Their late winner at our place, perhapsBlackburn Rovers away in the Prem
Then again we’d probably still have Rapey as owner.
It still boils my blood.Maradona handball. Sick of it.
Was definitely a gut punch after the elation of the double-penalty moment, I don't think i've ever seen that happen before or since.Jermaine Defoe's late equaliser at White Hart Lane in the PL
Pretty sure we'd have stayed up comfortably (agree with Chunky about the Stains though)
Ahh, brutalThe late late equaliser at Tottenham in the Premier league.
We were on holiday and thought we had won until about 8.00 pm Saturday night.
We were devastated.
Me too, but only because I have to watch Steve Hodge slice it backwards like a dick and then Shilton lumbering out for no reason before failing to out jump someone 5 foot 5.It still boils my blood.
Yes, another downer. I recall Montgomery make a tremendous save which denied us.The late winner at Sunderland, a draw would have promoted us to what was then League 1 not the EPL.
Absolutely agree fy8. Never disliked Maradona for the cheek but can't stand watching how he leaps whereby Shilton's got Frankenstein boots on. Was wearing them again 4 years later when the semi final free kick drops over his head.Me too, but only because I have to watch Steve Hodge slice it backwards like a dick and then Shilton lumbering out for no reason before failing to out jump someone 5 foot 5.
Can't really blame Maradona for taking a chance, the defence was static and clueless for both of their goals and Robson bought Waddle and Barnes on too late.
Similar occurance whereby I'd already started to discuss Wembley plans before ringing my brother from Majorca just after the Bradford 2nd leg.The late late equaliser at Tottenham in the Premier league.

Likewise old "Lead Wellies" David Seaman getting ridiculously lobbed by Ronaldinho in the 2002 World Cup.Absolutely agree fy8.

No, not a fan.
Yep, sickener. We actually looked reasonably comfortable against a great Brazilian side. Just rewatched the free kick. Seaman was so far off his lineLikewise old "Lead Wellies" David Seaman getting ridiculously lobbed by Ronaldinho in the 2002 World Cup.
I do blame Maradona he can drop dead for me. Oh wait a minute……….Me too, but only because I have to watch Steve Hodge slice it backwards like a dick and then Shilton lumbering out for no reason before failing to out jump someone 5 foot 5.

No just more nematodesWas definitely a gut punch after the elation of the double-penalty moment, I don't think i've ever seen that happen before or since.
Anyway, yeah - i'd strategically eliminate a goal that would have kept us up that season. The 2nd season would have been a mighty struggle and might have delayed the Oyston's leaving but just to say we've had 2 seasons in the PL would be worth it, we might even have got some new sprinklers or a nicer scoreboard out of it.
Or the Paul Holland, equally wonder goal, a few days prior at CheaterfieldTake away Joey Beauchamp's goal for Oxford in 1996 and have a 0-0 draw leaves us finishing 2nd and saves the heartache of losing to Bradford in the play offs.
I think even by then things were starting to unravel and that events would have taken their natural course. I would have loved another season in the PremVaz Te’s late winner for West Ham in the 2012 playoff final, then again, as previously mentioned if we had of returned straight back to the Prem we would have been stuck with the Oystons until god know a when!
And Gilks (just back from injury) went down in installments.Defoe's goal at Spurs away.
The drama of it all was unbelievable. Penalty, Adam misses, goes out for a corner, keeper in an adrenaline rush gives away another pen, DJ and Adam arguing over who takes the pen, Adam retakes, scores, runs over to the away fans giving it large on the badge. If that would have ended in a win that would have ultimately been pivotal in keeping us, would be an amazing moment to look back on (still is to be fair).
Lo and behold Defoe gets the equaliser in the last minute, can't believe we gave him so much space.
EDIT:
@Dave62 just seen your comment. Great minds and all that..
I'd have loved to see Ollie's second squad in the Prem. I think they'd have done better than his first squad did.Vaz Te’s late winner for West Ham in the 2012 playoff final, then again, as previously mentioned if we had of returned straight back to the Prem we would have been stuck with the Oystons until god know a when!
Was it not Steve Fenwick slicing the ball?Me too, but only because I have to watch Steve Hodge slice it backwards like a dick and then Shilton lumbering out for no reason before failing to out jump someone 5 foot 5.

I was under the impression Oyston would have been forced to sell by Richard Scudamore if we stayed up as he didn't pass their owner testBlackburn Rovers away in the Prem
Then again we’d probably still have Rapey as owner.
Terry Fenwick?Was it not Steve Fenwick slicing the ball?
That's the one.Terry Fenwick?
Nah, Hodge filling in, Fenwick had come inside to cover Maradona.Was it not Steve Fenwick slicing the ball?
Start of our bad run. I mentioned this match on the Chesterfield thread.Or the Paul Holland, equally wonder goal, a few days prior at Cheaterfield
He'd gave just 'given' it to one of his horrendous brood.I was under the impression Oyston would have been forced to sell by Richard Scudamore if we stayed up as he didn't pass their owner test
Yep remember arriving late and there was no spare terracing to be found without blocking someone's view,I had to make do with standing right at the back and jumping up and down during the rare interesting bits.Start of our bad run. I mentioned this match on the Chesterfield thread.
Was amazed how many Pool turned up for that match and the atmosphere.
Saltergate was a dump, but when it was full, produced an amazing atmosphere and noise.
I was a plod on duty in the Pool end and was at the back with my helmet off jumping about when it got exciting. Managed to watch the whole match.Yep remember arriving late and there was no spare terracing to be found without blocking someone's view,I had to make do with standing right at the back and jumping up and down during the rare interesting bits.
Totally agree with that - That team was better than the 2009/2010 squad ..I'd have loved to see Ollie's second squad in the Prem. I think they'd have done better than his first squad did.
Apart from Coleman.Totally agree with that - That team was better than the 2009/2010 squad ..
