Pretty good coverage of a villa side including 'our favourite' Steve Hodge and Andy Gray playing Centre Mid
-
Never a pen
-
The Ref invented that penalty.
-
bizarre decision, good to see us equalize like that.
-
Twelve years later, same score. Savo Milosevic and a last-gasper from Simon Grayson I think, at a pissing Fratton. Savo with the only goal in the replay at a sparse VP.

That all yellow kit evokes some harrowing memories!

Noel Blake, cracking fella

'Allan Evans was taken ill this morning but has decided to start the match'
Legend

I recall going to the replay at Villa Park which we won 3-2 after extra time, watched by just 13,000!

I know that kit is tainted, but in time do you think it will be a classic ?

I was at that game , pretty interesting walk back to the station , we stood out as we were absolutely soaked ,

I went to the replay. It was a good game as I recall. I definitely remember an early Alan Biley goal and an Allan Evans penalty.
-
That was possibly the worst penalty decision ive ever seen given, nearly as bad as some of the perms on show.
-
I went to the replay too and I'm pretty sure Simon Stainrod scored twice?!

That was the other 3-2 home victory over them in extra time in 1983 in the League Cup (after another 2-2 at Fratton Park with another late equaliser!) so the similarities are definitely there.
Stainrod did score twice in the replay along with an Allan Evans penalty with Garry Stanley scoring twice for Pompey.

I went to the replay, one of my earliest games that I can remember, Mick Channon played for them, didn't realize there was only 13000.
-
Why did Kenny Swain leave the Villa just after we won the European Cup, anyone have an insight?
-
Love the 80s classic chant of "here we go"..our away support didnt look great in those dark days of the mid 80s..great to see birchy saving us at the end, god bless him.

14,958. A massive 12,205 in round 4 against Millwall. Better than the 7,678 who turned up to see us stick 8 past Exeter in the LC.

I think it was a two legged tie IIRC...
-
the exeter game was two legs. stainrod scored all 4 in 4-0 win at exeter.
i think
didnt we get 8 in the home leg
im sure i remember gary williams scoring 2. not sure how many goals he scored for us but that probably not many more
-
I was at both Portsmouth home games in 1983 and 1986. I can vividly remember the first one, it was a terrific match and they brought a lot of fans who sang the pompey chimes throughout. I have no recollections of the second game, but that is probably because I try to blot out 1986 when it comes to the Villa.

Any thoughts?
-
I'm not sure if Kenny was injured at the start of the 83/84 season but he only managed two games before we shipped him off to Forest. Maybe Ellis wanted him off the payroll, it wouldn't surprise me. Colin Gibson had been fighting it out with Gary Williams for the left back spot but Williams was moved over to right back.

Kenny Swain got dropped after we lost our first two games and then went to Forest on loan as Viv Anderson was injured. He did well there and Williams did well for us at right back and the deal was made permanent. It was the start of things to come though. The following year Rimmer, McNaught and Morley all went. Three years after winning the European Cup we kicked off the season with four of the Rotterdam sixteen still at the club.

Very interesting Damo, cheers.

I loved that kit, I think I wore the whole thing for 14 days straight in Spain the following summer.

Does anyone know why the Portsmouth player (Gilbert) was sent off?

Graham Turner was a strange choice of manager.

Put that in the Doug Ellis crazy idea's file.

I have said that exact same thing a number of times over the years. Well, when I say 'exact same thing', I don't say it as concisely as you did. I tend to use a number of facts to emphasise my point and even more expletives.

Wasn't this one of the wettest away days ever? Up there with Huddersfield .

Hammered it down. Also the game where I was refused admittance until I'd eaten my pork pie.

Graham Turner has got to be the worst managerial appointment ever!
The way he treated Dennis Mortimer was shocking
