What is the daftest thing you've seen at a City match?

[kippaxwarrior]

Alan Ball telling the players to keep the ball in the corner flag in the 2-2 Liverpool game in 96

 

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

Keeping the ball in the corner when we needed a goal to stay up

Andy Dibble having the ball headed out of his hands at Forest

Female streaker at maine road (who kept her underwear on !!) tripping over and breaking her ankle

Yeah the Dibble one was mental could only happen to us

 

[simmo]

It was crazy wasn’t it

I know the games changed - but there is no way they would do that now. Literally stood watching blanket fog with a whistle sound now and again.

It was a jinx Ayresome Park - lost in league cup , fa cup and another time Lake got injured after his long time out.

On the theme of Boro, Teeside Constabulary baton charging us in full riot gear when we “over-celebrated” Elano scoring in the 8-1, triggered an actual riot. And we still won the fair play league…..

 

[simmo]

The modern day smoke machines and no natural wind to blow it away before the game starts. Few games at level 3 it has been a haze for about 10 minutes post kick off.

Corrigan stuck in the mud v West ham when the ball went in the net

 

[kashmir]

I’m pretty sure he once actually brought a proper chicken. We used to sit hear him

Called Neil I think he used to work as head chef at the midland,was even one of the questions in trivial persuit,lived in the Whaley bridge area

Sitting in East level 1, and suddenly hearing chanting over the tannoys.

At the bequest of a great coach. Stuart Pearce.....

 

[imrebanana]

Phil Brown's half time team talk on the pitch.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Rag fans.

Christian Negouai

Barry Conlon

Losing 1-0 to Middlesbrough when they didnt even have a shot at goal

I could go on....

• Negouai coming on as a sub at Goodison and getting sent off a few minutes later.
• Edin Dzeko's 'dying swan' routine at the same ground in 2014 when he lay on the ground but the ref wouldn't let the medical staff on.
• Someone chaining themselves to the goalpost, again at Goodison
• Everton fans pleading with us to beat them at another late season game at Goodison to stop Liverpool winning the league.
• The fox on the South Stand roof at the Etihad.
• The Derby County penalty spot in the mudbath of the old Baseball Ground
• A blissfully unaware Joe Corrigan walking back towards his goal and getting lobbed by Ronnie Boyce.
• Dennis Tueart nutting a Hartlepool player in an FA Cup game. The player (name was Potter) went off on a stretcher & Hartlepool wanted to bring a sub on but the referee had to point out to them that Potter had also been sent off.
• The normally unflappable Willie Donachie completely losing it with Boniek when we lost to Widzew Lodz and trying to kick him into the Kippax.
• The 11:30 ko vs Everton & Danny Mills' screamer in that game.
• Jackie's tits.

Yea I was in the south stand that night. Sticks in my mind as it was against Bolton, and being a City fan from Bolton I had a few mates in the away end. Can even remember them chanting turn your tannoy on. Them 2 and a bit years under Pearce really were shit!

 

[bladdered]

There was this bloke who used to stand near us on the Kippax in the early 80s who we called 'Mr Angry'.

Would always turn up with a half bottle of whisky and he would get increasingly riled during the inevitable shite performance.

Right on queue, just before half time he would finish the bottle and chuck it towards the pitch. Next minute he would be dragged out screaming by the plod.

Fair dues though, he was always back for the next game. I guess it was hard to enforce banning orders in them days!

 

[Platt Lane veteran]

A freezing cold COM stadium. The crowd, bored senseless, decided to have some fun. The poor object of our humour?…….Alan. Oh how we milked his absolute bewilderment.

 

[SPIDERBOY]

City v Leicester.....disallowed Leicester penalty.
Not sure i've ever seen that before.

 

[KS55]

Joe Corrigan measuring out where the missing penalty spot should be after the ref had got it wrong by two yards. He was booked for his pains.
