BS15_RED Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 I was there, it still makes me giggle thinking of the Mansfield fans singing “can we play you every week” when they were 4-2 up! I was facing the wrong way after celebrating Lita’s equaliser when I turned round to see Christian Roberts smash in the winner. The Sags got hammered that day at home, and I heard a story the muppet on the PA system said “never mind, at least City lost today”, a sag mate of mine confirmed that was true. A little bit shocked to realise it was 18 years ago this November! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italian dave Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Unforgettable! Some games make a season of drab mediocrity worthwhile; this one made up for a decade!! Didnt Christian Roberts have a knack of scoring some amazing goals for us. My birthday too, just to make it perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanburyRed Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Can't believe that is 18 years ago.....where does all this time go? Mental scenes in the away end, proper scenes! Still in my top 5 games. Never did I think with the birth of my daughter that I would be visiting Mansfield every weekend to visit and every time we drive past or see the ground, always brings a wry smile to my face and a reminder of that day! (talking of time marching on, watched docu 'Ashes 2005' last night - where has that time gone? Pietersen, Flintoff, Strauss, Harmison, Hoggard, Geraint & Simon Jones etc, great team! Good insight into the fragility of the mind of a cricketer too, Ashley Giles & Simon Jones esp). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nearly got lamped by a couple of Mansfield fans walking to car. They were proper fuming and called us cheating bastards! Funny as I recall it was their fans at 4-4 who threw the ball back of stand to waste time. The ref probably played an extra 30 secs because of it and as result..

BS4 on Tour... Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 Annoys me that this game hardly gets a mention when ‘the greatest comebacks of all time’ are discussed in various publications and on websites. We were 4-2 down with 3 minutes left - but that ain’t impressive enough apparently. The last list I saw was published in a national rag and they had the greatest ever comeback as Man U 2 Bayern Munich 1 in 1999 - typical premier league bias - there have been better comebacks than ours at Mansfield too, weren’t Swindon once 4-1 down at Brum and they won 4-6? Or did I dream that one??! @Shaun Taylor ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
