That save by grapenthin at the end is one of the greatest I've ever seen....couple of years previous to this Jena played my team West Brom in the UEFA cup and he was immense then....they were a damn good side back then

[@piet72]

It was one season earlier... in 79/80 against WBA. Greeeetz from Jena 😉👍

[@Eck-1903]

Grapenthin...Sprotte...ein Fach der Beste!! Danke für die Paraden...werden wir nie vergessen.

[@FCNFan456]

Genau

[@asd36f]

Two fantastic saves by Grapenthin in the 2nd half!

Great to watch this game again and to see Somerton Park so full, what a good team Newport had then and how unlucky they were that night. Nice to see Newport having a good run in the FA Cup this season and sure they will give my team Man City a good game in the next round. I am old enough to remember City getting knocked out by Halifax & Shrewsbury, surely can't happen again, can it ? Good luck to Newport and their fantastic supporters for the rest of the season and coming seasons.

Sie haben vorher zuviel gefeiert,im Pub,sagt man. 😏

[@jacacc12]

@@Kufencrack Ich bin sicher, die Spieler von Carl Zeiss Jena hätten auch in der Kneipe gut gefeiert. Der Torhüter von Carl Zeiss sah sehr gut aus. Alles Gute für 2023.

@@jacacc12 ,danke ebenso.

A rare gem, tx for sharing ! Back when Welsh and Scottish clubs were dangerous in European tournaments

[@allendodson1792]

I remember LISTENING to the last part of this on the BBC World Service. If there was ever a match that turned me into a football fan, though, it was this one, in spite of the result

[@paulwilliams8389]

Remember listening to this game on Radio Wales. Lost count of the number of times I heard the commentator (I think it was Ron Jones) say "It's there!!! No... off the line!"

[@Pragwo1f]

Thanks for a great upload. I remembered this cup run as I watched highlights of the defeat of Leeds. It seems to me one of those last gap clearances was in fact well over the line. The result was a travesty.

[@stevecreamer5289]

Great memories ..when cup competitions really meant something ..eg...Welsh Cup..FA cup..League Cup...and then came along the Premiership...and everything changed ..gutted....If anyone disagrees just watch Villa v Everton 1977 league cup Final..2nd Replay...yes that's right Second replay....

[@robknight7676]

I was one of the ball boys from St Andrews School, proud night. I did feel the ball went over the line at least once though..

NEWPORT COUNTY TILL I DIE

[@CoalMiningTown]

Welcome back been along time.

[@johnsbox]

I have rarely seen a match in which a team had so many opportunities, off the lines, posts, bars, saves etc. only for the opponents to win. It can only happen in football. The strength was the defence and one contra killed the result.

[@wehrmacht6123]

i am from georgia georgian team is dinamo tbilisi and do you remember our final so in that time jena, dinamo, feynoord, and west ham were best team in the world but in this time they cant do enything so this is not good

[@piet72]

And Jena won against Roma, Valencia and Benfica... not even worse 😁

[@michelgouverneur885]

where are they now ?

[@x.n.9057]

4th League. 😢

newport can't qualify for europe now as they don't play in welsh cup anymore...they would have to get to final of fa cup now to have a chance of more European glory nights.
