Remember it well. Probably the funniest thing I’ve seen at any game.I think it was Huddersfield away I think in the FA Cup in the late 80s. A very typical City performance, battering them but couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo. And the ref didn't help!!! It got so bad that a City fan, his leg in plaster up to his hip, threw one of his crutches at the ref, narrowly missing him. It all ends with four burly coppers trying to carry this bloke off down the touchline plaster cast and all!!
Late eighties or early nineties Boro midweek away (cup?)game. Unbelievably foggy, you couldn't see the halfway line. One lad had his portable radio out and was giving us updates. Probably would have been called off these days.
Cheers for finding that. Honestly it was proper foggy, it doesn't look too bad on the video.

Derby away, think it was when we lost 6-0 so we occupied ourselves away from the game.
This fat Derby fan in the stand next to us is eating a pie and everytime he went to take a bite, we all did that wwwwoooooooooooooo chant like when the opposition keeper is taking a goal kick, and then roared when he took a bite.
After a couple of bites his mates cottoned on to what we were doing and told him.
He then teased us by going to take a bite as we picked up on the wwwwwoooooooooo and then pulled the pie away at the last second to laughs / boo's all round
.
When he'd finally finished it off, he was given a rendition of "you fat bastard" and he stood up and took a bow

Sir Joseph of Barton getting sent off for showing his arse to Spurs players or fans who were goading him as he made his way off the pitch at half time 3 - 0 down in the infamous comeback win cup game.

I was just reading the thread to see if this had been posted. Seemed to last forever and unlike todays wingers, the invader hogged the touchline and was screaming for the ball. Was it not against Feyenoord and we lost 4-2?
Yeah it was Feyenoord, it put Terry Phelan to shame that overlap.

I remember the ball smacking the referee at Maine Road, and his false teeth flying out. Must have been mid to late 80s? No idea on who we were playing.
