BATTLE OF THE COLOURS.
The 35 th meeting of the forces of Everton and Liverpool under the auspices of the
League provided splendid entertainment for close upon 50,000 persons. The club met under
somewhat unusual conditions. During the week the Liverpool directors had made drastic
changes, and in the face of prospects of success were none too promising, as in all
departments save goal there were afternoons, while on the Everton side. Harrison, the
ex-Leicester player, was afforded an opportunity of displaying his skill with the hope
that the left wing difficulty would meet with satisfactory solutions. Following these
changes it was notified at the last moment that Peake who had been taken ill during the
night would not be available, and thus there was a further reshuffling of the Liverpool
halves, which, as events turned out, proved a blessing in disguise. The Anfielders won, as
has become their fashion in recent games at Goodison Park, and though there was little
indeed between the sides, the Reds could just lay claim top a slight margin of superiority
in the forward line, while in every other department were quite equal to their rivals. But
the happenings that led up to the scoring of the goals were somewhat curious, and it might
safely be stated that none of the three points recorded during the game were stamped with
the hallmark of excellence. They were what has come to be regarded as “grits,” but
these were interlarded with brilliant efforts that would not have occasioned surprise had
the respective keepers been more frequently defeated. Everton were badly hit when the
deciding point was registered against them from a free kick, which should never have been
conceded, and with no time for recovered their discomfiture was completed.
WHERE LIVERPOOL EXCELLED.
The contest provided the Liverpool team with their first victory, and at the same
time Everton's initial defeat of the season. For the greater part of the game the
Liverpool forwards were more incisive in their advances; their passing was good, and the
attacks were well conceived and executed. On the other hand, Everton's methods were more
confined, though the centre tried but vainly to make his forwards work with a semblance to
cohesion. Their play bordered upon the individual effort, which can never be depended upon
to bring success in its train, though there was a suspicious that they were none too well
served by the half-backs, who have yet to approximate the standard set up in past seasons.
There was not so effective a linking up between the two lines as was observable on the
Liverpool side, and it was in this respect that the Anfielders could claim the advantage,
which merited their final success. Defensive play reached a high standard on both sides
and while there were many fine touches by the respective keepers, there were frailties
that are rare in these keen tussles between local rivals.
INCIDENTS OF PLAY.
With regard to the game generally, it was splendidly contested, cleanly fought,
ably controlled with the one exception referred to, and worthy to rank among the many fine
expositions that have been witnessed between the clubs. A hot pace was set from the start,
and it was a tribute to training operations that throughout the whole period of play both
sides stayed the course splendidly. During the early stages the Liverpool forwards were
particularly sprightly, but those of Everton responded ably, and for quite a lengthy
period there was little between the teams. An injury, to Grenyer reduced his
effectiveness, and Goddard had quite a good time. Both keepers had several ticklish shots
to deal with, and thirty-five minutes had gone by when Liverpool opened the scoring. This
came as the result of a smart ground pass from Low to Miller, and as the home backs were
taken by surprise. Mitchell came out to prevent the Liverpool centre from applying the
final touch. He accomplished his object thus far, but had in judgement by putting the ball
to the feet of Lacey, who drove into the untenanted goal. Following this Browell was out
of luck with a couple of fine efforts, and the Anfielders retained their lead up to the
interval. On resuming, the Everton forwards were the more aggressive, and after nine
minutes' play succeeded in getting on level terms. Wareing was the executant, and to the
surprise of many Campbell let the ball leave his grip, and though a second attempt was
made to save the situation, it glanced off the upright into the net. This success served
to stimulate the “Blues” to greater effort, and for some time they wore down the
Liverpool defence. Still, though they held the bulk off the play, they were not so
dangerous in the shooting zone as their opponents had been earlier on. They were however,
the victims of ill-luck when Jefferis beat Campbell all to pieces as the referee had
whistled for infringement just outside the penalty line. This was one of the oronics of
the game, and was rough on Jefferis, who had been clever enough to recover his equilibrium
to apply the necessary touch. As if to emphasise Everton's misfortunes, a free kick was
awarded without any apparent reason, and probably none was more surprised than Lacey, who
on centreing the ball, saw it curl into the net, the Irishman, having thus recorded both
points against his old club.
PERSONALIA.
