Loved watching that on my telly.

What a machine that Utd side was.

Aye, the end of the game was no picnic, as the United support left the ground.

And that Tommy Burns could be a bit of a dirty bastard. The referee (it was Smith from Edinburgh wasn't it?) was lenient, to say the least.

What struck me again about the matches from that era was how open the game was, and how direct United were. We had one of the best players in Europe in Davie Narey who could have carried out from the back, but we went for the opposition as quickly as we could.

Contrast that to the fannying about in present football.

Hope Robbie was watching that tonight.

 
To be fair to Robbie he has nothing remotely like Bannon or Milne at his disposal or Sturrock...... 
Actually none of his team would get in the 81 team

That’s fair enough but also the current team aren’t up against anything like that Celtic team. Unfortunately the Largs pish has been instilled into so many managers. Works great if you’re  Guardiola with millions but a nightmare if you’re not and try to play that style with mediocre players. Play to your strengths has been binned and everyone is trying to play fancy pish all the time.
