I've just been going through a load of my old Pool programmes and found the programme and ticket stub from this game. I must've erased it from my memory as I don't remember a single thing about it. I looked it up and found a vid on YouTube of it, and Eyresy scored twice, pointing to his PNE badge and telling the Pool fans to fuck off after the first goal! Scouse bastard!

Anyway, if you're a masochist, here is a link to the video:

 
I remember it well. I stormed out of the game after the 3rd goal. My mate was absolutely fuming and kicked a poor bloke off his pushbike outside.
 
Bloody hell remember it well. Plenty of trouble before the game. Terrible evening on the pitch ☹️
blackpool fans were in the other end that night .
 
No thanks. Another vomit inducing moment I would rather forget.🤢

Who was the 'went down in installments' goalkeeper?
 
Anyone got a link to the game in 1987 when we stuffed them 3-0 with only ten men. A far better day, on and off the pitch.

Ten Men Three Bastards Nil was the chant ringing out around town that night. Its on YouTube somewhere I'm sure.
 
Was this a sky TV game? Remember it lashing down all through the match and being stood in the away end drenched.

No that was the 96 Friday night game, the YouTube one is from 99 but was a day match in winter. Think we played Arsenal the week after?
 
Shudder. This was from the season we went down and they pretty much walked the league. If memory serves me correct we played a very defensive formation, Big John Murphy was suspended and Junior Bent pretty much ran the front line himself. We managed to hold on until 70 minutes or so and they scored three late goals.

Only positive thing about remembering this is the thought that ten years from that game we would be on our way up to the Prem whilst they were just beginning their financial woes which saw them relegated from the championship the following season. If you'd have said that to any Pool fans leaving Deepdung that evening I'm not sure any of us would have believed it, even in our wildest dreams...
 
Ugh I was there. We were in the side stand opposite the Finney stand. Got pissed before but sobered up pretty quickly.

Eyres loved scoring against us

I remember having a face to face argument with Vicki and Karl Oyston several weeks before this over the hapless Worthington...they said we like him and he's going nowhere!

I think he said something along the lines of 'I've taken this team as far as I can', we must have been bottom three at that point.
 
I have no recollection of that at all. Our defending was woeful though, and what's with the wall being 15 yards back for the first one?

A certain derby moment that also happened in 1999 should help soothe some of those reopened scars. First clip of the montage - SUPER BRETT, INJURY TIME WINNER AT DEEPDALE:

To this day that match is still one of my all time favourites, definitely in my top three. I was at school in Preston at the time and all week my "friends" had been on about how many they were going to put past us (and to be fair, we weren't very good towards the end of that season and had most of our "best" players out injured). But I can still see in my mind the ball coming across at the far end and Brett nodding it past Fatty Lucas.

What made it even sweeter was that David Moyes came out afterwards and said that defeat cost his team promotion!

We went down, Macca couldn't stop it, both PKE and Burnleh went up automatically.

Not a great season.

Yeah, Oldham relegated us. IIRC, it was in the last few minutes at Boundary Park and it kicked off a lot after the game in the car park. It also took ** ages to get out of there!
 
I was away at Uni for the Preston game, but I was at Oldham the day we went down.
This has reminded me about all the aggro at the end of the game as we were leaving.
 
The Cheaterfield game after that was possible the most depressing 90 minutes of all time, two relegated teams, about 3k there.
 
That was the only time I saw us lose at Dumpdale. Worthless played Junior Bent up front on his own, the poor bugger was only 2'11" and stood no chance.
For the poor schmucks who were still there at the final whistle you'll remember the vitriol Worthless got when he came over applauding the fans.
His sacking was inevitable.

Ryan Sugden. 94th minute equaliser. Got in the car to hear Preston won the league. Worst day of my life

Weren't we 2-0 up in that game, only for David Reeves to equalise for them in injury time? One of the few times I raised a smile that season was at the end of that game when we went on the pitch and us and the Cheaterfield fans on the Kop singing "going down going down going down" at each other.