Coming to the players, and dealing first with Liverpool, one must congratulate the
new inclusions upon their excellent performance. In Speakman the Liverpool club possess a
type of exponent that can play his part well. Sturdy and fearless, yet withal axupulously
fair in his methods, he created a very favourable impression in this his first League
experience and he gave every promise of proving a valuable assist to the club. Crawford
too, played a wholehearted game and was a splendid cover for Campbell, who, though not
unduly harassed, kept his change with his customary skill. It was as half-back where
Liverpool showed a big advance upon previous exhibitions, and Low as the pivot simply
excelled himself. While breaking up the opposition in effective fashion he, true to name,
kept the ball low, and displayed a capital idea of the requirements of his forwards.
Fairfoul showed an advance upon previous performance, and with Ferguson well up to
standard the effectiveness of the half-play can be readily imagined. Miller was a capable
leader, flanked by resourceful inside men. Stewart's control of the ball and daft touches
to Goddard were sterling items, and many moons have passed since the work of the right
wing was so strongly in evidence. At the other end Lacey and Gracie also showed good
resource, and the team as constituted on Saturday can scarcely be improved upon. On the
Everton side, Mitchell apart from the lapse refereed to, kept a good goal. One of his
saves from Miller, who had eluded all opposition, was remarkably clever, but the ball that
settled the issue apparently deceived him. Macconnachie and Stevenson were stalwart and
untiring defenders, but the standard attained by the half backs was below the usual for
Everton. They had the ball too much in the air, and their passing was often ill-directed,
though allowances must be made in the case of Grenyer, who had a rude shaking up early in
the game. Forwards play did not come up to popular expectation, for advances were fitful,
and concerted movements was not by any means a strong part of their programme. Change of
positions did not improve matters, but probably their effectiveness was due to comparative
lack of support from those behind them. Harrison opened well in the first League trial,
but he tapered off as the game progressed, and the left wing problem is yet unsolved.
Browell was mainly prominent in efforts to score, and the right wing was not so trustful
as in the game the previous week at Newcastle. Teams: - Everton: - Mitchell, goal,
Stevenson, and Macconnachie (Captain), backs, Harris, Wareing, and Grenyer, half-backs,
Beare, Jefferis, Browell, Bradshaw, and Harrison, forwards. Liverpool:
- Campbell, goal, Speakman, and Crawford, backs, Fairfoul, Lowe, and Ferguson, half-backs,
Goddard (Captain), Stewart, Mller, Gracie, and Lacey, forwards. Referee A. Pellowe.

versus Middlesbrough (data photo uncnown 18.04.1914 or 20.03.1915), Liverpool used away

In 1891 the Football League required member clubs to register
their colours for the first time and no two teams were allowed to wear similar shirts. The
following year, when the Second Division was formed this rule was relaxed but home teams
were now required to have a spare set of white shirts, which could be used if colours
clashed. (historicalkits.co.uk, David Moor)
I think what in life all can was other. Teams could carry out this rule, and are
not present, photos testify as in that and in other party.

Within the last nine years Barnsley
have won eight replayed Cup-ties out of nine – the one in which they were defeated being
the replayed final tie at Goodison Park, and in the same time they have played in ten Cup
ties on their own ground, and have only been beaten twice – Blackburn Rovers, second
round, 3-2 1912-13; and Woolwich Arsenal, 2-1, fourth round, 1906-07; so it will be seen
at once that Liverpool are up against a very stiff proposition when they go to Oakwell.
Never have I seen two such strikingly dissimilar exhibitions of football as those
given by Barnsley on the last two Saturdays. Against Blackpool they could do little that
was right and proper; against Liverpool they did little that was wrong, and the Anfielders
must account themselves a fortunate side to be able to fight the battle over again, and as
the final blow has not been struck these comments need only be brief.
Barnsley are a team of Cup fighters – of that local enthusiasts are now fully
aware; and in their ranks on Saturday they had seven holders of Cup winners’ medals,
Tufnell being included in the team at the eleventh hour after an absence of about two
months.
