You’d have enjoyed the Norwich game I mentioned. Typical city game. Penalties 3 or 4 Disallowed goals. Last minute penalty save by Jim Blyth.Also Man City, the 4-3 win at home in 2001. Still probably the most entertaining CCFC match I have seen live.

That kind of coercive controlling behaviour is now known as domestic abuse!I took my girlfriend - now wife - to that. It was brilliant. She loved it and asked if it was always this exciting. I said, "absolutely".
Was she asking about you or the game?I took my girlfriend - now wife - to that. It was brilliant. She loved it and asked if it was always this exciting. I said, "absolutely".
Was sat behind shay given when Dublin done a number on him
…most vividly remembered match, home or away, in your time supporting the Mighty Sky Blues?
It’s probably been done here a few
times, but be buggered am I trawling through that back log of threads.
Include a link to highlights if possible! ⚽️
This game was not on Boxing Day,it was the day after,On Boxing Day we drew 1-1 at Villa Park.Graham Oakey was injured he never played again.5-4 Norwich, Boxing day 77 Not so memorable date? The game had everything.
2-2 Va Bristol City. Vs Sunderland (If you feel aggrieved).
3-2 West Ham. 1980 League Cup SF. First leg. Garry Thompson. West End. OMG.
I enjoyed the west ham game a few years ago. Extra Time?
wallace bicycle kick.
The Sky Blues came out on top in this thrilling festive fixture at Highfield Road, adding to Gordon Milne’s side’s growing reputation for attacking football, months after the famous last day escape from relegation against Bristol City.
Coventry City had gone 5 games without a win, and with Jim Holton and Mick Coop injured they had to play Terry Yorath and John Beck in defence, while Ray Gooding made his first start of the season. Barry Powell scored the opener from the spot (City’s 500th First Division goal), then Ian Wallace’s acrobatic bicycle kick doubled the lead. Norwich fought back with three goals before half-time to take the lead into the break.
In the second-half, Gooding lashed the ball in for his first Sky Blues goal on 56 minutes, then Bobby McDonald’s curling shot found the net to make it 4-3 to the home side. The Sky Blues had two goals disallowed before Martin Peters levelled for Norwich. With 9 minutes left, Ray Graydon headed home to make it 5-4.
There was more drama to come however, when Norwich were awarded a penalty with just 90 seconds to play. John Ryan stepped up, but Sky Blues keeper Jim Blyth made the match winning save in a sensational match.
the chronology of goals scored is not right. But going in HT 3-2 down is correct. I’m Sure we scored first.
John Ryan 45. / penalty Kevin Reeves 45. Martin Peters 45. Barry Powell 45. / penalty Ian Wallace 45. Kevin Reeves 90. Ray Gooding 90. Bobby McDonald 90. Ray Graydon 90.

Went to that I’m sure we made it 1-0 in the 89th minute to hopefully win what would have been the first time at Villa Park only for them to go straight down the other end and equalise.This game was not on Boxing Day,it was the day after,On Boxing Day we drew 1-1 at Villa Park.Graham Oakey was injured he never played again.

Graham Oakley what a great little full back he was such a shame about his injuryThis game was not on Boxing Day,it was the day after,On Boxing Day we drew 1-1 at Villa Park.Graham Oakey was injured he never played again.
That gets my vote. They weren’t tears the sun was in my eyesHas to be Wolves at home 1967, apart from a great game victory it almost guaranteed promotion to the first division, the pinnacle of an incredible five journey under JH.
Wasn't that Blues game 4-4? Think the next match was a 3-2 win against Southampton which was also an exciting game.Our first ever Sunday game vs Blues at HR. What a game that was.
Remember playing Chelsea at HR stood on the Kop, pissing down with rain. Stands out as it was the day the Grand National was called off. Was it the IRA? Can't remember.
May 1977 v Liverpool, just before the Bristol City 2-2.Out of interest can anyone remember an exciting 0-0 game?
Please don’t admit to having two favorite teamsMay 1977 v Liverpool, just before the Bristol City 2-2.
I think it was an exciting encounter.
Or maybe I was just giddy on seeing my two favourite teams play each other for the first time.
I remember a terrible one against Fulham in the League Cup that included extra time. We went through on away goals.Out of interest can anyone remember an exciting 0-0 game?
I DID have two favourite teams - I'll make no bones about it. In fact I mentioned it recently on another thread, can't recall which one.Please don’t admit to having two favorite teams
