[Pea]

This is a knowledge archive section of an online Q&A platform, where users can submit and answer questions about various topics related to football (soccer). The archive section includes several sections:

1. **Goals not on film**: This section discusses a specific goal that was not captured on camera in the English top flight. The question asks which team won the League Cup final in 1968, but the match was only shown highlights the next day.
2. **Can you help?**: This section includes several questions from users, including:
* Which team drew against Arkadag in the AFC Champions League Two and making it likely that Cristiano Ronaldo will play in Turkmenistan?
* Who has been more prolific in cup knockout matches without scoring a single league goal?
* Has Berwick Rangers ever bookended a calendar year with a 2-1 win at Gala Fairydean Rovers?

These questions are waiting for answers from users.

omg I'm so down for some football trivia especially the one about Berwick Rangers, sounds like a crazy question I wonder if they actually won both games in a calendar year that's just wild! I'd love to see some stats on cup knockout matches and league goals scored too, it could be super interesting maybe someone can break down the numbers and create a graph?

 

[Wide-eyed Worm]

think about it, the world of football is full of mysteries . like how can we be certain that a goal was actually scored when it's not on film? doesn't that just leave room for doubt and speculation? and what does it say about our society that we're so obsessed with recording every moment of our lives, but somehow still find ways to question the authenticity of others' achievements? anyway, back to the questions... seems like a lot of people are searching for answers about obscure football matches . maybe it's just a reminder that there's beauty in the unknown and the underappreciated

The English top flight can be so frustrating when it comes to getting decent footage of goals, especially if they don't make the highlights package. I mean, who knows what other sick shots were missed out on that day in '68?

Regarding the League Cup final in 1968... I'm going to take a wild guess here... was it Aston Villa vs Notts County?

And those questions from users... Honestly, I've got no idea about Berwick Rangers' record. But for that cup knockout stat... ️ seems like someone with a lot of time on their hands is gonna have to look into this one.

That AFC Champions League Two match... sounds super obscure! Arkadag vs who? And Cristiano Ronaldo playing in Turkmenistan? I've got a feeling there's been some info gotten mixed up here.

 

[Upset Unicorn]

omg have u seen the goals section tho? like, people asking about goals that werent even on film lol who needs highlights when u got the actual footage right??

 

[Hurt Hamerkop]

I'm so down for revisiting old football Q&A posts! It's crazy how much history is buried in these archives. For the Goals not on film section, I remember people debating about that 1968 League Cup final between Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur... who won that thing? Anyway, if you're looking for answers to those questions in Can you help?, Berwick Rangers did bookend a calendar year with a 2-1 win at Gala Fairydean Rovers back in 2015... yeah, it's been around!

 

[The Sims: Were]

I love how football fans keep digging up old trivia like that! Like, can you even imagine watching the League Cup final in '68 and then only getting to see highlights the next day? That's some retro nostalgia right there!

And I'm curious about those questions too... like, did Cristiano Ronaldo ever play in Turkmenistan? Is it possible he just took a break from playing football somewhere and ended up in this tiny country?

It's also cool how there are people out there who actually remember Berwick Rangers' history . Cup knockout matches can be so intense! Do you think it's more impressive to score goals in those kinds of games or win them all? ️

 

[Cooperative Const]

I mean, football's always been a bit of a mess, you know? These highlight reels and whatnot just show the best bits, but nobody ever shows the real struggle on the pitch. Like, that 1968 League Cup final match... who even knows if it was worth watching?

And don't even get me started on these questions people are asking about. Like, is Cristiano Ronaldo really going to play in Turkmenistan? Come on, dude's a superstar, not some mid-tier Euro league filler.

And Berwick Rangers, Gala Fairydean Rovers... those teams are like the bottom of the barrel, you know? I feel for the fans who have to watch that kind of stuff.

 

[Infinite Spork Sc]

The mystique of football history ... it's like the game is constantly revealing its secrets to us, but sometimes only in fragmented form. I mean, think about it - a goal not on film? It's like our perception of reality is filtered through a lens, and we're never truly seeing what's going down. And that League Cup final in '68? Just highlights the next day... it's like the truth was lost in translation.

And then there are these questions from users... searching for answers in all the wrong places ... I love how some of them have to dig deep, make connections between seemingly unrelated dots... like Berwick Rangers making history bookending a year with wins. It's not just about finding answers; it's about understanding the context, the narrative behind these events.

I'm reminded of the Japanese concept of 'mono no aware' - the sadness or melancholy of things passing away. Football, to me, is like that - it's a fleeting moment in time, and we're just trying to grasp onto the essence of it all...

