....or what about Brucie popping one in at the East End at the Gate at 43:39?
He doesn't celebrate much.
Gotta love those black shorts..

I will revere Eastville as is our spiritual home, but the gap between the pitch and the tote is ridiculous, miles away from the action. you had a day's hike if you decided to invade the pitch!
Other observations of 70s football on show:
- goalkeepers were rubbish
- defending was Sunday league standard
- kits had 1-11, no names = better

The game then resumed as if nothing was out of the ordinary. A similar thing happened in the Good Friday game against Bristol City in 1976 and there were plenty of minor incursions too, like the time when a lone Tote Ender ran the length of the pitch to try and fight with the Newcastle fans in the Muller Rd End! |

Controversial,
There were good and bad keepers in the 70s no different than today but to say goalkeepers were rubbish is nonsence. England for instance generally had worldclass keepers Banks,Shilton,Clemence just naming three were far better than anything we have today. Forwards had to be better to get past defenders because they would get kicked in the air every week.
The truth is that the only thing that is better these days is that players are a lot fitter than they were in the 70s but that is true about ALL sports. Those who say..so and so would be no good in these days are talking absolute rubbish because players in those days and earliar played for love of the game and because of that would have done everything necessary to get to the same level of fitness as players are these days.
It is not possible to compare decades even because of the changes in fitness levels and the equipment /health improvements that take place.You only have to remember the euphoria of the 4 minute mile in the fifties!!!!

I will never ever forget the sight of hundreds of Soton fans charging across the pitch towards us, stopping near the half way line and turning tail and running back as the Tote poured over the fence - complete with corner flag. I am tempted to say they were the good old days but they weren`t really, the violence was shocking. Still, can`t help your rose tinted memories can you? |

Still, the end product is far, far worse. Contrast modern barca or top end prem clubs with 70s top end. Nowhere near as good. Football has improved in a linear fashion. I'm not on a wind up, but you can't argue that it was better football without a rose tinted monacle. I was raised on early 90s football, which I remember as a great era, but the game is far more professional now. I'd wager our current squad could beat our 1993 team.
My old man goes on about old teams like the forest team etc but I watch it and think it's not far off what I watch at rovers. Old tactics, down wings, no clever triangles (much) and obliging defences who make ridiculous errors.
Football has lost its soul somewhat, it's worse in many ways...but the end product is better.
Btw look at some of the goalkeeping on that video. It's pathetic, no league keeper makes those errors these days. shilton was a great keeper. That Banks save imo was overrated and luck more than anything. I'd wager Peter Czech in his prime would piss over Banks, Shilton, Seaman or Clemence, if you don't re rate for the era.

I think it's the youtube footage is an unfair reflection on 70s football as it's been edited heavily and the name of the poster is Football Gaffes.
Good to see Rovers in a bygone era when we had a bit of respect on the pitch.

Old football was rubbish, but not as rubbish as Andy Cole.

You say Shilton was a great keeper ,which he was, but Banks was a much better keeper than Shilton and was rated the best in the World at his prime. Not a spectacular keeper but his positioning was superb and he made the difficult look easy. Ok I take the point on the football to a degree but is it really entertaining watching the ball being passed about the back four and sideways for long periods? I find it a bit like watching 11 Ray Wilkins. Give me 11 Glenn Hoddles any time.Remember as well that in those days defenders were allowed to tackle (and beyond). Todays strikers get an easy ride most of the time because a lot of defenders are sat on a booking for at least half the game! As regards the goalkeepers the standard of gloves has increased 100 times whereas goalkeepers in the 60s ,70s often had no gloves at all or very poor ones that would probably pass as a gardening glove!!!!

Another glimpse at 30:36 onwards. They've conveniently cut Sh*t getting a pasting at the Gate in the middle...nice of them!
v Bolton at home.
v Southampton at home.
v Ipswich at home.

Good to see Rovers in a bygone era when we had a bit of respect on the pitch. Excuse me for being argumentative on this thread again, but I seem to remember early 90s football involving more fights....lots of big huddles of players pushing and shoving with a ref in the middle trying to break it up. Watch the 92 4-0 Derby video, I'm sure that I remember more of this back then than today. Perhaps this came in in the 90s....certainly players seemed more violent, more leg breaking tackles and fouling....those mass huddles of shoving would see red cards today. More cheating and diving today for sure. |

Should have been Dr Martens, 7 eye, with your patch-pocket flares tucked into the top of those and a scarf tied around your wrist. |
