BS4 on Tour... Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 .....seems mad that it was 5 years ago today we lost to that Dean Windass mishit 'skluff' (skluff??!!) at Wembley....such a shame we haven't moved on and are back where GJ found us. That 5 year period seems like a failed relationship - where you realise you didn't really make any progress and end up wondering whether it was a waste of a large percentage of your life!

RedM Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 It just seems such a long time ago, and what a bumpy ride we've had since on and off the field. Look at Hull compared to us since, who would have thought it would pan out like this. Suppose we had better wait and see what the next 5 years brings and revisit this thread again then!

redfred Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 That's football - at the time we all loved going to AG and felt proud of our team. How things can change so quickly. It was also five years ago that Pompey win the FA Cup and qualified for Europe.... Football goes in cycles and our time will come again pretty soon, I reckon.

redcityman Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 It went downhill the minute we decided to buy the wedding ring from pound stretchers' and instead of the promised world tour we went direct to Benidorm, on to the big day, the best man was ill, the bridesmaid tripped on the brides dress smacking her cheek on the font, the Bride didn't want Brigit Neilson as reserve bridesmaid, as it was the vicar had a penchant for cross dressing and it was decided he'd be the better option, the Paige boy performed the wedding ceremony.

havanatopia Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 But 27 years ago today city beat Bolton 3-0 to win the freight rover! Then 26 years ago today lost to Mansfield on pens. Good times I'll never forget Riley's celebration when he scored the 3rd.. sliding across the turf with his back bolt upright... good job the grass was wet that day or it would have been right painful. On a par with Roberts' slider when he scored the winner over hartlepools to send us to wemberly. I feel League 1 next season is gonna have some thrills and spills like those happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Rag Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 The thing I remember well was that rather well endowed young lady flashing her T1Ts every time we scored for the spot. The crowd did respond very well to this gesture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS15_RED Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 5 years ago today is it? Might as well be 500 years ago seeing how far away from that level now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd did respond very well to this gesture. I can remember the same thing, though not sure if it’s the same woman. The one I saw travelled on a coach to / from the game with a group of my friends and provided a lot of “entertainment” on the journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and we still have Fontaine, Carey, Elliot and Nyatanga and until recently Skuse. No wonder we have been going backwards ever since. We need to replace all these players with better quality. Although Carey has been a very good servant, it is time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 5 years on and Hull have gone up automatically.The beaten semi finalists five years ago were Palace & Watford.Hmm; anyone know who's in this year's play off final? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoingUp Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 First thought wheneve that game is mentioned is Adebola and that chance he misses after 2 or 3 minutes, how different that game and our next 5 years could have been.that windass goal was a mile offside anyway (in my personal dream world).

SimplyRed Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 This simply highlights the Board's abject failure in the last 5 years to move the club forward from that disappointment. As it turned out we went backwards, spiralling towards the drop again. The turning point, for me, was Johnson overstaying his tenure, and the Board's 'cheap option' after they were let down by Coppell. The blame lies squarely at the feet of the Board, in not obtaining the services of a quality manager who could rebuild the team for another assault on the Chamionship promotion race. As it was we got a damp squib in Millen, who struggled to put out any team capable of challenging, and the subsequent error by the Board in appointing a promising, but completely inexperienced (at Championship level), manager in McInnes. I'm still not convinced that the Board have done the right thing with O'Driscoll! (NB. When I say 'Board', I mean, of course, Steve Lansdown).
