Come Clean: Were You the One Leaving Early?

I still laugh, and funnily enough recounted it last night whilst watching Michael Keane hit that screamer, of how many times I screamed “Noooooo” just before Vinny smacked it, lol.

I can't believe he didn't have one last longing look back. However, it was still quite early(wasn't it about the 75th minute) so could have needed a piss. Whatever his reasons, he missed out on one of the greatest ever Etihad moments.

It was actually in the 70th minute. Probably one of those great moments that history will play tricks with and in another 30 years time, people will think happened in stoppage time.
10 minutes later and there would probably be a lot more empty seats on view!

I knew it wasn't chucking out time :) He might of needed a shite, after all, it was getting a bit squeaky bum time. I know I went absolutely ******* mental and the best part was, I was with My daughter who didn't usually come to night games but it was the school holidays :) Amazing memories.
 
When that ball went in the net there was a very brief moment before the crowd realised that it had actually gone in and the place erupted. You dont witness this on a tv replay you had to be there and even then that brief moment may have passed you by. That goal and the header Kompany scored in the 1 nil derby win are amoungst the best in this era.

Had Vinny backed @50/1 for first goal with that header :)

Could well be the case. There’s a guy in my row in 315 who must go to the toilet 6 times a game. I know this because I sit in the aisle seat and he always goes past me.

Maguire would still be looking forward blankly if the crowd hadn’t erupted.
 
It was on mid week MOTD 4 years ago, and may not have even been a fan who tend to look around when you hear build-up noise. There are 4 fans going up the steps, not all are "his".

A lot who are putting the boot in won't have seen it live either, just on TV.

I was sat near the corner flag to Vinnie's right and in my memory as soon as the ball leaves his foot everything goes in slow motion. Absolute pandemonium when the ball hit the back if the net.
It's the same when Yaya scored that belter at Wembley against Sunderland, we were sat in the third tier and the ball goes in slow motion til it hits the back of the net.
Vinnie's goal is probably the last great iconic title winning goal we'll ever see now that VAR has destroyed the emotion of celebrating goal scoring in the moment.

You could also hear (or not hear) that briefest of shocked pauses when Dickov scored.
