22A Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 Found this by chance on Youtube. A few more City clips on the side. I remember one Tuesday night City had won 2-1 at Grimsby, hearing Plymouth had lost 3-0 at Tranmere and we all thought We are going up! That season is summed up by one of the accompanying comments to this clip; "Eleven in a row and still didnt go up.....that was the most heartbreaking season ever". 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cellist Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 There are some cracking videos up on youtube from that era. I wish the club would put more up more from 90s-00s (or earlier!) when they put up footage of a so called "classic match" on twitter/robins tv - much more interesting that what they usually put up. I guess in fairness we don't play Oldham, Chesterfield and Port Vale very often anymore. Was looking through some highlights from 2000-2002 the other day - had forgotten what a player Tinnion was. The range of passing, quick vision, the weight of the ball, absolute quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshtonRobin21 Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 This was the team that made me fall in love with city as a young kid. Tommy Doc was my hero as a kid. Tinnion and Bell were great to watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baba Yaga Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) Remember on the day of the Brighton final game feeling confident that we were going to get promoted, whoops. Also felt confident after the QPR and Plymouth wins, and after the 11 game winning run. Was shocked to see such a terrible game and then getting beat with a late penalty. A season with some massive games and great moments but a brutal ending. Edited September 8, 2022 by Baba Yaga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or whatever he said to boil the piss of the board. He said losing the final “wasn’t a failure”. Despite our performance being a cure for insomnia & on a par with anything Pulis served up. Bit like bottling the playoffs against Cardiff the year before. Having a £1m striker to pair with one he paid £600k for (in third tier football), boring us all rigid in 03/04 with just 59 goals scored in 46 games (champions Plymouth only scored 7 fewer than this at home). The bloke was a serial failure over 4 pointless seasons who presided over a totally unprofessional, spineless group of pissheads, but we scored more than anyone else in 02/03 (when we failed to go up again). Myth. Edited September 10, 2022 by GrahamC 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 It was the 0-0 at home to Brighton, 3-2 defeat at Luton and 3 defeats in a row in the March that did us over. All we needed was to not drop 2 points 01-02 and 02-03 saw similar end of season collapses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted September 11, 2022 Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 Was this season when Aaron Brown broke his leg?

I remember posting here under my old username how shocked I was by a small minority of our fans cheering when he went off. Disgusting behaviour.
