Offside Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 That Donowa goal was a fantastic moment - pandemonium in the central section of the EE, especially with the goal coming after Hollowhead's penalty miss. Another one that stands out for me is the 5-4 win at Mansfield. I've never experienced euphoria like that at any other "normal" league game. From that moment when Roberts scored the winner onwards (wild celebrations in the away end, trouble in the car park afterwards, journey home, phoning my dad who had switched off the radio commentary when we went 4-2 down and still thought we had lost) everything was a happy blur. I'm still so glad I went to that game. Special mention also goes to Flint getting his hat-trick in the 8-2 thrashing of Walsall. That's still my kids' favourite game. The uniqueness of a defender getting three goals topped off a fab day in a game that had been a bit flat at the start. Lots of happy singing in the Hen and Chicken afterwards as well.

Loved it for many reasons. I hate Cardiff, the atmosphere was the most intense I've ever watched city play in, build up pre match was amazing was with all my mates and it was the day I realised that was the day as a17 year old that I couldn't live without bristol city!! I was in the home stand for that game, due to being drunk on Xmas Eve and accepting the offer of a season ticket from my Cardiff supporting mates (one of them couldn't make the game, but what they didn't tell me was that my seat was away from the other two mates....!). Typical City; when I'm hoping for a dull 0-0, they overturn a 1-0 deficit, romp to a glorious away victory and I can't celebrate any of the goals. I'm not sure what was worse, having to politely applaud the Cardiff goal or not celebrate any of ours. Still I did get away unscathed and it was actually more dangerous in the away end, I wasn't in the stand where all the real nutters were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A complete (and none too fragrant) stranger kissed me! The away game at Watford in the 97-98 promotion season when Shaun Goater ran from his own half, towards the 3000 of us behind the goal and put us 1-0 up was pretty good too, it felt like we sucked the ball into the net.

We had seven matches in January 1989 (including three Cup games) - we lost the other six, including 0-1 at home to the gas, but this little nugget was buried in the middle of them! FA Cup 2nd Round 1983 away at Rovers - Martyn Hirst, absolute bedlam! We were on our way back! Was on Cats that game as a young un.

I naively asked my mate , why is that Cardiff fan peeing in his coke bottle? The next minute there were Probaly 10/15 bottles chucked at us and it was so jammed in the away end you just had to let it hit you!! Ah well it was worth it though! Lee Matthews has never hit a ball so sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchay Red Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Agree with many of the memories on here. But for us oldies surely it has to be "that game" at Coventry to stay in the top division and send Sunderland down. Unbelievable, never seen anything like it, last 15 mins or so at 2-2 neither team wanted to attack, over 15000 City fans ecstatic and even more Coventry as well. A quite astonishing experience and all on the pitch at the end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Chris Garland`s second in THAT game V Liverpool and 38,000 fans in AG going mental to a man - awesome and something that can never now happen at home again. Just looked up the actual attendance - 38,688! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky89 Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Tammy vs Burton earlier this season! On the train home I made comments such as; "There isn't a better defensive partnership than Flint and Maggers" "Tammy will go to Russia 2018" "Good teams play poorly and win" "We'll definitely make play-offs, it's just whether we can put a run together and aim higher" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRL Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Donowa goal for me, after years of not beating the Gas. Made even better because Holloway missed a pen. Never had the same emotion since that goal... It all went into slow motion when the ball ballooned up off of Parkin, and it is the only time I have lost my voice at a football match.

Liverpool already league Champions and were 1/0 down. Two Garland goals (both diving headers from Whitehead crosses I think? or I may be loosing it!!) The whole ground going mental. all singing City,City,City in unison is something ill never forget. The second wasn't a diving header, it was a straight forward header from a cross that Clemence should have caught but made a hash of. But agree with you, a great occasion. I recall everyone clapping Liverpool onto the pitch that Monday night as they had won the League Championship two days earlier. Just over a week later they won their first European Cup. It has to be admitted that they did rest Keegan and Joey Jones for the City match with the FA Cup Final and European Cup Final their next two fixtures.
