Both sides have had good and bad times since. I’m a Baggies fan and this side should have won at least 1 trophy. Like the tractor boys and others we have been up and down ever since. Sadly the way football is now I can’t ever see any team outside of the big six winning Premier titles, FA Cups or League Cups in the future. Money has ruined football.
was at this game with my dad i was only 9 years old then even tho we lost i will never forget it.what a great side albion had then should of achieved so much more.
Same here I was there age 14 and in 82 v QPR when we lost again. Still go up the Hawthorns now age 60 sadly my Dad passed 20 years ago but I sit with my 2 sons cheering the Baggies on in the Brummie Rd End.
From all English football fans. I’m a Baggies fan and he was a great player for us, a great manager for Ipswich, Newcastle and of course England. RIP Sir Bobby Robson a real gentleman
Back then winning the cup was just as prestigious as winning the league.....maybe even more so so they did at least give the fans a huge day out V Arsenal.
@@tigerarmyrule and what a cup finale it turned out to be. Wark two times in the left post, Mariner in the cross bar. Could have been at least 4 or 5 goals for Ipswich. A good win.
I so glad I got too see this great ipswich team around then instead of the crap we have now the George burley Marcus Stewart side was the last good one
bad day for the baggies i reember being two down after 15 mins. Felt like crying no way back........ few years later lost at highbury again to QPR deflected goal .....what a life
Scary. I was 9 when this game was played and I remember it so well....Talbot's goal, Alan Wileys bandages after the head clash, the late penalty. I wanted WBA to win because they beat the almost invincible Nottingham Forrest (who won the league and the league cup) in the quarter-finals.
I remember this match well, a few weeks before I remember people at Portman road asking fans to sign a petition so Clive Thomas would not referee the match.
I'm a Villa fan but in the second half of the Seventies it was all Forest and Liverpool in the league and Man United & Arsenal in the FA Cup. The League Cup was were Villa did well. Then, around '80/'81, my team and the likes of Ipswich, Southampton, WBA had a real presence. Todays game is all too formulaic, predictable and boring. Both domestic cups will soon make way for expansionist European centred competitions. A shame.
Wot , no John Wile ? My most vivid memory - massive bloodied head bandage. Also I feel this commentary is genuine .... only in real time would a commentator , at full time , almost say that the ref is "looking at his whistle and blowing his watch" - as here.
Yes, Talbot was heroic in scoring the first goal, but John Wile equally so, not only trying to defend the cross but playing with a gashed and bleeding head
still heartbroken after all these years!! great cup run ending in a semi final where we didnt turn up, was it stage fright knowing we´d be on MOTD? Boing Boing!! coyb!
@grefff12 He would have been ordered off the pitch nowadays - I remember watching this and the blood was everywhere, on the ball, on Paul Cooper's shirt and hands etc, as they kept bandaging Wile up. They had no concept of health and safety in 1978 lol.
How sad that Beattie's career was wracked by injuries..imagine this England backline (don't know if Statham played above) post 1980..V. Anderson T. Butcher or Alvin Martin/K. Beattie D. Statham, phew pace and defensive skills..
@@MisAnnThorpe I like to think that Clough (Peter Taylor did not rate Sansom interestingly enough)would have tried him out along with a cluster of other players..
Could only be Highbury with its crappy "cheap plastic greenhouse" dugouts. Now most Prem grounds have equally shit dugouts with those vile seats. You're there to do a job, not sit on a comfortable seat. The game is shite now
no big name players???? I do not think u know too much about the players from that time periode. Kevin Beattie was one of the best allround players ever in England. John Wark, Paul Mariner, Trevor Whymark, Mick Mills, Clive Woods, + + + Ipswich were not a fashionable club, but they had a super manager and super players
The Ipswich team of 78 was not a patch on the team of 80/81 with players like Muhren and Thihsen and Eric Gates and Terry Butcher and Alan Brazil that was the best team around in the early 80s and criminal they never won the league
Did these commentators record this in 1998 from Papua New Guinea or something. They don't sound as if they are even 1000 miles close to the ground and it sounds like they've added their comments much, much later.
@grefff12 Yeah John Trewick. The man who said of the great wall of China; "Once you've seen one wall you've seen them all"! Only an English footballer could come out with something like that.
Not sure why I watch videos like this considering the current state of Ipswich, what an era I missed. Goosebumps.
Oh what an era we're back in now 😍 bright bright future uppa town 🚜💙

That Ipswich side was incredible, so sad they didn't win the league. Now look at them.

