Favourite City game.....they didn’t win !

[Abattoir Blue]

Losing 2-5 to Leeds at Maine Road in the FA Cup, 99/00.

Took the lead twice but eventually comfortably beaten by what was then a good team.

Great noise after the Bish goal.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Enjoyed this one at the time. We battered the bastards, went 1-0 up, and then they got 2 undeserved goals out of nowhere, to leave us staring at a travesty.......until Quinny shut them up in stoppage time

 

[Bozo]

The 1-1 away draws with Everton and Villa in 2006 come to mind, both with Micah scoring injury time winners in that garish yellow third kit. Everton game was the day Barton got his arse out?

Was around xmas 84 or 85 on leave, Sheffield Wednesday away, lost 3-2, went with another lad on leave, are you out there Jammo, lol.

 

[Abattoir Blue]

Slightly off topic, but if you want a fantastic result that wasnt a victory - check out Somerset v Lancs today...

Coppells first game at qpr away. Great atmosphere and came from two goals down I think to draw 2 - 2.

City fans everywhere celebrating in such a tight ground.

Boxing Day 87 I think. Away vs Stoke. Lost 3-1. 13,000 blues there including Batman & Robin who got chased around the pitch by the dibble at half time with the crowd doing the dinner dinner dinner Batman tune

I thought this one would come up - regardless of who was involved etc, an all-round brilliant game.

Sat in the Kippax as a one off that day - side top of the premier league plays the team top of Division 1 (Championship to you youngsters.

Held our own for large parts and with the genius in Bishops boots (as the commentary of the goal went from Andy Gray 'he does have two lovely feet').

In the end Leeds ran out clear and deserved winners and they were fantastic to watch.

Obviously disappointed not to win, but I can remember coming away from the game thinking that was as good a game as I could remember where both teams were excellent.......

You’re right it was a cracking game.
If I remember correctly the atmosphere amongst the City fans got a bit tasty at the half with some fans trying to get into the dressing room to vent their displeasure. Seemed to work as we were much improved second half with 2 goals from Simpson.
Could have got the win with a bit of luck.
Terrific atmosphere from a very big blue following.
Fences prevented a pitch invasion at half time.

I was there and always wonder if both clubs agreed we'd get a couple and they'd win to minimise any further bother. Thought it was going to really go off at HT.
