Gert Mare Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 What is the moment you remember most just before an incident/goal when you did that sharp intake of breath and time seemed to stand still? Mine was when Mark Gavin laid the ball off to Paul Mardon away at Forest in the Littlewoods Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 When John Atyeo drew back his foot and feinted to cross the ball. A moment later he cracked it into the top right hand corner to put us back in the Second Division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordie Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Ivan Sproule when he scored that breakaway goal v Southampton, i thought he had taken it to far and then he cut back inside the defender and tapped it in, i thought he had messed it up big time and then all hell broke loose, ****in brilliant.

RedYoshi Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Christian Roberts, Hartlepool. I'm surprised we didn't discover the Higgs Boson particle that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lack of Action Man Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Christian Roberts vs Hartlepool. But I think the whole stadium drew breath before the ensuing Euphoria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 After Aaron Brown ran the length of the pitch against the Gas in the 3-2 win in Dec 2000 he put a perfect cross onto the head of Tony Thorpe right in front of the goal. That's the one for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whooooossshhhh Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 When Ray Cashley lumped the ball from his box, it stayed in the air (wind assisted) for ages then beat Geoff Wealands (sp?) all ends up. Mmmmm, nice! By the way, I love you all, just for being Reds xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashtonboy Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 When Chris Garland went down on all fours to head the ball over the line against the Gas. I think it was the 6th of the game. Everybody in blue were bloody furious and the rest of the stadium just . I think Chris was fined for it by the club!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Gerry Sweeney edge of Charlton penalty area on a Friday night in 76 about 10 minutes left. City 2-1 down and needed something to stay in the promotion race Ball dropped and looked like it hit his hand on the way down. We waited for a whistle as the ball stuck under Gerry's feet. None came and somehow he swung his boot through the ball and hit the top R corner.....Nuts behind the goal....We went on to win promotion...Gerry still remembers it well!

redsapper Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 this: The goal is one of my fondest memory's but as you can see in the video the saved penalty was celebrated on the Eastend!

The Fat Controller Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I know it's not quite what you mean, but Cedric Evina seemed to have the ball on the goal line for about 10 minutes for Mark Little to slide in. A lot quicker on the replay than it seemed in real life! Also the only goal I've ever witnessed to be met with as much laughter as cheering.

cider-manc Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Roberts v Hartlepool, hands down. Got to be this one. Apart from the obvious, one I also remember vividly was Jon Stead's winner against Ipswich. He just seemed to take so much time in the penalty area and then (Just for a moment) I though we stood a chance of staying up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 A cross from the right wing and the opposition centre forward leaps into the air, catches the ball and throws it into the net. A sharp intake of breath and time seemed to stand still, for myself and the entire defence, as the referee signalled a goal. We later discovered that he had not seen the obvious handball as he had left the pitch to get his umbrella! The OP did not say that the event had to be related to a City match. The above occurred during a Suburban League match during the 70s when the official ref did not turn up. The manager was press ganged into refereeing and was more interested in staying dry, in pouring rain, than refereeing. (There should be an entire thread about amateur league referees) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
