I agree , we never get cup ties like this anymore , no passion , too many divers , too many foreigners ( same thing ) , too much politics, no standing , too much money for players and costs too much to get in the ground, its becoming too expensive for the working man !
As a young Newcastle supporter seeing this footage is just amazing. The way football was played back then looks way more entertaining than what it is today. Supporters actually singing and supporting their team instead of recording it on their phones, really wish I was born in this era.
13 year old me was stood in the paddock just below the cameras, so this was pretty much my view at the time. Unbelievable game. Also, especially proud of John Tudors diving headed equaliser, as he was my next door neighbour at the time!

Following the recent sad death of Toon fanatic and Club employee Paul Tully I have gone back and immersed myself in these matches where we all went along week after week in our youth. I was there, in the Leazes End, an unbelievable day (and there were many in that run - except for the final.......!) I saw the April '74 match winner Bob Moncur kindly attend Paul's funeral last month - lot's of folk there as were many a Newcastle notable, too many to list here and anyway, this is to thank those for posting this and the many matches that have taken me back to some marvellous times in football. RIP Paul, you and these sporting moments will never fade away.......
Brilliant Forest shirts . Imagine if you were to tell people in 1974 that several of this team were on their way to back to back European cups with one of Newcastle’s players on the team as well
I'm a Blackpool fan and can remember this time period pretty well ( thought this was about a pitch invasion ) .....but the pace and speed of this game is staggering!!...fantastic commitment
Frankly one of the greatest games ever. The crosses from Hibbitt & Tudor, one sending off, two penalties and a winner from Moncur who only scored in the most critical matches (FA Youth Cup Final, UEFA Cup Final) ...... police dogs chewing up the yobs from the Leazes. And none of the reports mention that when NUFC finally beat Forest 1-0 in the replay MacDonald got fined £100 by the F.A. for saying "That's 5-3 on aggregate."
@@richardsharpe2966 You can say that again...having called for a replay the FA then refused to allow forest to have a home game. Two games at goodison, first one ended 0-0 before another replay, also at Goodison which Newcastle eventually won. Forest, the only club to have played three games in a single round of the FA cup and not one of them at home.
This was the first match I ever attended! Crazy! I was standing close to the tunnel and the dugout! I remember when Leonard Conroy (big fella with three coppers around him) first invaded the pitch....and hundreds followed from the Leazes End....nuts!
Due to the Pitch invasion by hooligans; the FA ruled this game void & ordered a replay. Eventually after a 2nd replay at Goodison Park; Super Mac scored the winner in a hard fought 1-0 win over then 2nd Division Nottingham Forest & earned Newcastle United a FA Cup Semi-final at Hillsborough, Sheffield against Burnley.
I was 8 years old watching this game in the Leazers end with my dad.. Holy shit the maddest game I ever seen... Back then the Toon Army was never heard of.. But St. James" Park was not for the faint hearted... The noise was ear bleeding..
They wouldn't if the pitch hadn't been invaded. The next game should have been played at Forest, but saying that it was a great game proper football on a old Muddy English pitch
Mike West died with the money mate, McDermott Tudor etch good but not great players but had character nowadays it's faceless players passing from side to side and no one goes past players any more,
I was there & the fact of the matter is the Toon fans all thought it was their year to win the cup 🤣 and they were so incensed at the fact that Forest (a 2nd division team) were hammering them, they invaded the pitch to have the game abandoned & hope for a replay at least. Well they got their replay x2 & went through to get hammered & humiliated by Liverpool 3-0 ! justice prevailed in the end & the Toon supporters proved to be bad losers when 3-1 down. The FA should have awarded the game to Forest who would have prevailed but for being unnerved by the aggressive leezes end. COYR
I agree. Newcastle should have been expelled from the competition and Forest should have gone through to play Burnley. I went down to Wembley from Liverpool for the final, Newcastle fans on the tube singing about this match, but they were then forced to watch their team get the thrashing that the fans' behaviour so richly deserved. Two great goals by Tudor and Moncur, but the match should have been stopped before that point.
Hugh Johns giving a great commontary , no histryonics (like Motson) treating the watching viewers like adults not children who are watching there first match (Like commentators today)
I played snooker at the club Pat Howard part owned and played him a couple of times and asked him about the sending off. He basically said to Kew if he was to be sent off there would be a riot and he was correct
Four players on that pitch that would later win the European Cup with Forest, O'Neill, Bowyer, Robertson and Clark (Newcastle). Mcdermott would also win the European Cup with Liverpool
Yes, the FA ordered a replay...at Goodison Park. Result 0-0. Second replay also at Goodison , dodgy ref and Newcastle won 1-0 , the result the FA wanted.
I was there ... kids running across the pitch ... with the odd adult ... forest 3-1 up beaten 4-3 ... we were put off by the riot 😭😭😭😭 behave yourself ... Toon Army
I was in the crowd for this game as a spotty teenager NUFC daft. The bloody FA forced the teams to play the tie again, and again. Why they did that beats me, it's not as if the Forest player were scared to approach the touchline after the restart. ho ho ho
Liverpool supporters are nowhere near as good. You'd see how bad they are if they had to go through what the Toon have. Anyone can support successful clubs, that's why they have so many plastic foreigners
Thank God for UA-cam. Best ever FA cup tie. Remember seeing this at the time. It had absolutely everything. Give the person who posted this a medal.
i would have to agree....schoolboy memories

