I did dome training a little whole ago as I thought some younger members of my team were lacking in general knowledge. When harking back to things that had happened in my career that were very relevant to then current events I was met with an almost unanimous response of 'well it's before my time'. It's s a depressing attitude - if we fail to learn form history then we are destined to repeat the mistakes of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crikey lads, clearly you love the league cup so that’s great for you. My only real memories of league cup games is play a team that’s above us in the football pyramid, getting beat and it being the second game of the season on a Tuesday night. Not really anything to be buzzing about. Simply asked a question on the last time we went through the first round and now getting a lesson on appreciating history. Unfortunately I don’t have any memories of going to Wembley, are you telling me I should love the competition because we did ? Makes no sense.

Best thing about the LC for us now, is the TV money if you get a PL club at home. The prize money is very poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely means less if you weren't personally involved. Watching Neil Redfern's penalty on youTube doesn't get me as excited as it does the old codgers who still bleat on about it.

If you'd been in the Chaddy the noise would have blown the roof off, had one been on it. It's something you could never forget. Think of Fulham and multiply it several times.

There is contributing to a debate and getting personal by labelling that mind set “depressing”. The fact that anyone or I don’t have an interest in something that happened in the past isn’t depressing, it’s just different perspectives. You have a reason to appreciate the league cup (presumably), I don’t. I do however have fond memories of the FA Cup, Everton, Liverpool even Forrest games spring to mind. Don’t make people feel bad for not having connections to things that happened before their time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Og Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Let's face it; if we want out of any competition we haven't got many good memories of over the last couple of decades then the first candidate in line is the league! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
