I was also sat in that temporary corner stand and we all saw the handball.
City were helped along all that season as the powers that be, and City’s board had strong connections within the Football League, wanted them back up due to their size and financial clout as a club. I’ve seen this theory mentioned elsewhere as well, it was so obvious.
When ref Terry Helibron asked Goater if he had used his arm or not, surely there must have been some thought in his mind that he HAD used his hand? Was Goater ever going to say yes? Was he hell. And the tackle on Kevin Sharp, wow, how that never got us a penalty, I will never know.
I’ve hated City every since. They just came across as a really sh**house club who were pushed back up by the powers that be. Thankfully we’ve had our revenge since, more than once.
