Own Goals and Gaffes

[Summerof69]

I remember us beating Nottm Forest 2-1 at home courtesy of 2 own goals a few seasons back.

That makes me fucking seethe to this day. Useless twat. He did a very similar thing v Torquay in the League Cup the same season.

What about that Bristol City bloke in 04/05? the 1-1 game at our place. Rory scored that unbelieveable overhead effort to equalise and then he missed a sitter in the last minute - Lee Miller I think?

Funniest Bristol City Gaffe was Gordon Owen missing a penalty.

it was in the first season of the play-offs at their place, on the last day of the season & the Shitheads needed to win to make the play-offs (we were already in).

At 1-1, Joe Jordan threw himself to the ground (no surprise there then) in our box & won a penalty.
Owen grabbed the ball of some other twat, took the penalty & missed.
City missed out on the play-offs, and we got promoted.

Great Day, and the natives were far from happy at the end & tried to force their way into our terrace. Oh how I miss the good old days of football

I like the way you refuse to afford capital letters in your list to the filthy franchise.  Nice touch.

Would it crush you to know that its the autocorrect doing it

The only time I left a game early. As soon as they missed the pen, I knew what was going to happen at the final whistle.

Of course, a few weeks later Owen completed a 'double' by missing in a penalty shootout as Shitty lost in the FRT.

I went to that one, it was West Brom... Night game, 3-2 loss.

There was the one where Bart Griemink let a really tame shot through his legs, against Colchester I think?

I remember that game very well. All hell broke loose afterwards, especially in the park over the road from the away end.  A mate of mine, who was a copper on duty that day, said that for 20 mins or so the police totally lost control. It certainly seemed that way!

They tried to get on to the terrace but failed miserably after Town fans were climbing up the fence to get at them. Afterwards, however, it was fucking evil. We had a really good mob there but it was like a children's tea party compared to what the fuck was waiting for us.

Nicky Hammond vs Ipswich away (cup match) when we were in the Prem and JAF scored his first for us.
