Stolen from the EADT Since that win in 1978, we have now featured in ten live FA Cup ties. Before Monday night, we had lost eight of the previous nine ties with only the 0-0 draw against Liverpool in the fifth round in February 1992 saving us from a clean sweep of defeats. And With just two wins in our previous 23 FA Cup ties, that put us 92nd out of all football league clubs, in terms of wins
Terrible stats. Can only get better!

As Trumpton said, the first club live televised game outside of the FA Cup Final didn't take place until the mid 80s. I remember watching it, pretty sure it was a Friday night, Southampton v Liverpool (or possibly Manure). It was a good game from what I recall - Southampton won.
That's really odd. I recall seeing (on some random digital channel) a few years ago a re-run of an old 70s cup replay (like a 2nd or 3rd replay - back in the days when that happened). Does that mean that the old 70s match wasn't on TV originally, or that it was on TV, but just not live?
Clearly my details are non-existent, so you can't possibly know (sorry), but I guess my question is: did they used to show FA cup games on TV after the event, i.e. not live?
Or else maybe I'm just going mad...

I don't recall seeing a non-final game in its entirety after the event. You could possibly have seen footage that was originally broadcast in mainland Europe? I know, for example, that English club games were broadcast live in Scandinavia way before the introduction of live TV games in England.

They must have recorded entire matches in order to be able to show highlights. Whether archives kept any entire unedited footage and whether any channel has subsequently played them I don't know.

I can recall that game. It was Soton v Liverpool and there was a wonder Danny Wallace goal from memory. There were a lot of Friday night live games, mostly involving Liverpool. And an overhead kick scored by Alan Brazil for Spurs at Old Trafford.
I do remember a second division game being televised around about then, think it was Chelsea v Man City.

Thinking about it some more, could it have been the replay of the Leeds v Chelsea FA Cup Final, which I think was in 1970?

Is that correct? Only 10 times on TV at all since 78? Not one televised FA Cup match throughout the 80s that we won? That doesn't seem right. We had the record for consecutive seasons getting through the 3rd round around then didn't we?
I don't think there is an easy to see list of televised matches is there?
There weren't many Live televised football matches in the late 70s and early 80s. Highlights- yes, but live outside broadcasts were prohibitively expensive and reserved for some England internationals and the FA Cup Final.

Depends how you define ´on TV’. In 1978 I’m guessing only one FA Cup game was on television live.
Prior to 1975, when Town’s run to the semi final was a regular on match of the day Ipswich had never made it past the 6th round. Which for many of those years meant a cup run was winning two games.

Matches were recorded and shown on Match of the Day in the evening.

Thanks, that's interesting. It's strange that the evening TV schedule could cope with a recorded match being dumped on it, but the afternoon schedule couldn't cope with a live match.

No, it was nothing so glamorous as that. Just some random round. I recall looking it up to see how many replays there were in total and being surprised at how many there were. But I can't recall either the teams or the result. Getting old...

Cost came into it but yes, in my early days the only live football on TV was the Cup Final, the World Cup finals. In 1969 they decided to show all 6 games in the Home Internationals live, but some attendances were very poor, apart from England v Scotland, which was always a sell out so this wasn't continued. There was an experiment with live Football League TV in 1960, involving the second half of Blackpool v Bolton, but the gate was poor, maybe because of the 6:50pm Saturday kick off. Other games in the pipeline were dropped, partly becasue some clubs refused permission. In the 1960s & 1970s, some clubs banned Match of the Day cameras from their grounds, notably the irascible Bob Lord at Burnley. Sporadic live League games on terrestrial TV began in the 1983-84 season. THe value of these rights slowly increased, then Sky grabbed the Premier League & the rest is history,
1988- Man Utd (H) 1-2 1992 Liverpool (H) 0-0 1992 Liverpool (A) 2-3 1994 Wolves (H) 1-2 1999 Southampton (H) 0-1 2002 Man City (H) 2-4 2015 Southampton (H) 0-1 2021 Barrow (A) 0-2 2022 Bracknell (A) 3-0
I'm missing a tenth though, was the Chelsea 0-7 game on live? It was definitely on a Sunday.
Was Wolves 1994 on TV? I don't remember that and I was living away so would have watched it.
I do remember the replay. I was out and got back and looked the score up on Teletext where the headline was 'Thompson Wins Cup Replay' leading to cheers until I read further and realised it was Andy Thompson not Neil.

The Wolves replay was on Sky. The whole game is on YouTube.
Paul Cook comes on as sub for them (1h 48m in). He has hair and looks funny.
Edit: I don't know why that link doesn't work, but I'm sure you're all resourceful enough to find it for yourselves.

Only highlights were shown in the evening on Match of the Day though, very much like they are today. I can't remember a whole match (i.e. 90 minutes) being recorded and shown later (unless my rapidly diminishing memory is letting me down).

The first game (away) wasn't on TV - I think it finished 1-1 (I remember Warky scored for us)? The replay at home was live on Sky - I remember watching it at my local football club. It was a depressing game. We were in the Premier League and Wolves were in the 2nd division.
