nostalgic brilliance! :bowdown:

Brian Clough talking about the Albion? You'll be saying that a former Juventus midfielder took over as manager next!

Mind you, spot the bloke in the east stand moaning (for those who never went, the east stand OWNED moaning before computers were discovered) about the shit football, food and toilet facilities!

Remember it well - Bannister and Warboys were major names in the division - absolutely prolific scorers - though with space like they had on this particular day ...

I was at the game, but this is the first time I've ever seen the TV highlights though!

I think this was a few days from when we were beaten by Walton and Hersham in the Cup too. At least our season improved from here on, our kit looked good too, no ghastly sponsorship crap on the shirts.

Thanks for putting this on. :thumbsup:

Well, blow me down with a feather! It just shows how memory plays tricks on you - I was at that game, and seeing some of those goals going in brings it all (painfully) back to me - but I could have sworn they were in the second half and we were only 2-1 down at half time. Oh well, I must be getting senile as well as old......

........My apologies to anyone I have contradicted about how this match went. It was still a horrible experience to watch it though.

First time I've ever seen clips of this game - have to say Bristol Rovers did look rather good going forward, didn't they?

I thoroughly enjoyed that clip, good to see Norman Gall in action. :lolol:

What a day that must have been. I love the celebrations when we scored at the end there! Chins up all around, brilliant.

What excellent commentary too, I thought. Brian Moore is quite understated and sets the scene and describes the action with well-chosen words - very different from what passes for commentary on ITV these days.
