Yes i remember the 79 semi final. We drew the 1st game 2 all with a rare goal from Alan Hansen and a missed pen from Terry Mac. The venue was Maine Road and the game was notable for being the 1st occasion when we wore the gold/yellow away kit.The replay was at Goodison and was one of the few games where Bob Paisley admitted to making a tactical mistake , namely bringing in Heighway for Case.We lost this goal to a late effort from Jimmy Greenoff who was a bit of a jinx in the Paisley era.
There was a lot of frustration after the match as we had been favourites for the tie and hoping to do the double. At least we did the double over the mancs in the league.

Yeah, at least they got done in the last minute of the final though.  Bast**ds.  I'm gutted I wasn't around to see it.  I wasn't born until the December six months or so afterwards.
