bristolborn_and_red Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Obviously, i can only comment on the time i have been on this mortal coil. So here goes.Beating Leeds Utd in the FA cup (believe me they were the team to beat) 73 or 74?Ray Cashley scoring from his own penalty box.Beating Portsmouth 1-0 to send us up to the top fleight of English football.Beating Arsenal 1-0 in our 1st game in the top fleight.Paul Cheeseleys career ending in our 2nd game in the top fleight. :sad56: That night in Coventry to keep us up.All our relegations :sad56: All our promotions Newport 1982 thinking it would be our last ever game, but it wasn't Daffy duck cup finals against Bolton, Mansfield, Stoke and Carlise. All good days out.The league cup semi-final against Forest even though we lost.The Reading riot, allegedly the birthplace for the CSF.I'm sure there are many more, feel free to add.

Remind those sags of this if they ever mention swansea.It was indeed 0-1 at half time.Can you remember Chris Garland rounding the hapless bluenose goalie for no.6 i think, rolling it up to the goal line, stopping it, then bending down on all fours to head it over ! Absolute quality moment !!! I think he got fined for unsportsmanlike conduct or some such nonsense. Top man and legend Chris Garland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When murray scored and ran down the line! happy dayz!A cupla my best mates are Cardiff season ticket holders, & i was sat with them on the 'Popular Side' right in line with Murray when he scored. They'd been giving him terrible stick the entire game, and he came running straight over to the area where we were sat, showing them his name on the back of his shirt. I can't tell you how difficult it was for me to keep my mouth shut ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
