After 60 minutes Manchester United found themselves 3-0 down in Hillsborough - then this happened.
Morning all, grey & wet out there today in the republic but quite refreshing. I think Iโll probably be feeling more glum this time tomorrow.
Hereโs a great song for your day.

1st May 1976, I paid my first visit to the Old Wembley stadium for the FA Cup final v Southampton. I was set to see United win a trophy for the first time. But it just never happened. We all know it was offside, but it still hurts 48 years later. #MUFC#UTFR#GGMU#ManUtd
@1968Tv Look how many united fans in the clock end but also at the United fans in the north bank when arsenal go 2-1 up as they donโt celebrate & stick their fingers up etc at the arsenal players.
Uniteds following In the 60/70 & 80s was unrivalled
I was stood on the Stretford end that day. I think Alex scored that penalty at the Scoreboard. I also think Alex was our top scorer for a while ๐คฃ๐คฃ But where did those 50 years go ๐ฎ
๐พ๐ช On this day in 1973 United beat Birmingham 1-0 thanks to a goal from the penalty spot by @AlexStepney1 , the game also marked the start of Bestie's last spell at United , I was there to see it ๐พ๐ช
@stefanosbowers Queued up up overnight for plenty of tickets especially 70โs cup finals. But the time I remember most was 77 we were drawn away at the Dell in FA cup.The season after they beat us at Wembley (offside goal, no VAR ๐คฃ) anyway got to OT at midnight on a Saturday and got my ticket
Elton John performed in Aberdeen the day my dad died and we later found out he did this. Tonight Iโll have a drink whilst watching the legend himself at Glastonbury. ๐ A little light relief in this darkness.
๐ โMan City still have a way to go to be considered a major club in the world.โ
โ โTheyโre not Man Utd, Liverpool, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munichโฆโ
Shaun Custis argues #MCFC still arenโt considered a world giant in football
It was a great day and a brilliant win, especially following our loss against Southampton the year before (goal was offside, where was VAR ๐คฃ) being the โtreble bustersโ was the icing on the cake. 22 years later we got out reward.
