Who else was at Villa Park in 91 when we had to draw to stay up? Conceded a goal by Regis after about 25 seconds and we kicked off!

I like the positive intent from kick off.

None of this 'keep possession and knock it around at the back nonsense'

I would say noon on a Sunday is the worst kick off time.

In the Holte end with a mate (villa fan).
What looked initially like a terrible afternoon, was saved by Notts County and Rob? Matthews.

Was there with a mate, who spent the whole of the first half saying "And Luton are winning..." before someone told him to "SHUT UP ABOUT FUCKING LUTON." It's a comment very much still relevant today...

Probably when we went through the phase of booting it out of play every kick off. I can't remember which manager it was under.

Didnt England have to win 9-0 or something that game?

Mind you, at least San Marino had kick off to start with!

I remember them interviewing City fans before the match on CWR and one piping straight up with "shit on the villa"

Rob Gurney cut him straight off and said "i'm not quite sure what he said, but let's hope we do....."

Not too sure about kick offs but I could make a list as long as my arms about games we’ve fucked up in added time by conceding x2 goals

Crystal Palace and Blackpool both away both on Tuesday nights and both in the Andy Thorn season for a start

A special mention for Derby when when we went 2-0 up around 81st minute and then avoided losing 3-2 thanks to the crossbar.

That was a grim away day. Managed to get thrown out for bad behaviour as well - actually it was probably a blessing.

Up until 2020 Portman Road may as well have been Deepdale. Terrible record there

Can't remember the year, but Osbourne floundering at right back, us losing 4-1(?) stands out as a particular highlight.

tbf, is usually far easier to recall the humiliating thrashings of years gone by than the heroic victories!

Was that Stewart Robson losing the ball after kick off and then running around aimlessly

The thing is, back in the day we always kicked off at 3:15 at HR on a Saturday.

Yeah it was. I always have an urge to leap to Robson's defence on here because he gets some stick and was actually a superb player for us for most of his first season. But then I remember that kick off!

I played in a walking football game where we went 1-0 up from the opponents kick off without our team getting a touch

Equally the 1-0 win we got there in 2020 was when I became convinced we’d go up. Really confident performance that was.
