Think once Murphy saw Hynes had been sent off he jumped off the stretcher, ultimate gamesmanship.

It was in my mind to mention this as well, but I couldn’t remember if that really happened, or it was just my imagination, we were only there for the day with school, then a visit to the London palladium to see the famous Michael Bentines flea circus, or the Harlem Globetrotters can’t remember which final included which after match show. Do schools still run cup final trips, or is that not a thing now.

You lose an interchange if you name a player outside the 21 man squad in your team, think you can still change player if they are injured in warm up.

Hi Rider. My first Wembley was with Sir Christopher Wren High School, the water splash final The Black and White Minstrels Show in the evening. Walking home down a deserted Hessle Road, in the early hours of Sunday morning, I was picked up by a Copper and escorted home to Somerset St. Nothing like that would happen now, a Copper on the beat, early hours, Sunday morning and especially The Minstrel show. Ahhh, innocence of youth.

Fabulous Armavinit, we probably was on the same train that morning, I’ve said before the rain was bouncing of the railway station on arrival, the drama of the ending of the game was etched in all our memories, funny how you got to see the superb black & white minstrels, and we got the crappy Bentines flea circus, I also remember our school got a letter from the palladium asking all pupils to hand in the opera glasses provided at the theatre, as dozens of them went missing, you needed them to see the fleas apparently LMFAO,

Not a TV game but next week's opponents Wakefield currently 22-0 up at home to Warrington as it nears half time.

They’re certainly fighting to stay in SL and on current form looks like Cas are the ones most likely to finish bottom.

Next week certainly no easy game and need huge improvement on Thursdays performance.

Indeed. If Cas lose at home to Huddersfield on Friday which looks likely then Wakefield will know that beating us will lift them off the bottom. A real tough game on our hands next week.

Bonkers, FWIW, I think Wakey and Cas will both lose, hopefully Wakey anyway and it will be all on when they play each other. Radford’s tenure as a coach, I the later stages with us and at Cas, has a lot to answer for. Lasty trying to put Radder’s wrongs right will probably cost him his future as a coach.

Re: TV Games - Not Hull : Sun Jul 30, 2023 3:27 pm  

What a comeback from Wakey, 6 weeks ago there were down, amazing what one player can do to lift a club.

Think we might see two coaching casualties with Last and Powell gone.
