Sargent Pepper Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 With the first Derby in over 5 years just days away i thought it would be good for us City fans to recall our favourite memories from this once epic fixture. Who knows, it may evoke a bit of passion and get a few more on the gate. Go.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 December 10th 1983 Fa Cup Gas 1 City 2 We were a div below them and had a makeshift team, can still see Martyn Hirst mis-hitting the winner!

BS3 GAS Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 2nd may 1990... nothing more to be said Sorry but you'd be the same had you won that game that aside the 3-3 draw back 87/88 season was one of the best derby matchs i've seen, early lead for us then think it went 3 -1 to you (moyes score one?) and a come back from the gas witth a jinking run and finish from Ollie... Brilliant Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC RISK77 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 not that i really count this as a proper derby, rather just another friendly and celebration of a fantastic career, but my favourite for some strange reason i think was a tuesday night circa 1993, when both clubs were in the new 1st Division. I am fairly sure the scoreline was 1-0 and Tinnion scored the winner from the penalty spot after that soppy ***** Ian Alexander got sent off for handling on the line.... Was a God awful match from what i can remember but you could cut the tension with a knife....Those were the days when derbys had some good atmosphere and they provided some competition to our superiority, however i honestly dont think we will see another competative bristol derby for a very long time, they have fallen so far behind us its comical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Orns Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 90-91 season 88th minute Donowa! Years of losing and drawing, hurt gone Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll no voice for 2 days. my favourite Absolutely this game, coupled with Leaning saving H*lloway's penalty in front of the East End The noise at the Gate when Louie put that in was deafening, went mental - will anything ever top that night for me? Nailsea - you might not find a lot of support for your vote (!), but I can imagine how that night was for you lot. It's what football is all about, as I've said many times, if the G*s weren't there then we'd have to invent them. Everyone needs someone to hate!

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 3-2 to us at Ashton Gate, December 23rd(?) 2000. Last day of work before Christmas. Went on the piss in Bedminster from 3pm onwards and arrived at Ashton Gate just in time to see the ball hit the back of the net for their first goal after about a minute if play. Poor 1st half but brilliant start to the second half with 3 goals putting us in control. Incredible atmosphere. Went back out on the piss in town after the game. Made my Christmas and probably ruined theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poland_red Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 twerton 96, was brilliant to finally pull it off at that shed. someone else mentions the 2-1 with the tinnion pen. another great night, was in the open end that game and bimley it was packed like a tin of mangoes in their. hundreds locked out that night i think and an electric atmosphere. Missed the epic Donowa game, and it remains my biggest ever city regret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what football is all about, as I've said many times, if the G*s weren't there then we'd have to invent them. Everyone needs someone to hate! Without doubt, the Hartlepool game where the stand moved was something special. But for pure Joy, Noise and loss of voice, nothing will ever top the Donowa match for me. I meant very little in the grand scheme of things.... But at the time, it meant more than all the promotions, relegations LDV finals put together, truly amazing. Made even better by Ollie missing, as you rightly say. I’m not sure if the one Ted is talking about was the game Aaron Brown ran the length of the pitch to lay it on a plate for Thorpe, but that was also a great game, what I remember more than anything, was the continuous noise in that game, as soon as we got into them, pretty much the chanting shouting and screaming lasted until the very end, unlike most games where it would start and stop. I remember being in the back row of the Dolman, and being stood up for almost the entirety of the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poland_red Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 and dare i say it, but rovers 96 was priceless to see the look on their faces after they began dancing like inbreds on our pitch - only to have a few hundred city monsters remind them that they shouldn't stray out of their playpen. not condoning what happened that match, just saying it's always pleasing on the eye to see gasheads wide eyed with panic. cheeky gits.

BS15_RED Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Coca Cola Cup August 1997, 0-0 in the first leg at the Gate, they went 1-0 up in the second half, Shaun Taylor equalised with a thumping header and then in extra time Junior Bent broke away and grabbed the winner, it was his last touch as a City player, what a present to leave us with.

ispep2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 1990 was by far the best... Louis donawa the worst..

Fodbarmyarmy Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 0-0 at Eastville in 76 promo season is my most vivid memory of a Derby match........... Promo to the 1st Div was within our grasp if we could keep it together for three more games.........Gas away being one of them Talk about nail biting.........All I could think of was how these barstewards could ruin evrything for us They didn't and we went on to return to top division for first time in 70 odd years Ws also there for the "one nil down...two one up....we knocked Rovers out the cup" game when schoolboy Martyn Hirst scored the winner........me and the Brother in law had to get tickets in the rovers enclosure (not the burnt one) it was very very very hard to keep quiet when Hirst scored.......in fact we had to get out early so we could release the tension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, it was probably the loudest I heard. 1990, was probably the worst feeling. If it hadn't been for Super Bob getting injured a month before, we wouldn't even be talking aout it, it would have been done and dusted... Such is Life!

Super Bob got a hamstring injury after scoring his hat trick goal at home to Crewe. He was rushed back to action at Bolton but he limped off injured. We are not saying he would have affected the Derby game but without him we dropped stupid points in the run-in that would have had us well clear. A defeat or draw at Orient and the defeat at Bolton.

Sure i remember after we scored we tried playing the offside trap and Rovers had about 4 through on goal and someone blazed it over (may of been twentyman) great night. although was that the night Rovers ruined the minute silence we had for our ex chairman?

Yes and no apology or expression of regret from the Rovers board I seem to remember. I remember the offside trap too, my heart was in my mouth.
