Match Thread: Lincoln City v Accrington Stanley

I was at the initial game which was abandoned and just goes to show how the memory works.......could have sworn Peter Taylor played that day.
 
I suspect that the above two entries have become mixed up.....

One talking about Hilaire and the other about Taylor

So well done to both of you for being correct


Yes, it was Taylor I was refering too - 4 full caps (2 whilst playing in the 3rd tier) and two goals for England.

Whilst I was at it, I checked up on Hilaire, he made the 'long-list' England training squad on a couple of occasions, but not the match day one. It's sad to think that was still a big deal back then for a black player.

I was at both Palace home games. I think Venables had left then and an ex captain had taken charge. I think his name could have been Ian Evans.
If memory serves me right I think Dave Smith was brilliant in the second match.
I am sure if I am totally wrong somebody will come on and correct me
Dave Smith scored a brilliant winner, 3-2
 
Major bollock dropped here by club.

Most of potential audience will no doubt be busy at meal time 14th Feb. I was going to buy this match but will not now.

Should have made it sociable time for the fans.

stupid comment, would rather the imps win than how many watch the match.
 
I went to watch England play Holland one Valentines, ( Vassell, scored for England ) in Amsterdam. I mean Amsterdam of all places! - beat that!
Good to see you contribute again Pauli. That was the weekend I finally had the opportunity to find out if your missus' name started with a C or a K

Agreed .Valentines day Christmas ,Easter, Halloween. The original origin is long lost to financial marketing . .Resist the pressure to conform and free yourself from the yolk of capitalism. There were people queing out side M&S Tritton road today .I can only guess it was to purchase those meals for two .Why queue in the blistering cold ?Why fall the marketing trap? The pressure for people to conform to these pressures leads to relationship issues and debt due to commerrcial expectations .It's Bell shit.

So no flowers for oldguard’s partner this year?

I agree though. Valentine’s Day is especially made up. Be nice to your partner all the time, not just when you’re socially obligated to.
 
Peter Taylor had joined Tottenham at the end of October that year.

As well as Kenny Sansom, the other most notable Palace player in that abandoned match was former Arsenal, etc George Graham.
 
After yesterday’s results I am only interested in a win - please. Early goal for us would be a help to settle the nerves - Accy would have to come and have a go at us.
 
Massive game for me gives us the chance to open up a decent lead at the top but Accy are always a very difficult game.

Can never remember us playing on a Sunday evening before and could this be one of the biggest threads ever already on 9 pages and still the morning of the match,
 
Half my back grass is playable, the other half needs a bit of forking, and you would need to dodge around the flower bed. Will leave the marking out until morning.

Going to be touch and go then.
With it being a 6pm ko have you managed to have some floodlights installed. Shouldn't of cost you more than £250,000 or you've been ripped off. Or are you just going with all the house lights turned on full blast.
