man united v oldham athletic 1990 fa cup semi final replay

[@robbo151973]

remember this so well i was a young lad at the time , wish we could go back to these kinds of atmospheres.

[@michaelmuldowney8]

Semi finals that year were unbelievable. Crystal Palace beat Liverpool 4-3. Man Utd beat Oldham 2-1 after 3-3 draw. 16 goals and 16 DIFFERENT scorers..

[@tonyrowe4701]

or 23 goals in the 2 Semis & Final ... !!

[@deno255]

Dennis Irwin 600k..absolute bargain!!!went to this&the 1st game,I was 16...good times.

[@trudsjones2085]

What an atmosphere it was! My bus fare disappeared in a pub on Wilmslow Road... had to walk back to Heald Green (about 7 miles!) drunk but very very happy

[@jamesmccarthy6764]

Good lad!

[@anandmorris]

Lad!!

[@harrysboy]

What everybody has to remember is back then cup football was nearly 90% of the football that was shown on tv, so it was so much more significant having a good cup run.

[@salfordnick5336]

As a 12 year old kid, this was the most stressful of games....seemed everything depended on it....boy I was one happy lad coming home with my dad that night.....who knew what was to follow but this night started it all sir Alex

[@supafly8558]

This was me...👊🏼

[@supafly8558]

I was on the Kippax for both games with my brother...stress😊

[@Wolfington]

Semis meant something back then - semi replays even more so...

[@marcjohnson7734]

The atmosphere that night was amazing ,back when the F.A cup meant something great memories

[@thevirus7368]

Remember what this meant. Even as a United fan I remember this great Oldham side. Once In a lifetime side.

[@michaelhiggins5612]

The best days, come back to the prem oldham athletic, we miss you , cracking team they had

[@Dead-Ball-Situation]

These highlights miss the Henry goal for Oldham that was disallowed because it was just over the line and there was no VAR then.

[@shanet5604]

Dead Ball Situation Seriously ?? Sure just copy and paste about VAR on every football video so !

[@shanet5604]

Dead Ball Situation Jesus ! You’ve a 9 year old comment further down about the same thing !! Are you fuckin for real ! Get over it you sad fool !!

[@DShamen]

He is right though that it is ridiculous to not show it. It was one of three times that Oldham hit the frame of the goal during the game, only this one was in.

[@kevinmunday5782]

semis at wembley now , takes away the uniqueness of the final.....

[@steve1mufc]

I was at this game at main road. I was 9 and always remember Denis Irwin smashing the crossbar from a free kick and having a great game for Oldham. The season after Fergie signed him.

[@MrIknowbest2]

Great memories, was at this game as a 17 year old

[@craniumjunglist8934]

Back when the fa cup really meant something.

[@dennishill4098]

I was there paid nineteen quid for a ticket ended up in the kipaks with the oldham fans great times

[@shadowpath38]

i remember that Robins goal Fergie was under so much pressure on the brink of being sacked and that goal was the turning point and the rest is history

[@apathyintheuk265]

THAT Robins goal came in the 3rd Rd away at Forest.

[@Bazooka183]

@@apathyintheuk265 If Man U had of lost at any stage in the 1990 FA Cup Fergie would have been out of the door. I was at the 5th round at St James' Park and before and during the game, most of the Man Utd support were baying for his blood. They managed to pull off a slightly fortuitous 3-2 victory again'st 2nd Division Newcastle, and I believe Danny Wallace got the winner!

[@apathyintheuk265]

@@Bazooka183 Or so the belief goes. We've been fed that line for over two decades now. To be fair, it would have been hard to imagine him not being pushed had Utd not won something that season. 4 seasons without any trophy would be enough to test the patience of most 'expectant' owners.

[@3chords490]

You don’t remember very well then......it was Forest away

[@shadowpath38]

@@apathyintheuk265 The Robins goal scored in this game was just as important as Forest if he didn't score that Fergie would of been sacked

[@garrybroadbent8297]

How history could have changed…nick Henry had a perfectly good goal chalked off.

[@markfeeley6094]

How can you exclude one of the most important moments of the game ie Nick Henry's shot which hit the underside of the bar and went over the line. If only VAR existed back then.

[@Bazooka183]

It was that far over the line that you did'nt need VAR......just an unbiased referee and linesman would have sufficed. Absolutely disgraceful upload by the way.....this was the turning point in the whole tie, and it has been conveniently air-brushed aside.