Throughout the game the Yorkshiremen showed a much better understanding than did
their opponents, and though they bustled and strove with might and main the finer points
of the game were not lacking. They passed with considerable accuracy, and thwarted
threatening moves by Liverpool with capital judgment. The defenders on both sides played
splendidly, but none was better than Campbell, who time and again brought off wonderful
saves when all seemed lost. For these chances to distinguish himself the home goalkeeper
had to thank the sprightly Barnsley forwards – Halliwell and Travers in particular. It
was chiefly the superiority of the visitors’ forwards over the home quintet that
accounts for the fact that Barnsley deserved all the honours. In the first half the
Liverpool men did put in some useful work, and the right wing especially did well, but in
the second period they collapsed like a house of cards, and Lacey alone did anything
worthy of note. It was due to his opportunism earlier on that Liverpool held the lead at
the interval, for he snapped up a chance when the Barnsley defenders were in a bit of a
quandary and piloted the ball safely beyond Cooper. Against this goal Barnsley were able
to chalk up quite a number of well mentioned efforts, which deserved a better fate. One
excellent drive from Halliwell was well held by Campbell, and then Pursell headed down an
extremely hot drive from the ex-Prestonian; while Travers, Bartrop, and Tufnell had all in
turn caused the defenders a great deal of anxiety. But Longworth and Pursell were not to
be beaten. The former put in some of his best work, and often punted clear when matters
were looking black. Pursell had extra work to do, because Mackinlay was not at all happy
in his endeavour to cope with the onrushes of the Barnsley right wing pair. At the time
when their antagonists drew level, about halfway through the second period, Liverpool were
“not in the hunt,” as the saying has it. In fact, it is quite right to say that they
were run off their feet, and their goal was in continual jeopardy until the final whistle.
Travers notched his side’s goal, the ball striking the underside of the crossbar in its
journey into the net. Campbell made a good but ineffectual effort to get at the ball.
Afterwards the custodian had, perhaps, the busiest part of his day’s work. Twice he
scooped the ball of the goalline, and twice he had to rush out to clear when it seemed
almost a certainty that the ball must be placed into the net; but he came off on top in
each case, and thus the whole battle has to be re-fought. Can Liverpool get through? It is
very doubtful, and it would be a really smart performance if they did.
Liverpool were, as I have stated, fortunate to draw, yet had they made the most of
the opportunities they would have won. This may seem peculiar. Nevertheless, it is true.
Parkinson and Miller were not once but several times at fault when they might have scored.
Immediately before his side scored Parkinson might have earned a goal had he not hung on
to the ball too long, while both he and Miller shot wildly when a little care would have
been to their advantage. Dawson on occasion supplied his inside colleagues with nice
centres, but these were not improved upon, and the combination of Sheldon and Lacey did
not bear the fruit it deserved in the first half. At half back Liverpool were weak. Lowe
was the best of the three, but even he was not so good as usual, and he found Halliwell
and Travers a ticklish pair to deal with.

- I now not know which kits was used Barnsley and Liverpool in this match. |
|
Liverpool beat Barnsley by a
goal to nil yesterday at Barnsley. It is stale news, you say? Yes, and very nice too. It
was a great game – keen, clean with one exception, when Travers kicked Pursell and
fighting pose was adopted by both players. Referee Bamlett refereed the game thoroughly
from start to finish, and though he was unable to see the offence referred to, he was very
emphatic in informing the players that he would stand no nonsense, and that any further
offence would mean that the player would be ordered from the field. His control of the
game was capital, and it was his determined stoppage of the first rough incident that
ensured the Bury and Hull tactics being impossible.
The game was like the referee – hard. Play was fast, it was clever, dogged, and
the pace did not slacken. Some folk after half-time (it was for twenty minutes after the
interval that Barnsley made their greatest raids) said Liverpool could not win if extra
time was needed as they would not stay as well as the Barnsley men. That was a libel on
Trainer Billy Connell, who had got his men fit, and I said at the time that Liverpool
would stay if necessary, but that the game could yet be clinched in the last twenty
minutes.
As a matter of fact Barnsley actually tired towards the close, and Liverpool,
making extra effort – if such were possible – finished stringer and rattled at Cooper
as they had not done at any point previously. This was a strange awakening. The beauty of
the match from one point of view was: Liverpool’s defence being rock-like and seemingly
unbeatable, the question arose whether Liverpool would ever make Cooper handle the ball.