13:04 Evidence that Terry Hibbit was a pure footballing genius, how he never got an England cap is crazy
Cracking player, both the Hibbitt's were quality players.

Including Frank Clarke who was playing for Newcastle.
Bowyer, O’Neil, Robertson, brilliant team with McGovern , Shinto, Anderson, Woodcock, Gemmell excellent
The great Hugh Johns commentating.
Loved his commentaries on The Big Match.
My favourite Newcastle game of all time it had everything when moncur scored the winner there was the most noise I have ever heard at a football match
Great clip, I was there (Forest). Small point for accuracy..the date is wrong. It was March 9, not April.
Great to watch.None of the pass and move possession shit in them days.
I should add: fantastic Forest team. Duncan McKenzie, Ian Bowyer, Jim Barron, Martin O'Neil.
you've missed John Robertson No6 and well out of position that day
I'm a Blackpool fan and can remember this time period pretty well ( thought this was about a pitch invasion ) .....but the pace and speed of this game is staggering!!...fantastic commitment
Great performance by McDermott. No wonder Liverpool snapped him up! Incredible game!
How did you work that out in a 15 minute video when McDermott touched the ball about 3 times?

Newcastle should have been thrown out of the cup competition,
Up the toon
@@thevillaaston7811 Correct but the FA were cowards

One of those games that will always be remembered
The commentary was much better in those days including the football, but not the pitches.
Mike West Who gives two sniffs about the quality of the pitch with games like this?
Give me the old pitches. It gave you drama, skill & the Wow factor. Today's perfectly perfect pitches are sterile & boring like a video game.
Yeh commentaries were great & football was more interesting as matches more interesting when not played on perfect pitches each week
This was the first match I ever attended! Crazy! I was standing close to the tunnel and the dugout! I remember when Leonard Conroy (big fella with three coppers around him) first invaded the pitch....and hundreds followed from the Leazes End....nuts!
Bowyer and O'Neill. If you had told them they would win the European Cup five years later!!!!
And John Robertson!
Neil Martin appealing to the referee not to send Pat Howard off- times have changed dramatically
I wonder if he did because he was afraid of the crowd trouble that followed? But love the commentary "Oh my godfathers he's been sent off!"
Also, the following week Newcastle lost to Chelsea and one paper commented that they "did not have enough fans at Stamford Bridge to save them"
Tudor's goal! White hot St James'. Hugh Johns commentating. Really doesn't get any better.

