The reaction of the ball boys is just immense. When your young and you support a football team that isn't fashionable (no offence intended) it can be hard. When of the greatest moments in football history :)
RU-vid, I don't know why you recommended this to me (American, not particularly a huge football fan), but I'm glad you did. Jimmy Glass, what a legend.
Crawley supporter here. I began to wonder if we were going to need a Glass moment last season, but we clinched it with a game to spare in the end. The most boring 0-0 draw you could imagine at home to Walsall. Possibly the only time I've been delighted with, and celebrated, a goalless snorefest.
I loved it when the fan jumped on the ref in excitement. If this was played today the ref would abandon the match ! What a great football moment and it turned Jimmy Glass into a legend. As a Coventry City supporter I know all about last game survival !
I googled him wondering what happened to him, wiki says he played a couple seasons of Div3/Non-league then went into a career in financial services after football. Imagine that guy as your manager at a bank or some shit LOL
If it was 1-1, Carlisle would probably have been liquidated, Nigel Pearson never would’ve managed Leicester, meaning they probably wouldn’t have won the title and potentially Vichai might not have died. Lots of consequences.
@@nicholasgunson2945 Carlisle were a very profitable team. Us Seadogs on the other hand... very much not! We were in massive debts because our fat oaf of a chairman overspent the previous year hoping we'd get promoted, and when we lost in the playoffs, we had no money. Transfer embargo was put on us. We were not a terrible side on paper, but so down on the financial side that I wouldn't be surprised if we went belly up or got relegated in the following years anyways. Regardless, I've come to appreciate this moment for what it is. We were doomed anyway, and Jimmy Glass' goal is an all-time great piece of football history.
I know the answer will probably be "Knighton" and that I'm getting on a bit, but I always remember Carlisle as a solid Second Division side (with that one year in Division One) or if they dropped to the 3rd they always came back. Plus they are the "big" team in Cumbria, so it's always surprised me how they haven't become a second tier/top tier side like say Norwich or Southampton or Ipswich. Drifting around in the fourth tier /flirting with the Conference (again) just doesn't add up. But then again ; I'm an old git!
The current owners for the club have allowed it to stagnate significantly. The legacy of the Knighton era was at it's peak when the club did drop into the Conference in 2003, but Fred Story took over as owner and the club secured back to back promotions into League One, and then nearly made it 3 promotions in 4 years into the Championship, but got beaten by Leeds in the playoffs of 2008. Since then Fred Story left and a consortium of businessmen took over, who have been in charge ever since, barely investing any money into the playing side and allowing the club to slowly slide down the league with a string of abysmal managerial appointments and a lack of investment into the playing side. The club should really be sitting in the upper echelons of League One/The Championship, even flirting with a chance of Premier League Football a-la Wigan, Bournemouth, Brighton, Swansea etc, but no. Sadly for us it is constant underperformance until the club is sold and investment given.
@@planetrockford When Knighton took charge of the club he set about plans to redevelop Brunton Park, this project started with the tearing down of what was previously known as the 'Scratching Pen' which was more or less a stand similar to the Paddock and replaced it with the All-seater stand, the redevelopment would have meant that the pitch would have been moved 20 metres as well, but as the money dried up, the project was never finished so the East Stand was built to overlook the re-designed pitch, but that pitch re-location never happened due to the Warwick Rd end and Waterworks End not being changed.
@@Kairicko Thank you, I had a feeling you would know based on your previous knowledge in a previous comment. That had honestly puzzled me for a long time.
You'd think Carlisle would just say fuck it and apply for a spot in the Scottish league system. They could easily work themselves up to an SPL spot in 4-5 years and end up doing better then their ceiling in the EFL. Plus away travel would be much better/cheaper.
Jimmy Glass does that for Carlisle on the last day of the season, City do Gillingham over in the play-offs with 2 goals right at the death and we do Bayern Munich over in the same way to win the European Cup, what a bloody season 98/99 was!
At one point around the 6 minute mark, the Plymouth right back gets one player in a headlock, then punches the next one that comes in to help. Still on the pitch when Carlisle scored later on, he'd have gotten about 4 red cards and been banned for half a season these days.
@@TonyEnglandUK i've no clue i was an idiot and commented so much but i think what i was saying was telling him to stop complaining about the game going "soft"
Got recommended a Sky Sports Retro about this, rather watch the real thing instead 8) Glad i saw this, i have so much history to catch up on. Anyone seeing this have any suggestions i need to see i only started watching since World Cup 2014
What are you looking for? Goalie goals? Last minute winners? Insane goals? A few immediate suggestions are Roberto Carlos' best goals. Maybe Liverpool vs Newcastle from the 90's (1997 I think). Trevor sinclair overhead. Or rooney goal vs Man City. Aguero vs QPR. Tim Howard scores Lewandowski 9 minutes.... Lots to see. The real challenge is finding broadcast clips that are not covered in shit music or are part of a documentary or similar
@@Noobsaibot21 damn dude thanks for the impressive collection. Going to start digging through history now :) Can't thank you enough for the multiple suggestions.
@@conradmeinecke5861 I'm American and love the relegation/promotion system. I also love underdog battles and seeing teams preform under the pressure. I spend more time watching the bottom of the table in the PL than i do watching the Top 10. Thanks for this suggestion, i'm excited to see this!
Because they’ve been shit all season and then celebrate like winning the league. I’ve never done it when BCFC escape relegation (like this season for instance)
@@Instasamps But when your keeper scores an overtime goal to keep you in the league why shouldn't you celebrate ? Its so important for the motivation and pride of the team
@@HenrikCOYG if you win the match, then yes go and celebrate, but celebrating like winning the league is a bit OTT for me. I’ve never liked it, like when big Sam kept Sunderland up that time, they celebrated like mad. It’s just not for me
