Match of the Day 29/12/1984

[@peterjenkins1244]

The players, the managers, the atmosphere,the old grounds ,the fans ,the coaches,even the pies were all 10 times better than today ! Just proper football ! god I miss it !

[@BEN-oi5zu]

Son for spurs yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marks238]

Spot on Peter. The whole modern football experience is rubbish.

[@mrkipling2201]

@@marks238 well said. 👍👍

[@thelstanedwardsson4374]

Agreed, its a superficial, plastic experience on matchday in stadiums these days. Feels 'middle class' and not like the old days of turnstyles and worn out pitches.

[@Telcontar1962]

How come I can watch this kind of football all day and the game we see today leaves me cold?

[@Sidneyyoungblood75]

Today's "game" is hugely over rated. Ticky taka football is utterly drab. It does nothing and goes no where. Even kick and rush is more entertaining than the drivel of today

[@Telcontar1962]

@Sidneyyoungblood75 it's not justbthe style of play. The club game itself is the "battle of the balance sheets". The so called fans are anything but. The internationals are a joke. A bunch of globalists bastardising and perverting national solidarity and pride to spread a more hateful, destructive ideology than Nazism. It's all really disgusting in service of a fane that's no longer beautiful or has a soul.

[@Guesswho-qk2kv]

Blame Pep

[@Telcontar1962]

@Guesswho-qk2kv My live for the game disappeared a long time before Pep. 1998 WC ended it internationally and the Heysel stadium incident at club level. FiFA/UEFA are a poison that have destroyed national leagues the amazingly different approaches nations took to playing football

[@chrisevans5259]

Grew up to Jimmy hill and Bob Wilson on match of the day,.....football seemed a more simpler uncomplicated game in those days,...no VAR, or greedy agents ruining the game.......just proper players plying their trade on muddy pitches , unlike the perfectly manicured carpets we get today.....miss the imperfections of the old game,from the cold tea and warm beer,....the games been sanitized so much,...it's lost that earthy grittiness we all loved,....miss the old times

[@Sidneyyoungblood75]

That applies to whole of life now. Vacuous behaviour is revered. Piss poor attitudes are praised and rewarded. No such thing as an individual, its all about The State. Lots of money to incompetent people doing jobs that aren't needed, with zero accountability or responsibility. Rules for thee not for me. And it will only be worse although the robots think its created a fairer, equal better world. Delusional

[@chrisevans5259]

Loved this era in football, the 70s and 80s were great times, proper football , with grounds buzzing,.. and they all had their own quaintess and history.....now the new grounds are all lifeless bowls ,..with no redeeming features or atmosphere... Miss those wonderful times

[@londonguy73]

love seeing how some of the old grounds used to be

[@brendanryder2232]

And shirts 1-11 the way it should still be in my opinion

[@andrewphippsphillips1455]

Completely! Getting pissed off with 44s & 66s

[@rickyblanks1]

I and a friend from the States were at Portman Rd for the match versus champions elect Everton. Ipswich were poor at the time which was a shame as a few years earlier had a quality side contending for the title. Memories of a bloody cold day on the terraces.

I left school in 1984 and joined my local football club, Rochdale AFC, on YTS Apprentice forms - Peter Reid's younger brother Shaun was a couple of years older than me and already playing in the first team at "the Dale". Great days - no money, bad pitches, loads of passion... across all four divisions.

[@StuartHooper]

Proper commentary back then, i turn the sound off now the crp they talk though would like to hear the crowd in the background.

[@philipkempbell7174]

It's better today, stop living in the past, the sports science has improved greatly, these players couldn't play today's game.

[@staffy1968]

@pbr streetgang Sorry matey but that description is accurate and so sadly equates to rubbish i`m afraid

[@andrewphippsphillips1455]

Absolutely! Game now is played by pinches of snuff and utter homs. Watched by twats who go, expecting a three course dinner, so they can go stuff their faces at half time.

[@ed-up]

I can smell Panini stickers

[@steveo7165]

Never could complete my albums 😀

[@arsenal1930]

The quality in today's premier league is on another planet compared to the old days. It's like watching a Sunday league game where there is hardly 3 passes together, the ball was in the air majority of the time or kicked up field

[@Westhamsterdam]

The pitches are a lot different from today´s game. Today´s hybrid pitches are far harder much more flater & faster. If today´s players run like they do on those old pitches they would all have dead legs by half time! Look at today´s lighting compared to 1984. It´s different tatics today, far more pressing, in the old days the defenders never played so high up the pitch.

[@garyowens4269]

At least your wernt bored with the constant pass pass pass in the premier league today. Fed up with pointless stats about nothing in perticular.

[@andrewphippsphillips1455]

Your modern game is a bucket of gutless spaff, full of grasping little turds on the field & watched by witless dipsticks off it, who keep supporting their corporate regimes they deludedly think are "clubs", or parts of their communities! They're commodities now

Scottish and Newcastle Breweries. The factory was actually just across the Barrack Road, which was directly behind the location of the camera in that crappy old West Stand. Now Broom Ale is made with pissy water from crappy Tadcaster. Like Cadbury chocolate, it's been ruined by relocation

It's amazing how slow the game was back then and the players all look unfit, most of them are carrying too much weight. Not suprising, they all drank 6 or 7 pints every night and smoked 40 Senior Service a day lol.

I used to get the shoot magazine as a youngster (late 70's/early 80's) & in the players Q&A the most popular answer to your pre match meal seemed to be Steak and Chips!! That wouldn't be allowed 3 days before a match now 😄

[@RevStickleback]

Teams also had very small squads, and players would play every game unless injured. Two games a week, sometimes more, no such thing as squad rotation, only one sub per team, yet these 'unfit' players could do it, while the athletes of today can't.

[@RevStickleback]

@@mrkipling2201 I think if you look at the goal of the month contenders, they are far better now, but people don't realise that MotD could only use goals from the games they filmed, usually two or three a week - and they didn't always cover the best teams each week.
