Putting the away section for a known group of hooligans probably wasnt the brightest idea in hindsight.

Did they really though? From what I saw on TV the brits destroyed the place, hopefully I’m totally wrong but it seemed they bate all around them and got away lightly
Hope you’re right boy as the hooligans reckon they won big-time ( some doc I saw in the past)
I don’t know who won but I never experienced terror and panic, before or after, like I did that night in Lansdowne Road. We were just off to the left when the seats started coming down from the top deck.
Worse was to follow afterwards when we were on a bus out to Sandymount. A gang of about 25 of them tried to hijack the bus. Luckily they got distracted by a row down the road and left us off.

Thom McGinty, aka The Diceman died 25 years ago today. 25 fucking years.
You’d sort of miss the days when Everton didn’t just fold meekly against Liverpool, and would instead even win an odd Derby game before inevitably coming up just short of Liverpool at the end of the season.
The first piece of action here has a tremendous mix up between Brucie and Mark Lawrenson. The sort of thing Brucie was to make a trademark during his career in Derby games but usually got away with.
He dropped some howler later on though.
