Unan Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 JET vs the Gas, don't even remember why I missed the game but I had to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBCFC Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 Think it was a penalty, so in terms of skill it wouldn't have been particularly good, it's more what the goal meant. But the goal from our boxing day win in 2013/14. Had only missed one home game that season, which was the Crawley game- our only home league win at that point. On boxing day I was running late because of a bus being late and was walking through the turnstiles as the penalty was taken, missing the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win. So the first league win I saw that season (where I actually saw the goals) was the Stevanage game on the 29th December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate of mine did too. IIRC it was moved to the Wednesday (?) for Sky at fairly short notice and he had arranged the Tuesday night off work and couldn`t change it. I expect there were a few like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 This season, Brownhills winner v Charlton. It was 1-1 and we were down to 10 men so we left as soon as the board went up for injury time. Got to the Statue when the goal went in. I found it surprising how little reaction there was from fans outside, whereas if we had actually seen it happen we would have been going mad.

Fodbarmyarmy Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 I was in the Dolman bogs when Trundle scored v Palace.....there were a lot of us in there and time stood still as the noise from outside grew from a loud rumble of expectation as Trundle shaped to shoot to a massive roar as the ball hit the back of the net....cue a rush to lace up and get up the steps to join in the celebrations.....it was not the first goal missed by being in the toilet but probably the most important...

Bar BS3 Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Christian Roberts at Mansfield. I left a 2-4 down with 2 mins to go. I didn’t, obviously! But some people did..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, I was out on the street when I heard the roar, I didn’t think the roar was particularly loud and feared it was Charlton who’d scored until someone said it was Brownhill. First of all I celebrated, then preceded to bollock my mate for convincing me that the game was done, and to head for home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ever-red Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Korey's goal against Man Utd went for a toilet and to phone the Mrs to tell her i will be home late when on the phone turned round a bloke threw his pint up in the air and it went all over him and then had to tell the Mrs i will be home really late.

Red white and red Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Missed the goal when Lee Matthews scored a last minute penalty against Millwall, to win 2-1. Just got to Ashton road and the roar went up! That was the game where Millwall were ripping out the seats and throwing them towards the police and city fans.

Bar BS3 Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 A toilet break is one thing, but it’s unbelievable that people leave matches before the end of games where the result could still go either way..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Noble's Vs Palace. Was watching live on TV, but not there. WHAT a ******* strike that was, and what a time to unleash that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 In terms of best one I truly missed. Marlon Pack’s header v Man City. I had tickets, got all the way to Winterstoke Road with 1hr to kick-off before being told Ashton Road was closed etc and no cars could get closer to the ground. As my parking space was in the club car park, I argued, but police were having none of it. No other routes to the car park available. Tried for 45 minutes to find a parking space anywhere, even as far as away Dean Lane by Asda, before giving up and driving home to watch it on tv.

22A Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 I was working THAT Tuesday night in April 1976, so didn't see THAT goal v Pompey.. My mate who did go, was still queuing outside when the goal was scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candygram for mongo Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 I have 2 goals that I missed David Seal v Stockport ? at home in the 80’s, due to a toilet break, apparently it was a screamer from distance. Jimmy Mann v Forest, I wasn’t in the stadium as I was playing football elsewhere, again a screamer from distance. To this day I have never seen either goal on tv or any other platform.

Offside Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 It was a scrappy goal, but I was gutted when I missed our 2nd v Walsall at Wembley in 2015 - my young daughter needed the toilet at h-t and we didn’t quite make it back in time - we got to the top of the concourse steps as everyone was celebrating. Bloody children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Donny Gillies winner against Leeds in the FA Cup 5th round replay on 19 February 1974. Played in the afternoon due to the power strike I had to attend school. I actually played hockey for George Ward against Corsham that afternoon and heard the goal on the coach radio on the way back after our game.

gornagain Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 Promotion year to div 1, I turned up a few minutes late for several games. These tended to end 1-0 with the 95% of the game that I watched being 0-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
