Wish our defenders could tackle like this now - 1912 Cup Final

It could also make an interesting quiz question:



"As the match went on, an incident occurred that led to the introduction of a rule that is still in force today. The Barnsley right half Glendenning was off the field receiving treatment for an injured foot. West Bromwich attacked the Barnsley goal and with the Barnsley goalkeeper Cooper beaten, Glendenning ran on to the pitch with one boot on and cleared the ball away from the Barnsley goalmouth. After this incident, a F.A. rule was introduced that stipulated that a player who is off the field must receive the referee's permission before returning."

 

So we cheated a cup win?

 

Wasn't cheating at the time though nt

 

No they changed the rules because we won..

Didn't they change the rules after we scored directly from a throw in once aswell.</p>

its a conspiracy, a tell t' </p>

 

The next thing they'll be changing...

is banning teams playing two foreign strikers of the same nationality because it's obscenely, to the point of unfairly, prolific.

We can dream...
