I also went to Brighton in 1980 (but the previous season in March).We lost 1-0 in very windy
conditions-which meant the Seagulls had completed the double over us (having ended our
two and a half year unbeaten home league run earlier in the season).
To make matters worse,I arrived back in Nottingham in the early hours of Sunday morning
after visiting several hostelries in London on the way back.

Local brewer Harveys normally has a beer truck outside the ground.
At least you left it until after the match. I stayed overtime in the hotel bar in Eastbourne the night before, and can only remember one thing from the match.
Walking away after the match with the Seagulls crowd, wearing my colours, and wearing a huge smug grin.
I do recall the good people were displeased, and quite abusive

The most ‘memorable’ bit of a poor match was Brighton manager Alan Mullery charging
onto the pitch at the end to celebrate their victory (courtesy of a late goal).

Was that the game they scored a 30 yarder past Shilton in the last minute?

Im still grieving the home record gone with a 0-1 and I reckon Robbo missed a penalty then.

I think that was Tony Woodcocks last game for us. It had already been announced that he was leaving (for Cologne) which was unusual at the time. Cloughy subbed him at half time!

First one I remember Robbo missing, was one against Derby, although he had missed one or two before Cloughie took over.

Dreadful about the Brighton fans in Rome. Roma fans have plenty of previous, proper scumbags

Robbo wasn’t the penalty taker before Cloughie took over,Rocka-I remember George Lyall missing
a couple.
I think Robbo missed 2 penalties in the same game in Clough’s first full season (although he
scored from a rebound from one as we lost 1-2 at home to Hull).
Terry Curran took over duties from the spot for a while until he got injured a year or so later.
Robbo then took over again and became ‘dead eye Dick’ during the glory years.

Yes,it was Woodcock’s last game.We never really replaced him properly and Robertson (in my opinion) wasn’t as effective without him.

Ian Storey Moore missed a penalty at home to Derby 1971/72 season

Indeed he did,Duncan.
This probably reinforced Brian Clough’s view that he always enjoyed visiting the City Ground
when he was manager at Derby as we made the best sandwiches in the Football League.

Going to vote for my first away win of the season in the polls.
Feel confident about this game after how we played against Liverpool.
Lets hope we don't get our usual bad luck with Refs and VAR
