Well, here's a Tuesday night 'Blackpool' match that was FAR from a disappointment - Tuesday, the 9th of March 1993.
In front of a crowd of 5,959 (ah, the good old days...) Argyle pressed the self destruct button when a young Jock Morrison launched himself into an Exocet tackle early in the first half and was (appropriately) sent off. My memory (possibly faulty) is telling me that we went a goal down but came back to win 2-1, with goals from Gary Poole and Steve Castle. And with only ten men!
My diary entry after the match reads, 'In the evening I was privileged to be at Home Park to witness one of THE great performances from an Argyle side that I can remember. They beat Blackpool 2-1 but the manner of the victory was something else. They had Jock Morrison sent off early in the game but the ten men fought like tigers and completely outplayed, outran and outfought the opposition. A stirring performance that will live in my memory for a long, long time'.
As 25 years is a 'long, long time' I hope I will be excused a possible incorrect recollection of the order of scoring but I would give anything to see the same sort of performance tomorrow - and a similar scoreline.
