Worst ever Defeat for City

[blue b4 the moon]

Highest defeats I've been at were the 0-6 at Derby and the 1-8 at freezing Middlesbro'.

As for the worst defeat probably the cup match at Gay Meadow when Malc was in charge, it was a sign of us starting to turn to rat shit and the luton game with that fucker Pleat prancing around.

For me to result that hurt the most was United 4-3 at OT (That Owen Goal) - I was devastated after that game (But the 6-1 more than made up for it!!)

As for our worst defeat, I'd probably say the Middlesborough 8-1 game was up there. It didn't help the fact it was boiling all over the country that day other than in Middlesborough where it was fucking freezing!!!!!!!

Obviously you can name a fair few of the late 90's results but that 8-1 took the piss.

3 stand out for me:

The rags beating us 2-3 at maine rd after we were 2-0 up at half time. Arghh!

Forrest 0-3 at home in the FA cup. I have never seen us play so poorly as that game. Woeful!

M'boro 1-0 away when we had battered them only to concede a freak breakaway goal! Unbelivable!

Yeah I'm a Stockport boy too. As a teenager in the 90s, when City were away I used to watch County with my mates - the Kevin Francis, Jim Gannon, Neil Edward team under Danny Bergara. I obviously had a soft spot for them, so not great to be ridiculed by their fans for two years when I was at college!

A lot of blues my age laugh at County's misfortunes now because of the grief we got in the late 90s from their fans. I don't though, it was their moment in the sun and I can't blame them for enjoying it to the max. Glad it was only brief though!

I'm the same, had a soft spot for County in the early 90s and went to a few games, but then it all changed when they started playing us. For some reason they fucking hate us, even on Facebook some of them gloat more than the rags when we lose. They shot themselves in the foot, as I honestly think with the extra support of a few blues every so often they wouldn't have ended up where they are, I bet no City fan would ever go and watch them now. I must admit though I've gone a little bit soft on them again in recent years, I'd never go and watch them now but I do hope they make it back in to the league, we're never gonna play them in a league match ever again anyway so doesn't really matter where they are.

Never really got over the 1981 Cup final loss to the spuds, poor Tommy Hutch scoring both goals in the 1-1 draw in the first game, then getting beat 3-2 in the replay ;-(

Fulham 3-0 City second game in the second division. We'd hammered Blackpool in the first game in front of a sellout at Maine Rd and I thought we'd walk the league with a record points total. Instead we were shambolic, got battered and the realisation had already kicked in that we were in for a long hard season. It was on a Friday night live on SKY too. Our humiliation was unfolding in front of the nation.

I've been a few times in recent years. It's pretty painful though to be honest. Most tickets I've had have been freebies...though I reckon they should have paid me on the way out a couple of times.

I still live in Stockport so I want the town to have a well run league club. Plus I know someone who works for the club so I do root for them. But you're right, the bile that came out of that period soured many blues relationship with County....and that cost them some money from gate receipts/beer etc. They could do with it now.

Same here. I like to think that day was a lesson in being a City fan for the next 30 years and also a lesson for life. Whenever you get your hopes up that things are going well, you know a kick in the bollocks is just around the corner.

 

[Citizen Green]

When the shite beat us 0-1 at ours in 2010, the ginger whinger bagged a header in the last minute after Bellers has squandered position in our own half. That one hurt. It could have stopped those twats bagging the title that year, and given us a point towards Europe.

If it makes you feel any better Chelsea won the league that year anyway...

Mine, loosing to Fulham after being 2 up as Bill mentioned, I felt at the time it had sealed Svens fate...

After that the 8-1 at Boro a few weeks wasn't much better

19 year old Steve Mckenzie's goal was ignored!

Dirty Leeds away FA Cup 6th round 1967 Jack Charlton climbing all over Harry Dowd fouling him and heading in. Ref right there and he fucking gave it. I was devastated

 

[bluemc1]

It never happened thank god but at 0-3 down at half time and down to 10 men v United in FA cup I was shitting myself the 1-6 was about to be thrown straight back at us

 

[urmston]

6-0 away to Derby, or 5-0 away to United for me.

I saw both of those.

In those days I was just happy that City were in the top flight after the disastrous 1980s, so while I wasn't pleased about such defeats I was not completely fed up.

 

[cookster]

Always the last one ;)

My worst ever City defeat was v West Brom, 30th December 1967.

City lost 2-0 at home, and it was the first time I'd seen City lose.

I was eight. In the few first team matches I'd seen until then City had always won or drawn. I was quite upset.

None of City's fiascos in the decades that followed bothered me as much.

I was at that game and also at the Hawthornes boxing day just 4 days before,we got beat 3-2 they we're the only team to get the double over us that season but we still went on and won the title,they had a good side and won the fa cup.

I've still got the programme from that game. On page 7 entitled 'Mid-Season Comments' City's management and players gave their predictions on the top three positions in the league at the end of the season. Mercer, Alison, Hart and all the players correctly predicted that City would win the league.

 

[Big Swifty]

My great-great-grandfather tells me about City losing 8-2 at HOME to Bradford Park Avenue in the FA Cup in 1946. Frank Swift and all.....
