Truely dreadful Everton side back then but that turn of the 80s kit remains my favourite. Especially liked it when they were on away days and wore all blue.
A bit of a scandal at the time - shirt advertising was banned for televised games, but McDonagh wore a Hafnia shirt for the second half - you only see him for the Palace penalty
Based on todays rules the following would happen:- Everton's first penalty, Lovell would be sent off for handball. Everton's second penalty, the player would be sent off as that should've been his 2nd yellow card but he didn't get booked for it. Palace's disallowed goal for offside would now stand because both players were not in the goalkeepers line of sight. Both penalties would be retaken because players encrouched the area AND the keeper moved off his line both times! On all occasions VAR would have the final say. How the game has moved on, for the worse.
The chairman who negotiated the sale of land to Sainsburys sold up soon afterwards. The club did not see the Sainsburys money, and was plunged into five years of austerity.
