Brynjar was the best player on the pitch by a mile that night. An absolute inspiration given the circumstances

I forgot that Mike Dean did the first leg. How did those two clowns come to be 'elite' Premier League referees?

Never left a ground as angry as that night. This wasn't bad refereeing, it was corruption, hope the cunt is in complete penury in his retirement.

What makes it so galling, even today, is that you can tell simply from his posture in that photo that Rob Styles loved every minute of that night.
"This is it Rob," he thought to himself. "This is your big moment. Soak it up. Drink it in. Bask in the glow."

"I challenge you to a duel, sir. My weapon: nought but my own twatmastery." I also like Mikael Hansson's Bollywood dancing. |

Kavanagh and Lightbourne are doing the macarena. Lightbourne, as always, is one step behind. |

Carl Muggleton was on the bench that night and he was known to perform the Charleston during matches, usually as a header from Gareth Taylor looped back across goal and over the twin waving hands of the "Flapper Queen". Gudjon Thoardarson finally lost patience with him when a Jamie Cureton shot bobbled between his legs while he was showing Nicky Mohan his "create the illusion that one knee is passing through the other when in fact all you're doing is crossing your hands" routine. |

Shocking inadequacy and inconsistency, always wondered about dodgy dealings with Scally involved, two of my least favourite football people (& Hessenthaler!) Good job England beat Australia yesterday or this might have dampened the summer. |

I'll never forget the time Muggleton attempted John Travolta's famous backwards stepping dance from Pulp Fiction at the exact moment Paul Furlong completed his hat-trick in the 0-7 Birmingham match.  He had a real eye for timing, did Muggleton. |

Muggers was such a promising keeper when we had him on loan from Leicester. We'd fully traumatized him by the time he left though. Goalkeeper for a record breaking 7-0 home defeat broken just a few years later by an 8-0 home defeat to Liverpool. God bless him though, he'd still try and dive to save something, usually thin air after the ball had looped over his head or hit the back of his net a couple of seconds before, often with him being let down by some really shit defending. In all seriousness, very decent bloke off the pitch. |

In all seriousness, very decent bloke off the pitch. He only played one more game after that Liverpool match, a 3-1 home defeat to Luton. Then he went to Cardiff on loan and almost helped muck up their promotion from Division Four... Goalkeeping coach at Gillingham now and his son Sam Muggleton made his debut for them on the last day of last season. A 17-year-old left-back with a mammoth throw-in. |

That Luton game, at one stage Stoke were awarded a free-kick in their own penalty area. Nicky Mohan picked up the ball and gently lobbed it to Muggleton from a distance of about two yards. As Muggers caught it, an ironic cheer went up around the ground, similar to the kind when Rob Styles awards Stoke a throw-in.
A pretty humiliating way to bow out.
As others have said, clearly a nice bloke, but his nerves were so shot to pieces he was a liability in goal.

Fuck, I wish I could stop being such a nit-picky pedant  |

Good job England beat Australia yesterday or this might have dampened the summer. That's the angriest I've ever left a ground as well, fucking fuming all the way back to Pompey I was. No-one will ever convince me that game wasn't rigged by Styles and the FA, if memory serves we (as a country) were bidding for the World Cup at the time and there was no way they wanted us at Wembley for a play off final, weren't the other Semi-final losers Milwall? Us and Milwall at Wembley was never going to happen. I spent years after that hoping to bump into Styles around Portsmouth (he lived in Waterlooville which is only a few miles out), I'd have probably ended up in a cell for the night if I had mind. |

What I meant was, a free-kick in the area has to be played out of the area, so it can't have been caught by Muggers - but re-reading what you wrote, that's not what you were actually saying is it?  Sorry, had my stressy head on yesterday. |

Some games still leave a bitter taste in ones mouth... the FA Cup final, Chelsea away... and Gillingham in the playoffs.
