The famous league decider in 1989 was on ITV last night. Extended highlights. Great match. What stood out was the (sad) way football has completely changed from just 30+ years ago. The only non British/Irish player within each 11 plus 2 subs was Grobbelaar who was Zimbabwean! Both teams really went for it. Good fair ( in most cases) hard tackles and if a foul was committed there were no theatrics involved. But the biggest difference I noticed was the total lack of time wasting. In the last few mins Liverpool just got on with it. Didn’t try one bit to delay. Only 3 mins of injury time. It was a complete delight to see. FIFA really need to look at this and IMO it’s got to the point whereby possibly 2 halves of 30 mins needs to be brought in and ANY time the ball is not in play the clock stops. It’s got farcical with now the added problem of VAR stoppages of upto 3-4 mins which don’t seem to be added on at the end. Bloody modern football.
