Match Thread Bristol City (H) - 6th November 3PM (2 Viewers)

[Frostie]

I’m still absolutely buzzing, won’t wear off for a couple of days I don’t think. Mentally or physically seeing as I cut the back of my calf on the seats celebrating the winner and can’t walk properly

Guy next to me managed to lose his glasses, they ended up 3 rows in front!

Speaking of which, a couple about 4 or 5 rows forward got up & left when the 4th official put the board up for stoppage time... Wonder how they're feeling now?

Games like this are sometimes pivotal in a season, these lads actually need to believe they are as good as any in the League now after this display. Worth 6 points as a confidence booster I reckon.

I can't imagine ever leaving a match before the end. I have even stayed when we have been losing like 5-0. But leaving when the scores are level, especially given our record of scoring late this season seems an extra degree of craziness.

Left early at Watford away once , 2 nil down 5 to go.

Aidy Boothroyd season? One of my favourite games - Keogh going down like he’d been shot, phenomenal scenes

Remember that, Michael quirke came on in goal. Think it was his only appearance.

 

[Liquid Gold]

The only game I ever left early was against Gillingham in division 1 at HR. 1-0 I think and heard us score as I left the west terrace.

Just can't bring myself to do it again. Even if you're getting battered you have to stay.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

John Eustace scored a stunning goal if it’s the game I’m thinking about

It was. Platt came on and made the difference that day.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I left after 20 mins I think in the championship relegation season. Bristol City we’re 2-0 up and we were woeful. Think Adebola scored for them - Drank my sorrows away in the casino. Think we lost 3-1 in the end

anyone remember the classic from Linnell? "Dan, Dan, we won" Dan - "what? no no no we lost" fecking laughing now thinking of it

Crewe in the JPT weren’t it? I remember raging at McSheffrey and his shit free kick, should have let Murphy lump it in the box - I’m convinced to this day we’d have scored. Crewe were all over the place

 

[CovBrummie94]

The only time I've ever left early was Crystal Palace at home in 2005. We were 3-1 down and Palace scored a 4th as we were crossing the Rowleys Green roundabout. Good times.

 

[Happy_Martian]

Gyo sprinting across behind the goal to join in the celebrations after the 3rd goal ! Brilliant !!

Just get a glimpse of him flashing past the camera after the third.

BUT.... his footwork to get the ball back from the keeper after the first (21 secs in). C'est magnifique ! With skills like that and if COH is the Solihull Messi, Vik has to be the Scandanavian Mbappe

Unbelievable tie overall. If we'd won that 6-0 on aggregate it wouldn't have been an unfair reflection on the two legs.

and it was dark, freezing cold n lashing down with rain if i recall right.... i hate football sometimes

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Only game left early was against Tranmere away. 4-1 down and down to 10 men. End up 5-1.

Carsley set us up wrongly - we didn’t attack until the 80th minute, we just needed 5 more minutes and wed have won that tie

the first leg was a crime against football

Pearson likely to leave due to ill health.

Just reading the Bristol forum. There's a lot of discussion about Moore's tackle on O'Dowd with video from behind. I was sure it was a pen at the time. Not so sure looking at replays. there was actually minimal contact and a perfectly timed dive.
One poster said he should have got a red. The next said it's good he didn't as it was embarrasing enough to lose to TEN men

At the time I thought it was a stonewall penalty but seeing it again he just gets enough on the ball.
Wouldn't be a red card either way anyway - double jeopardy & all that.
Thought the officials were pretty good overall actually, big improvement on recent weeks.

OMFG, that was me! You sit next to me? Yeah my glasses went flying i actually forgot i had them on almost got to the concourse and realised my glasses were missing. Went back up to seats and found them few rows in front of me.

But that usually happens!

The only game we left early was was Oxford United away a few years ago. Relegation season about 3 nil down and it was Toxic. Missed our goal at end.

I had a dream about that match the night before, ended up 4-1! Told my dad before the game. Johnson scored their 4th on the day. My dad looked at me like I was a witch!

Block 19, end of the row with your lad?

Looking at it in single frame time, O'Dowda is pushing Rose over as Moore goes down to get the ball, so should have been a foul on Rose, Moore gets the ball and catches O'Dowda on the slide, so a pen would have been a harsh decision.

 

[Frostie]

Yes thats us!

Ha, amazing. Better make sure I like all your posts on here then!

I think you have got enough love, kisses and hugs from me im sure as have most around me when we score.

Does the Double Jeopardy rule only work for goalkeepers ? Maatsen redded and Brizzle get pen 30 mins later.....

"the offending player is cautioned if the offence was an attempt to play the ball; in all other circumstances (e.g. holding, pulling, pushing, no possibility to play the ball etc.) the offending player must be sent off."