[@marcjohnson7734]

I was right in line with that I was sat in the corner parallel with goal post I thought it had crossed too,but I actually think slippy Jim got the tiniest touch to deflect on to the bar, doubt there's any footage but you're right

[@waz3128]

Ask Fergie, he knows he should have been sacked that night had it been given

[@tag1989]

amazing how football has changed

[@speedy-1299]

kash tag lmao i don’t think they go that crazy at an fa cup game

[@tonyrowe4701]

why did Dave Sexton sell Andy Ritchie ? He got a memorable hat-trick as a teenager against Leeds in March '79, then got dropped for the FA Cup Semi the next week for Joe Jordan !

[@peterreid9769]

Ferguson has so much to thank Mark Robins for. As do all United fans.

[@stonerose99]

why dont these highlights show Nicky Henry's 'goal' that hit the crossbar and landed behind the line ??

[@waz3128]

Fergie made it disappear

[@OmarRooney7]

Wow United looked quite shaky at the back... no wonder Fergie was under so much pressure, but he still had that something special about him... [bringing on Robins- the match winner]

[@redflag8970]

walked back to town hundred of us an went into cypress tavern wot a nite.

[@bruntacus]

Ah great memories... Barry Davies, Mark Robins, Mike Phelan. (not so much the latter...)

[@Bazooka183]

Phelan was shite like

[@rickrowlands001]

The FA Cup meant something in those days. It’s treated as an afterthought nowadays

[@danlewis92]

not this year!

[@stonerose99]

erm Nicky Henry's goal in the replay that hit the bar and bounced down behind the line, however is mysteriously missing from this video post.

[@Bazooka183]

Typical Man Utd trick....Typical Man Utd trait. They just show people what they want them to see. They still tell people that they have always loved Fergie too - the liars 😁

[@JFBridge]

Oldham gave fine performances in both games;unlucky to lose,but they got their just desserts by winning promotion the next season.

Where is nicky Henry's goal? I know it wasn't given but I think it deserved to be in the highlights.

[@Busybee65]

The start of the fergie success, and brown envelopes pushed under the ref's dressing room door.

[@tottenhamhotspurish]

Mark Robbins helped keep Fergie in a job.

[@johndearden7931]

The linesman did by not seeing the ball over the line from Henry's shot

[@Bazooka183]

You are both correct lads 😉

[@bruntacus]

Oldham fans - Mattyredman hasn't deliberately left out the Henry disallowed goal. United's FA Cup VHS from this 89/90 season didn't have it on either - I imagine the highlights are from that VHS. (That's a video cassette for those born in DVD era...) Mind you, the same video DOES show a controversial disallowed Forest goal against Utd in the 3rd round.

[@DShamen]

Why would they chose to edit out what was a hugely important part of the game? Nick Henry's shot clearly went over the line.

[@daddykornflakes]

I recall that. I think it came very early on in the game, about 3 mins. Would have totally changed the game.

[@TrevorSports]

4:55 Barry Davies going nuts usually meant something spectacular had taken place. Would have been some goal Incey

That semi final was 4 years after this one mate.

I remember feeling gutted that Nick Henry's goal wasnt given. This is why i am glad i dont support a team any longer, i just cant handle the emotions, they always go against the lesser teams, its such a shame.

@@shanet5604 Leave the lad alone Shane. Man Utd got lucky in 1990 again'st more than one opponent in the Cup you know? When Man Utd did'nt play in the FA Cup in 1999/2000, I found this particularly sad, as it had been the competition that had saved Fergies bacon a decade earlier!

[@shanet5604]

Glen Cansdale I remember that cup run well ! United had a lot of luck,but it does even out ! And it was the F.A’s decision for United not to compete that year and go play in Brazil to strengthen their World Cup bid for ‘06,absolutely ridiculous when you look back now !

[@angrybrowncat]

Do you have the first game, the 3-3? Can't find it anywhere

[@hauntboy]

Nicky Henry hit the bar in the opening minutes, not shown here. Looked at the time like it might've even crossed the line.

I think Oldham is a complete toilet. However, this made me proud as an Oldham fan. This is despite the fact that some of the Oldham players who used to come into our nightclub in Oldham and used to act like immature chimpanzees until finally they were given the bum's rush by the doormen.

No wonder Oldham were bitter, because Nick Henry and Oldham were robbed. Lucky Man Utd and Fergie.....hated by his own support between 1986 and 1990 - stumbled through every round with the sack hanging over his head in 1990. Also got a lucky draw again'st Palace in final, when ref played too much added time, and Hughes equalised with the last kick.
