Yep take one of those stars off as VAR has just ruled that Bobby Gould was onside and therefore we were knocked out in the 5th round.

Really it was for working their way up to the fries counter and being allowed to handle hot things.

but add two back for VAR decisions on allowing the goal Clive Thomas ruled out in the semi final v WHU in '75 (we would have beaten Fulham in the final) and for the sending off of Gerry Gow for a straight red in '81, which would have meant another semi final win and an easy win v Spurs in the final

I still have nightmares about the 75 semi final replay.
The most gutted I've ever felt coming out of a ground.

Here's a bit I did with Warky last year:

Wark: We Could Have Scored Six or Seven 6th May 2020 06:00
Today marks the 42nd anniversary of Town’s 1-0 1978 FA Cup final victory over Arsenal at Wembley and TWTD caught up with Blues legend John Wark to hear his memories of that great day. 18

He was the ref for our semi final against West Brom in 78.
I was far happier coming out of the ground that day.

Yep, I actually celebrated more when we won the semi final than the final.
I had my doubts if we could beat West Brom but once we reached the final was convinced that we were going to win it.

I think everybody did, strangely. I think there was such relief after what happened in 75, plus a really tense game against a good side. Wark kills the game with ‘that’ header and everyone went completely bananas.

Me too. And I felt just the same in our play off year. If anything I thought Bolton were at least as good as us or even perhaps a bit better. No worries about the final though.

He did too. He wasn’t much of a player, but the goal was gaping, he couldn’t miss! But he made a right dogs of it. Nobody cared at that stage bar one person, clearly.

I’m probably being harsh on Turner given he scored to save the game at a snowy, frozen Bristol Rovers, but he wasn’t the best.