True, in the first half he had run out to pick up the ball, and he had shots fired
his way, the ball hitting a defender. Still, one would have thought that the Everton
lesson of Saturday last had not been lost to Liverpool. Moreover, Barnsley gave Liverpool
a perfect example yesterday: they shot often, instanter, and put plenty of power behind
their shots, too.
The score.
Cooper was unemployed almost throughout the game, and it was only when near the
finish that he looked like being beaten from a yard range. Parkinson received the ball
from Mackinlay, who beeded not the appeal for offside, and Parkinson had a perfect gift
goal. He screwed the ball outside by some process. That was five minutes from the time,
and when Travers dashed forward and shot he was quite near turning Parkinson’s awful
miss into a tragedy.
Lowe was damaged in trying to make a sure goal, and then Lacey drove to goal, the
ball dragging along and not being of pace or direction to worry Cooper. Then came the
wound for Barnsley. Play had been on the left wing, and Parkinson was put in possession.
His pass was along the ground towards the right wing. There was just a chance of Lacey
being unable to reach it, for he had been lying near the centre forward. He strode out in
his own peculiar manner, and one felt he had not only confidence in his own ability to get
the ball but to score, so “aisy” was his action. He put the ball to Cooper’s right
hand side, as the goalkeeper had me the left side his hope.
A goal! What tremendous enthusiasm. Lacey had scored at Anfield on Saturday, and
yesterday he had won the game so far as the forwards were concerned. He worked like a
tiger, and was the only forward who looked like scoring a goal. At times a forward scores,
and the credit of actually netting the ball should be infinitesimal. Lacey’s was not
that type of case. If ever a forward deserved to score for general play and earnest
endeavour, that player was Lacey. So no wonder the crowd of Liverpudlians (800 strong)
transposed the song of “1906” and made it: “Aye, Aye, Lacey Scored the Goals.”
Forwards weak.
The Liverpool forwards were frankly disappointing. Admitting that they were up
against do-or-die backs (Bethune is a specially strong back who cuts in rather dangerously
at times, and doubtless his tactics made Sheldon a trifle anxious for his limbs, good
plucked one though the Manchester man be) and tough half backs, the extreme wing work was
weak. Sheldon showed up well near the finish, but he did not act in the cloggy going.
Mackinlay was good in parts, and his centres too often hit a defender, while he and
Parkinson had offside called against them pretty frequently. Parkinson was unable to do
more than pass the ball out to the wings. He was well held by Bratley and Downs; in fact,
the latter was so impressed by his easy task that he began to take abnormal risks, and his
dribbling and dallying in front of his own goal led to his side’s downfall. There were
three occasions when Downs courted and found defeat, and one goal came therefrom
(indirectly, of course), so that the famed back blotched his copybook.
How could Liverpool expect to win if they did not shoot? While the critics says
that Cooper had but three shots to handle – one from Fairfoull after the goal had been
scored showed up Cooper in a favourable light – they do not do not do the Liverpool
forwards justice, in that they do not point to the fairly numerous occasions when shots
were luckily charged down. Still, if those critics get the Liverpool forwards thinking
about the very essence of forwards’ play I shall be thankful. If the forwards do not
shoot with more accuracy and frequency then then Cup passage will be a back passage to
Liverpool ere long. Even Gillingham could win if our forwards do not improve in shooting.
There is a shyness about shooting, and an increasing determination to pit-pat the
ball till it is in a perfect position for a shot. The ball is too frequently made “dead”
before a shot. Forwards must take risks with first-time shots, and Barnsley, for this very
reason, made Liverpool’s defence work hard throughout.
Earned their pay.
Campbell was brilliant. The more work they gave him the more certain did he place
himself for the shots that were rained upon him. His pick-up was clean, his kick was long,
until he positively tired through pressure of work in that direction; and the way he
placed himself for shots was simply splendid. “The shots went straight at him,” said
some growlers. Did they? He placed himself for the shot. Further, the shots were always of
the “beery” kind that are hard to take. A slight miss in clutching the ball and a goal
is a surety. The ball generally went head high, and Campbell took it like a first-class
wicket-keeper. It was a grand exhibition of goalkeeping, and I think the Cambuslang
goalkeeper is one of the greatest in the world. Before him were two resolute backs of
infinite strength, grim determination, and a knowledge of how and when to cut in.
