...was it against Hull at The Valley in the 70‘s when Hunt was given a goal but we all saw his shot miss the goal but rebounded off the wall?
I'm not totally sure but I thought it was against Oldham.
Oldham sounds about right to me.
I think Oldham. Strangest goal I’ve seen. I don’t remember the crowd or the players claiming a goal, and their keeper was getting ready for a goal kick. Everyone was confused why the ref was pointing to the center circle
This was a rare high point in a generally very shitty period to be a Charlton fan. I know he never really lived up to our hopes, but I had a soft spot for Makienok. Don't think we ever really played to his strengths.
The non goal goal was against Oldham. I think what happened was the Charlton player looked a certainty and couldn't possibly miss and the ref went with that He missed and hit the wall behind the goal and it bounced back.

Sounds as though they were using VAR all those years ago
Too scared to put it on the post match thread but I thought Hull played their part in a pretty good game last night. Some slick attacking play and none of the cynical filth we've seen from some this season.
1986 1-1 was the game I got chased and battered outside, nose broken the lot, I parobably deserved it for wearing a different coloured Gazelle on each foot to show Northerners I could afford 2 pairs.

My first game at the Valley January 1981 against Hull. My neighbour took me and I ended up going with him to every home game. We were 3rd Division then but like last night were on tv- the Big Match. Dicky Tydeman scored a screamer.
............. but for me I often think about the last home game of the 1967/68 season, a nothing to play for match when, as young kids (who lets their young kids go go to football matches on their own these days ?) we rocked up and witnessed, mostly in shock, Eddie Firmani’s team rack up a 5-0 win over Hull. Little did we know it was a taste of things to follow the next season.
I was at that game, our final match of that season, May 1968.
Score was actually 5-1 if I remember right, and as you say, Ray Treacy hat trick - his first for the club since signing from West Brom the previous February, for £20,000.
I seem to recall a game at The Valley where Chris Chilton and Ken Wagstaff ran Charlton's defence ragged and we lost 4-1. I think it was around 1969 / 1970. Why do I remember the big defeats so often?
A 2-2 draw at Boothferry Park. Bank Holiday Monday. Unusually went on the coach and got stuck in traffic.
My only other memory of any game against Hull was at Luton in the seventies where a Billy Bremner lead Hull were 1-0 up on ninety minutes, and lost 2-1. Some of that would be nice tonight...
Didn't it kick off a bit just before getting on the coach in 91
@Tavern drove a couple of us up to Boothferry Park in 91. We were 1 0 down with a few minutes to go and left to beat the traffic. Heard a cheer as we were getting into the car and realised we’d equalised. By the time we got going and found the local radio station, the score was 2 2. We’d gone 2 1 up but let in a last gasp equaliser.
I also copped a right hander as I was getting back on the coach in ‘86, after Flanagan has scored a late equaliser in a 1 1 draw.
"To beat the traffic", ffs was it a one way street out?
Little legs I always leave a bit earlier if I've driven to the game

He missed and hit the wall behind the goal and it bounced back.
Also got 14 chips.
I hope the claret did not ruin your trainers.
