Age may be a factor here but that definitely rings a bell!

Would the FL have allowed a brother of a player who was playing to run the line? Or is this a joke as the lino had the same surname?

Just read the link and it would appear that it was his brother. The FL would have questions to answer if it happened now.

All very well, but was it an offside goal?

Header from Gerry Armstrong in front of the South Stand. I was on the East Terrace that evening and had a clear view. I couldn't understand why the goal had been disallowed, as I'm sure Armstrong out-jumped a Forest defender to score. I was 17 then (46 now), so my memory may be failing me. In the return leg at the City Ground, Pearce won a penalty against Steve Gatting (I think). I have always admired Pearce as a tough-as-nails defender, but he went down as if Gatting had assaulted him. Very un-Pearce like.

Forest should be expelled from the league to knowingly allow a BNP/NF linesman run the line disgraceful. The FA should hang their heads in shame. Corrupt to the core. I bet Blatter knew too.
