Sweeneys Penalties Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 depressing?.......I remember Argyle fans singing to us one evening "going down, going down, going down" and all we could muster in response was "so are you. so are you, so are you".

Fpcity Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Cambridge Utd in the area final of the JPT or whatever it was called then. Pretty sure they were near the bottom of the league and an awful away record. We lost 2-0 at home. After 0-0 away in the first leg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 That Brighton play-off final is the worst for me. We were just completely inept that game. The play-off defeat by Hull was a sickener, but I don’t think it was a case of us not turning up - it was just one of those tight, cagey games that didn’t go our way. The defeat by Mansfield at Wembley was another one where we didn’t play particularly well. And yes, more recently that final home game vs Brum - I really wanted to send them down that day but we just never go going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a enjoyable game apart from the result Brighton was just awful and didn't show up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norn Iron Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 On 02/05/2020 at 22:14, Club and Country said: That Blackpool game, remember it and was there but rarely gets mentioned, in some temporary away stand on side of pitch that was literally falling apart, were we not 3-0 down at half time or something? A beautiful, sunny day in Blackpool was spoiled because BCFC refused to have a have a defence like a rock. A rock with Blackpool written inside was what the team chose. IIRC, the away tickets were sold prior to a penultimate game for one of the other contenders in the promotion race. They had won midweek making our game meaningless anyway. At least we only had to drive back to Stoke afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What games are top of your pain list? Equally as painful was his miss against Mansfield in the 1987 Freight Roger Trophy Final. He missed two crucial ones that season!

Final 3 Star Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Any of the longer-standing OTIBers remember these?... A 5-1 humiliation at Cardiff in 1966 and the final game of the 68/69 season when runaway champions Derby demolished us 5-0 at the Baseball Ground.

REDOXO Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 I was incandescent with rage after Derby. We couldn’t shoot for toffee. The glorious failure surrender monkeys in these parts made it worse. Brighton and Hull were tough. Wilson has a lot to answer for Brighton ....the Hull game, Well that’s the way it goes! If McConbe was fit It could have been different i would never say we didn’t show up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can still remember the chants of "dodgy keeper" at Steve Phillips from all four sides of the ground! Last bit not right as their ground only had three sides then.

All we had to do was match whatever Watford did, win, lose or draw as we were ahead on goal difference going into the game. For Preston it was a nothing game as they were well down in mid table and safe. Sadly, the man who'd got most of our goals that season had been sold to Man City. Jason Roberts had ****** off to the sags in a huff after 3 games on loan because Ward wouldn't let him play in an international friendly so we were left with "big" Sean Mccarthy as our only striker on the pitch. We start well and Big Sean scores his one and only goal for us making it 1-0. However, the dipshit gets injured in the celebration, hobbles off and were left with Greg Goodridge playing up front as a make do striker. I don't think we had another shot on target. Preston won 2-1. Watford had also come back from behind to win and they took the title by three points. Sean’s dad died the night before I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
