Best rule change ever imo.

It was more than a rule change, it virtually made it a different game. It's almost impossible to watch a game from before 1990 these days. Even the two-nil at Anfield you watch it and think 'Fùck me, this is awful'. The violence of the tackling is the most entertaining thing about large stretches of the game.

Also, how did anyone concede goals if they didn't want to? If you were one up with ten minutes to go, you could literally just keep passing it between the defenders and the goalkeeper. The only thing to stop you was a sense of shame or embarrassment.

Well that was a huge key to Liverpool's dominance at the time - Hansen to Lawrenson to Grobbelaar to.... - they just shut down games once they'd scored.

Which, on Friday 26th May 1989, they didn't

And the 70/71 double team. Once we'd scored we were almost certain to win. 1-0 to The Arsenal indeed.

Indeed. It was hardly required a tactical genius to work that one out, though, did it?

Mine too. I'm quoting from the old boys on the North Bank.

no, but they seemed to do it better than anyone else could.

And that's why we hate Liverpool.