Pursell had most work to do as the start, but in the end each man was tried, and
Longworth did some things which only Longworth would attempt. Longworth does them
effectively, too. Pursell once was placed on the goal-line, and he kicked away a shot that
Campbell was quite prepared to take. In the second half Pursell made another great save.
For three minutes Barnsley were hammering at the visitors’ defence. They were exciting
moments. And the wretched part of the business was that Barnsley’s chance came through
an alleged intentional handling case by Fairfoull, which was not a foul. Pursell
eventually got the ball away through heading out a strong shot.
Two appeals for penalty kicks were made by Barnsley, neither being upheld and
neither deserving to be. Only once was there a misunderstanding between the last three
lines of Liverpool. That was when Lowe and Ferguson bumped into each other, and Halliwell
took up the blunder and shot fiercely. Campbell breaking his heart by the easy way he
caught and cleared the ball.
To the captain.
The rare rear quarter of the Liverpool team was not alone in the merit. Fairfoull,
Lowe, and Ferguson made a grand half-back line. Fairfoull never wasted a ball. He passes
along the ground and gives his wing men every chance to push home a goal. Lowe’s
captaincy was useful as his dogged play. He dominated the game with his tremendous
heading, his breaking up, and his passes to the right wing. Then Ferguson’s return meant
a strong link in the half-back line. Here again the club have a man who sets his forwards
going with a ground pass. With an improvement forward and the three “back” divisions
of the team keeping up their form of the last month or so, Liverpool would beat most
sides.
Miller, while not shining brilliantly, did useful work, and once had the misfortune
to be charged full in the middle of the back by Bratley, without getting a penalty kick
for it. The fact was the Liverpool team was weak in three links only, extreme wingers and
centre-forward.
You say they were lucky, do you? You have doubtless got your opinion through
reading criticism. Let me ask you a simple question: Barnsley failed to score through
members of Liverpool playing great football. Liverpool scored although they left their
most dangerous shots till five minutes from time. Were Liverpool lucky? Ask yourself now.
Campbell is a part of the Liverpool team, and to my mind it is wrong to say Liverpool were
lucky. Barnsley were unfortunate in finding Campbell and others in brilliant form, but
Liverpool, it must not be forgotten, played over Barnsley for the first half, were riddled
for a quarter of an hour after the interval, but came again, and got on top by sheer
merit. Liverpool were no lucky. Still, certain of their forwards came near undoing all the
good work done by other divisions of the team.
Barnsley’s back were sturdy. Bratley is like Bob Clifford. Forward the inside
three were best, Tufnell being artistic, Halliwell fiery, Travers a belting good shot from
all angles. Royston, a local, was useful – built on right lines; but Barson disappointed
me, and may not fulfil the promise he holds out to our “Tick Tack” merchant, whose
company was so valued by our party.

BATTLE OF THE COLOURS.
THE USUAL AT ANFIELD.
“Grounds for players” is as sound a maxim as “horses for courses” so far as
the Evertonians are concerned, for not since the season 1899 have they yielded the maximum
points to their neighbours on the Anfield enclosure. They prevailed as usual on Saturday,
and thereby registered their sixth consecutive victory on the ground. It is an astonishing
record that probably stands on a plane by itself. It was somewhat unfortunate from a
Liverpool point of view that the players had to take the field for so important an event
within forty-eight hour's of their exacting experience in the replayed cup-tie with
Barnsley. Naturally enough, the team were not in the best condition for providing a
spirited exposition of the code such as we have witnessed in the majority of the games
between these rivals. Parkinson, Miller, McKinlay, and Pursell were reported as unfit, and
stood down, and as matters eventuated, the substitutes were not as successful as was hoped
for by supporters of the club. That Everton deserved their victory cannot be disputed, for
they demonstrated superiority in their forward line, while in every other department they
were equal to their rivals.
LIVERPOOL'S FEEBLE FORWARD PLAY.
The ability of Parkinson to take up his usual position exerused a decidedly
weakening influence on the Liverpool attack, for his substitute, Gracie, was woefully
weak, and failed altogether to keep the line going with any semblance to cohesion. Seldom
was he prepared for the incoming centres, and time out of number, in the first half
especially did he dally to such an extent that his confreres were practically left
standing still, wondering what the next move would be. There was some really capital wing
play thrust to the winds and the presence of a capable pivot in the early portion of the
proceedings at any rate might easily have resulted ion placing a different complexion upon
the game. Everton's forward play was more evenly distributed, and herein lay their secret
of success. Centres from the wings were not wasted, as was the case with Liverpool, and it
was from two of these that the pivot laid the foundation to success.
