Some cracking highlights today but I'll give the Hebblethwaite show a miss tomorrow.

Excellent news , some comedy gold in these depressing times , can't wait .

I keep watching it on the basis that if I watch it enough times eventually that "penalty try" decision might be reversed, the RFL present us with the trophy, and we get an official apology from that lot up the road.

I always wonder if that was the year we never ever trusted refs again, shameful call from him

to those that have never read it I can strongly recommend former Wakefield MP, David Hinchliffe's book, "They Walked On Water". It's his own personal account of that day in 1968, and opinions on the match and what occurred. A local playwright produced a play based on the book and it was performed at the Trinity Cats bar a couple of years ago. Brian Lockwood played a part in the play. The book is available on a well-known internet auction site.

ps I'm not on commission!!!

Like I’ve mentioned before, I can’t watch it, the telly cost me too much money to put my foot through it. Also the thought of my grandmother crying all the way back home, probably why I detest Leeds to this day.

I'll watch it again (rugby league fix) just to see if I remember it correctly. It seemed to me Don took a bit longer run up for a kick under the posts. maybe just the conditions

Was there as well right behind the sticks. Sickened. I will try and watch it but remember the feeling of we was robbed. At least I have had the pleasure of watching Trin since 1960. So I have seen the the golden years.

I was also stood behind the sticks. What a dreadful journey home that was.

Isn't this the documentary that Big Neil didn't like, as he didn't like the portrayal of Don. I think Foxy then didn't undertake some RL 'event' because of it.

My memory is a little hazy on this (and many other things!), so I could be wrong.

I think you're right, phe13....likewise we won't be watching it either for the same reasons mentioned by others above. We watched it the first time around, last year, as I was only 3 in 1968, so wasn't aware of all the controversy, but it made my blood boil when I saw what actually occurred




We watched the other matches yesterday and it was unbelievable how many dodgy decisions went in Leeds' favour in the games that they featured in....nothing ever changes

Agree FIL.
Only ever watched the missed kick - have no intention of watching the full game.
As you say typical Dirty Leeds - always seem to get those decisions.......