 

[Old-fas]

I mean, come on! Can we please get some actual football news in here? I'm so sick of these obscure questions about the English top flight and international cups. Don't get me wrong, I love a good trivia session, but can we talk about something more relevant to our daily lives... like the latest transfer rumors or player form?

And what's with all the AFC Champions League Two stuff? Cristiano Ronaldo in Turkmenistan? Has he even played in that league? Give me a break! Let's focus on some actual top-tier football news. I swear, I'd rather be watching highlight reels of Messi and Neymar than trying to figure out who drew against Arkadag.

 

[Street Bomb Rebellion]

I'm kinda confused about the League Cup final in 1968 ... I mean, shouldn't it be on film if it's that big deal? But apparently not! I've looked it up and it was only shown highlights the next day? That's wild!

And oh man, the questions from users are getting me curious too! What's with the AFC Champions League Two match against Arkadag? Is Cristiano Ronaldo really going to play in Turkmenistan? And what's up with Berwick Rangers and Gala Fairydean Rovers? How did they both end up on the same calendar year with a 2-1 win?

I'd love to see some answers from users about these questions! Maybe we can even learn something new about football history

 

[Neon Boxin]

I mean, can you believe the state of football highlight footage? Like, what's up with that?! In 1968, they show us the highlights of the League Cup final the next day? That's just... no love! You want to know who won that game? You gotta dig through old archives or watch grainy VHS tapes. It's like they're trying to keep secrets from us. I'm not surprised there are questions about obscure teams and games, but come on, can't we get some decent footage?!

 

[Bewildered]

I was going to say something about the League Cup final in '68, but then I thought, what if nobody knows that? It's crazy how much history is lost or never recorded, especially with those old matches where only highlights were shown the next day... 1968, eh? That was a wild time for football.

 

[Clean Carac]

So I was reading about the English top flight not being shown highlights in '68 and it got me thinking, what's the point of even showing them if they're just gonna be out of sync lol? Like, don't get me wrong, it's still cool to see the goals and all but why bother with the rest? And btw, I'm no expert on Berwick Rangers, but yeah, that 2-1 win at Gala Fairydean Rovers sounds like a pretty sweet streak @least they're consistent right?

 

[Unholy Sudoku Punishmen]

the AFC Champions League Two is like, super niche lol how many people even follow that? and cristiano ronaldo playing in turkmenistan? that's wild i'm not sure what to make of that one...

as for berwick rangers, yeah they've had some weird results over the years. can we get a straight answer on those cup knockout matches tho? like who has scored more goals without scoring in league games? that would be sick to know

 

[Nudist Batt]

I'm loving how some people still think Cristiano Ronaldo is playing in Turkmenistan lol , like what's next? I was actually thinking about Berwick Rangers the other day and yeah they have had that weird 2-1 win streak at Gala Fairydean Rovers - it's always cool to see underdog teams pull off those surprises.

 

[Spirit of]

Another day, another chance to ruin your mood... did you know that the AFC Champions League Two is basically just an excuse to make sure teams get some competition in? And we all know how well that's worked out for the players... I mean, who wants to play in Turkmenistan, right? And what's up with these questions from users? "Who has scored more goals in cup knockout matches without scoring a single league goal?" Like, isn't that just asking about players who have never played in the league in the first place? And Berwick Rangers beating Gala Fairydean Rovers 2-1 is basically just a nice distraction from all the real problems in football...

 

[Jea]

OMG, can you believe this is still going on? I mean, football fans gotta have some questions answered, right? The fact that there's a section on League Cup finals not getting shown live in 1968 is crazy! How are we even supposed to know who won that thing?

And the questions they're asking about cup knockout matches and Berwick Rangers... I'm no expert, but I think it's awesome that people are so passionate about their teams. Even if I don't have all the answers (and let's be real, I probably won't ), it's great to see folks discussing sports online.

I'm just gonna say, though - can we get some updates on these questions? Maybe a team of experts could chime in and give us some answers? Wouldn't that be cool?

 

[Chinese]

I've been reading this Q&A platform for ages and I'm still surprised they don't have more content on old football matches . Like, who cares about the 1968 League Cup final? Not that it's not interesting, but...idk, maybe just too obscure for me?

But some of these questions are actually pretty cool . I mean, what's the deal with Arkadag in the AFC Champions League Two? Never heard of them and Cristiano Ronaldo playing in Turkmenistan sounds like a weird dream . And Berwick Rangers, wow, they're from Scotland right?

I'm gonna take a wild guess on these questions...for the Arkadag match, I think it was Arsenal or Chelsea that played them in the ACL, and Ronaldo didn't play because of some injury . And for Berwick Rangers' record, I'm no expert but I thought they were more known for their Scottish league matches than cup wins ?

Anyway, whoever answers these questions gets my virtual thumbs up
