The winner (18 Viewers)

[Terry_dactyl]

What's incredible is that when most of us grew up watching this club, moments like yesterday happened once every 4 or 5 years. Now they happen 4 or 5 times a season.

In my lifetime (I'm 40 this year) there has never been a better time to support the club. It doesn't matter what division you're in, wins breed positivity and grow the fanbase.

I think we're more or less guaranteed a top half finish this year, so I can say this with confidence. In the last 10 seasons, we've finished in the top half 8 times. That is the sort of consistency that grows the fanbase and changes its belief in football.
That is why the place is now overrun with kids, and kids that genuinely want to be there.

How it used to be was that if you saw anyone under the age of 15 in the ground, they looked bored stiff and were only there because they were too young to be left at home alone

I remember chatting to a bloke after the 2-1 Forest win, when Fadz scored at the death, in the casino immediately after. He was excitedly saying in relation to us grabbing a goal in the 90th+ minute, “we just don’t do this. It never happens for us”.

It was something that always happened to other clubs.

The great thing is we put it down to Robins. Whilst he must get credit for installing that into the club, its clear that its now there even without him

Gary Weaver is a way better commentator than anyone Sky have on premier league coverage

Hes my favourite commentator tbh, and I'm sure a lot on here will agree

Also, unpopular opinion but I like Lee Hendries punditry

Lee Hendrie is like the football equivalent of Michael Portillo

Doing the job that made him famous I didn't like him. As a TV personality he is very likable

Has anyone got Clive's commentary?

Would love to hear him fall off his chair. If we can throw some titanic music in, even better.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Christ it actually looks fairly intimidating for away fans in that.

I didn't realise how close in that corner the fans were

 

[Skybluecol]

What a finish by Bobby like Saddlebrains I’ve watched it back so many times. I’m gutted because there’s a fantastic video on X which shows the whole of the East Stand and Singers Corner go absolutely mental, limbs everywhere. It’s from near enough pitch side, I can’t find it now. Enjoy your Sunday everyone! PUSB

Can someone post that 'Chills...literal chills' video from Tiktok on here? I've not seen it yet...

 

[zuni]

I had some mad out of body experience as it went in, it felt like my brain shut down and body was jumping around like a demented trout

Titanic music isnt good enough for Clives poetry

Excellent.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...injury time goals from Viktor Gyokeres, Hadji Wright and Bobby Thomas.

Fabio Tavares scoring in the 98th minute against Preston North End.

All these moments would have been lost, if I'd left early so i could get out of the car park first, like tears in rain.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Stewards this season have been pretty hot on it in 16/15, during the game. But they all flood pitch side near the end leaving it for a free for all. Mine is an aisle seat and my foot was being danced on it seemed. My nail has gone black

Black nails matter

 

[fatso]

Anyone else watched it a hundred times already?

It was football poetry, the sound of the ball hitting the back of the net, the eruption of noise, the absolute carnage in the stands, the scenes on the touchline, the sea of sky blue, against the backdrop of Robins return

For me it's absolute football heritage

Especially after hearing Stoke fans singing "two nill and you fucked it up" just minutes before!


Justice was restored after the penalty decision, and their second goal being well offside.

I had hoped the police might keep the Stoke fans in for 10 minutes, just to allow us to take the piss a bit longer!

Saddest thing in that clip is the grown men not celebrating with each or other city fans as they are too busy giving V’s to the Stoke fans.

I mean I know it happens and it doesn’t really bother me but my first thought when we score isn’t to goad the opposition fans…even on occasions I’ve sat near them.
For clarification, I believe I am a ‘grown man’.

It wouldn’t have just been for the goal either. People will go to games and concentrate on opponent fans for most if not the duration. It’s so, so sad and I actually pity them.

Yeah, see it at away games constantly. Weird.

 

[hill83]

The “2-0 and you fucked it up” and the “it’s all gone quiet over there” absolutely set the limbs up perfectly for me. Aching all over today.

What do you expect? Stoke fans had been giving it the big one since pulling it back to all square!

They'd just been singing "two nill and you fucked it up"

City fans were just politely pointing out that we hadn't actually "fucked it up" at all! And wishing them a safe journey home.

I'm adding that to my long list of heritage, long may it continue. You beauty.

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

Proper hugging in Block 21, like you get at an away game. They're such a subdued bunch around me so you know it was a very special moment. Definitely going into the pantheon of my favourite ever moments as a supporter, Bobby Thomas is very quickly becoming a fan favourite and I love to see it.

And you can add the Victor Torp goal in the semi-final at Wembley, as far as I'm concerned we won that game.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

I was in B22 and all I saw was Asente lying on the floor so I thought the ref must of disallowed it. It took me ages to realise it was actually a goal.

I didn't include that as surely none of our fans had left the ground by then?

It isn’t my first thought but when you’ve heard then droning on and then the crushing silence it’s a bit hard not to do a bit of ear cupping and the finger to be fair

Or, celebrate how you want?

I'll go to the grave telling anyone who will listen we won that game

Left early as had other plans. Was just outside the ground when I heard the cheers. Gutted to have missed it but been trapped in car park C so many times. Yes I know, my own fault.

Yeah, couldn't agree more. It's mad. If you are going to give any v signs and wanker gestures, why not at least do it after celebrating?

Those giving the abuse there are missing the joy on the players faces as they celebrate and also the reaction of all their fellow Sky Blue supporters around them, as they celebrate too

I really don't get it.

I remember going to see us away at West Ham one time and so many West Ham fans were just facing us on sideways the entire game and never once were looking towards to pitch. It was so odd.

I always find this incredibly strange. The weirdest one for me was when Wilson scored that absolutely vital goal at Blackburn, runs over to celebrate with our fans who run straight past him to have a go at the Blackburn fans.

I was at that game as well Otis, creepy wasn't it.
