BR, if you look at the penalties in the Man Utd v Liverpool game, and at the sending off, you'll see that the referee wasn't left with much choice. Man Utd lost because they didn't play well enough. They often don't play that well against teams which attack them because their defence do not cope well with pressure. Most teams give Man Utd too much respect and don't believe they can beat them. Liverpool had so much to lose that they went for it, and their determination paid off.
The refereeing in this game was first class and very fair. Even the Man Utd players and management have admitted such.
A few years ago York City beat Man Utd 3-0 at Old Trafford.
No conspiracy. Just a team with a will to win.

Talking of the early 70s, I have JK's factfile from a disco 45 magazine in 1971 when he proclaims he wrote a novel as a very young child about a woman that had had several husbands and murdered them all.
That sounds like my kind of read.

Indeed, and you still are of course, which must be why Mike thinks we are the same age.

Even I was a very young, very handsome 26 year old in 1970 Anthony.

How very dare you, Mike! I might look like I was born in the same year as JK, but I've had a very hard life. Very hard life supporting Derby mainly, so I probably do deserve all I get!
