Everton winning

fixed it for us

 

[Dad watched Dixie]

Do we still have a Toffee Lady at Hill Dickinson? If not, then we need to bring this back!

 

[urquattro]

fixed it for us

That would be a good start, especially at home.

Man of the match (if it hasn't been mentioned)

 

[Duncan’s Pigeon Loft]

Goal stanchions!
Not the crap, bland universal goal nets we all have now.
Wembley, Highbury, White Hart Lane, Old Trafford etc. instantly recognisable and unique because of their goal nets.
The Dell, Baseball Ground, Roker Park... all different shapes.
FA Cup Finals lost something when they took out those brilliant big green stanchions at Wembley for Euro'96.

Now they all look the same.

Absolutely this. In fact I’d have it too if my list.

Bring back the days when you could tell which ground it was just be the nets / stanchions.

Selhurst park used to be one of my personal favourites

Basically, everything was better apart from the boot boys on the terraces.
Watch Big Match Revisited. It's all there, including studio interviews with players the day after the game.

The RS getting penalised for wrong doing. It must have happened at some point in history surely

Couldn't agree more, I used to love the 1st 2 match of the days as a kid to see if any teams had change there goals stanchions/nets from the previous season.

Imagine how much better the new Wembley would be if they brought those old Wembley goal nets with them

Was it just me or did the Goals at The Dell look really hard to score in? The net must have been about 15 inches from the goal line

Male pattern baldness.

Goalkeepers wearing the same shorts as outfield players.

Are you sure?

Not football related but talking about age, a mate sent me this the other day..
