Classic Matches, Thanks for this treat! Superb London derby between West Ham and QPR. Bobby Moore giving a masterclass and Hurst absolutely deadly up front-Allen and Bridges good for Rangers. Also great analysis of the game with Bobby himself and Jimmy Hill. Thanks again and RIP to all involved.
The Ref and team that's conceded should be able to take the ball to the centre spot and kick off immediately to stop todays stupid "celebrations". This happened once (its on YT somewhere-a non league game/Cup tie) where the ref restarted the game whilst all the goalscoring side were still half way through their West End musical routine-result instant equaliser! I guess this was outlawed otherwise why doesn't it happen every game. The great Trevor Francis said he had two celebrations. One arm in the air or two arms in the air (like 99.9% of his era) Anything else was reserved for an FA/World Cup winner in the last minute.
As a West Ham supporter that was a brilliant match from that season. Credit to QPR they came back from two goals down to draw at 3 all. Moore with that goal in the first half was the pick of the 7 (4-3)
Thanks for the upload. Great match and near-comeback by QPR who, strange to say, were relegated that season with the record low points tally of 18. Obviously quite a leaky defence. I bet the actual "ball in play" in this match was about 75-80 minutes, compared with the 55 or 60 you get nowadays. Worse pitches, less skill, far better spectacle.
Rarely did I think about the pitch, it was part of the season, the players just got on with it & got them thinking more & created good games on the whole. Football needs that grit of a battle, & tackling, that's the biggest loss in today's game, tho on Bobby's goal no one did tackle him as Bob said he'd have passed it.
Charles, a Black man at West Ham just before Clyde Best,untold racism at the time with more to come they were and are a massive statement by our club and a massive inspiration to Black people in Blighty at the time and today! COYI⚒❤
The commentator was always live at the ground, and yes the whole game was recorded. Usually six of the ITV regions with the largest teams (London, Midlands, North West, Yorkshire, North East and East Anglia) would each cover at least one game with full outside broadcast facilities, then after the matches there would be a teleconference between the regional companies (chaired by George Taylor in Newcastle) where they'd go over the highlights. The locally-covered match would take up the bulk of each region's programme the next day, and highlights at the end of each show would cover one or two of the best of other areas' programmes. Other regions of the country would generally take the London programme (such as this one), and occasionally make their own if a team on their patch had an important game on. The local companies were very much rivals rather than being a true network, and there were occasions where one company was showing an away match as their main game - they'd actually send up their own commentator and sound crew to the away ground so as to have their own commentary instead of that of the other region - which is crazily inefficient but is just the way the system was back then.

Look at how players celebrated goals then: a simple acknowledgement of a job well done. No antics.

Rangers best player and top goalscorer Rodney Marsh was injured most of the season,that`s why.
Bobby Moore. Great pundit!
Ron Springett good keeper

Fabulous match
Two proper clubs right there, up the rangers
The state of the Upton Park pitch,Imagine Mooro,Hurst and Peters on the manicured billiard tables the Premier League have today?🤔
That looked like a good pitch compared to the state it got into over the years, but not as bad as Derby's Baseball Ground.
Im a yank. Interesting vid.
Question though... did the networks like record the whole game, comment on it then cut it up for broadcast later?

What strikes more most about this match is that both teams seem to be wearing white shorts and socks
Even in black and white I think the QPR hoops made teams distinguishable.
Brian was very shouty in the early days.
He was a bit wasnt he!!!
And all the better for it in my opinion!

Proper football, Proper fans, Proper stadium's, And not a prawn 🦐 sandwich in sight. 😁🏐🥅🏟️
