Chileans don’t mess about

One player had to be escorted off by police

2-0 Chile and two Italians sent off

But not quite the "battle of Santiago" WC 1962, Hosts Chile versus Italy. Can't remember the score but think it was 1-0 Chile? Some X certificate tackles

OTD - lucky Bassett wasn't playing or it could have been 7 reds!

OTD - IIRC four of the sendings off (sending offs?) were at the same time from one incident. We were left with 8v8. I heard afterwards if either side went to fewer than eight players the game would have been abandoned.

That is probably my favourite "On This Day" ever. Wish I'd witnessed it :)

OTD - that Wealdstone game was something else with all the players sent off.

It was. And even the chance that Spurs might be just one division above us next season is pretty cool.

I'm not a youngster and I couldn't resist joining that chant. I also texted a tottenham mate after with tottenham away ole ole. It was fun for a few days to have that fantasy.

When I say we I mean the youngsters behind the goal as I’m too long in the tooth to celebrate too early

I wasn’t, CW. Same as I wasn’t singing “we are staying up” after we scored at Wigan. Well not until full time there and at Burton was confirmed.

When we beat Blackpool we were singing Tottenham away ole ole

Orient we're pretty good that night and their fans were singing "We ate staying up, say we are staying up"

Trig; also Ballard putting one over the bar that was probably easier than the chances he took against us

Since beating us 4-2 at Plough Lane Orient have only scored 4 goals in 8 games

Anyone seen Blackpool’s goal against Leyton Orient from Saturday? Sort of thing that happens when you’re at the wrong end of the table. Blackpool get given a softish penalty. Sends the keeper the wrong way but hits the post. The ball bounces across the six yard box and hits the keeper’s studs and goes in.

Didn't realise that Maynard was York's manager either

Any games involving Salford, Franchise and Bromley could be dubbed El Plastico

One thing about the possibility of Crawley getting relegated is that the would increase the chances of the (un)holy Trinity of Franchise, Bromley and Salford coming up to L1

“Bit like Barnsley…” where Goodman went when Huddersfield had had enough of him. Their fans did not take to him at all unfortunately. Dunno how he is perceived by Barnsley fans I only know one and she doesn’t talk to me anymore:-s

do we yet know what offence under the laws of the game, Terry was given his red card? Knocking the ball away (by a player) is a yellow card, so if it is a yellow for member of team staff, then why the red?

When we played away at Huddersfield they were good coming forward but couldn’t defend bit like Barnsley. They had a Goodman in goal who they got rid of and their best player was Leo Castledine who went to Middlesbrough

Bulls in playoffs tom night with Whytleafe out there free on YouTube if you want to watch it 745 ko full house in the ground winners play Fri night either Croydon or sittingbourne

Huddersfield have massively underachieved, I tiped them to win the league after their first game of the season after they beat orient 3 -0, they were mighty impressive
