It was 3-3. Cov were winning 3-1 with 10 or 15 to go. Rod Wallace got a hatrick for Leeds.
Yes I remember that game, I was pretty young at the time but I think that was the last day of the Swan Lane End terrace. The mistake that lead to their equalizer was a Roy Wegerle back pass from the half way line.
being 1-0 up at Cyrstal Palace in the 90min then losing 2-1 was shocking at the start of last season. i remember feeling sick for days after, the coach home was misirable too.
Busst's leg.
Leeds at home 1996 was worse than pompey 50 or so of ther so called hard boys came on the pitch at the end of the game and started attacking the ball boys and the young coventry autograph hunters that used to regualry come on at the end of the game until 100 or so Cov went on the pitch and confronted them in the penalty box and gave them a good hiding thatb was pictured all around the world on Sky tele . That day the mighty leeds were timid and the normal loud mouths were put in there place there coaches were also attacked on swan lane and they did nothing and wimpered back up the M1 all 3,000 of them
At the Crisp Bowl last season when about half a dozen stewards chased a bloke half way up the stand, cornered him, then beat the living daylights out of him just a few rows down in front of us. We weren't allowed to leave afterwards and were penned in by police outside the ground who did nothing to stop their fans chucking things at us from outside.
Reminds me actually-Clingan's penalty in that game was one of the most pathetic I've ever seen. His miss against Swansea on my birthday in 2009 was even worse.
I remember that too!! I meant between Pompey and Cov. There's no real history of trouble or politics between them!!
Talking about penalties... Elliott Wards attempt at a Ronaldo!! Scored about 10 on the bounce by smashing it into the net then practically passes it to the Keeper. Can't remember who it was against!
I remember that day well. I still don't know what sparked it. There's never been any real trouble before or since. Strange!!
The story behind the Pompey trouble went along these lines...
A (fair?) few years before, one of the 657 Pompey Crew (the time of first train to Southampton) got badly beaten up in Blackpool (of all places) by some Cov fans. Pompey's firm waited until they played us again (big gap between 1988 and 2002) and brought as many nutters as they could to HR.
Think they smashed up the Wetherspoons in the centre and bus on way to ground too.

False. It was Whitley Bay.
The year isn't right either. I am fairly sure the incident took place in the 90s.
The Portsmouth 657 book denies that anything that may have happened had anything to do with their day out in Cov in 2001.
Our pre-season tour of Ibiza was quite interesting as well.
Gazza breaking his arm trying to elbow Lloyd McGrath.
Leeds fans de-seating the Skyblue Stand and throwing them at the police, us and on the pitch...
'The Portsmouth 657'-how cringeworthy does this stuff get.

Think it was Southampton (in the far off days when we were in the same division as them!)

apparently a previous off the field incident had led to a pompey lad being left with permanent brain damage...apparently...

For us oldies out there, the match were George Curtis broke his leg. I swear the crack was heard all round Highfield Road.
The day we appointed Monkey Heeeed as Manager (not at game but truly shocking never the less)