A CONTRAST.
The two periods of the game stood out in marked contrast. Beyond the incidents that
led up to Everton scoring their two goals the play during the first half was decidedly on
the tame side, and the 40,000 spectators were rendered somewhat subdued. The second
portion, however, was productive of much brighter football, interlarded with clever
touches of individualism that at times stirred the pulse of the respective supporters to
great heights. Everton were unquestionably the more efficient side during the first
forty-five, but as Liverpool gradually improved there was little between the contestants
during the later stages, when a rousing effort was made by the Anfielders, who were far
from being a spent force, to get on level terms with their opponents.
SCORING OF THE GOALS.
To Parker fell the distinction of scoring both the Everton goals, the first after
play had been half an hour in progress, and he scored ere the enthusiasm of the club's
supporters had scarcely died down. Palmer in the first place made the opening, and it
appeared as though Campbell might have saved the situation as the ball rolled under his
body while prone, for the centre to dash up and pilot it into the net. He had no chance
with the second, for on Harris putting out to Harrison the latter hooked the ball in and
Parker, with a first time drive, left the keeper helpless. Liverpool, two goals behind,
opened the second portion in more businesslike fashion, and though the right wing pair
were kept busily employed, it would have benefited the side had the left been called more
frequently into requisition. However, Metcalf drove past Fern after the keeper had but
clumsily dealt with a previous effort, and towards the close there were possibilities of
Liverpool drawing level. However, this was denied them, and they were beaten by the odd
goal in three.
EVERTON EULOGIES.
Coming to the players, and dealing first with the Everton forwards, Parker must be
complimented upon the manner in which he distributed the play, and applied the finishing
touches to the work of his comrades. Still there was not a finer performer in the line
than Jefferis, his skilful feinting and adroit passing being very cleverly executed.
Palmer displayed a more than useful turn, of speed after being somewhat inactive during
the first portion, but he is certainly not a right winger, as was plainly evidenced when
close quarters were reached. Bradshaw was a hard worker without meeting with much success,
while Harrison when the ball came his way made good use of its, and many of his placing
across to the goal mouth were timed with capital judgement. In the intermediate line
Harris was the most successful, and kept the Liverpool left wing pair subdued for the
greater portion of the game. Fleetwood was a great stumbling block to the inroads of the
Anfielders, though he was not as skilful as usual in providing his colleagues with chances
to make headway. Makepeace was up against an effective wing, and though not reaching his
usually high standard of efficiency, he nevertheless got through his work in creditable
fashion. Further behind Thompson gave a capital display and was more reliable than his
skipper, whose clearances were not so accurate as usual, while he was frequently outwitted
by the opposing wingers. Fern was not over burdened with work except during the closing
stages, but the keeper brought this upon himself by his tendency to hold the ball too long
before clearing. He courted disaster by this defect, and it would not have occasioned
surprise had he paid the penalty in the last minutes of the game.
LIVERPOOL LIGHTS
As has been indicated, the Liverpool forward play was handicapped for the want of a
leader, and it was not until the respective wings went along on their own in turn that
there was a semblance of obtaining goals. The outstanding player in the line was Lacey,
who suffered little from the Cup-tie exertions, and, with Sheldon, combined to make a
powerful right wing. The latter, however, was inclined to overdo his intricate footwork in
beating his opposing backs, and when this was discarded, and the ball swung across, better
results were in prospect. At the other end of the line Dawson made the most of what came
his way, but he was not too well attended to, and his display in the last quarter of an
hour showed what might have happened had better support been accorded. Metcalf was not the
force he was twelve months ago, but he scored the goal, and thus entranced the value of
his presence in the line. The half backs showed district signs of their recent heavy duty,
and only Low maintained the capital level, which has lately been identified with the
display of the line. Crawford was somewhat fitful, but Longworth was consistent
throughout, and covered Campbell with good judgement. The keeper, who received a great
ovation after his recent Cup-tie triumphs, kept his charge with consummate skill, and did
much towards saving his side from a more pronounced defeat, especially during the first
period, when the Everton forwards at intervals were going strongly at close quarters.