I was there in the leazes end age 9 with my Dad... very exciting... when the pens were full they used to ring a bell...
was there that day brilliant game
I was 8 years old watching this game in the Leazers end with my dad.. Holy shit the maddest game I ever seen... Back then the Toon Army was never heard of.. But St. James" Park was not for the faint hearted... The noise was ear bleeding..
ye great place for football. would of liked to stood on the leazes end when it had a roof. went there with utd a few times 84 on .
I was 9, in gallowgate with fatha...can we go on the pitch too Da?....Stop where you are son...Remember the atmosphere to this day...unbelievable!
The last time Newcastle were really good, until next year !
I remember this. Disgraceful. The game should have been awarded to Forest.
Why ? Forest lost
They wouldn't if the pitch hadn't been invaded. The next game should have been played at Forest, but saying that it was a great game proper football on a old Muddy English pitch
What fun we had on and off the pitch in those days. Not like todays horrible sterile corporate plastic grounds
His brother Kenny was a really good player too !
5 years later NFFC THE FUCKING LOT !!! Get Innnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn You Redsssssssss
Wow the passion is palpable
Magpies' 3 - 3 equaliser = Class
One of the most exciting games I've ever seen , where's the passion now ?
Mike West died with the money mate, McDermott Tudor etch good but not great players but had character nowadays it's faceless players passing from side to side and no one goes past players any more,
Running striat towards the forest fans ..... ha ha soon stopped though when they realised the forest lads where going nowhere
Great match, one of the most exciting I’ve even seen, I just wished the players were taller than ‘4’ “8”
I was at one of the other quarter finals that day, Burnley v Wrexham
you mean liverpool not Wrexham
@@anthonymitchell8893 No Burnley v Wrexham FA cup quarter final, Liverpool were at Bristol City
I was at this match at the age of 16.
5 years after this game, Four players on that pitch won the European Cup,
How good was Brian Clough.
Clarke, O Neil, Robertson, Bowyer
did you have it with the forest mob ?
I never knew we used to sing YNWA 15:09

The truth though!
Newcastle fans were a disgrace, should have abandoned the game when Forest were 3-1 up ....
Yep.

Fair to say we were lucky not to be expelled but what a come-back by 10 against 11.
could be a league cup final at Wembley for both fingers crossed
NUFC had been claiming crowds of 50+ thousand but the real figures were higher, tax man reasons, wonder how many actually went to the game back then,
Nearer 100,000 than 50,000

Wasn't this match replayed ?
Yes, the FA ordered a replay...at Goodison Park. Result 0-0. Second replay also at Goodison , dodgy ref and Newcastle won 1-0 , the result the FA wanted.
What day this was
Whatever possessed me to call my black and white dog Geordie back in the day?
did nt they have to replay that game, due to the pitch invasion, with Newcastle winning the replayed match 1-0
Yes. MacDonald got fined £100 by the F.A. for saying "That's 5-3 on aggregate."
2 replays at Goodison Park.0-0 on Monday and1-0 on a Thursday.Should have been replayed at Newcastle if at all.
@@paulcharlton1772
I seem to remember that MacDonald said a few other things before the final.
09/03/74 i think
I was at this game. Newcastle should have been thrown out of the cup. Total disgrace to the game.
The actual date was the 8/474
8th March 1974 it was bloody freezing day couldn't feel my hands and feet
Other teams had their ground closed.Not Newcastle.Play it again Sam.Bastards.
It was on 9 March, not on 9 April.
Thank you.
The result should have stood. You can't restart the game and then void it because Newcastle came back from 1-3 down and won 4-3.
Forest a decide side before Clough then.
The pitch is appalling.
Glad you didnt winthe the cup that year..Thank you Liverpool for pasting them,,
What a wanker! Probably a scab too.
I was there ... kids running across the pitch ... with the odd adult ... forest 3-1 up beaten 4-3 ... we were put off by the riot 😭😭😭😭 behave yourself ... Toon Army
toon army
Absolutely fabulous memories, so close but within a couple of years Gordon lee,sold everyone got beat of a great liverpool team yukk
I was in the crowd for this game as a spotty teenager NUFC daft. The bloody FA forced the teams to play the tie again, and again. Why they did that beats me, it's not as if the Forest player were scared to approach the touchline after the restart. ho ho ho
laughing yeah you got the audacity to laugh youth yeah 🤣😂😎😍😍😍😍😍🐒🐒🐒🐒😥😄😣😀😀😎
away fans in the gallowgate lol ?
It is heartbreaking that Newcastle have not won trophies for so long. Only Liverpool supporters are more fanatical
Liverpool supporters are nowhere near as good. You'd see how bad they are if they had to go through what the Toon have. Anyone can support successful clubs, that's why they have so many plastic foreigners
cursed for spoiling that match its called karma
EASY to be fanatical when they win everything!! theres more atmosphere on the moon that at Anfield!!
@@drover110There is. More. Atmospheric on the moon than at any premier league game these days.
X
Why in such crappy letterbox style. Unwatchable.
Geordie cheats. Doomed never to win another trophy.
Rightly cursed by the football gods for having scumbag fans.
It's definitely karma because after this Geordies have not won another trophy since. And forest have won loads including back to back European cups.
