Nasal strips. What happened to them? Were they a scam? Just watched a rerun of Porto v Monaco and saw a few players wearing them.
I realize this post is a bit Stuart Maconie white dog s5it |  |

Good God. That's Ron Atkinson isn't it? Hung like a pack of parma violets. |
Yep, the other one is Jim Smith, you'll never unsee that now. |  |

I have to ask... is that a black and white photo from some testimonial/charity game in the 90s, or did they actually look like 50 year old darts players when they were in their peak? |  |

Match of the Week,
The Green Un,
Kids standing on stools, |  |
| We have no village green, or a shop.
It's very, very quiet.
I can walk to the pub. |

70 to 80 minutes of the ball in play, last night the ball seemed to be in play barely 40 minutes all game. During lock down I watched quite a few games from 80's and 90's and throw in's and goal kick's were taken very quickly and the general pace of the game was much quicker than modern football. |  | | |

Match of the Week,
The Green Un,
Kids standing on stools, |
The Green 'un was almost like a magic trick. Within ten minutes of getting home after the game, a full printed report of the game landed on the doormat. |  |

Pretty sure it's a charity game from the 80's | |

Half time kids penalty shoot out on main pitch where the kicker would get 10 seconds to run at the keeper and score.
Golden Goal tickets.
The scoreboard hitting 90 minutes and not having any idea how much injury time was going to be played.
Picked up back passes (except for the Gillingham sub keeper last night!).
End of season pitch invasion.
Cup runs (but that could just be us).
20+ goals a season scorer (see previous comment).
Wagon wheels.
"Here we go, here we go, here we go..." chant before kick off. [Post edited 28 Oct 2020 21:10]

The blue invacars that used to park by the tunnel.
Teams coming out on to the pitch separately.
Full-time whistles at 4.40 pm. | |

Sometimes the Green Un report would have the correct headline score, but the report itself would stop before any late goals. (if that makes sense) |  |

That board with a grid that had the half time scores from the other games on it. | |

Blue and White balloons as we enter the pitch - still think it looks class even as a bonafide adult!
Ripped up newspapers as we enter the pitch. Would spend ages as a kid doing that! |  |

Fans in the Cobbold Lower (Portman Terrace) shielding their eyes from the sun.
Admittedly that may have stopped when the Pioneer was built saving them from the glare a bit more. | |

FA Cup third or fourth replays.
The teleprinter with the results on Grandstand.
Guessing where Match of the Day was from the lunchtime preview. [Post edited 28 Oct 2020 21:31]

Moustaches!
Wark, Rush, Seaman, Souness... where have they gone!
I cant think of any current player with a decent bit of upper lip hair
(maybe for good reason) |  | | |

Nasal strips went extinct as a direct result of Phil Thompson's brief, strangely unreported comeback in the early noughties. | |

Players kicking those cheap plastic balls into the crowd before the game every so often.
Nowdays, they'd probably be lobbed on the pitch during the game!!! | | | |