Upwards of 40,000 spectators witnessed the game, the receipts of which realised Ј1,440.

The game will be a memorable one,
not only for the heavy scoring associated with it but also for the thrills and the
thunderstorm which marked the second stage after the Mersey men had drawn level, but
happily there was not a repetition of the Preston game, though that might easily have
happened.
Liverpool are badly in need of points, and while Burnley do not stand so near the
brink – and don’t want to – two points, in view of events ahead and the stiff games
to be played in the League tourney, were of especial value, as, unless Burnley are in for
a very bad time of it, they insure Burnley from the throne of a fight for retention of
their place. Still, while there is no need for anxiety, the win gave the club and its
followers the feeling of security one experiences when “on velvet.”
When the teams turned out Burnley were wearing blue and white striped jerseys, but
owing to the similarity with those worn by the Liverpool team, whose jersey, instead of
being red, were black and white stripes, Burnley returned to the dressing-room and donned
their familiar colours.
Burnley were without David Taylor, Billy Watson, and Bert Freeman, whose places
were filled by Bob Reid, Thorpe, and Pickering, the first named making his first
appearance in the premier team’s ranks since November 1912, while Pickering made his
debut as a First Division payer. All things considered, the pair did very well. William
Lacey, who was assisting Ireland against Scotland, was the notable absentee from the
Liverpool eleven.
Boyle won the toss and decided to operate towards the Beehole goal, thus availing
himself of the breeze, while Liverpool had the sun in their faces.
Burnley were soon in evidence, for barely three minutes had elapsed when they opened the
scoring with a beautifully got goal. Pickering sent the ball out splendidly to Mosscrop,
who centred, and Pickering played it as it went across to Lindley, who, close in, headed
into the net.
Though they Mersey men invaded the Turfites’ territory a few times, they could
not for a long time be described as really dangerous. About a couple of minutes from the
goal being scored, Hodgson nearly scored and Mosscrop was busy. Miller tested Dawson, but
the bulk of the pressure was exerted by Burnley, who were constantly on the attack, and
the Liverpool goal was literally bombarded.
Campbell was called upon three times in rapid succession, shots coming from Boyle
and Thorpe. For a change the visitors paid a brief visit to the Burnley goal, but Burnley
returning by excellent play, Hodgson was fouled by Lowe in the forbidden area, in 20
minutes, and from the ensuing penalty Boyle popped on the second.
Burnley were playing fine football, were often dangerous, and Campbell was several
times troubled. At length the visitors won a corner, and Dawson dealt with a good attempt,
while Bamford and Boyle did good defensive work.
At the end of half an hour Sheldon got away and centred. Reid failed to intercept
the ball, and Banks reduced the home team’s lead with a cross shot. After this Liverpool
did better and the home defence was severely tested, and by way of response Campbell was
found more work. Play favoured Burney, though Dawson was requisitioned again, and, in one
of the tussles in front of the Burnley goal Nicholl had a splendid chance of placing his
side on level terms, but he sent over the bar from close quarters, and at the interval
Burnley led by 2-1.
It is not too much to say that Burney for about twenty minutes had considerably the
better of the bout, and came near scoring, for Longworth kicked out from the line, and on
another occasion a shot from Lindley went over from the hands of Longworth. A penalty was
claimed, but the referee gave a corner.
For the greater part of the period named the Liverpool backs had a warm time of it.
Mosscrop on two occasions caused trouble, but the defenders, including Campbell, emerged
from the struggle triumphantly, though they had to concede corners.
After 18 minutes’ operations Liverpool got away and made their first serious
attack after the resumption, and the movement ended in the downfall of the Burnley goal.
Miller shot, and the ball went to Nicholl from Dawson’s save, and the Liverpudlian sent
the ball into the net, Dawson at the moment being out of his charge. Thus Liverpool were
on level terms.
For the next ten minutes or a quarter of an hour Liverpool, who played capital
football and had the stimulus of the goal to encourage them, were persistent. At this
juncture the light became very bad and there were rumblings of thunder.
The play, which was fast and exciting, was punctuated with flashes of lightning.
Directly there was a terrific downpour of rain, and amid this Dawson made a splendid save
from Miller.
