    BAGGIE SHORTS West Bromwich Albion London Supporters Club Issue 6 Season 15/16 byEDITORIAL Di Lemma our Baggies Shorts Welsh correspondent Hello Boyos I’m writing this on the 20th March and there are certain burn- ing issues that need to be addressed. Suddenly we had come good----wins against Everton, Palace and Manure and an excellent performance bringing a draw against the leaders Leicester. Followed by a candidate for dross of the season in the match against a very poor Norwich team. Oh, in case you didn’t know, we contrived to lose it 0-1, at the Hawthorns. 1) What are we to do about the future of our Tone? I imagine he was happy to walk in the summer but then along came the tiny (no pun intended) matter of losing 3.5 million squids to that lovely man who runs the Palarse - a real gent. So now he’ll want to stay unless he gets a better offer from a promoted club (or Norwich or Newcastle, if they go). And what do you think of a geezer who trousers 3.5 million and walks and who is definitely not ‘Arry, or his dog? The argu- ments seem to be: he’s kept us up, so shut up all you moaners; you will regret getting rid of him; we will always be safe in the Prem with Tiny; he has never been relegated; teams like us have to survive. Or: like to see some football more than occasionally; what’s happening to the Albion tradition?; if Leicester, Watford, Bournemouth and Stoke (YES STOKE) can not only survive but do well playing attractive footie, why can’t we?; TP and Big Sam are the dinosaurs of modern football, with their giant back 4, normally made up of 4 centre-halves.

  • Matches – 17 April 1971
    Matches – 17 April 1971 – Leeds U 1 West Brom Albion 2 First Division – Elland Road – 36,812 Scorers: Clarke Leeds United: Sprake, Reaney, Cooper, Bremner, Charlton, Hunter, Bates (Davey), Clarke, Jones, Giles, Gray West Bromwich: Cumbes, Hughes, Merrick, Lovett, Wile, Kaye, Suggett, Brown, Astle, Hope, Hartford Rob Bagchi and Paul Rogerson in The Unforgiven: “Barry Davies is not a man to condone violence. But on 17 April 1971 the normally polished Match of the Day commentator came dangerously close. “Needing a win against West Bromwich Albion to draw away from the nagging challenge of Bertie Mee's Arsenal side, Don Revie's Leeds United are already 1-0 down. Then, a poor ball from Norman Hunter cannons off Tony Brown into the Leeds half, where Albion's Colin Suggett is loitering at least 15 yards Billy Bremner remonstrates with referee Ray Tinkler while police and fans tussle offside. More in hope than following the "offside" goal by West Bromwich Albion expectation, Brown continues his charge towards goal, and linesman Bill Troupe duly raises his flag. So transparent is the offence that there is a moment of suspended animation while players on both sides wait for referee Ray Tinkler to blow his whistle. He does not. An almost apologetic Brown continues on towards the Leeds goal before squaring for Jeff Astle to execute a simple tap in. Astle, smirking and still half expecting the referee to see sense, jogs back to the halfway line. A decision of almost baroque incompetence has cost Don Revie and Leeds United the championship. “As the truth dawns that Tinkler has given the goal, Elland Road explodes with rage.
