You're not wrong there. We lost 1-0 in 1986, and I seem to remember that we had two goals disallowed. The second of these would have been a last minute equaliser, and Scott Sellars was sent off for dissent as a result of the decision. To cap it all, when their goalscorer was interviewed on the radio afterwards, he admitted "I might have been offside". Actually, I think we lost because we wore the wrong type of boots. The surface was frozen solid before kick off, and Billy Bremner came out with Ian Baird, to try on several different types of boos. Presumably they selected the one which was best suited to a rock-hard surface. The only problem was that it started to snow during the second half and it became much more slippery. From then on our players could hardly stand up, while the Peterborough players were much better at keeping their footing. That said, I still regard Peter Swan's performance that day as the worst I've ever seen by a professional footballer. Tim W.
