What moment still haunts you? (9 Viewers)

[DannyThomas_1981]

Hamer’s equalizer at Wembley - the perfect goal at the perfect time. Haunts me as one of the best moments of my life - and with my family there it could not have been more special. I suspect though that we have great things ahead of us though!

Would it though? It would have made it 2-2 on aggregate. I don't think away goals was in play was it?

Not 100% sure but at the time I remember 1 goal was all we needed.

This is going to sound really random, but there's no accounting for the moments that stick in your mind.

Stan Bowles scoring a very late winner against us in the FA Cup for QPR in 1974. Was at a party listening on the radio and we all had a drunken breakdown. Time has healed things a bit .

I was there, on my dad's shoulders. Free kick from memory, last ( or almost) kick off the game.

Haworth's effott barely made it to the goal.

He was terrible.

I'll never forget that game at Barnsley where our forward line consisted of him and Kyle Lightbourne.

If there was a 'games that really annoyed you and still rankle decades later' thread, that would be right in there.

Last season at Norwich as well, 1 v 0 after 90mins and still end up losing

still too soon...

What about when you got bummed in Wood End in the 90’s?

ffs hill, live and let live….

In terms of footballing moments one that has stayed with me and always made me appreciate when things got better for us was watching rochdale fans laugh at how bad we were and i knew we were going to league 2 .. they were cheering when we had a shot etc , several hundred coventry fans , i sat in total disbelief at what was happening to us

I know robins was manager that day , but he wasnt the cause , and i think thats why i loved the bloke so much as manager because he gave us it all back .

Sad but true

I always bring it up , its always stuck with me , for me our lowest moment

Living locally I had the indignity of seeing us play at Oldham, Rochdale and Bury in the same season and go into each game with no hope and losing all three.

That 2016/17 season even if a league higher than where we ended up really was us hitting the bottom.

Nothing will ever eclipse Torp's goal being disallowed, you just don't get such a switch of emotions like that.

At least with Dabo or any penalty shootout you believe it to be at best 50:50, with Torp as far as we were concerned he'd scored and it was given on the pitch. Fuck VAR.

Catching my ex wife with my neighbour wife in my bed and making me join in for over 2 years bloody hard going and nearly finished us

Sheff Utd QF, soon as Foland let that ball under his boot to give a last minute corner away i knew we were doomed... Felt the worst i have ever felt leaving a ground even leaving wembley in the play off final.

Roland was an all time great for us and think only mistake i seen him make.

 

[MusicDating]

Yup, Sheff U 1/4 final too. Only game I missed in that season's cup run. Listened to the pen shoot out on the radio on the way back to my mate's from Walthamstow dog racing of all places and was just devastated.

Shout out for the Charlton game two seasons later after leading 2-0. Think they were the league below like SU.

Oh and the Man C last min winner in the cup a year later. Though the following riot was a handy distraction from that loss

 

[jmorr]

We’d have been relegated anyway that day even if we’d won I am lead to believe as Derby beat Man Utd at Old Trafford

Yes that’s right. Even when we were winning 2-0 at half time I was more concerned with Derby beating Utd.

Yeah that day was the worst I have felt when leaving a match. All the Sheff Utd fans were trying to goad us and I just didn’t care.

Like getting home to the Mrs telling you you’ve won the euromillions and letting you go barmy for a minute, only to say she’s joking, and instead you’ve received a fixed penalty in the post and she’s punched you in the dick and you fallen down the stairs as a result.

It’s because we were put through celebrating the goal. Personally smothering my old man screaming WE’VE DONE IT!! at him.

The flag goes up immediately and we don’t go all through that, we don’t feel as bad. That level of comedown is not healthy!
