Kingswood Village Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 The goal we scored away midweek to Forest in the cup, 1st leg, put us in the lead......cant remember who scored, a defender I think. Mardon was it?It was indeed Paul Mardon - would have won it too, but for John Pender's late own goal!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pentlandsl Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 I'm guessing it was March/April 1986. 2nd leg of the Freight Rover v Hereford, City (always making things hard for themselves) are 2 - 0. Amazingly we get it back to 2-2 - then a heart stopping moment as Mel Pejic ( I think) hits a screamer against Waugh's cross bar & then.................Bang in front of the East End, the ball comes to Stevie Neville - about 8 yards out , the entire ground (bar a few Hereford fans) scream "shoot", but no, not our Stevie, instead he faints to shoot & sells a little dummy, suddenly theres silence, time stands still, we can't open our mouths else our hearts will pop out, & then the only calm head in the house calmly slots the ball into the net & the place goes mad.4 years after near extinction, City are at Wembley. I was in my early teens, i think this was the moment my love for City was sealed.A moot point but Riley & Neville showed that you don't have to have a big man upfront to do well.Remember this well as I went to Hereford for the first leg and came back gutted but it was a great atmosphere amongst the City fans at Edgar Street that night despite the loss. At home the crowd went absolutely mental when Stevie scored - a brilliant feeeling.I agree about Neville and Riley but those were the days when the whole squad were having a good time and had really bonded together.

Tinmansleftboot Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Is this what makes football special?Having read everyones replies, it's funny to see that some of the goals that were scored were of NO 'real' importance. I think sport is unique in that everything you witness will be confined to the history books and , if your lucky enough to witness a great goal, you can recall your memories!Funny what makes you remember a goal etc.Thanks everyone!RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOLMANDAN Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I wonder if thats on film somwhere? I have never seen Ray's goal against Hull City @ Ashton Gate. I think it was a night game and he kicked from Eastend to Openend. Am i right?Other way my friend i was in the East End and saw the bounce over the golies head wonderfull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Murrays goal against Oldham about 3/4 seasons ago. He started from the half way line & just kept going! We won 2-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_Ciderhead Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I'm going to be different and say Peter Beadles 94th minute equaliser against Luton Town just before Xmas three seasons ago.Because of travelling and university, I hadnt seen a City game since the previous season and thus hadnt celebrated a City goal for about 9 months. 0-1 down deep into injury time it looked as if my return to Ashton Gate would be greeted by the end of our long unbeaten run....Then Sol Davis gets sent off for a hard tackle, Tinnion quickly takes the free kick and Beadle scrambles in the equaliser!! I go absolutely ****in mental and screamed to my Dad that this team were unbeatable!! 10 seconds later and the final whistle sounds, thats how close it was.Thanks to all for your stories by the way. In these dark times, its nice to remember that supporting BCFC does have its great moments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exiledinwatford Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Surprised no one mentioned Lee Matthews (2) and Mickey Bell against you know who at The Gate in the LDV. We had a curry and a few beers at Als Tikka Grill before the game - very enjoyable night. I especially liked Scott Murray's goal against Oldham - that season he scored some crackers.

Tinmansleftboot Posted December 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 What about Lee Mathews and Lee Peacocks goals against Reading a few years back. We won 3-1 on a cold wet Friday night, I think!!Lee Mathews was a lovely goal. Little back heal from Peacock and a perfectly placed strike by Mathews.Lee Peacocks goal was the perfect header.

gaz897 Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 A 30 yrd screamer from Matty Bryant. Can't remember the year or against who. I had the perfect view when i used to sit in the Dolman Stand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Brian Tinnions indirect free kick against Chesterfield in the 6-2 drubbing, New Years Day a few years ago. The Tin Man flicked it up onto his thigh, and vollyed it in from outside the box.Not the most important goal ever, but one of the most enjoyable games I have ever seen. My wife liked the stroppy goalkeeper Lionel Perez and his bad hair being sent off too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Gow Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Amazed that no-one has mentioned the 42 Yard Jimmy Mann goal against Peter Shilton -truley the best goal ever scored at Ashton Gate. Shilton, no.1 in the world at that time, could only grasp at air as it rifled into the top corner of the net in front ofthe East End (and a 30000+ crowd I believe at the time), with me right in line with the ball as it hit the netting- still tingle today recalling it!Thats my fav too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swindon Hater Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Lee Matthews V Millwall at home, penalty..Beadle away at Rotherham 90th minute header, went mental.Roberts V QPR and Peacock V Plymouth when in the East End both times.Murray's brace at Cardiff.Tinnion's 30 yarder at Wycombe when under Joe Jordan, we were ###### but drew 1-1 and he scored a scremer.Jan Molby's own goal against Swansea, it only pulled a goal back but the City fans celebrated like we'd won the FA Cup.Peacock's freekick at Swindon.Hartlepool playoffs obviously.Mansfield away.Aaron Brown on a cold wet Tuesday night at Grimby, booked the day off work and went up with a couple of mates, scored in the last minute and went crazy, also went top of the league that night, was superb.The good old days.........

Was interested to see that Perez, now goalkeeping coach at Peterborough, was involved in a "touchline incident" yesterday. Anger management classes, anyone?