Back in the prem!
Great times, glad I lived through them!
What a great team
A disappointing day for West Brom. Everything that could go wrong went wrong. Glad though that Ipswich won the final instead of Arsenal.
I so glad I got too see this great ipswich team around then instead of the crap we have now the George burley Marcus Stewart side was the last good one
Legendary Ipswich team 👌👌
I was at this game. I was 10 at the time and cried my eyes up all the way home
I was broken hearted you ruined my dream of seeing WBA at Wembley
yay, kevin beattie added this to his myspace. im honoured.
My space!
It was Highbury. I used to have the game programme and it featured Arsenal on it. The same day, Arsenal beat Orient at Stamford Bridge.
bad day for the baggies i reember being two down after 15 mins. Felt like crying no way back........ few years later lost at highbury again to QPR deflected goal .....what a life
Why not use the original commentary?

This doesn’t sound like original commentary.
Look how Tony Brown converted the penalty.....nobody does it like him.
still heartbroken after all these years!! great cup run ending in a semi final where we didnt turn up, was it stage fright knowing we´d be on MOTD? Boing Boing!! coyb!
If Paul Cooper was 6 inches taller, he could have played for England!
Great goal keeper, saving penalties was just speciality, sure he still has a record for penalties saves
Super Cooper!!
Was at the game remember it well sad day for us
good video but ridiculous fake commentary! Nobody said 'game on' in 1978! Where's David Coleman, surely this was his comm on MoTD?
Yes I was thinking that sounded a bit weird for the 1970s
This match was played at Highbury the former home of Arsenal not Wembly.
That's the way it used to be. You should've heard the European matches....they sounded like they were inside a tin can. I miss those days.
I remember watching the highlights on the Sunday show, the day after. Can't remember the name of it now, but it was crap compared to MoTD.
Was it the big match on Sundays

JohnWark, legend. Nowadays players r just amateurs(in the bad way)
Dreadful commentators. Who are they? Turnips from Anglia TV?
How sad that Beattie's career was wracked by injuries..imagine this England backline (don't know if Statham played above) post 1980..V. Anderson T. Butcher or Alvin Martin/K. Beattie D. Statham, phew pace and defensive skills..
Kenny Sansom was a wonderful player. I don't think Statham was ever likely to displace him, as good as he undoubtedly was.
@@MisAnnThorpe I like to think that Clough (Peter Taylor did not rate Sansom interestingly enough)would have tried him out along with a cluster of other players..
Einfach schön
What ground was this played at?
Highbury. Arsenal's old stadium
Could only be Highbury with its crappy "cheap plastic greenhouse" dugouts.

You're there to do a job, not sit on a comfortable seat. The game is shite now
brian talbot, such a fucking beast. fucking everywhere he was.
that's why Arsenal took him
@SeventiesMania I wondered why Cooper and Godden were wearing red shirts. Now I know!
Its great scoring against green and yellow!
Ipswich had a great team of players under Robson at the time. No big name players but they gelled really well

In north bank that day

Craig Gerrard yep...not actual commentary team
What*s with the commentary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
West brom had 3 times more fans there than ipswich...
@grefff12 Yeah John Trewick. The man who said of the great wall of China; "Once you've seen one wall you've seen them all"! Only an English footballer could come out with something like that.
He was actually joking; he also said," ive bent balls around bigger walls than this". Hes quotes have always been taken out context.
@@philh8288 So in truth, Trewick was a true wit.
One of the best teams to never win the league,
We won the league in 1961. Under Alf Ramsey. Paul Mariner brought me here. RIP Paul.
@@tangfastic7075 I said 'teams' not clubs.
Brian Talbot later managed West Brom and did a terrible job.
Absolutely gutting for the Baggie wankers, hahaha...lol.
Bad day for the albion
Could only be Highbury with its shite "cheap greenhouse" manager dugouts.
Should have tomatoes growing in it, not football staff sitting in it
the game was good, the commentary terrible!
Dave Fisher wasnt this on the beeb , Absolute crap commentary as you say.
It’s not real, it’s been added on years later...it’s obvious
@@mikewest1542 Yes it was on the BBC, the commentary was by David Coleman.
I was there! ❤
