[Guest paulton rovers red]

funniest moment watching city

mines is when city played oxford ages ago early nineties and everytime oxford had a goal kick there very tall centre forward would put both arms in the air.

then all there fans in the open end would do it then all the city fans in the east end would do it aswell.

also remember that game for ray atavald backpassing straight to one of there players to set up the equaliser.

I'm there are much better ones let me know

I remember a night game against Brentford a few years back. St Johns Ambulance ran onto the pitch with a stretcher and carried off an injured Brentford player. When they reached the touchline, someones grip must of went as the stretcher swung verticle and the Brentford player just crashed to the ground. Classic moment as the fans cheered the St Johns crew.

last season at home in the on the dolman side towards atyeo end

i don't quite know how murray did it,i think he was jumping and bouncing about warming up.

To balance that one, it was sweet watching Beadle notch against you.

That was the one and only Llloyd Owusu who has gone back to Brentford. I rembered being rather concerned when the doctor came on the pitch to see if he was ok. Then a wee bit later they covered hm with a black blanket. Thankfully he wasnt dead(as first thought) but merely had a broken collarbone.

think it was 19 minutes of injury time(which it was then known!). Carling cup 1st round. We then had to replay as it ended 0-0 was the longest night ever! :Sleep15:

[Port Said Red]

Most of the funny incidents at the ground fall into the "you had to be there category". I quite enjoyed Beadle and a couple fo the others trying to hit City cat in the back during a pre match warm up once.

When the Atyeo was first built, I used to like the way we used to catch out the opposition players as they ran out onto the pitch to warm up. We used to start a smattering of applause as they came out of the tunnel, and as they turned around to acknowledge what they thought were their own supporters, we would give them an :razz: :razz: :razz: aaaaahhhhh.

Oh yeah, and beating Chelsea 3-1 in the FA cup a pretty funny day all round. The best bit was when Bob Taylor took an airshot at a certain goal and Robbie Turner thumped it in for him, we all convinced ourselves that Superbob had dummied it.

How about the 25th of July.

Screamer from Grant was it????

scuse me while I clear my throat *cough cough - 1 nil cough cough*

[Guest C.T.I.D]

The night at AG when every Rovers attempted "pass", invariably 40 yards long and the same in height, was greeted by a spontaneous "whoosh" all round the ground. The gas were so crap I think even your lot joined in.

BTW, how is the neck ache?

[arpaul]

Back in early eighties, two City players were noticed by the ref for having the same numbered shirt on. Tom Ritchie, raced to the touchline ripping off old shirt, and ran back on the pitch still pulling new one over his head. He played the rest of the half with his new shirt back to front.!!

Or Robbored biting into his Balti pie during half time Versus Wycombe in LDV. As he bit into the pie, the filling shot out the other end onto the seat in front.

Now that I would have liked to have seen.

Was there anyone sat in front?

[fRed]

No-one's mentioned the 3 pigs and Wolfie!

We also had a good chuckle at the gate when a women lineman disclocated her shoulder and couldn't continue. Shouldn't laugh really How on earth could someone dislocate their sholder waving a flag?

[robins72]

arpaul a similar thing happened at Stoke a few seasons back. We took red shirts to the game and the linesman got really confused and put his flag up on numerous occassions! The second half we put on our green away kit but the squad numbers were different so the ref was getting very confused when booking players as there numbers changed. It didnt help that day wither cos we lost 1 nil and murray got sent off for a second bookable offense the latter being a dive!

[Guest Lee4BristolCity]

couple of seasons back, a friendly against leeds at AG,

The ball got kicked on top of the williams, and it came back down and hit a camera man on the head!

[Wardie]

Christian Roberts getting mobbed by city fans at the final whistle against hartlepool

[Rich-TWSC-]

Bizarrely enough I was in the Atyeo when Iain Baird gave you all a finger gesture!

That was funny.

(1-1 with Chelsea I think)

[Dollymarie]

What always makes me laugh is watching the players run for the tunnel when the whistle blows on the last home game. U can just see the last five minutes, nobody wants to go up the away end in case they don't make it back down when the fans invade the pitch

[Guest Frank]

First game of the season v Portsmouth a few years back (Jacki's first game I think). The away fans were in the open end (now Atyeo) and our fans were being cheeky monkeys in A and B block of the Dolman.

I think Portsmouth fans were getting turned away as their end was full, so they came into the Dolman and were met by a reception committee. Anyway one guy was right at the top of the Dolman and in his hurry to get involved in the fisticuffs he took the steps a bit too quickly and cartwheeled all the way down to the bottom. I presumed he must be dead, but he jumped up and started throwing his fists, but was set upon by Portsmouth fans and had his denim shirt almost completely destroyed in seconds. The thing that gave it classic comic effect was that he had a fag in his mouth and it stayed in place throughout the entire ordeal.

Now I in now way condone violence, but that was funny.

I guess you had to be there.

Mmmm!!!!! was that the night everyone was screaming for Grant Smith to put the ball out of play becuss of an injured Rovers player on the pitch. So he did he put the ball out of play in the back of their net.

[Maesknoll Red]

The final home game of the 89/90 season, pitch invasion to celebrate promotion, thousands of fans in front of the grandstand waiting for the team to appear, all singing to the TV gantry......

"We all agree, Roger Malone is a w****r"

I WASN'T! I was cleaning my pipe. I keep it in my slacks pocket. And I had asthma. Alright?

I remember that game very well. I was sat in a Church at a wedding in Yeovil and hid a radio inside the suit jacket and was listening to the game via a small headphone. Halfway through the service, the jack plug fell out and the City game was blasted out via the radios speaker.

It took me ages to find the inside pocket to get to the thing and turn it off.

HTV sports presenters have always been held in low regard, but back then, yours, was an ironic iconic status Rog.

[Guest MaloneFM]

Its also quite funny watching posts getting removed for no apparent reason. Remember the picture of the ginger woman that was supposed to be Faustus missis on here earlier?

Where's that gone suddenly? I find that funny.

[dolman_bcfc]

2 seasons ago away at Luton (3-2)

Before the match when the players were warming up Tinnion kicked the ball into the fans. Some bloke infront of me punched it up into the roof rafters it bounced around like playing ping pong then came straight down and smashed a womans glasses infront. :razz:
