Gillingham v Manchester City 1999

[BlueMooney]

I did make a personal promise not to bump this thread again, but since it's been bumped recently - I'm posting books First Class to the UK ahead of Xmas if you want a last-minute present for a City fan!

If you have a great story from Gillingham '99 or any other game where you and your mates had a great time at a City match, let us know at Prostate Cancer UK and your story could make the City programme on the 21st February 2015 for the visit of Newcastle United.

I've just heard from the publisher that there's only about 50 copies left. If there's demand, it may go to a reprint, but that's still uncertain.

Still £10 from <a class="postlink" href="http://davemooney.co.uk/books/looks-like-scunny-next-season" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://davemooney.co.uk/books/looks-lik ... ext-season</a> too. :-)

Still got a few copies of the book left with the publisher and we're deciding whether to go to a reprint.

£10 from www.davemooney.co.uk/books/looks-like-scunny-next-season or a bit cheaper on Kindle:

I am being pedantic - I know - but I make it 16 years since 1999. I suppose someone in the previous 30 pages has picked up on this.

My apologies - I now see this thread started in 2014 - so it was 15 years - DOH!!

Was in the away end with a mate, got the hump at 2 - 0 and decided too leave kicked a coke bottle at the top of the stairs - hit a copper straight in the bollocks! Tried to get back in the city end after our first goal, old bill held us back. Watched the penalties in a boozer some where off Baker Street absolutely packed with city.
After the game got merrily pissed in the strip clubs in shoreditch - what a day

The only thing I remember about the Mac away game really was it pissed it down all the way up to the ground ,1 shitty bog and the goat scoring if I remember right,funny tho i thought of that game when I was walking in the nou camp,strange but living the dream now.

I can see why, the Nou Camp's a fucking shit-hole.

Me & my mate were about the only ones who stayed on our whole row when Taylor made it 2-0. We didn't see the 5 mins go up so when Horlock scored it was viewed by us as typical fucking City, a meaningless consolation at the death. I was surprised when time ticked on, especially when Weaver faffed around near our corner flag - I was just expecting the ref to blow. We were right behind Dickov's goal and then we went fucking mental.

The glory hunting cunts came rushing back in extra time and the row filled up again. Sadly for them they had missed one of our most iconic goals ever. And that folks is why you should never leave a football match until the final whistle.
