Offside Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 It’s up there. Ashton Gate erupted when that goal went in (as it did for Bryan’s goal as well) and it has joined my list of special moments - in no particular order: Roberts’ winner in the 5-4 Mansfield win. Donowa’s winner against the fewers. Also Hollowhead’s penalty miss. I knew we were going to win when that happened. Flint’s hat-trick goal against Walsall. Trundle v Palace. Tinnion at Anfield. Everything about Wembley in 1986. I can only remember a couple of specific moments from that game (especially the first goal) but the overall magical feeling from that day has stayed with me. All these are special in their own way. Impossible to put them into any order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me yes. We had not beaten them for years. Beating your local rivals meant and still for mean more than beating man u.

MarcusX Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 It’s up there for me with Noble v Palace away, Trundle v Palace at home and I don’t think I’ve been at any of the other big moments. There was probably a few last minute winners and equalisers in the play off season that at the time were massive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leveller Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I can't see anybody has mentioned Cheesley's winner at Highbury - our first game back in the First Division and we won away at Arsenal. That, and Tinnion's at Anfield for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before that the away win at Leeds in the FA Cup was equivalent to winning away to Man City now. But last night's game was the best we've had for ages.

1stCityExile Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I was too young to travel to the Coventry game, but if I had been there, I might have rated that first. Of all the others mentioned, last night, the atmosphere, the sheer joy of that last minute goal, plus the class of Bryan's goal, just standing in that stadium soaking up the atmosphere, realising that, finally, after 40 bloody years we are finally getting back to the big time...I can't think of another game to match it. Being there with my son added to the occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 It's hard to say really- thinking about it in no particular order: Last night was hard to top really. That last minute winner, vs a team who speacialised in Fergie time- couldn't write it better. Hartlepool 04 was brilliant- all hope was lost, then suddenly, goal and GOAL! Roberts obviously the key moment there. Trundle v Palace- the surge of belief that we were on the verge of a return to the Big Time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Phillips last minute penalty save at the gas which effectively sent them down circa 2001 Murray at Cardiff Roberts v Hartlepool Trundle/Noble v Palace Smith v Man U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS2 Red Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I think last night would have been my number one moment except for the fact that I wasn’t able to make it last night and so was watching on a stream. Trundle v Palace is therefore still my number one moment. Hopefully the last minute winning goal by Flint against Arsenal at Wembley in February next year will top it all.

KeepUpLino Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 That Goal last ngt tops the lot for me, truly incredible! A moment my 10 year old son will never forget.. should have seen his face Having gone to both Palace play off games it's a hard call between Noble and Trundle goals but Nobles comes 2nd for me, what an incredible moment and goal that was :))... memories that will live with us forever!

RedJim Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I was at the Hartlepool and Palace games but last night wins it for me. I keep getting emotional every time I watch the winning goal back. An 'I was there' moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackiDziekanowski Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Last night best by far - I actually thought I was going to pass out after Korey's winner.
