tangerinedream said:No, that was when Wellens beat three, sprayed it to Hills on the left, Tommy Jash overlapped and Hills poked it in front of him measuring the pass to perfection, the roll of the ball meant Tommy didn't even need to break stride. Jash's wandlike foot whipped a cross in and Murphy hung in the hair like a hen harrier and then pounced on the ball, sending it bullet like into the bottom right corner of the goal.
We lost 3-2 though. I still think about that goal when I am going to sleep sometimes. It was magnificent, beautiful and that Argentina goal will never, ever be in the same league.
Or Murphs scored v Brizzle City from twenty five yards and we won 5-1. That was good.![]()

All I said was that it was a bit speculative and those sorts of goals often get called "great" when they are more lucky than great. I'm not denying the skill to do it. Steve Gerrards two goals so far were better than Coles goal.

Worst night ever that was.

tangerinedream said:Please bin this thread. It's upsetting me.
You do know the game was fixed don't you?

tangerinedream said:Conspiracy Theory one = Our Chairman did not want the cost redeveloping the ground should Allardyce keep us up (which he undoubtably would have done, given the quality of our squad and his golden touch in the transfer market)
Conspiracy Theory two = Our on-loan goalkeeper (who was not anywhere near as good as No1 Steve banks) was at the heart of a betting fix. We lost 3-0 and were as listless as I have ever seen and Allardyce was wierdly sacked about two weeks later. No-one really knows why.
Theory Three = Fucking typical Blackpool

We need to compare notes...

tangerinedream said:Doesn't Richmond openly he admit he ruined the club in '9 days of madness' which included buying Carbone didn't it and a few others who I can't recall. I'm sure it's in one of David Conn's books.
Not dissing Carbone as a player at all.
jonnyd1978 said:Yeah! I think we need a new thread split for these threads! <MOD!!!>
Richmond admits to 2 weeks of madness! Carbone, Petrescu and Collymore are the names usually thrown into the ring! But there were others...not in the 2 weeks!
We gambled our future and lost as is the way! But I'll say to any football fan who looks to the Bradford situation and blames Carbone.....DON'T!!! Nobody here does! He was one of the many pawns. He was a high earing pawn hence his publicity but that was not his fault. He signed a contract..that is all.
JTG said:sorry but spending ludicrous sums of money and nearly sending the club broke makes the man a cunt
just because ITV digital's lawyers are clever and the League's chairmen were very, very stupid does not excuse it