Directly afterwards Dawson advanced from his charge as the Liverpool centre came
down again in menacing fashion and beat the backs. The half backs had either got so far up
the field as to be unable to recover, or were inclined to treat the situation lightly. In
the semi darkness Miller got in a terrific shot, and Dawson fisted out in nothing short of
wonderful fashion. It was really surprising that he could see the ball, and his feat
deserved the cheers it elicited. The ball rose in the air and turned over for a corner.
For a time there was little or no improvement in the light, and it was difficult to
follow the ball, but Burnley were putting forth every effort to retrieve the lost ground.
At the end of 30 minutes Thorpe sent in a fast shot from quite 20 yards’ range, which
entered the net, thus putting his side ahead, amid enthusiastic cheers.
By this time, owing to the heavy rain, the ground was in a very sloppy condition,
but the light improved, and there were a series of onslaughts on Campbell’s charge.
Seven minutes after Thorpe’s successful shot, Mosscrop being again busy, the
International won a corner, and in the ensuing tussle Pickering headed his first League
goal.
In the closing stages there was a succession of assaults on the Liverpool goal, and
about three or four minutes from time, following smart work among his colleagues, the
movement being initiated by Halley, Mosscrop, after dribbling on, sent in a cross shot,
which struck the inside of the upright and crossed the line. Lindley dashed into the goal
at the same instant, so that if it had not already been a goal he would have made
assurance doubly sure. Burnley won a remarkable game by 5-2

"Played at Anfield, in fine
weather, before 10,000 spectators. Both sides were strongly represented, Lacey returning
to the Liverpool side. The home team were early prominent, and after good work by Sheldon
and Banks, Molyneux saved from Nicholl. Woodward was prominent after this, but the
Liverpool defence was safe, and Molyneux saved a good shot from Miller. Play was good, and
for the most part even, but the shooting was weak. At the interval there was no score.
Liverpool started the second half in spirited fashion, and Banks scored in eight
minutes from a centre by Lacey. A minute later Miller added a second goal from a centre by
Sheldon. Campbell later saved a couple of good shots, and Woodward was wide of the mark.
Lacey was very prominent, while Sheldon and Lowe tested Molyneux. Banks scored a third
goal.

- I now not know which kits was used Middlesbrough and Liverpool in this match.
Have photo with match, but data photo unknown (18.04.1914 or 20.03.1915), I can to assume,
that in this match Liverpool may be used away shirt.
In 1891 the Football League required member clubs to register
their colours for the first time and no two teams were allowed to wear similar shirts. The
following year, when the Second Division was formed this rule was relaxed but home teams
were now required to have a spare set of white shirts, which could be used if colours
clashed. (historicalkits.co.uk, David Moor)
I think what in life all can was other. Teams could carry out this rule, and are
not present, photos testify as in that and in other party.

LIVERPOOL'S first FA Cup Final ended
in disappointment for they had dominated for much of the game, only to go down to a fine
individual goal at the Crystal Palace.
Burnley were first to show and with the game less than a minute old, Lindley
thundered a shot against the Liverpool crossbar.
The opening exchanges were fought out in both penalty areas and Burnley squandered
several good opportunities. Eventually, Longworth and Pursell contained the danger and
gradually Liverpool began to assert themselves. Sheldon was the architect of several
promising moves, but his efforts were wasted by poor shooting from his colleagues.
After 20 minutes, Liverpool found the back of the Burnley net - a fine effort by
Miller from Sheldon's accurate centre - but the referee ruled Miller offside.
Miller went close, Nicholl's shot struck the crossbar, and Sheldon forced a save
from Sewell as Liverpool's half-backs broke up Burnley's attacks and created many openings
for their own forwards, but still the goal would not come.
Irish international, Lasey, beat Bamford and Halley before sending in a cracking
shot wnich brought Sewell to his knees, and still Liverpool pressed forward without
success.
The pattern was the same after the interval and with Liverpool becoming more
frustrated, Burnley broke away away and scored. Hodson tapped the ball to Freeman and the
Burnley centre-forward voleyed home a magnificent shot.
Liverpool dominated the remained of the game, with Sheldon, Longwort, Fairfoul,
Lasey and McKinlay all going close, but the Cup was Burnley's. |
